With the ongoing discussion about related Symbolism in Movies and TV, (Monsters Inc., Dark Crystal etc)

Where was the discussion about Dark Crystal?

I thought it was shockingly red-pilled for anything on TV these, let alone something produced by Netflix. Don't think they understood what they were producing to be honest. They probably thought it was anti-Christian, when in fact it is something else entirely.

I wonder what other goats thought about it.

I had the same feeling when I watched it. Jim Henson the original creator seemed like a real deal creative who was indeed perhaps pilling via puppets. He is dead now, but his wife and studio seemed to have more control than is usual over the Netflix series. Perhaps she was honoring his legacy and intent.

Yeah, I mean, it's not even subtle about it. At all.

You've got these awkward and nasty hook-beaked creatures with whiny voices, who are aliens that showed up thousands of years ago, and subverted the old gods of the land, to take over and rule from the shadows, by manipulating the truth and spreading deception, in a land full of productive people who naively trust them, while they themselves produce nothing, but demand annual tithes, and drain them of their very life force, in a vain quest for immortality.

And that's just the general theme. The parallels continue and become deeper as you look closer. There's even a Jesus figure, as well as references to old vs new testament, the Eye of Providence, mass media, propaganda, class warfare vs class unification, miscegenation as a weapon, etc, etc.

I still can't wrap my mind around how this was produced by Netflix in current year.

Netflix is probably more interested in domination than what they leak. Airwaves, our time, attention and perhaps our emotion, keep the media machine rolling.

While I like to believe Hensen had positive intent, They seem to be more concerned with feeding the same story. Even straight up telling us in some karmic neutrality play. Or perhaps they figure puppets like cartoons will dismiss or desensitize us from the truth. Glad you can see through it!
