Dune Part Two Trailer #2 Explained (no spoilers) 

Please do a “Real Stannis Baratheon” video in the future!! It’s about high time he needs a detailed analysis to also help clear up misconceptions thanks to the TV adaptation!

seeing this upload actually just made my day, thank you m'lord🙏

super excited !! would also love a “real arya/sansa stark”

@@mercedesgazda1635yes! Either! Preferably Sansa

They're probably canceling that show eh? Since HBO cancelled their deal with George RR Martin

"Hopefully, other scenes will rizz up Shadam's drip."

It would have been more accurate to say "space mohammad" but it is what it is xD the youtuber at least seemed to have read dune

Yes, I love this line 👍

But this Space Jesus, kicks ace

Don’t make fun of prophets

Thanks! I try to let people form their own opinions. Also, I can't judge a movie I haven't seen lol.

@@AltShiftXthis “lol” reminds me of a certain Schwift, but you couldn’t be the same person. Facts just don’t add up

he's incredibly judgmental regarding ASOIAF content, he's been complaining his book headcanon wasn't applied to the show since 2016 lmao

​@@Ryuk45ehh, he was more criticising the quality of the writing and the direction they went in

​@@Ryuk45 so incredibly judgmental means pointing out things that doesnt fit the theme of the story now? shift did not even criticize the show much in his main channel

Noble dynasties have the title for unmarried consorts. That sets the tone of the story.

@@Pierrespere-vm5of I detect hostility. Jessica was a Bene Geserrit Sister. Recruited, trained and tasked to birth a daughter for the Sisterhood. She betrayed everything dear to her; up to that point. All for the love of a singular man. This man happened to be a Duke and subsequently, both product and contributor to this breeding project. Lady Jessica was neither pathetic or simple minded. She stepped into it with eyes wide open. All for him.

​​​@@Pierrespere-vm5ofLady Jessica is a Bene Gesserit. She is anything but pathetic. She can bend the will of just about anyone with her voice and is capable of altering her entire physiology down to being able to adapt her body to any poison and even determining the sex of her child. If anything, she is not serville to the system. She IS the system and she chose to shatter the whole thing by giving birth to the Kwazitz Haderach. All you see is the word "concubine" and immediately assume a pathetic servile position. Both thematically to the story of Dune and historically that is not the case. Go read a book and learn some history before you cast judgment like an uncultured brute

⁠@@Pierrespere-vm5ofwell Jessica does fight the system and does it to a greater extent than anyone else and births and raises the one person who took the system and tossed it into the bin. By your description she should be admirable. Her choice to birth Paul is undoubtedly the greatest act of defiance against the system the dune novels present. It wasn’t Leto who subjugated her and made her into a concubine. It was the bene gessiret and the landstraaat’s politics. Otherwise Leto would’ve married her and says so directly but Leto is more of a slave to the system as you describe.

@@Pierrespere-vm5of you are all over this comment section ranting goofily about concubines lol. Chill out.

Ehh do u really think it’s that important considering they’re super likely to skip over harah and the kids and they kinda already deviated (in a great way imo) Jamis’s impact by showing who he could have been to Paul through dreams/visions, I just don’t think I see them making time for it

They are not going to include it my friend

​@@joshuawilliams2427 Harah is the one character that I would have no problem with omitting. It's a lot easier to convey general cultural mores quickly with images, and Villeneuve has definitely proven that he can pack in tons of meaningful information in one shot. Paul's obligation to Jamis' family might require too much time to flesh out in one scene. Directly seeing exactly what happens to a body on Dune is way more important, IMO. We need to see faces in a movie, so it's probably worthwhile to balance out people walking around unmasked like total noobs with a reminder of exactly how precious moisture is there. I think it's worth the render time.

@@amarissimus29 once again like ehh ur probably right, I just don’t see it happening personally

@@amarissimus29 either way, I am a friend of jamis

No. When comes finaly the WOKE-TRANS-GENDER-BLM-LBTQRXYZ%&/§$-DRAG-QUEEN-Leto?

hard disagree, I f**king despised the first movie and am quite sure I'll feel similarly about the second. well, I despised it by way of applying high standards proportional to the budget and hype. as a finished product with no context, it's not terrible, just very mediocre. 5.5/10. in fact, I would score rings of power higher at a 6 or 6.5 because while it doesn't have a few standout characteristics of artistic achievement like dune does, ROP is a more functionally watchable product that delivers at least a low level of entertainment and engagement. dune 21 has garbage writing and pacing that manages to a baffling degree to feel like nothing is happening when on paper there actually is major plot going on. there is not a single engaging character in a plot that simultaneously seems to be simple and also is quite incomprehensible to viewers who don't already know it because the movie to an extraordinarily high degree arrogantly skips central plot and character debelopment, but then I also really did not care enough to try to understand because it was all so vapid. acting performances from practically all actors are very noticeably inferior compared to how they normally act. it has barely passable uninteresting drama-noise-music (typical for zimmer without williams, zimmer can't write melodies). the movie succeeds at visuals and atmosphere - although there it is a flagrantly derivative mixture of star wars and lawrence of arabia, which are both better, despite star wars not being all that great either. yes, I know that star wars is derivative of the dune books, but this dune movie is derivative of star wars movies. it just tries to hide it by leaning into being extremely boring so hard that it becomes a sort of unique defining characteristic among blockbusters, because it's an unreasonable choice that nobody else makes. cloud atlas might have had a similar oh-god-just-let-it-end vibe, but I don't think it was so thoroughly empty.

This is so true

AltSchwiftX is the hero we deserve.

@@rinmathews9337don’t say that name around here

​@@rinmathews9337I was gonna say the same. I relate to schwift more, being a drunk myself

Stop using that line just to say "I like Alt Shift X"

Indeed. Film is visual, and simply telling everything about him is boring, so showing how he is as a character both in action and his physique gets that message out much quicker.

Great point. The Villeneuve movies do this a lot - favoring thematic clarity over strict accuracy. Like in the first movie the Sardaukar are in their white uniforms the whole time even though diagetically, they're supposed to be disguised as Harkonenn troops. It takes advantage of the fact that film is a visual medium to subliminally communicate how different they are and also how alien they are to the environment of Arrakis.

That's the thing, he wasn't a paper tiger, he could glass whole worlds. It's just that he, like everyone, were utterly dependent on the Spacing Guild and the Navigators were utterly dependent on Spice production, so that when Paul highjacked the system and held the Guild hostage everyone was automatically held hostage too.

I read it is a statement on Biden being weak and frail, and how that invites danger.

Yep, everything not taking time away from the exposition needed for the elements necessary to understand the plot at all is the right decision, even if super-fans might be pissed.

It definitely feels more unnerving to be in a serene place helps to focus on the people and the hidden tensions.

Waiting 😅

It will be worth the wait 😀 @@wxlsh.berry_

I like your analogy better.

I'm also adding this to my head cannon lol. It's actually very fitting

Yes, it's very clear the inspiration for many of the Harkonnen vehicles (miners for example) are that of ticks. I believe the DP (greg fraiser) even says so in an interview.

*Drax

@@larrycolon7320 admit it, the thought of Jax from Mortal Kombat fighting Thanos I'd too good to be true...

Gurney's got a score to settle, he gonna carve that Beast up

Hope you watched the movie

Well, they're not Arab "roots" they're commentaries on Arab fanaticism and how external leaders take advantage of them but lose control. Sort of like how the Soviets backed Baathists and the West backed oil monarchies. In the end the Arabs are fanatical and can cause death and destruction if enabled. That's what Frank Herbert predicted, it somewhat came true, and people want to erase it because it can be considered islamophobic, lol.

I guess the more overtly middle eastern references were deemed too risky. I'd like to know how people from these countries feel about the book.

Its kinda a shame but let's be honest.... would you keep overt Islamic elements in a piece of media you're making if you know that some parts of Islam have a very long and VERY vicious history of reactions to said media depicting. I know I wouldn't risk that.

This is exactly how I feel about it!!!

I'm honestly happy many of those elements were removed. The Islamic / Arabic elements were often treated as simply exotic. It would certainly come across that way in a shorter movie too.

I think it's the right choice to make a conlang. While it helped build a realistic exotic world for western readers, which I do love, it is kind of strange how they're using Islamic/Arabic/Persian words on a distant planet in a distant time. I think if he could, Frank Herbert would have preferred to do what Villeneuve is doing now, to create a new conlang inspired by those ancient languages. I think it will ultimately have the same effect, if not more convincingly. But I do agree that downplaying the historical Arab and Islamic references in Dune is unfortunate, it adds so much depth to the story. I suppose it's for marketing reasons, the risk of a backlash from offending someone has never been higher than it is now.

Bruh calling Paul a White Savior is so dumb

No, 'Avatar' took the Dune story (a native people, in the way of mining 'Unobtainium' lolol), dumbed it down (like Star Wars did, in a different way), and turned it into a real 'White Savior' narrative. If you haven't seen Avatar I recommend watching it, so you can learn the difference

My theory is it's visually showing where the true power lies. The emperor sits on the throne but his daughter wears a crown

The rich like to appear poor. Look at fashion.

I'm north African and I'm glad someone pointed this out!!

Yeah ok 😂

@@Jason-gg4lmFrank Herbert spent time in Saudi Arabia in the desert. It was major inspiration for Dune. Especially the nomadic desert cultures and peoples. Heavily inspired the fremen. Bruh they go on a jihad, all of Pauls military titles are Arabic.

absolutely. also the movies imitate lawrence of arabia.

@@misanthropicservitorofmars2116 he actually based them on Southern Africa, so you're both wrong

Agreed, he would definitely fit Shaddam’s book description better than Walkin but his performance will be wonderful nonetheless

Good idea. With red short hair, not so youngish looking but not old. Cunning, careful and cruel visage. He would even look like he is related to Sting Feyd Rauta, sort of like his line of family, gene pool contributor ancestor. Which Shadam is because of all the Benegeserit mixing.

He will do Messiah, though after that it is uncertain. He probably wants to do more than just stay on Dune for the rest of his career, but it would be nice for him to return with Children.

I'm so waiting for the new Dune video that I check every day. Why is he making us suffer like this?

@@fonzarelly3154 he mentioned the GoT video was a big project and it's over 2 hours long... this next Dune video is probably taking a long time to write and record... fwiw the movie has only been out for a few weeks.

Wish they would bring back intermissions. They’re in so many of the old epic films, and I think would make a big difference. Apparently a part of it is how many showings you can do per day/during prime viewing hours. So it’s harder to get distribution or something

Well the current version of the film is over 3 hours long, so there's that.

Book-accurate? They cut out basically everything about Yueh, dismissed Sardaukar disguises and blackwashed Liet, lol

@@Brandelwynyou can’t black wash someone who’s race isn’t mentioned

Foundation series has nothing to do with the books!

@@FadingVitals I know that they are different, i have read them all. He can go into detail about the differences and or simply focus upon the book/series.

That was such a great scene lol

The correct way of saying it

is Tyrion resemble Thanos or Drax or Aquaman?!? Which one?

Leto was gaining in popularity within the Landsraad and Shaddam was worried that he could make a claim for the throne as he has royal blood

@@priorityecko4989 I understand the motive. I said I didn't understand the trap. Why appoint Leto lord of Arrakis then kill him?

@@countdowntorevolution9986 The trap was the use of "over-whelming" force in the form of the Sardaukar hidden within the ranks of Harkonnen troops. The Leto's troops could have handled the Harkonnen but with the addition of a fighting force with a Kill/Death ratio of 5:1 mixed in, they had no chance. The Harkonnen are the emperor's trap, using them as cover for getting rid of rival under the guise of ending a Blood Feud.

It was explained a bit in Part 1, when Leto told Jessica, "I thought we had more time"...In the book Leto suspected Arrakis was a trap, but he thought he had more time to recruit the Fremen on his side...which made some commentators believe that maybe Leto really was power hungry and had his eye on Shaddam's throne....Otherwise he could have declined to rule Arrakis, stayed and ruled on Caladan, and the Emperor would not have considered him such a threat

I thought they they did stop fast attacks in the movie ??

Hollywood is ridiculous

it's not just that. In a book you can get away with certain characters being important to the story but doing very little and having having other characters just talk about them. Movies have less time to work with than books so characters we are supposed to understand need scenes to be involved in.

God Emperor be the one for me :)

@@KhalilArafan I dig it too, but Heretics is hitting for me and I am not even done with it

@@karabomasibi2331 it sure be right up there as well.. have a blast ;) ( read in French so far, gotta have to read all of it fresh in original text now that my English is a bit better haha )

@@KhalilArafan Same here, although the final parts of "Children of Dune" when Leto II's transformation hits is probably my favourite part in the entire series. Weird, creepy, awesome.
