make sure you stay for the end credit scene

NEW DISH CREATES UPLOAD LET'S GOOO 💖💖

as a crazy person who has neither read nor watched the movies i love the way you describe the books and it rly seems to be super thought provoking as well. I love stories that do it and do it well. i can get why Toiken didn't like it but i'm pretty fine with it love to see more from you and you're journey into hobbying

AND AUSTIN 😂 Great video! As someone who has only seen the movies and does not intend to read the books it was v interesting to hear how wild the differences are! Villeneuve's changes sound more grounded which I like. Tbh I kinda struggled with the coldness of Dune Part 2. It's weird to say but the only characters I was really rooting for were Chani and Gurney. It felt to me that everyone else either gave in to the allure of power or were manipulated to follow. I loved who the characters were in Part One and it's probably why I prefer it overall. My unease is probably the point though since it is very much a Hero's Journey: Cautionary Tale Edition story. Very interesting nonetheless!

Ive been thinking about resding dune. This was great to understand the book to movie comparison

The book has a weird structure in that it jumps ahead two years and suddenly the Fremen have taken over Arrakis. It skips the fun action scenes that the film incorporated by doing so. Then both the book and film rush towards an ending where the Sardaukar are quickly overwhelmed, which for myself diminishes the import of what is happening - the Sardaukar are losing for the first time in a VERY long time - and then you are in the Throne Room. The book hints at what becomes very apparent in the later books - Herbert's storytelling was not always up to the task of communicating his ideas and themes, which were his greatest strength. The plot of Dune is intricate and multilayered, but the next books, not so much. He regained the last ones got really weird. And his characterization was probably the weakest part of his storytelling. The characters often feel like plot devices. This all works in Dune itself, but becomes a very evident problem in the sequels. And it certainly wouldn't have worked well onscreen, which is why I'm wondering how the hell Villeneuve is going to adapt Dune Messiah.

3:14 the cat got scared T^T oh noo

YAAAAAY I WAS SO EXCITED FOR THIS

The Intro tho😍😍😍

SEATED

Yay!!! I love dish reading :)))

I think one of the biggest reasons why there's such a divide among audience's response to Paul is because his archetype isn't nearly as familiar with in pop culture. Paul is not a hero, or villain or even anti-hero. Paul is a tragic hero, and that's a very different thing than most of the discourse surrounding the character and ultimately what Herbert is trying to communicate within his work. The whole "Paul is good guy vs. Paul is bad guy it just depends on your perspective" perspective misses the point. Paul is very deliberately written as the Mary Sue of Mary Sues; he's raised from birth as a mentat, an order that represents all of the sacred aspects of the masculine. He's surrounded by alpha males who love and guide him. He's trained in the Bene Gesserit way by his mother, representing all the cunning power of the feminine. Paul's mother loves him and his father so much that she disobeys a sacred order of her own sisterhood. Paul is raised as a ducal heir and learned in the ways or war and politics. He then goes on to live among the most robust, resourceful and pragmatic people in all the imperium and eventually becomes their legitimate ruler after succeeding in all of their rituals and besting all comers. At this point the missionaria protectiva is moot, Paul has fulfilled all of the prophecies that no other person in the imperium ever could, he literally is That Guy and proves it. And that's all before becoming the goddamn Kwisatz Hadderach, the supreme being who can see in all places at once. The most capable human to ever live. And yet, even this supreme being is unfit to wield such monopolized power because no one is. The jihad is inevitable, violence sings its own song. This understanding of power is demonstrated in all the surrounding characters and subplots. The Bene Gesserit have the hubris to think they can control humanity and even the Kwisatz if they just patiently plan in the shadows long enough, the Fremen think they are ready to fulfill their dream of the "green paradise" which they do, but at great destructive cost to themselves, and so on. Herbert once stated that his favorite president was Richard Nixon as Nixon taught the American people to distrust presidents.

BOOK CONTENT🎉

I read that the author of Dune rectified Chani's character to be more opposed to the path Paul goes on after the reception of the first book and people thinking she too just followed Paul, so apparently has a big motivation switch in Dune Messiah; that the director of the films said he wanted to portray correctly from the get go instead! I have yet to read Dune messiah but that alone does make me want to pick up the second book to see if Chani is more like the film's depiction of the character! Loved the review I was excited to hear your thoughts on it as I had recently finished dune before the release of part two! Also reading Alia's character I was so worried the film was going to give Twilight Renesmee character issues so I like the way the film went instead😂

tsuki! 🤍

I read Diune and second book but not fully. Paul when he became ''in charge'' was so annoying to me. As you said he treated his mother badly and she... a strong independent woman who people feared became weak like a shell of herself. Why? In a second book the way author showed women especially one person (Alia). It was weird and sexist too... One scene with Paul and her made me so uncomfortable i dropped that book and it made me not interested in movies. ... Tolkien was a wise man lol

I'm Muslim and dun disrespects islam religion so badly and shows it in awful way

Someone told me dune describes women really badly? like $exualised & doesn't treat them very well? is that true?
