Although I will say Lynch's Caladan really sucks. The baroque is overboard there and Caladan shouldn't be so oppressive and dark.

You know.. Dune just doesn't lend itself , to me, to merch. It's a very cerebral story, and....I don't know IM talking out my rear end
it just seems loving wrong to mass market Dune. Like, it betrays the very meaning of the stories.

The Dune Encyclopedia is cool, and the books of maps and tech details is cool, but to have it be something as banal and mundane as a t-shirt or ....a FUNKOPOP is just upsetting.




But, Im cool with the existence of the RTS games. Eh, I don't know. Maybe im just being cranky and old and "drat KIDS"

I’m a big sucker for merch (mostly toys) and Dune is my favorite thing but agreed. It would just be...inappropriate to see a few dozen Dune figures sandwiched between the Marvel Legends and WWE figures at the local target.

Edit: also I’ve been toying with the idea of a Dune tattoo for my 40th birthday but I don’t want some basic bitch obvious stuff like the litany against fear or a sand worm. How do you visually represent “hero worship is a major human flaw that should be excised ASAP and also thopters are cool”?

Look Closer

This just reminded me of why I don't like this movie. It was the fault of the times, studios didn't trust their audiences to be bothered to watch anything that required thinking and hidden information. Almost every adaptation of the 70's and 80's suffered from this.

The spice is NOT magical. It enhances perceptive and logical processes, with training. RM Mohiam should not be teleprojecting into the throne room. The guild should not suspect Paul to the exclusion of others. They could know the family is involved in the future trouble but only because their prescience is occluded. They would not know why.

AS to the set, I agree it is too baroque. Shaddam in particular was known to be quite austere, wearing no robes, just a Sardukar uniform of approximately colonel rank.

When I was a kid I had the Sting Feyd toy figure. My brother got Rabban. Feyd came with the milking cat which rules but was pretty confusing considering I didn’t watch the movie until a few years later.

Honestly most movie game tie-ins would be better off if they just took a well-regarded game and did a reskin.

a few years back, I got into this Final Fantasy 1 based graphical MUDD that used the ruleset from the Final Fantasy 1 Table Top RPG D&D like game.


It was kind of interesting, but dude only got as far as the Volcano, I believe before he got bored, and abandoned it to make a ...Dragonball Z Graphical MUDD.

Back in the day that's exactly what they used to do (and sometimes still do) and it generally works out better than most.

I don't see why you couldn't sell Dune merch, though it depends on how exactly they market the film. Funko Pops are a given for literally everything they can license, and probably action figures. And half of you would totally buy a Stillsuit halloween costume.

I'm pretty sure I played them, but I was on a 300 baud dialup from Denmark which had cost per minute for dialing anywhere, so it was mostly used for email - I remember doing a Dune Play By Email thing, but I have no real memories of how the gently caress it worked.
