Honestly, I feel really bad for skekTek. He's basically a weak nerd who sided with the popular kid in hopes of being accepted, but he ended up more miserable than anything else. skekTek became my second favorite skeksis during the AoR because I think he's more relatable than the others are. I like to think in death all the skeksis and urru reunite into their true forms. It's both peace and punishment because they'll regain their ability to feel remorse over the horrible things they've done.

I think DwM should cover a video theory what would happen to them in the afterlife. Like the skesis well experience a dante's inferno situation so they may understand their wrong doings and feel remorse for them, while the uru well go on a spiritually path to gain full knowledge of who they were and become one at the end of their travels.

While I love this analysis (given that Skektek is my favorite skeksis), I'd just like to add to the scene where Aughra is being drained, because Skektek looks to the Emperor before replying to Aughras mentions of them being friends once. It shows that, even then, he was still after the approval of the Skeksis around him, to the point where he would forsake his own feelings and opinions just for that approval and acceptance.

While the other skeksis just hang around, he literally finds a way to make them immortal. But they still don't take him seriously, they ignore him, abuse him, and still talk about him like he's useless (Even though he just made them immortal). He's also surprisingly naive. The Chamberlain pretends to be his friend, and then backstabs him cruelly. As socially awkward as he is, he doesn't fit in with the other skeksis, and doesn't have any friends apart from the animals in his laboratory, which he actually cares for (For a skeksis, to actually show signs of empathy is quite the exception). Even though he's rather submissive with the other skeksis, without him their ending would have come a lot sooner. *I thought this was a great portrayal for the "genius" skeksis. Some of his lines really touched a soft spot in me. He's a skeksis, which means that he's basically the evil instincts of someone, but I still feel he didn't deserve such a sad ending. It would have been cool to see his mystic twin. One of my favorite characters, great job creators and Mark Hamill.*

I’ve always seen SkekTek more as a tragic character rather than a creature born from the evil of a celestial being. Most of his actions seem to try to win the approval of the other Skeksis rather than extend his life span or gain political power. Unfortunately, all of his efforts are met with criticism, abuse, and an increased hunger for more power from the other Skeksis. It feels like his efforts being met with such hostility and little praise drove him mad as opposed to him being born mad during the great divide. In other words, unlike the other Skeksis, nurture made him evil, not nature. It’s especially tragic that the ones who drove him to madness and forced him to do such evil actions were reunited with their other halves while SkekTek perished.

I think his compassionate side really showed when his pet (the bird-like caged creature) was almost crushed to death as a means to force the Scientist to give an answer on how many Gelfling they would need to drain. He didn't want to answer that, both because he wanted the others to understand that abusing the crystal was just a short-term solution that would ultimately make things far worse, and because he probably feared what they would do to him if his calculations were incorrect. In the end, though, he relented and called out a number just to save his pet. I somehow like to imagine that the pet was his only confider and that he would sometimes talk to it rather than to himself while working, and take it out of its cage to pet it when he was feeling overly stressed.

As sympathetic as his character mightve been originally he was truly one of the most cruel and evil of the Skeksis. He mercilessly mocked his victims before draining him. When the other skeksis were in battle he abused the podlings so bad that they actually protested him (think about how whipped and obedient they were at that point). The way he killed the gruenaks too was sickening. It doesnt matter what your origin is. If you let your past make you evil youre still evil.
@dionbaillargeon4899
@dionbaillargeon4899 Жыл бұрын
I think his brutal abuse of the podlings and killing of the gruenaks was born out of frustration because of all the abuse he himself had suffered from the other skeksis. Had he not been so brutally mistreated, be probably would had been a much gentler character. When Skekso threatened to crush one of the caged creatures in his lab, he looked really distressed and really seemed to care. He probably viewed some of those creatures as pets or "friends" (the emperor's words) rather than just creatures to experiment on. He also seemed to look sorry for Aughra. He's probably the only skeksis whith any spark of empathy left.

Now having seen Joker finally last week, I can't help but draw certain comparisons between the two. And not just because Mark Hamil is the most brilliant voice actor to have ever voiced The Joker, and happens to voice SkekTek. Their stories are similar. Just trying to get through life, but it keeps throwing curve balls and he does what he think is best but ends up committing horrible atrocities. The fact that he seemed to want to drain as few Gelfling as possible, and was worried about the possible negative outcomes of what he truly saw as abusing The Crystal. Those two facts just make me sympathise with his character more. Like was mentioned about the Gruenaks, I feel like he did what he did to them not out of a feeling of "this is what the Emperor SkekSo would want", but rather I feel like he felt betrayed by them, by them trying to escape. It's sad because if things were different, I could have seen him ending up on the other side. But we all know from the movie, they there is no happy ending for him.

Ones like skekung, skekvar and skekmal kept themselves busy killing stuff. The ornementalist as insane as his methods were went to a lot of effort making those frilly ass cloaks for the rest of the skeksis. Collector looked like they were slacking but they’re clearly not very healthy anyway.

I agree on both of your points. Growing up with my favourite cartoon being Batman: The Animated Series, the fact that Mark Hamil (who did the Joker's voice in that cartoon and a few of the animated movies) also voices SkekTek is a bonus point right away. As well as the fact that, as you said, I felt bad for SkekTek. Mark's brilliant voice acting and the fact that he seems to actually want to drain as few Gelfling as possible, and is worried about the possible repercussions and negative outcomes made me feel terrible for him. The smartest in the room, sort of like The Scrollkeeper... but without the bite. I sympathise with him, like how Joaquin Phoenix made me sympathise with The Joker. Despite the horrible acts both committed, you see how they got there.

1:01 , 2:20 , 3:14 and 5:14 SkekTek perhaps deserved the most sympathy of all. Despite being a Skeksis and inevitably evil as such, he didn’t seem to actually enjoy hurting others as much as the other Skeksis. SkekTek mostly seemed to just do as he was told to avoid beatings. 7:14 , 7:43 , 8:20 and 8:44 Among all the UrRu/Skeksis pairs that perished, UrTih and SkekTek were perhaps the saddest. As many fans know, if only SkekTek hadn’t plunged to his death and taken UrTih with him during the film, they’d have been reunited just minutes later. Then exactly half of the 18 UrRu/ SkekSis pairs would’ve been reunited and returned to their true form. But sadly, only 8 of the 18 pairs were fortunate enough to become whole again. We can only hope that the UrRu and Skeksis pairs become one again when they die, which I would imagine they do since their souls are still linked as one. Hopefully the 10 pairs that perished all found peace in one way or another after death, especially since the Great Division was basically just a failed experiment.

The most important and history-defining skeksis of them all! SkekTek created and refined the process of essence draining and created the Garthim. Without him, the skeksis would have died off much, much sooner. The most pivotal moments in their history are directly influenced and related to him and his work. Yes, WORK. He was one of the extremely few skeksis that actually got off his ass and did something with his talents. Just imagine how the history of Thra would have been different if he was the first skeksis killed. No other skeksis life had such an impact.

This one left me with a heavy feeling of melancholy. What's so interesting about SekTek is that his story about being abused and growing a complex is so relatable in real life. He once did what he loved but suffered and eventually lost interest. He eventually found an unhealthy outlet (like most of us do) and became bitter and dangerous just like the rest of them. Unlike the others he actually cared about Auhgra and his little critter friends. Until he suffered at the abuse of the other skesis.

If he had a higher rank, he probably would have found a lasting more permanent solution. Or come to the realization that they don't belong and need to be joined with their other halves.

I agree with most comments here and I idolise scientist characters. I just want to add that I like how different the Skeksis are. Sciencetist is an abused genius who wants recognition and any of his warnings and attempts at moderation fall on dead ears. Chamberlain is the best politician and only pushed the blame on sciencetist to save himself. General wants to brute force his way through life. Emperor has willpower and a vision of grandeur and will just push aside any obstacles and doubts, which works even on what sciencetist is capable of.

I have a theory that some of the skeksis and mystics are part of thra in some form. Skektek had some of his essence drained by the crystal itself meaning a part of him is now part of thra while skekmal manifested aughra which could mean part of him is in aughra who is also part of thra. Skekmal and skektek being favored by thra itself as skektek was good friends with aughra and skekmal lived off of thra.

How did his Mystic counterpart survive all the experiments SkekTek did to himself. I mean he replace his jugular vein with a tube, but why didn't that kill him, his counterpart wouldn't have had the components or knowledge to fix him self, so he should have died, which would have also killed SkekTek.

Yet he was turned away from battle for... reasons (I think skekSo was being honest when he suggested skekTek couldn't be risked, but was incapable of doing it in a non-douchey manner). I just don't buy that skekOk isn't physically weaker than the Scientist. The weird thing is they're both intellectual types who ought to be equally despised by their cohorts, but only skekTek is "the nerd." SkekOk is tolerated even though his particular specialty is less useful to the Skeksis than is skekTek's.
