The dead bodies of Harkonnen Soldiers eaten by Sandworm | Dune part 2 scene | 2024 

Bro, Imagine how it's the Sarlac must've felt when chowing down Bobba Fett. Now that's epic constipation!

low quality spice

@@kingghidorah8106filthy water

that's a big toilet

The valuable "Spice" that powers space-time travel must have been a product of these gargantuan sandworms as sandworm poop for hundreds of millions of years. One sniff and you hallucinate the future 😅

He's also their ride, his teeth are their swords and they farm his poison. All in all, pretty rad to have as a God.

Never underestimate a culture's ability to rationalize and even make righteous, an act that is objectively an exploitation. To them, they're not using it as a trash disposal, they're "making an offering", using them for transport is "borrowing his power", crysknives are "wielding it's might", and the Spice/WoL is "taking in it's wisdom".

Shai Hulud isn't seen as "God" by the Fremen: They see them as huge gifts from God.

@@yunantheobserver6841what would a divine be if not an aid to mortal.

They also drown the baby worms to make the Water of Life.

Its not food for the sandoworms, it quite literally kills them

No it doesn’t. Water does. And they suck the water out before the offering.

@@DailyShit. Wait, water kills Sandworms? I thought it was the [EMPEROR AFTER PAUL AND ALIA SPOILER] making the planet green that just killed them in general

@@superfnliminal​​⁠They’re repelled by water. Sandtrout form around water to contain it so the sandworms can survive. The bubble of water is chemically altered by the sandtrout to form spice, which eventually blows up and is scattered on the surface.

@@Nicalobocinator Earlier in the scene they took the water from all of them, where one of them was barely alive while they were taking it.

... the destruction of Fremen culture had began, until much later they turned into Museum Fremen.

That’s a good observation, it already hints towards how the fremen would become in later books. Abundance and complacency

foreshadowing Dune Messiah and Dune Children of Dune

I feel they're using the worms here to dispose of the bodies so there is no trace of their presence at all if they're being followed. Any orthicopters flying over head would be able to see a pile of bodies and know they were there. But at the end of the movie, there was no need to hide the corpses, plus there were so many that burning was the best option.

@@mrquirky3626 considering energy need to move through the sand, there is no amount of bodies that can feed single worm's energy needs.

Sandworms come in different sizes. The one swallowing the spice harvester is a veeeeery big one, this one is much smaller.

@@LittleBlacksheep1995 It seems, then, that the size of the vibration possibly also affects the type it attracts. Which makes sense, bigger predators won't want to waste energy on smaller prey, and smaller predators won't want to risk trying bigger prey, especially when they go solo.

@@korsekil but seeing as how paul summoned the biggest worm with the same thumper would be bard to explain

​@escamunicha4276 Paul went on a big dune and at the right height the vibrations and sound is amplified, plus he set up the thumper for a big pray print

You are probably right but this one is also smaller, like others said.

"Insoluble fiber"

Apparently the worms can just eat a whole harvester without much trouble so I guess inedible materials aren’t too much of a problem for them.

@@theblah12 idk why they didn't put it in the movie but the worm's stomaches are supposed to be literal fiery furnaces. In the later books they describe being able to see light coming from their mouths and feel the heat.

Damn, that rhymed.

​@@danenagai1157it's based on a Rudyard Kipling poem. "When you wounded and left on afghanistan's plain / and the woman come out to cut up what remains..."

​@@EGRJ because to the Afganis, torture was women's work, so they got to torment enemies.

Not those bodies 😂

In the former scene the Fremen extracted all the water from these bodies, leaving behind dehydrated husks. Also, I doubt those few bodies would have enough water to kill a full grown sandworm anyways.

76%, actually.

sandworm better portable trash can..

Rick and Morty trash eating doctor Meme 😂

Garbage Goober 🤣🤣🤣

I had the same thought. Where do they get the resources to create those thumper things, they have a lot of them. However I just read some reddit explanations and the Fremen have factories and resources which we don't see in the movies.

The fremen have factories in the larger settlements. Also they do engage with trade with smugglers and stuff for resources they cannot get locally.

Oh yeah he’ll be passing something later

Bless the Maker and His water. Bless the coming and going of Him. May His passage cleanse the world. May He keep the world for His people.

Junk Food.

*YEEEAAAAAAAUUUUH!!!*

I believe the Emperor himself said this exact thing when he took part in the music video for Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice"

Why aren't the Fremen sandwalking?

phew, im safe. im white and have never had rhythm

it's sand lol

I would not consider sand to be "the most solid thing we know"...

Earthworms are actually ones that turn rock-hard solid ground into fertile mush, suitable for agriculture.

It’s collapsing sand, cuz sand easily caves in when something is underneath. Not very solid lol.

Even the solid earth turns jelly like during earthquakes

Fremen do have industry in their Sietches, and the Thumper is likely as small as they can get it while still being useful. As to making it, they likely have lathes, drill presses, hydraulic presses, mills, bandsaws, sanders, shears, brinders, buffers, and similar 1-person tools. The Thumpers are not made at the same rate as a dedicated factory, but think of a tool & die shop. Of course you'd want some sort of power source, either solar or liquid fuel. Solar means you are mostly free from needing resupply, while liquid fuel means you can use the generator's exhaust as a source of water.

@@toddkes5890In the books, the Fremen are bribing the Spacing Guild with spice to keep satellites from orbiting Arrakis - I guess that could also include regular shipments of raw materials and high tech equipment. They’re surprisingly equipped for a society of desert dwellers on a guerrilla warfare campaign.

Humans also can‘t eat huge moving factories or dive through sand. Dogs also die from too much onions or chocolate. Maybe try being smart when being a smartass.

Imagine the chemical furnace inside a worm, so it can move around like an animal but still exhale oxygen.

They are too drug ridden to be added to the Fremen water reservoir in the Sietch. But compared to the size of an adult worm, they are too small of a dose to be an issue.

Which makes you wonder how much energy is needed for a worm to move forward, vs the calories from the sand plankton. Then asking where is the sand plankton.

I believe it depends on where you place the thumper as that will serve as the source of the vibration that attracts and influences the trajectory of the sandworm’s approach. Placing it high up on a particular dune, as one of the earlier commenters pointed out, probably creates different vibrational patterns than placing one on ‘ground level’ as the properties of the sand may differ in terms of how they let sound/vibrations travel (to a sensitive worm nearby). The Fremen can also tune the thumpers as we’ve seen in several scenes so that’s probably another factor to consider although I’m not confident I know what the tuning exactly does. So I’d imagine that if you place a thumper pretty high up, and tune it a certain way, a sandworm will probably be inclined to approach pretty close to the surface and then finally breach the surface as it rises along the incline of the dune to swallow the source of the vibration as we see in Paul’s worm riding scene. In the first film, the sand harvester was at ground level so I’d imagine the worm was inclined to swallow from below. In the scene above, we observe that the thumper is also on ground level and the worm conversely swallows the pile of nearby corpses from below. Lastly, Kynes called a worm in the last film in preparation for a ride but she’s attacked before she can complete the necessary steps (not sure what happens to the thumper in the scene after the Sadukar attack her). However I distinctly recall her pounding the ground to attract a worm at which point a sandworm swallowed from below once again. In any case, this is also speculation on my part so take my comment with a grain of sand.

Perhaps (if this theory would fit the fictional world), there is a version of plankton in the sand so, the worm is similar to Whales and just swims around gobbling them up.

​@ant270 you're actually correct. The Shai'Halud generally feed on sand plankton, their own microscopic offspring, that fill the entire planets sand dunes. It's not portrayed, but those sand plankton that survive become sand trout, who absorb water, hold it in their bodies, explode and produce spice from the afterbirth, and subsequently produce a small worm

Their cities called "sietchs" number in the thousands, and some include manufacturing facilities.

Sand plankton

Perhaps there are fauna living deep below the sand, much akin to sperm whales devouring deep sea giant squid?

@@lamotiengodidal6511 Could be. Did Frank Herbert ever explain the sand worms in detail... I haven't read all the books and the one I did was many many years ago. I was only 11 years old when he published it in 1965 but I was an obsessive SciFi reader and glued to the black and white TV while NASA prepared for and send men to the Moon in 1969. I expected to be holidaying on MARS and planned a bucket list trip for my 70th Birthday... this year. Oh well, Dune on IMAX will have to do. Great to see the book finally made into a worthy film.

@@lamotiengodidal6511 I agree with this explanation; it must be very difficult to study an animal that effectively moves through solid material, unless they happen to break the surface like the worms do. Plus, our real world knowledge of Earth's oceans is not complete to say the least. We still don't know for sure how large animals can truly get in the depths of the ocean, and what little we learn about some of those animals (giant squids for example) is gained by luck, when a dead specimen washes up, or if one happens to be caught on an oil rig camera or something. So there could be any number of undiscovered species down there in the depths of the sands of Arrakis......

They eat sandplanktons(young sand worms)

Think of it as a cranky teenager being given junk food.

They were drained for coolant first.

These particular ones had just been drained of their water. For others, this is just my theory but the worm may take them in and spit them out. A human wouldn't survive that process though with all those teeth.

the water was already extracted beforee that scene.hope if you have watched the movie you could see it

@@Filmart255 yes i have. But still in the end the worms eat like 20k sadukar soldiers running and not drained... so the question remains

They were drained

They were drained for coolant first.

maybe by the beats of the thumper?

Worms are attracted to rhythmic noises primarily. As long as the Fremen don't make too much of a rhythm when walking, they won't attract a worm as much. The Thumper is a fixed point providing a rhythmic noise, which is very distracting. Like trying to listen to a conversation on the far side of the room when your loud-mouthed friend is talking next to you.

They used a thumper here, just like they do if they need a ride. The only difference here was that the worm just showed up without warning from immediately beneath the thumper whereas when Paul calls his work he gets a nice 2min warning.

@@toddkes5890 I know, and they use a thumper in both cases. My point is about the way in which the worm appears. If the worm can appear from immediately below like this, with little warning, any fremen hoping for a ride would find himself devoured by its maker rather than taking an Uber to his favourite hang out spot.

@@davidwiles6042 Worms can have ranges of 300-400 square kilometers. if you are in a worm's territory, what are the odds that a worm is directly beneath you? Also note that Paul and Gurney were able to run out of the worm's attack range in the first movie, so I'd expect Fremen would be able to recognize similar signs and get out of range faster.

The digestive acid must be extreme.

@@jamesbrice3267 probly all that sand slushing around the insides, will wear things down

Those things are a whole harvester

the water was already extracted beforee that scene.hope if you have watched the movie you could see it

@@Filmart255 they don't take the Harkonnen water because they say it's unclean. And later on Paul instructs them to throw the Baron's body in the desert without removing the water.

@@schmoo3309 no they did take it, they just said they were using it for cooling

the water was already extracted beforee that scene.hope if you have watched the movie you could see it

@@Filmart255 Ah, they bled them dry. I wasn't entirely sure about that scene. But then again, a sandworm did swallow Dr. Kynes and three Sardaukar, so I assume that one died.

i feel like it would need slightly more water than that to kill a sandworm

@@LineOfThy According to Frank Herbert's own writings, a single human body has enough water to kill a fully grown sandworm.

@@LineOfThy According to Frank Herbert's own writings, a single human body has enough water to kill a fully grown sandworm.

The fremen drained the bodies of their water before doing this, they used the water from these Harkonnen soldiers in their stillsuits cooling systems, the bodies would not have much moisture left in them

Bruh the water in human body is like a drop of water for the worm

A more "realistic" way of reclaiming the body's water would involve pureeing (down to the cellular level), and a nano-grade filter press. Or solar distillation from the puree, leaving organic sludge as fertilizer. But all that sounds too much like Work. ;)

Harkonnen would have to have an idea of knowing where the Fremen are, and deciding if wasting a Thumper on a few lone Fremen is worth it. Compare to the Fremen knowing where the Harkonnen Spice Harvesters are and attacking those.

They alreay retrieved the water from the bodies. Atleast one of them while he was still alive.

Pretty sure we see them extracting moisture from the bodies beforehand

Probably for travel weight considerations. Theres definitely leftover water in the Harkonnen's but it would be a hassle to transport. If they want to dry up their body like they did to Jamis for water they'd have to carry 15 or so corpses to Sietch Tabr, and if they manage to suck up all their water they'd have to carry 900 pounds of water that would've been 900 pounds of scavenged lasguns or steel

They took enough water to refill their suits. It's too polluted with chemicals for them to drink.

They took their water for use in machines due to the chemicals in their blood. This is just sorting the rest of the trash
