Feyd's daggers were the coolest weapons in the films

The movies were so incredibly shit. They were so nondescript you could barely figure out they were going for brutalism. They changed the characters completely. Excised the key elements of the plot. I have my own Jessica Ferguson cut that I goon to and that's it.

wut

When growls cut the rope i had ai change it to give me your cock, stroke it etc

>>213477481 (OP)
the films are good but they were never gonna have a lasting cultural impact like LOTR because times have changed and there is a new thing every week. also dune didnt emphasize humanity nearly as much.

>>213480240
Dune is all about humanity but that autistic frog director doesn't know how to direct people. He lucked out having all his early hits be about robots and emotionless people.

>>213480181
is this a joke?

>>213480640
How new are you?

>>213480640
i also have her going ass to ass with kristen stewart

>>213480240
Dune has been incredibly culturally impactful. Sorry you’re an isolated incel spouting for the hundredth time on a Dune thread that it had no impact

>>213480678
not new enough apparently

>>213480680
she's not even in dune

If knife duels were such a big part of warfare, the knives would have handguards.

>>213480683
In what ways? List some.

>>213480740
The Harkonnen arena was a ceremonial display. The crysknifes are made from worm teeth. The movie leaves out the various more realistic swords and daggers for dumb mall ninja tanto SPACE KNIFES.

>>213480181
Upload video?

>>213480740
>handguards
why?

leave it to villeneuve to take something fantastical and make it seem mundane

everything about the aesthetic design of these films was boring

>>213480849
to guard the hand

>>213480868
It's because they went for brutalism but since they're also globohomo they couldn't really commit to anything.

>>213480849
to guard your hands dumbfuck

>>213480817
the fremen can probably figure out how to attach a handguard to a worm tooth

>>213480758
it’s culturally impacted my friends and family and I hear about it every month, not even including 4chan where there’s a thread almost daily

>>213480933

>>213480740
The knives used by Fremen are ritual weapons. They're not meant to be functional in a war, they're for ceremonial duels. They always carry their crysknife in case they are challenged.

>>213480940
>Source: my anecdote

>>213480501
the movie 'prisoners' disproves the premise of your post

>>213480978
>They're not meant to be functional in a war
everyone in the movie is fighting with knives in a war, or did you not watch it

>>213481000
>autistic emotionless robo-cop tracks down killer, who is also autistic and emotionless
Hrm....

>>213480979
You made the claim first.
Oh enlighten us mentat, what are the objective criteria you have used to claim it’s not culturally impactful?

>>213480889
>>213480901
>guarding your hand in a fight
you're supposed to be attacking

>>213481045
Discussions about it get no traction and usually devolve to "this is boring" or "the book was better."

>>213481069
so 4chan is your source. Can you estimate for us now how many times you’ve posted in these threads saying it had no cultural impact? Dune threads are here virtually every day so saying there’s no discussion is dishonest

>>213481127
Okay, I'm done trying to reason with you because you can't even read and comprehend what I'm telling you to begin with. "Discussions about it get no traction" is what I just said. You interpreted that as "saying there's no discussion." Have a nice day, retard.

>>213481175
You’re the one that criticized anecdotes and now you’re saying you based your claim off 4chan threads (and I don’t even agree with your perception that Dume threads get no traction). Please take a moment to connect the dots

>>213477481 (OP)
>nobody uses spears or any other "old" melee weapons
>Nobody just puts chainmail under their shields
bravo herbert...

>>213481377
they use spears in Dunc 1

The DUNC movies are great and faithful to FH, I'm sure Messiah is gonna be too. This thread is dogshit with dogshit entitled subpar opinions crying about their little pet peeve nobody gives a fuck about.

>>213481533
no alia, chani a nigress, kynes a nigress, no fenring

faithful my ass, you haven't even read the books faggot

>>213481867
ok pet peeve faggot we get it, time constraints of a cinematic adaption + the usual DEI (which was kept to a bare minimum on those pieces for current year) got unto you. So as the usual retard that you and your tv e-buttbuddies are, you miss the forest from the tree again. Notice how I said faithful to FH and not something else.

Don't waste your time replying to me sand muffin.

>>213481069
That's most threads on here. Only culture war current events threads get any motion.

>>213482056
You're glazing one of the most soulless possible adaptations of Dune there could be. Honestly pathetic. Eat shit faggot.

>>213482056
>DEI (which was kept to a bare minimum

Who cares if you read the book when you didn't understand its bigger ideas and themes.

-reddit space-

Go cry in your self-tailored mental desert and keep hate-glazing yourself in there

>>213481009
Its just another thing Villain Boo got wrong. Although the details in the book are scant, Fremen fight with lances (spears) and an assortment of projectile or pellet weapons. Knifes are side arm or for duels.

>>213477481 (OP)
They should have used Khyber style knives.

>>213482361
Paul literally state she will come around. She serves as a anchor point for the audience to understand that the road Paul took will have negative consequences. It actually adds to her character and it subtracts nothing from the story. I hate Zendaya too by the way but she did convey the emotions she needed per the scene. If you wanna save the white race so much stop being a lazy doomer faggot on 4chan then.

Smart people discuss ideas - Dune is here
Average people discuss events
Dumb people discuss people - You are here

Fuck this thread and your nigger pet peeves. This is why all Dune discussion suck.

>>213482714
I'm discussing characters in a story which are ideas, not people.

well now you can't even hold the dagger, what now?

>>213482739
Well do your theme research then because outside kynes, the miscast of chani/the emperor and the voluntary omission of some subplot to fit in a cinema blockbuster all the most important parts of Dune are in there. The time change to have alia in the womb is still lore friendly too.

Its the best Dune adaption we are ever gonna get in current year and instead of celebrating all the thing these movies accomplished and did right, no, I have to read the same fucking faggotry of string buzzwords ad infinite

>>213482935
you really claim to have read the book and think the emperor was a miscast?
chang I understand since she got changed but the emperor fits, it’s usually only non book readers who think the emperor was supposed to have more gravitas

>>213482935
You're just wrong, dude. The Baron doesn't behave like or represent the same things as the real Baron from the books at all. Duke Leto is a space filler in the first film. The Harkonnens are dumbass movie monsters that are evil for the sake of being evil to their own detriment. I could go on and on and on about how every fucking character doesn't behave the way a human being behaves.

>>213482986
Emperor is a 70 yo suppose to look like a 35 yo dude

>>213483016
I agree that they are portrayed mostly as the big brutal dark baddies still at the end of the second movie. But only because they didn't have enough screentime to push their own lore. I think its universally agree that those films would've been better if they were longer but heh, business and contracts.

>>213483158
what exactly were you hoping for with the emperor? dumb deaging tech? just casting a young dude and calling him old or giving him old makeup? you’re not even criticizing the acting or the writing just the appearance

>>213483348
Not that anon, but I expected the emperor to be....the way he was described. Haughty and overconfident. Toppling an extremely powerful yet shortsighted man is an accomplishment. Beating a decrepit old guy isn't impressive. That's basic storytelling.

>>213483348
Any random old man but Christopher Walken that stick out like a sore thumb. They had to make him a old man in the movie to represent "the old empire" otherwise it would've been confusing for the audience.

Making something fantastical seem mundane is literally the point of most sci-fi/fantasy. If it doesn't seem mundane then the creator did a shit job at worldbuilding

'ate the miniseries (it's ok at times)
simple as

>>213480240
lmao lotr has no more cultural impact anymore

>>213482361
If you switched Young's version of Chani for Zendaya's then DUNC would've been a masterpiece. As is it's still a great movie with one shitty character

>>213483601
Exactly. So much camera shots are at eye level to feels more grounded intentionally. Like the backshot of Paul riding the worm or most fight scenes

>>213483615
The children of dune miniseries was pretty good, babby mcavoy carries the show.
The dune miniseries is just so cheap, and paul looks like they went with stephen dwarf at home.
