Wouldn't like, every major character have Eyes of Ibad? I forget, but do Bene Gesserit have them? A very large proportion of the main cast of the series should just have super blue eyes, yes? I can see how that would get really, really silly and annoying, which is why it would probably be best if they didn't make them literally glow in this movie. Glowing is probably the best way to convey magic special eyes in film, though. Why the gently caress didn't the Navigator have the Eyes in the movie? He's doing more spice than anyone else.

Most of the off-Arrakis nobility, guild members and other spice users have permanent contacts which mask the blue eyes. The movie has a serious problem because deep blue eyeballs with no discerning features are really hard to film. I suppose that was one of the drivers to make the eyes glow not only in pre-cgi era Lynch Dune but also in the series. In most interior scenes such eyes would look almost black.

The nobility/BG don’t have the eyes of Ibad. Only the navigators and the Fremen do. You need to be basically saturated with spice for years for it to happen. Just taking it on the reg isn’t enough.

The Corrino prince has blue eyes and contacts to hide them in CoD.

That’s a fair point, but I still don’t think they are general among the nobility. Piter has them, but the Baron complains that Piter costs him a fortune in spice anyway. Paul reports his visions of Chani’s eyes to Mohiam without any sense that this is a normal thing, and he doesn’t know what causes the Fremen to have blue eyes until Yueh explains it’s the spice. Herbert might have changed his mind along the way, but I think it is clear that the blue eyes are a Fremen thing, and the navigators mask them so as not to weird people out. If everyone rich had it, it probably wouldn’t be worth hiding.

Anyway, back to subject at hand. It follows that Fremen stool would be blue as well.

The eyes of Ibad signify addiction to spice, and spice is expensive. Even Nobility would find it difficult to consume enough to get the eyes. It is commented that Piter de Vries has the eyes, and it showed how expensive he was, to the house that exclusively mines the spice.

Everyone who has spice is addicted, and it is written that alot of people have slight blue tint, but the full blue within blue ibad comes from saturation in spice.

What are the effects of spice if you aren’t going whole hog with it navigator style? Just really kicks flavour up a notch? (BAM!) Prescience is only if you are practically swimming in the stuff so it can’t be that.. weird rear end dreams maybe? I am sure the book mentions I just forget.

Nah, it adds “years—decades for some”. Nobody in the books seems to live like, way over 100. Except Leto II which is uh, slightly different Incidentally while looking that up I found that Mohiam has the blue eyes by the time of Messiah. Maybe she was wearing contacts during the first book or she was less addicted then, idk. e: also in Children, Jessica thinks to herself that BG prana bindu powers could in theory let you live for thousands of years, but the BGs deliberately don’t do this because they’re scared that if they all became functionally immortal everyone would freak out and massacre them. skasion fucked around with this message at 22:31 on May 29, 2019 |

"In the early days of the Fremen, from the time of the Wandering, it is said that Naibs buried their turds in the sand, like a Laza Tiger haha!" He placed his hand to his forehead and spat upon the ground. "May Shai Hulud cleanse their passing. We have evolved since then, Paul." Stilgar took another bite of a brown cake from his catch pocket. Paul watched him chew, the process reminding his other memories of an ancient granola bar or a jerky. It would almost seem natural, if the horror of the source had not dawned on him. Suddenly the cycle's perfection vibrated in his precience and his awareness was illuminated. "I see the truth of it." kiimo fucked around with this message at 20:22 on May 29, 2019 |

A weird cry sounded from the road outside the house. It was repeated: ‘Poo-Poo PooP! Poo-Poo PooP!’ Then: ‘Ikhut-eigh! Ikhut-eigh!’ And again: ‘Poo-Poo PooP!’ ‘What is that?’ Jessica asked. ‘I heard it several times as we drove through the streets this morning.’ ‘Only a dietary fiber-seller, my Lady. But you’ve no need to interest yourself in such as they. The warehouse here holds fifty thousand pounds and it’s always kept full.’

Friends, it doesn't take the prescience of Spice to know that within a year, we're going to be faced with masses of people complaining that these so-called "sand worms" are blatantly plagiarised from Star Wars' highly original sarlac pit monster. Furthermore, the Bene Gesserit are clearly a women-only version of the Jedi order, pandering to the SJW crowd that continues to stomp on our most beloved memories. It's gonna suuuuuck
