What I found out today
I put up with Netflix cancelling shows like The Curious Creations of Christine McConnell, Tuca and Bertie, One Day at a Time (2017), and Daybreak. The one show I didn’t expect them to cancel was The Dark Crystal Age of Resistance. I don’t know if it was because of the pandemic or budget reasons, but you don’t kill a golden goose like the The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance when it was bringing a new generation to the The World of the Dark Crystal! I read the creators will try to continue the story in the future but they made do it in graphic novel format or novel format like the sequel, Power of the Dark Crystal, which while it was satisfying to read, I really wanted to see the sequel in film because I don’t have a vivid imagination for british accents when I read graphic novels. I want a film series of The Dark Crystal Age of Resistance to continue the journey of how The Dark Crystal Began, including seeing the birth of Jen and Kira and more details of how they meet the Mystiks and Podlings. I know it won’t happen right away but I don’t want to wait 37 years to see The world of The Dark Crystal on screen in my lifetime! I’m expecting time like around 2024 so the settings are still around and not destroyed because of Covid-19 and Netflix respectfully. So I hope other Dark Crystal fans feel the same rage as I do for this great loss. I’m not saying to boycott Netflix because I still watch for the exclusive anime, but I don’t want cult classics to disappear after Netflix cancels a show and still have the streaming rights to show the season the helped produced for their streaming service. I know I want a film series of The Dark Crystal Age of Resistance and The Power of The Dark Crystal in my life time and an arbitration with Netflix before I die. The next time someone pitches a cult classic show to Netflix, please make sure it is a limited series so I don’t expect a second season.
