Just within the movie itself, there's clearly a missing segment early where Paul is told to trek alone across a chunk of desert and back, then Chani joins him and gives some survival tips, and then they're both just taking part in a raid.. That can't have been how it was scripted.

There's another one where Chani suddenly shows up in an ornithopter out of nowhere with no explanation how she got it.

I feel like we need to appreciate that Sony is basically doing the Dark Universe gambit and actually releasing tons of terrible, terrible movies of Z list spiderman movies. Like Universal made like 2 movies and Sony is making at least 5 of these increasingly terrible turds that are almost singlehandedly bringing the comic book movie fad to its long hoped for conclusion.

Honestly, I wonder if this might legitimately be their strategy. Basically pulling the "kamikaze product" strat that will make their Spiderman-villains-without-Spiderman Tab Clear to Marvel's Crystal Pepsi. Basically poisoning the entire live-action superhero genre (and the Marvel name) so that the MCU won't be able to recover from its current slump and return to the juggernaut it once was.

Any time you have thoughts like this you just need to take a deep breath and remember a few key facts:

Amy Pascal is still in charge at Sony.
Kathleen Kennedy is still the boss of star wars.
Elon Musk is the second (lol) richest person alive and technically in charge of 5 companies. One of which send rockets to space.
Donald Trump was president of the USA.

There is no 8 dimensional chess master plan unfolding slowly and in meticulous detail.

The dumbest motherfuckers alive are running things and it's only getting dumber.

True, but I appreciated the choice to veer away from a staple epic movie trope and just get the ball rolling, I think it contributed to the Fury Road-esque feeling of the movie being on rails and driving toward a climax. The worm riding scene does the same cathartic job as showing Paul coming back from the desert and is more interesting

It's cute to watch someone that's been given everything pout about how out of touch she is. The general public is dumb as poo poo, can't tell anything and don't give a gently caress about where anything comes from at all. She didn't have to make a super hero movie for Sony. That's her choice.

Obviously, when she signed onto "Untitled Spider-Man Villain Project #7", she thought it was going to be a genuine creative expression from an artist who had something they wanted to share with the world.
