Dune itself is an acid trip. Their version of the God Emperor is literally a big penis worm thing. At least 40K’s version is a rotting corpse with a broken psyche.
Oh trust me the Dune books are just as much of an acid trip as the 80's movie. The new films are incredibly tame compared to the actual source material
@@darthkoo5000 Dune may have taken from real-world elements such as desert ecology or Middle Eastern sociopolitical relations, but it never outright stole from previously established fictional properties. There's a fine line between inspiration and plagiarism.
Seriously? _That's_ what you oversensitive weebs are so assmad about?? How the hell does _that_ count as insulting Akira Toriyama's death?? "Anime is gay" is Crisp Rat's oldest running gag, it's not a personal attack on your entire culture or whatever. I'm in mourning over Toriyama-san and the irreversible impact he's had on pop culture as a whole just as much as you guys, but seriously, touch grass. You're a fucking embarrassment.

Oh my god! I can’t believe he got on the worm, he is clearly the chosen one! Less than 30 minutes later. We see an entire village worth of people on the backs of about 5 worms!!!
You obviously didn't pay any attention. The whole point of Paul riding the worm was that it's a practice that the Fremen usually prepare for in childhood and master once they're about 12 or so, but Paul got it perfect on his first try, on the biggest worm the Fremen had ever seen. This exact thing was foretold in their prophecy of the Lisan Al-Gaib, which is why Stilgar praised Paul as such.
@@arkking552 We already saw plenty of worm size comparisons in Part 1. The worm that chased Paul and Jessica in the open desert was significantly smaller than the worm that swallowed the spice harvester earlier in the film. Again, it's a very simple matter of paying attention. The movie has no obligation to spoon-feed you anything.
It's not even just the movies. Even the original book is a chore to get through. Thank God this story inspired so many future sci-fi writers, because some of them would go on to write something significantly less goofy. Or at least more entertainingly goofy (lookin' at you, Lucas, you hack-fraud)
You definitely need to watch Dune Part One first in order to understand everything going on. But yes, absolutely go watch Dune. It's nothing short of a science fiction masterpiece. It makes Star Wars look like child's play in comparison, especially considering the fact that the original book of Dune was published in 1965, 12 years before Star Wars premiered in theaters.
Actually, it's the exact opposite. Avatar can easily be interpreted as following the white savior trope, while Dune is, and always has been, a deliberate deconstruction of the white savior trope. Also, the original book was published in 1965, a whole 12 years before Star Wars.
@@CatMaster90001 I loved how this film also deconstructed the whole "Chosen One" prophecy trope by showcasing how that would create a ton of fanatics, and how it would change said Chosen One for the worse.
@@kennethclark4599 Glad you did! I think you'd really enjoy this film's potential sequel, Dune: Messiah, if WB decides to greenlight it. It takes place years ahead into the future, where Paul is the tyrannical ruler of the known universe, leading the Fremen in a genocidal holy war against all the remaining Houses of the Imperium.
@@CatMaster90001 Considering Chani didn't join Paul as she did in the book, is it a possibility that she'll be one of the conspirators attempting to bring Paul down?
@@kennethclark4599 Good question! She might as well be, but it's currently hard to tell at this point. I'll be honest, I still have yet to read Dune: Messiah myself, I've only heard the general premise by word of mouth. But hey, at least I won't procrastinate on reading it up until the last minute before its respective movie comes out this time around. 😅
Dune for the longest time was a black listed project in Hollywood and no film maker would touch it, for Dune was a career ending path, surprised to see Gen Z even giving a shit about this (nobody has probably even read the book anyway)!
You got two things dead wrong there, pal... 1. Anyone who knows anything about Dune has either read the book at least once, or knows exactly how it goes down regardless. It's one of the greatest science fiction stories of all time for a very good reason. 2. It's not that no filmmaker wanted to make it, that's actually the farthest thing from the truth, considering just how passionately dedicated Alejandro Jodorowsky was in trying to get his own Dune movie made in 1975. The problem was that Dune was once far too ambitious a project for major Hollywood studios to be brave enough to finance. They not only rejected Jodorowsky's proposal, but to add insult to injury, they doubled their cowardice and watered down several of his ideas in the 1984 David Lynch movie, which ended up so bad that Lynch himself still hates it to this day. Not only that, but several of Jodorowsky's ideas and intended crew members ended up branching out to many other highly influential films in cinematic history, including, but not limited to, The Terminator, Blade Runner, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Star Wars (most obviously), and most influential of all, Alien, which featured H.R. Giger and Dan O'Bannon as visual designer and screenwriter respectively, both of which Jodorowsky hand-picked for his unmade Dune movie. That's just scratching the surface. There's so much more about Dune's cultural history that you don't know. So don't talk about it as if you do.
No, the 1984 version is _not_ closer to the book. It rushes through all the major plot points, leaves out all the most crucial character development, robs the Fremen of any and all agency, and worst of all, plays Paul as an unironically heroic savior figure, the exact opposite of what he's supposed to be in the book. Even David Lynch himself hates the '84 movie, as he was practically forced to make it as shitty as it was by the studio, and to add insult to injury, he didn't even get final cut. The '84 movie is a total failure, except in the aesthetic department.
FFs its true...I hate the whole dune franchise and I was mortified that they began remaking those crap flicks. Ironically, I cant even tell which versions are worse...RIP to the film industry these last few years.
