Duncan feels nearly like an older brother and you get the sense that he’s the closest person to Paul after his parents.

This is something this movie handles way way better than the other adaptations. Having him go down fighting hand to hand instead of getting blown away by a missile is a way better way to handle that than the Lynch or Sci-Fi versions did and also fixes how like years later the Bene Tleilax were able to get enough material to make a clone in Messiah.


Bugblatter posted:

Condensing both characters would also introduce awkward plotting hurdles. Who is serving as military advisor and training Paul while Gurnac is meeting the fremen? Or visa-versa. We could have an unnamed character do the introductions, but narratively that sort of thing is better handled by a known personality, especially in film.

Fortunately the Atreides roster has this covered as there's an entire THIRD character lecturing Paul about this stuff in Thufir, and some more Stephen McKinley Henderson Thufir would have been awesome. :D

Combine all House Harkonnen into a single ginger bastard that loves knives and twinks. No, not just the Baron, Rabban, and Feyd, I mean the ENTIRE house. Even the building.

Duncan is the sexiest man ever to exist. Watching him climb a mountain causes spontaneous orgasms. Gurney is the most soulful troubadour of all time, you will instantly start weeping if he sings a sad song. Their powers can't be combined, it would just be too much.

Léa Seydoux was just announced as Margot Fenring, so I assume Count Fenring is in for the sequel, and hopefully that means we get some cool Giedi Prime scenes too

I need two things from the Fenrings:
1) Them casually plotting horrible deeds over afternoon tea whilst having a merry old time and being very much in love.
2) "My Lord, I cannot."

Anything extra is just gravy.

Hype that we might actually get the party scene finally. It's mostly internal but some great Baron action. When the party proper starts and Fenrig says to him that "the other great houses wait for you to lead them" or whatever you can even have the Baron say a lot of that stuff to Fenrig out loud too. This movie's Thufir was amazing too so I hope we get some more of him.

This is an insanely minor nitpick and is really just for fun, Dune is amazing. But like.. they were just going to off Jessica right there, and then drag her body however many miles to extract the water? Seems like a waste of energy when conservation is everything and they could get her to go their under her own volition instead of using precious calories of 4 other people to carry her.

But seriously though, it ruined the whole movie.

I kind of agree but I can't really blame the movie, it's one of the dumber scenes in the book. If anything they made a few subtle tweaks to make it a little less dumb in adaptation

If she fights more than the same weight in sandbags, i.e. at all, you'd lose calories net. You're assuming she gets told to walk and she just does.

But I like to imagine that they had a little silly straw as a travel option for getting water.

Exploration is ill-advised.
I don't think it's necessarily even subtext in any of the books even that the Fremen's attitude to water conservation is as much or more about principle than practical concerns or cold hard math, even if the latter is how it started. Hell, even makes sense given how the Fremen are able to function as a society. Kinda the whole point is that they are people, who act on emotional and personal reasoning, not beep boop machine logic, and that is literally the entire reason Paul is able to do anything at all.
