#Brea dark crystal series

An early bit of sage advice helps Aughra reorient herself with the heart of Thra while a battle scene a bit later has The Archer fending off The Hunter at the risk of his own life.

#Brea dark crystal series

The Archer - Г“lafur Darri Г“lafsson ( True Detective) - One of only two Mystics in all of the prequel series (so far), The Archer has few moments on screen, but they're important ones. Plus, he's the only one brave enough to hug an Arathim. Gurjin refused to give into Skeksis torture and survived to be freed by his sister Naia and the Vapran princess Tavra. The Drenchen guard was the first to dreamfast with Rian to see the truth of the Skeksis' evil, sacrificing himself to allow Rian a chance to escape. None exemplify this better than Gurjin, Rian's brother-in-arms. Gurjin - Harris Dickinson ( Maleficent 2) - Now we get into a group of Good Guys who made solid contributions to the fight against the Skeksis but were still relegated to the ranks of supporting characters. We'd also like to know more about the Dousan Clan member and his past dealings with The Hunter. Rek'yr - Theo James ( The Divergent Series) - Rek'yr makes the most of his limited screentime by not only giving the Gelfling rebels a one-way flight to the Circle of the Suns but also delivering some powerfully flirtatious vibes with Princess Brea. We double down on that when it's revealed that Ordon was a hero of the Arathim war in the past and that he once wielded the Dual Glaive, an artifact that holds the key to the Gelfling's victory. It's not until we see the Stonewood captain of the castle guard sacrifice himself in battle against The Hunter to save his son's life that we feel a bit more sympathy for him. Loyal to a fault, Ordon even believes the Skeksis' lies about his son and follows their orders to bring him in for the greater good. Ordon - Mark Strong ( Kingsman) At first blush, Ordon is simply a scarred and battle-born hardass who exists only to make his son Rian's life regimented and miserable. He does try to limit the princess's curiosity once she starts to delve into things he thinks are beyond her, it's a misguided attempt to protect her rather than simply silence her. Librarian - Toby Jones ( Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) Though we lose track of the Librarian relatively early on-at least until he shows up at the end of the series to announce the Vapra Clan's late arrival-his early encouragement of Brea's inquisitiveness is key to getting the story started. But we're saving a few gems for the Top 3, and anything goes here since all creatures of Thra (and beyond) deserve a chance to shape the destiny of the Dark Crystal. The same goes for the Good Guys, including the Gelfling and their allies throughout the tale. So below you'll find a definitive ranking of the Skeksis, with the ones who left the least impression at the bottom/first and those who we loved to hate at the top/last.

We toyed with the idea of doing one big ranking from The Worst of the Worst (which would 100% be a Skeksis character at their best) to the Best of the Best (which may be a Podling, a Mystic, a Gelfling, or whatever the Thra Aughra is), but instead, we're going to do a few different rankings.

Hopefully there are more coming in the near future, but this should suffice for starters. So we've put together a character ranking that sums up just how useful (or deliciously deceitful) each of the characters was in these 10 episodes. She also designed the Skeksis alphabet and the triangle shaped Skeksis book of law which Brea had dropped when she received her vision.Major spoilers ahead for Netflix's The Dark Crystal and The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.Д«y now, hopefully you've watched the new prequel series to The Dark Crystal. Broadhurst, talks about it and flips through several pages. There's also a brief part in the 'making of' documentary The Crystal Calls on Netflix where the creator of the handmade journal, Phillipa J.E. After getting to know her and see her skills as an artist and scribe, as well as getting to see the spark lighting up between Rian and Deet, it was interesting to see that Brea had drawn this picture of them made as well as she could, with the simple depiction of her new friends brave Rian and gentle Deet. This is probably my favorite detail in the entire series, and makes Brea my favorite character. Plus, the Gelfling girl in Brea's diary is crownless, while Brea always keeps her princess tiara on. Deet has blond hair with green streaks, while Brea is blond with purple streaks. Those big, beautiful eyes are serenely closed, but they're large lids.
