The Dark Crystal: Difference between revisions

Line 52:

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|Completely subverted with the Chamberlain. Defrocked and kicked out of the Skeksis' castle, he makes obvious peace overtures to Jen and Kira. When Jen stabs him for his pains, he promptly kidnaps Kira and scuttles back to the castle to redeem himself in the eyes of the other Skeksis. Whether he did it because of the [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|hostile reception he got]], or because he was [[Evil All Along]], is left for the viewer.}}

* [[The Hero]]: Jen

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|1=Many of the cute little fuzzballs that force SkekTek into the bottomless shaft go down with him. Fizzgig too, though he ends up catching hold of something and gets rescued by Aughra. And of course, Kira.}}

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|1=Many of the cute little fuzzballs that force SkekTek into the bottomless shaft go down with him. Fizzgig too, though he ends up catching hold of something and gets rescued by Aughra. And the Landstriders, who throw themselves at the much-stronger Garthim to protect Jen and Kira. And of course, Kira herself.}}

* [[Hobbits]]: This is more or less what gelflings and/or Podlings are supposed to be. They're much smaller than all the other people in the setting, and the podlings are definitely merry.

* [[Ironic Name]]: The Skesis scientist's laboratory, where he keeps all those jailed critters and drains Podlings and Gelflings from their vital essence? Its official name is "the Chamber of Life".
