Hear me out, imagine if someone kept calling Kincade 'art', and they just loved the poo poo out of it and couldn't understand why anyone else didn't. Now sure, everyone's entitled to their opinion, but it's just confusing when enough people start getting behind the lukewarm koolaid that you can't see an ounce of talent, message, or depth in. If I tell someone Asimov is facile, even if they love him, they may agree that hey yeah his characters aren't that strong so they'd see where I was coming from (plot twist, Asimov is great). But the level of "OH MY GOD HE'S THE GREATEST EVER NOW LET ME TELL YOU WHY YOU ARE WRONG. HERE IT IS YOU ARE WRONG. THAT'S ALL I GOT" I notice in Villeneuve fans is straight up weird.

Just because something is pandering to a crowd you may identify with doesn't mean it isn't pandering. Personally I find it extremely pandering and disjointed, not to mention facile. Now that could certainly be because I have awful taste or something, but that's where I'm coming from. So essentially him making a Dune movie after having to suffer through the awful prequels etc just feels like insult on injury. Not that other people can't like it, I was just wondering if I was the only one who thought differently, because it's starting to feel bizarre.

On the topic of doing PDK stories justice, Screamers was pretty solid and also had robocop. Definitely lacked the important cold war paranoia throughline though.

Dune, Messiah, and Children were planned as a single story according to Frank, and while there are hints of the point that Frank was trying to make in the first book, they aren't as explicit as they are in the latter books.

I thought heretics was when things started getting really explicit.

Why did the Harko soldiers keep offering Rabban advice, when it invariably resulted in him snapping their necks? Is the officer-murder a recent thing caused by the stress of the war, and he'd been an okay boss til then?
Also the new "Worst non-harem-related Dune Job" Award goes to the harkonnen navigator who gets lenses glued to his face, or the harkonnen monks (?) who have to keep chanting (?) to make their war-room hologram map work (?)
