FBS posted:the ending of Children is cool Yeah I'm a little bummed because no franchise is every going to go that far but I'm super down for superman Leto wrecking sietches, punching open doors, doing ceiling jumps and drinking poison for the lol. I'd S a D to see that on the big screen. I'd S YOUR D. I'd S every D in this room but it'll never come to fruition.

Galewolf posted:Not to start a failson discussion but I actually read all three house books and the Butlerian Jihad ones with the naivete of a reader who just wanted a bit more of Dune. I read all of those too. It felt like an endurance exercise just to read all of the lore. Like trying to complete a game you loved to 100% but there is nothing left enjoyable about it after 30%. There was usually one cool, interesting arc surrounded by boring, insane, random ones. Dune novels always cycle through the arcs and I found my speed-reading (skimming) to get back to that one arc I was digging. Noise to signal ratio, off the charts.

skasion posted:His mom tells him there’s a secret password to shut off Feyd’s muscles and he’s like “I don’t want to use that”. Then when Feyd is about to stab him to death, he’s like “I won’t say it!” And Feyd just stands there with no idea what he’s talking about and eats a shank regardless. It's kinda funny if you think about it because he used his voice anyway to defeat Feyd.

Both combatants brought cheating devices into that fight. I'm kinda glad the book just glossed over it and made the battle interesting.

I really appreciate what Dave Bautista brought to the role, he really didn't afford himself the slightest dignity. It was also ultra lol when he landed to try and face the Fremen and got a quick taste of how little they're loving around.

Mister Speaker posted:Another question for more well-read dunebros: To what extent is Jessica's Harkonnen heritage known? It's a pretty big revelation to Paul in the new film, but in pt 1 the Baron calls (a very paralyzed) Leto "cousin" and it got me thinking about who actually knew Jessica was Harkonnen. Well a guy dating your daughter doesn't make you two cousins, I assume it was a really old lineage. As per who knows, I don't recall exactly in the books but it doesn't really show up to my memory until it comes roaring back that the Baron's memory is possessing Alia.

I hadn't really thought about it but "Your concubine is dead" is a weird flex given the revelation in the second film that the Baron knew that was his daughter.

Panfilo posted:Was that floating Dialysis Pod attached to the Baron due to Leto gassing him in part 1? We saw him take an oil bath presumably to recover his injuries, but he takes another one in part 2 and I wonder if his recovery is just really lengthy. I posed this question in the "other" Dune thread in CD and the consensus seems to be yes, Leto's final gently caress you turned him into a permanent birthday-clown. I didn't see it until a ton of re-watches but you can actually see when the emperor makes a little hand gesture to the Sardaukar to command that the balloons are now to be released to the ceiling and get stuck by a vent.

Monica Bellucci posted:It's not necessary though. Machines do the space folding, prescience just lets you pick the path that doesn't slam you into a planet or cosmic brick wall, most of the time. If I recall correctly they're all 100% dependent on a single air-traffic controller that used to be a human woman. The guild is pretty lucky that a benevolent super-being with no value for incentives just keeps the whole operation afloat in her idle time.

I am extremely serious that one of the most satisfying gently caress Yous in science fiction was properly adapted to the big screen when the completely eradicated Atreides house were seen with flags atop terrifying leviathans the size of skyscrapers and being ridden in like horses. soooo gooooood

kalel posted:if you want to talk about the artistry of adaptation, fetus alia's integration into the story is pretty seamless. like if your starting parameter is "let's compress the timeline of dune's second half" then I challenge anyone to come up with a more elegant solution without eliminating her character entirely. I was skeptical as anyone about adult vision Alia being dropped into the story but that beach scene after Paul drinks the water is pure badassery.

In the cinematic universe you can also be upgraded to just a "darling" and then Feyd kills subordinates at random so your goth slim-toothed rear end gets a meal. NGL those ladies were enjoying themselves. Being a spider sounds worse. The Baron just couldn't compromise in the slightest.

I thought the Helen Mohiam character was funny. She had a nearly Trumpian level of commitment to every disaster. "Maybe Paul is still alive, don't tell the emperor" "Sure I wiped out the Atreides bloodline and I was right to do it" "Your father loses the throne either way" "We don't take a side, we plan" In the books, Paul's sister has her killed. Final words probably, "I'm still the puppetmas... ACK" Scags McDouglas fucked around with this message at 22:20 on Apr 12, 2024 |

ddiddles posted:Was the main villain supposed to be laughably inept in the books, he's all hyped up, kills two drugged prisoners, and almost gets owned by a guy whos probably been in that cell for a long time. The protagonist family is well defined. The antagonist roles are shared by a sea of people. Mostly Harkonnen, Corrino and Bene Gesserit. The movie added suspense to the last fight but in the books the Baron is killed by a little kid, Paul doesn't take a scratch when he kills Feyd, Rabban is killed "off screen", and the Emperor is forced quickly into total submission. Which is to say, Feyd was not a main antagonist.
