7/7/2023 0 Comments Deet dark crystal![]() ![]() Now that she’s infected, it’s hard to imagine where those moments of levity might appear in a potential subsequent season. Obviously things will end badly for all of the Gelfling, if the original film is to remain canon (which it most likely will), but Deet’s position as a beacon of love throughout Season 1 were some of my favorite moments. I can’t help but be concerned for the future of my new favorite Muppet, not just in the sense that she’s left at the end of the series with the worst fate of the cast, but also because of what this might do to the balance of the series moving forward. This day, the many become one!" Deet explains to Hup earlier in the series that she hopes to one day be responsible for the unification of all Gelfling and her willingness to give her identity and self for the good of the many is what allows her dream to become a reality. In Mother Aughra's final speech to the Gelfling as they celebrate their triumph, she tells them that their win "doesn't belong to a single Gelfling, or a single Clan, It belongs to all of us, all of Thra, united. For another take on The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, here's how the new Netflix series is bringing the magic of Jim Henson to life again: In the final episode, she absorbs so much - too much - of the darkening that the Emperor hurls on the Gelflings and their allies for the sake of protecting her friends. Much later in the series, Deet is gifted the ability to absorb the power of the Darkening within herself thanks to the Sanctuary tree. Deet's stance to say no against hatred, and yes to the love of all of the creatures of Thra serves not only as another example of her overall awesomeness, but a reminder that when it comes to certain issues, that being nice to one another maybe isn't the most difficult task to ask of ourselves. It's when Hup tells Deet the correct path to Ha'rar, that he receives a small kiss, and he and I made this face: As Deet expresses her confidence in the ability to unite all Gelfling against the Darkening, Hup explains that it's unlikely they'll receive aid when needed because the majority of Gelfling clans do not interact with one another, simply because they are different. Their banter continues to provide the viewer with heartwarming glee, as Deet questions the world around her, and Hup explains in the most sincere, and best way that he's capable of. It's quick, and doesn't overstay its welcome. The dialogue that is shared between Deet and Hup throughout that scene, and their early adventures in the series closely resembles what one might experience in a game of Dungeons and Dragons. She’s greeted by everything from violence to racism - but fortunately she has someone just as delightful as she is to come to her aid.ģ3 Images When confronted with the Arathim, she's (kind of?) rescued by Hup, a podling with a thirst for adventure whose ultimate goal is to become a brave Paladin in the All-Maudra's army. When Deet begins to encounter various creatures on the surface of Thra, she tries to win them over with her charm and kindness. That realization comes to Deet too once she ventures to the surface world of Thra. Though the Jim Henson Company production on the surface seems like it could be lighter fantasy fare, it quickly becomes clear that this is a dark world where horrible things can and will happen to creatures we care about. ![]() Much like Game of Thrones, no character - Gelfling or otherwise - is safe from death in Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. Thankfully throughout the series, one character does his very best to ensure Deet's safety. ![]() In less than 60 minutes, this series manages to introduce characters, places, and plot points that are entirely new, and thanks to the 1982 film's established story, we're left not only rooting for our heroes but shaken at the idea that anything would ever happen to them. She's so concerned for the condition of her world and loved ones that she's willing to leave everything behind (having no experience mind you) in order to restore balance. “When Deet speaks with the Sanctuary Tree in the first episode, she's being thrust into her place in the Hero - or in this case Heroine's Journey.
