Tv tropes the dark crystal5/3/2023 ![]() Badass Baritone: Courtesy of Jason Isaacs.Ascended Extra: Becomes the Big Bad of the Netflix show after a minute of screen time in the movie.Their combat skills have rusted away over the trine but they're still physically larger and stronger than most of Thra's life. Unskilled but Strong: More or less their fighting strategy.Synchronization: Any injury of theirs is shared by their Mystic counterpart and vice-versa.No Body Left Behind: When they die, their bodies break down into ash.Certainly those Skeksis who don't live at the castle don't seem to need it to sustain their lives. Magic Feather: Consuming essence might be this for them.Formerly Fit: Aughra outright notes that they've gotten fat and lazy since the Great Division and a far cry from the feared warriors they once were.They started out as pragmatic enough, and some ended their lives as such, but the Skeksis as a whole ended their lives by always bowing to Stupid Evil. Flanderization: An In-Universe example.Feigning Intelligence: Collectively they all only ever have the most basic idea of what skekTek is saying but always act like they get everything.Fatal Flaw: As skekTek and skekSil seem aware of, being creatures of vice gives them precious little in the way of long-term planning and they can often fall victim to Didn't Think This Through.right up until they see how it will benefit them. It always looks like they're appalled by skekTek's latest gruseome discovery. Even Evil Has Standards: Set up in order to constantly be subverted.Card-Carrying Villain: Most of them are unashamed of being Made of Evil.The only reason they didn't tear themselves apart was because they were all so terrified of skekSo. Asskicking Equals Authority: The only way to maintain authority among them.Which is why they don't pick up on the fact that skekSil clearly killed skekVar. Hurt and even mutilate another Skeksis all you want, but never outright kill one. Ape Shall Never Kill Ape: Pretty much their own rule.PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted.Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed.
