Theres going to be some spoilers to the show so if you wanna just go on a whim and watch it you wont regret it. It has awesome mix of CGI and puppetry!
In the world of Thra the Gelfings are controlled by the Skeksis. The Skeksis are starting to die so they decided to use the life force of the gelfings to live. Even though one of the good guys finds out and tries to spread the world a large majority believes the superior overlords just to suck up to them.
This is how our world is. The 99% is ruled by the greedy old 1%. They just use us for our lifeforce, were living paycheck to paycheck from a young age until we die. While they have more wealth than entire nations and can get away with doing whatever they want. This is anywhere from bribing or I mean “lobbying” politicians, abusing workers, litelar slave labour, or even sadistic shit like Epstein island. There are even some of us that support them even though we know about all the shit they do. These are the people we make fun of on this sub, think of the guys that say stuff like “Oh you only worked 40 hours, try 80 out in the sun like ME”
Its truly a fucked up world we live in and I feel like this TV show does a good job capturing it. Expect as were conditioned to believe from an early age “the good guy always wins”. Which is the biggest lie ever told as we are ruled by the “self made” billionaires
