I'm only going off Villeneuve's films, and to be honest that second one felt like they were desperately cutting for time. Like lines had been condensed to convey the optimal information to move the plot along. Looking forward to reading the books once the movies are done.
@@davidwilson6577 The books are super cool, but I think I prefer the movies, which is super unusual for me. I think that the movie is perfect for its medium, and it makes the changes necessary for it to be a film. It’s a great adaptation.
@@Blueeyesthewarrior I haven't read the books so I can't say anything about adaptation, but I should say even though I felt it was rushed I still enjoyed the film a lot. I do have a question though, when Paul is heading south with the Fremen, he and two others ride Sand Worms in a kind of synchronized swimming pattern that looks like it would have taken days to set up, when one of them is probably big enough for everyone in the convoy, except we see that it's only the three riders that are up on the worms so... Like, did they try to draw a worm and accidentally get three? Or did they hook the one, then wait around for another two for no reason... just to do a bit of synchronized scurrying? Do they ever need more than one worm to get about in the books, and if so does it make more sense?
@@cdLevo It's just not that good. The first book is alright, but is FAR too long, while also having some really deep narrative flaws. The world in Dune is pretty cool, and yet we see almost nothing of it. And almost everything that happens stems directly from seeing the future, which really makes the characters feel limp because they aren't making choices, just following destiny. The key figure in all the prophecy is the Kwisatz Haderach, who has prescience... But the Bene Gesserit don't seem to know what that is supposed to achieve, and in fact Paul give its a go and then gets bored and wanders off into the desert because prescience is a massive pain. It's just... No. It's horrible. It's just not that good. It's an imaginative setting utterly squandered.
@@lostalone9320 my brother, characters seeing the future isn’t just them “following destiny”, it represents a clear analogue to deterministic radicalism in a story that centers around quasi-messianic radicalism
I know this is a fun April 1st post….but after HOTD season 2, who else would love Glidus to do a miniseries based DV’s Dune? Whole thing together is long enough he could get more than 2 episodes. SANDWORM-HORSE!
