It's good. This trailer basically shows most of the action scenes in the film. I think all that was left out was the seige of Arakeen.

No Pants posted:Oooh, yeah, there's also the part in Seven Pillars of Wisdom where Lawrence ends his description of gay sex among the Arab recruits with a line about how some of them need to be hurt physically while boning. Considering all the Lawrence (and Alexander the Great) in Paul, it's kind of interesting that it's the Harkonnens that engage in homosexuality and all the weird warrior sex pop-psych stuff. Leto II does, he's more like old grandpa Harkonnen than paul.

ElBrak posted:Ya, I liked how in the book it's pretty clear Thufir would have crippled or wiped out the Harkonnens from the inside even if Paul never did his Fremen uprising. I must've missed that, where does Thufir plot the downfall of the harkonnen? Sounds pretty Franky to me. Plans within plans, Yueh wants to kill a man. He knows it will likely be the Baron and/or Piter in the room interrogating the Duke due to being able to talk to Thufir and the Harkonnen being clowns . So the tooth comes out and Yueh poisons Piter. If Thufir never 'what if'd every single retainer I'd be surprised. So he may have had a batman contingency plan for Yueh delivering the Duke. Also, who would supply the poison to Yueh for the tooth? Thufir. Leto knew he was going to be betrayed and captured and was establishing a contingency with Thufir and using Jessica to drive the real traitor into making a mistake. Is that it? Samuel L.

Prolonged Priapism posted:Yeah on my first readthrough as a teenager Messiah was an odd turn, I don't think I'd ever encountered a sequel like it. Children felt much more conventional and more like what I'd expected (lol). I hope he has to use the voice to make them kneel. He's got to be set up for the assassination attempt in Messiah. The court won't come to his side willingly after seeing what the fremen do and extrapolating, so he takes that first step down the Golden Path and scares himself. Kinda like how paul crushed sting's corpse in lynchdune. Paul is not a hero, he's not even really human.

It takes time to grow a ghola doesn't it? Messiah is like 20 years after Dunc died. Even if the emperor knew about Hayt, it was 2 years old. So that plan was useless when he was deposed as he could no longer pay for the ghola and the BT would probably not give it to him anyway when they could gift it to the new emperor/use it themselves.

Murray Mantoinette posted:Was there a virgin Leto II vs chad Duncan meme at some point in this thread? I think there's mention that the twins just sorta vibe at the Orgy. Like, 90 year old fremen ain't loving during the spice orgy, but they will get high as balls. Also they have the other memory of their parents loving to produce them so they're totally cool with sex, but they're kids so in universe it's still crazy weird. They're also aware of the plot to breed them together and they laugh it off. It was very weird for Frank to write it though.

Leto says the worms of arrakis will have a sliver of his consciousness in them after his death. Does that mean the worms will have human other-memory? I'm not sure what he meant by that.

Yeah I thought he consciously merged the sandtrout with himself to create a symbiotic relationship. It is noted that children let the trout form 'gloves' but then they fall off for some reason.

Shageletic posted:It's kinda funny how the girl twin seemed to be more on the ball than Leto and more active, then was largely just forgotten for the rest of the books. Dune is also about how capable women get screwed over repeatedly by men existing. E: that's why Chani saying "History will call us Wives" is not meant only as an own on Irulan. It can also be Chani acknowledging that her identity will be lost to history as 'just a wife of the emperor'. Samuel L. Hacksaw fucked around with this message at 16:04 on Oct 4, 2021 |

Look, I didn't write it and I didn't remember it clearly, but I don't think it's exactly far-fetched that a woman in the dune universe knows she won't get a whole lot of agency over her legacy. Jessica was purchased.

I thought that there had been attempts to transport worms to other planets and they died but didn't release trout? I also recall a passage about how humans studied how to kill worms and basically they're like tapeworms with meters of rock-like skin. Maybe there's a step in the lifecycle that we aren't told about where the worms need to do something or go through a metamorphosis/worm heat.

Super Waffle posted:I went to see it with my wife, who hasn't read the books. She thought the baron was a snake dude like jabba the hut or something because of the long rear end dress thing he wears when he first floats up. I loved that scene, as he's rising he says something like "Arrakis is mine" and I immediately saw that scene as a trial for god emperor. I feel like knowledge of the books adds a lot of dark humor to the movie. It's weird and I chose to believe Denis did it for the meta-experience of our own foreknowledge being used to evoke feelings of prescience. Samuel L.

Orange sand is spice, The movie requires you to think about it a little because the material is too dense. A lot of the worldbuilding is in the scenery and minor interactions. Idgi, why are so many folks pretending it's a mentat-level leap of logic to go "oh, his eyes roll back in his head when he does numbers, must be a space math guy, house accountant?"
