When Dune Messiah is released it will be considered better than the LOTR trilogy. Cope.

>>212734274
You've got to be fucking kidding me. Have you read Messiah? It's a bunch of people talking in dimly lit rooms brooding and scheming starring an eccentric dwarf, a crone, a shapeshifter and a fucked up mutant abomination in a tank, how could audiences possibly connect with that?

>>212734068 (OP)

>>212734068 (OP)
Aside from some interesting looking shots, it's just boring

its actually too based for general audience, because whereas you could argue that
>LotR / Star Wars
achieve stuff through the power of friendship, Dune is about one incredibly gifted, superior, based individual slowly bending the whole world to his divine will, with his domain expanding more and more. The path of Paul Atreides isnt something that modern critics would praise, but feel threatened by.
The Zendaya's character sort of represents the modern audience and ideology regarding this, where she gives that sad/worried look of disapproval all the time at the path he leads and wishes to stop it.

That was like netfix releasing a whole season in one day, but the early 00's.

no doubt zendaya ruined chani's character and made the love story implausible
but let's not forget timothee's overacting

sometimes I think im the only person on this board who enjoys movies.

Villeneuve is a lot more solid than Jackson. All Jackson has is

Villeneuve has nothing but solid scifi behind him

This is very true. Villeneuve has admitted as much, stating in interviews how the subject matter and themes of Dune make him deeply uncomfortable. It should come as not surprise to see how much he neuters his adaptation.
>bizarre race and gender swaps

>Dune is about one incredibly gifted, superior, based individual
No, it's actually about Frank Herbert's virulent homophobia.

>>212735416
Where do you get that?

They're really great films but Villeneuve is such a visually boring director.

I don’t want them to make Dune another big IP. There’s already multiple video games and a tv show. It all feels homogenized borrowing the same aesthetic with the sanitized movies as the main pillar. What I want is more adaptations from completely different groups and their own original takes on the setting that aren’t beholden to franchise whoring so they can actually show off the scary stuff

>>212734901
Neptune vs SpongeBob

Will the legendary Dunc finally make an appearance in Messiah? Is Dunc the Messiah?

>>212736223
His name is DUNCan Idaho and he's the real main character of the DUNC series

>>212734068 (OP)
Very overrated. The first one is a bad movie since it doesn't even have an ending. Events are in full motion, and then the story just fucking stops. Fuck you Villenfool. I don't care to hear about the excuses. When the story just stops, that's a bad movie. It's not about being faithful to the story, as they're making many changes to the story. Can't stand this fart huffin bullshit. Both movies are ugly as dogshit.

>>212734068 (OP)
You have an incredible book but as usual they cut off more then 2/3ds of it and then replace and interpret rest like they wish to.

I was memeing. There's no fucking way that scene is going in.
>"I presume you know how dangerous that was," Paul said. He took his time reading the reactions on her face and body: the flush of her exertions coloring her skin, the wet fullness of her lips. There was a disquieting femaleness about her that he had never considered in his sister. He found it odd that he could look at a person who was this close to him and no longer recognize her in the identity framework which had seemed so fixed and familiar.
>Stilgar continued to stare at Alia. "Sire, are you blind?" Paul turned back to his sister, a feeling of unease beginning to fill him. Of all his aides, only Stilgar dared speak to him in that tone, but even Stilgar measured the occasion by its need. "This one must have a mate!" Stilgar blurted. "There'll be trouble if she's not wed, and that soon." Alia whirled away, her face suddenly hot. How did he touch me? she wondered.
>Paul weighed Stilgar's meaning, reviewed what they had seen here and his own undeniable male reaction to his own sister. Yes -- there'd been a ruttish air about Alia, something wildly wanton. What had made her enter the practice floor in the nude?

Our local tryhard faggots would say that if people aren't talking 24/7 about a movie released over a year ago while there's hype about the sequel is le "forgotten, zero cultural impact, flopped (even if it was successful)" and the same meme npc shit

>>212734068 (OP)
The first IP adaptation that is entirely about the press tour, PR cycle. Dunc fans live for the junket promo.

>>212734068 (OP)
No, it wasn't supposed to be, because Dune is not escapist slop for manchildren or a power fantasy for kids. That it did financially as well as it did is a small miracle.

>>212734068 (OP)
I turned the first movie off half way through. Didn't hate it, but I realised it really wasn't the sort of movie I would want to watch twice and that there was no way I would retain enough information over several years to make the sequels worthwhile. I just decided to forget about it until all the movies were out and I could marathon them.

lmao this board really can't seem to get over the fact the dune movies were meteorically successful. Everyone I know adores them and they get brought up pretty often in my experience. /tv/ is totally detached from reality

>>212739755
They just wanna be the cool contrarian kids and praise Lynch's and Jodorowsky goofy shit

I can't suspend my disbelief enough for dune.

You're telling me a multi-galaxy spanning space empire can't genocide a few million people on a desert planet? Even if it took a disconcerting amount of resources and "much ethics". It's the most valuable substance in the galaxy and makes you're whole empire work.

>>212739755
I've talked to everyone and no one knows Dunc. They love Lynch's Dune and LOTR though.

>>212740200
>talked to everyone and no one knows dunc

weak bait

>>212739808
some other anon put it better than me but it takes a special kind of retardation to defend lynch's dune as superior when lynch himself was vocally critical of it and acknowledged it was probably his greatest failure and a mistake to have even tried

>villecuck strips out all the islamic overtones and greatly softens paul’s character so he is no longer as much of a sociopath which defeats the entire purpose of the series

I hang around normies a fair bit and trust me, nobody fucking remembers Dune. They are aware of stuff like Star Wars and LOTR though.

>villecuck strips out all the islamic overtones and greatly softens paul’s character so he is no longer as much of a sociopath which defeats the entire purpose of the series
1. Paul was never a sociopath, his entire arc is fundamentally that of a tragic character bound by fate and by human emotional weakness
2. The islamic overtones are pretty fucking strong lmao, you literally see Chalamet mount a rock, raise a dagger in front of a crowd of devout followers whilst screaming "LONG LIVE THE FIGHTERS" in a pseudo-arabic sounding language. The film literally ends with him leading these jubilant, arab looking warriors into a literal space jihad.
