7 Best Characters In “The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance”

The original “Dark Crystal” was released in 1982 and created by the Jim Hanson’s puppet company. The movie tells about a magical land that for centuries was inhabited by the peace-loving Gelflings. Prosperity and peace reigned everywhere, but once a terrible misfortune occurred: the Dark Crystal was damaged, which disturbed the balance of chaos and order, and the poor Gelflings were enslaved by vicious lizard-like Skeksis oppressors. The brave Gelflings Jen and Kira must now search for the missing part of the crystal to repair it and save their people.

The Netflix series takes place several years before the events of the movie. The main characters find out that the evil Skeksis race damaged the magic crystal that rules the laws of the Universe and need to make things right again. Because of them, an uprising begins that can destroy the cruel invaders. If you thought the movie had too many characters, wait till you see the series!

This is why out of dozens of semi-important characters we’ve picked seven that you will definitely enjoy!

1. Rian – Taron Egerton

You just can’t resist the charm of the main hero of the story. Rian may start off as a naive hero, but as the plot thickens, all the betrayals and people he lost start piling on. His hero journey begins from the very bottom, and by the end, he’s an entirely different Gelfling with new friends and allies, but with the same pure goals.

2. Baffi the Fizzgig – Dave Goelz

Fizzgigs are amazing, and we want more of them! Especially Baffi, the badass Fizz with an eye-patch that likes to hang out with Maudra Fara. Where did Baffi lose his eye in the first place? We don’t know, but he deserves a spin-off series.

3. The Heretic – Andy Samberg

Skeksis are also quite memorable, especially the ones that tried to convince his fellow lizard-birds to do things the right way. The Heretic teams up with The Wanderer to deliver the Shard of Division to the Gelflings. One of the coolest good guys of the show.
