SkekMal demonstrated, in addition to their incomparable magic and stranglehold over life, how physically intimidating and violent the Skeksis truly were; The Hunter is practically an incarnation of this, a relentless juggernaut that will never abandon the chase for his quarry.
Something about the way the Hunter moves is just terrifying. I think it's because the skeksis tend to move in a slower fashion (probably due to the weight of the puppets), they can gesture and look around quickly, but they never run. Hunter moves way faster than something his size should move and it's deeply unsettling. Doesn't help how in the bits where he's CG instead of a puppet he's jumping and climbing through the trees like a goddamn xenomorph.
I thinks it’s also cause you can see his legs. Since the other skeksis wear gowns, they kinda almost glide along. So not only does Skekmal move faster, but you can SEE him move
I know. I don't think I'll ever forgive Netflix for cancelling this masterpiece of a show. What's even more sad is that they've done that lots of times: continuing bad shows but cancelling good ones like this. I don't even have words, I was so angry they cancelled AOR.
the scene where he is jumping and crawling through the trees feels like the only point where he is the same as the supernatural monster that "Shadows of the Dark Crystal" painted him to be
And you want to know the scariest part? At one point, ALL the Skeksis were like this. Imagine a whole pack of them leaping through the trees and running along the branches like SkekMal does.
Hahaha. Skekis Skemal showing us all the absolute perks of a very active and healthy lifestyle. I mean, he’s the exact same age as the other Skekis, and look at how fast and agile he still is compared to the rest of them!
Moments like this are how CGI ideally SHOULD be used, portraying complex visuals and spectacle that isn''t possible with just puppets/practical effects.
Took me a while to pinpoint exactly what made SkekMal so memorable and resonate with me so well. Pale skull mask, trophy collector, alarmingly fast despite imposing size, suffered fatal injury before being revived through complex science complete with newly outfitted metal plating, blademaster who surprises his prey with a second pair of arms when the fight is at its most climactic? He's a ye' olden avian General Grievous for fuck's sake, and I can't get enough of it!
One of my favorite skesis Skekmal is his very animalistic personality and also he out all of his kind get himself up with strength and likes to fight and hunt also I like how they said when he was younger he was most handsome of the skeksis which I did find funny
@@TempestGhost yep I also think he let himself age more than most of the skeksis and I do think he didn't go to a circle of sun so he decided not try to make himself live longer
@@ToonZilla200i do wonder how did je live this long without the use of the crystal anyway bc i never thought of that i was thinking he did that in secret when the other aren't aware or etc but him not using the crystal is something i didnt expected
Shame it got cancelled, but it's kind of a miracle that it even managed to get made with it's type of production. We even got a strategy game out of it.
@@hopelessfairytale I still blame Netflix to this day. There was a joke where Manray wants to pay Netflix to make some more shows. To which Netflix canceled the shows even though they're still good. That's the problem I have with Netflix they have good shows and then they just cancel them because they're greedy.
@@monkeycat48I haven’t subscribed to Netflix in over 4 years. I cancelled immediately after this cancelled. They don’t have Daredevil. Stranger Things is almost done. Nothing short of a trailer drop for season 2 of dark crystal could make me sign up again.
Definitely my favorite SkekSis. Like The Garthim. He reminds me of a Kaiju being an actor in a suit with an animatronic face and for his monstrous Personality.
I feel bad for skekMal. Was he even in the loop about the Skeksis draining the gelfling? After all, the whole reason he was chasing after Rian was because he was under the impression from skekSil that he was spreading lies and slandering the Skeksis. It seems like he was just trying to uphold the honor of his kin. skekSil didn’t try to grab and drink the vial of Mira’s essence until after he was gone. We never saw him drink any until he was wounded and he wasn’t even cognizant of it. He’s no angel, but I’m inclined to think he abides by a personal code of ethics and by the lifestyle he lives, has a certain respect for nature and Thra by extension, would he even have approved of what the other Skeksis were doing? At the very least he’d be chaffed about being lied to about the whole situation. But if he wouldn’t have been, then why would skekSil withhold the truth at all?
It's an interesting phenomenon, too, that skekMal managed to maintain his vitality without attending the crystal ceremonies that kept the other skeksis alive. Which implies that his lifestyle mostly staved off the decay the rest of them suffered from. Mostly, since he's still visibly warped compared to the art of how the skeksis initially looked, but he's maintained his strength/agility and the use of all four arms. So he definitely lived by a rigid code of some sort, whether or not it had to do with ethics, and one that kept him more in tune with Thra -- since he didn't rely on stealing Thra's lifeforce through the crystal, but was able to exist individually instead.
I mean it would make sense considering he’s one of the few Skeksis to live a life outside the castle and the same can be said for fewer like SkekSa the Mariner in regards to how their bodies changed over time.
If i remember the extra material about the original move implied that essence was more about the fear of death and what would become of the Skeksis if/when they died. SkekMal for better or worse was rather simple minded and he knew it "when will the rest of you learn only the Hunter matters", so unless SkekMal learned his life would eventually come to and end and essence was the only way to avoid it then i doubt they would have cared.
I still remember seeing the original Dark Crystal, and then seeing this in action? It really shows how far the Skeksis have fallen, and how dangerous thet must have been in their prime.
One thing I LOVE about this character are his foot steps. Most other Skeksis, kinda just shuffle around. But with SkekMal, each of his footfalls is an audible, purposeful "THUD". It really emphasizes his power and force of will, compared to the other Skeksis.
Come to think of it the skesis were very similar to the uppermoons from kny but when you think about bc the skesis were absorbing literally life essence shouldnt the skesis also be like skekmal too it would make sense really
That was kind of the point really. While SkekMal was always the mightiest of them, all Skeksi were supposedly once capable of great physical prowess, but centuries of sedentary hedonism had caused them to wither away. SkekMal on the other hand was constantly pushing himself in his endless search for ever more challenging prey.
@justflex6745 hmm true no argument there but you can agree the skesis are scarily similar to demons from kny but the thing is what if the hunter drank essence everyday while staying fit and more and say that's a recipe for disaster meaning if skekmal did he would have been 10x strong than he would be even if he dranked augrah essence it would still be scary imagine him coming after a gelflin that on the other side of the world and he just got there less than day that's truly terrifying
In the Young Adult Novels, SkekMal was a legend among the GelfLing. They didn’t know what he was. GelfLing parents would scare their children by telling them of SkekMal so they would behave. Many assumed he was an evil spirit. He is said to have fought Jara Jen and he murdered Kylan’s parents. SkekMal went by many names such as Four Arms or simply The Hunter.
Much other people suggested The Hunter was one of the few skeksis who retained a great amount of their so called peak natural form. I wonder how this one was raised to become what he was
Actually maintaining an active lifestyle in nature instead of lazing about the castle all the time, doing his own work instead of having others do it for him, he doesn't even need to use the crystal to maintain himself.
The swordplay in some of these scenes is INCREDIBLE! Let's not forget, with the exception of a few CGI moments, these are puppets! But Rian and his father facing Skek-Mal together is truly riveting, and the funny thing is we don't really see the swings, for the most part, we see the swords connect. Clever editing and sound design make it feel like an intense duel.
I remember watching this it was awesome disappointed that this was cancelled i curse netflix i do hope that one day some other tv company pick up season 2 and make it i hope i really want to see it happen i do like the skesis they were creepy and funny well the chamberline my favourite character is the three gelfling protagonists and the skesis emperor till net time friend.?
Oh man . I just love SkekMal , he’s so badass😍 He’s everything I always wanted from a Skeksis , agile , almost animalistic , a great fighter , really intimidating. Just a straight up monster . SkekMal is next to Sil best Skeksis 😁
It’s terrifying to see the Lords of the Crystal at their pique physical form in Skekmal. The others are shriveled and weak from staying in their castle and getting fat.
You know. The fact this show was cancelled shows them what sparks imaginations, inspires and makes us happy, hopeful even. So they get rid of it. Because people without these things are easier to control.
The only Skesis with all four functional arms, while the others have really small pair of second arms that are the size of twigs. The other Skeksis were just wasting themselves away in their castle, draining the Dark Crystal and Essence, while SkekMal lived a longer and healthier life as a hunter, like Kraven.
And this is what happens when a xenomorph egg lands on Thra,it impregnates a skeksis and then we get this terrifying monstrosity that only desires violence and blood...
SkekSil may rely on verbal combat as a defense to save his own behind, but SkekMal relies on physical combat for offence just for the thrill of it. Both Skeksis are on the same side, yet both are basically polar opposites unlike their urRu counterparts which represent their good qualities and nature.
the only other role I know Nick Kellington the suit performer of the Hunter of is that of a large white alien who was one of the rebels from the Star Wars movie Rouge One.
The only actually badass Skeksis, also probably the only honorable one as well. I get Khorne vibes from him, he's a brutal piece of s...., but he's a warrior, he never lies, cheats or deceives, the only offputting thing about him is that he finds no prey is below his honor. He doesn't care to fight a more challenging pray, only that it's his target.
This show was fantastic, and it's SO sad they cancelled it. AOR would've been basically flawless if two UrRu hadn't died completely off screen when SkekVar and SkekLach were killed. Of the 3 Skeksis that died on this show, only SkekMal's counterpart (UrVa the Archer) was shown at all. That's my only real complaint about this show.
I've come to realize that skeksis are very strong compared to gelfling and gruenak but they still struggle instead of easily wiping out their targets. Imagine how powerful would a human be in Thra? probably outdoing Skekmal himself and even be able to fly with our own muscles and a conveniently sized membrane .

It is said that SkekMal is the most athletic of the Skeksis and has remained so.
What's terrifying is that all the Skeksis were like that at one point. They've just all let themselves go after centuries of rule.
So you can imagine a frikin whole group with d them running through the tree like that with some doing their malicious laughs
while the other skesis were busy toiling in their politics and petty squabbles, Skekmal mastered the hunt.
I thinks it’s also cause you can see his legs. Since the other skeksis wear gowns, they kinda almost glide along. So not only does Skekmal move faster, but you can SEE him move
I respect the hunter, he’s not some petty schemer he’s a simple skesis who just enjoys a good hunt
simple but cunning.
And was the last of them to be in peak physical shape
@@Tanzenergise that's what is supposed to be any hunter in the wild. Spirit has to be as sharp as the body.

I wanted good story telling. It was not to be.
Hunter was a true villain. Cunning, menacing, clever, fast. And he had absolutely no qualms about killing anyone standing in his way.
Henson himself would be delighted that a prequel to his masterpiece was so beloved by audiences 😊
Glad to see that us Dark Crystal fans are still enjoying this series.
I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU NETFLIX!!!!
Definitely Netflix dropped the ball on this one never forgive
But Big Mouth the kiddie hentai series gets several seasons…

SkekMal the Hunter, a badass name and title deserving for a badass character in Dark Crystal. He lived and died for the hunt.
the scene where he is jumping and crawling through the trees feels like the only point where he is the same as the supernatural monster that "Shadows of the Dark Crystal" painted him to be
