lets go on it was a fun thread.
Seething, shitting or loving dune
True.
if you dont get what dune is about you are not white btw.
sorry i missed the eldar response before it got nuked, where'd they steal that from? (my penis is a pillar upon which whole worlds have been built)
Every dune thread gets a mandatory muttdaya
tolkien. the first elves are called eldar. space elves. the simarillion even hints at them being from space.
i wouldnt have it any other way.

cool, i have had the silmarillion for two decades but never read it. perhaps i should. thanks man, gotta go pick up the kids at school if the thread ain't nuked by the time i get back i'll talk more dunehammer.
also why the fuck would jannies nuke a dune thread? are you insane? it doesnt get more political than that.
it is just a footnote.
sailing across the sea of stars to middle earth.
i say that means space travel.
also isnt there that story about the huge evil spider queen demon that "came from the dark emtiness that surrounds the world" yeah thats space.
them being from space
Pfff ...
sameone post the new feyd harkonnen. i havent seen the 2. movie and i wonder how he looks.
what are you tring to say?
i think the word eldar is even some old nordic word for "the first"? some scandinavian bro correct me please?
I have only seen Villeneuve's fist effort. It looks amazing on the big screen.
it is visually very cool yes. and the music is awesome. but it is desert star wars. not dune. i had enough star wars so i didnt bother with the second one.
he didnt get what it is about. wich is somewhat understandable because selling dune to normies as "cool" is almost impossible.
Dune writing is so terrible
Fremen are super oppressed sand people from the religion of peace
can't liberate themselves from 1 great house of the Harkonnen(while it is made clear they're stronger than most houses there is very little detail in the extent of differences in their powers beyond that)
THE MAIN CHARACTER ARRIVES (prophesied, but actually the prophecy is just a means of control not real at all, but it happens anyway it's just totally self-fulfilling)
suddenly it is introduced to the plot that ummm akshually there's a billion more fremen that nobody knew about
Now with the power of the MAIN CHARACTER and the 1 gorillion PIS fremen they win the day and defeat not just 1 but all the great houses + the emperor's elite AND they reverse colonise them
It tries so hard to be different from other Fantasy/Sci-Fi but it utilises the same tropes while just having a skeptical view of those tropes and a spin that the main character is actually not a force of good in the world
if you want to understand what the point of these bookjs are ou will have to get to the 4th book. this one is like a epiphany. imo one of the best books ever published on this planet.
I have seen the second dune as well as the first one from 3 years ago in Cinema this year. I couldn't believe how good they were, I had so many emotions running through me when I left the theatre, these movies are in a caliber that they are worth seeing in the cinema. The first movie feels like a really great introduction to the universe and the second movie is the movie where all of the juicy stuff happens and wraps up the first book.
The second dune is definitely my best movie of the year and I can't wait to see what they will do with messiah that they are working on right now.
see
the correct reading order is:
1,2,3,4,3,4,5,6
it was weird and kinda gay but i still watched them (for free)
if theres another ill probably watch it too (for fucking free)
First one was nice, second was boring
It’s nothing like goy wars
i might be a little asshole about it because i was hoping for something else. i think the 2000s tc adaption did a better job.
*tv adaption
Also, since this is Anon Babble this is mandatory:

The Fremen aren't the "Good guys" fuck them, they weren't opressed enough.
...
fucking hate how they butchered the baron again. he is way more scary in the books. he is supposed to be a 250 year old genius, cultured, highly intelligent, clean, in nice robes and whatnotelse. a real adversary. not this glob. yes he is fat. es he is a pedo. but not like this. the man has stile. and more importantly patience.
are you trying to get me go schizo? yes i wouldnt be suprised if we were said space elves. but this isnt the thread for that bro.
in any case the homo superior is grasping for the stars right fucking now and we might very well be the eldari one day.
I still found him lacking. Had to rely on a mentat, ffs.
everyone does. do you not have a smartphone or a computer? that is a mentat.
I read all the books, watched the mini series loved it. New movies were crap. The only thing they got right was the ornithopters
checked btw you evil basterd.
mentats are human computers that do stuff you as a leader cant be arsed with. and he burns through them like pther smoke cigarettes.
*others
point is: they are tools. and he even has an thing for using the ones that have human aptitudes. didnt you get how much he distrusts his mentats? they are super dangerous and he knows it. he also takes the fucked up ones he can control with fucked up stuff. like good ol peta
i wish there was a 4th book in this series.
I don't like the two new dune movies, they kinda suck. fuckin zendaya is unwatchable. i thought the 80s dune was pretty good up until the last 30 minutes and then it seemed they ran out of time. i have the book now but still have not read it. worth it, i imagine?
ruins your kino
Casting her and Tim Chalamet was such a miss.
Captcha: HDTV
now again: someone tell me a form of goverment other than autocracy that would work on an insterstellar level.
and dont fucking describe the star wars wannabe democracy again.
Timmy has the charisma of a wet carboard box. Thats jewish nepotism for you though. He literally looked like a bored gen z who just wanted to be back on his phone
I like my own thinking better, thx.
pther
Gotta be ready to shoot your toaster if it beeps at you in a funny way.
Its too bad they picked a Jewish tranny to play Paul, and a lesbian man-hater as the love interest. Really ruined the production.
can confirm, the cast is shit.
ive only ssen the first one in wich the cast was pretty much on point except for gurney who is supposed to be ugly as fuck.
cune
the cast was pretty much on point
If Oscar Isaacs was a decade younger, he'd be the perfect Duncan.
I dunno, anon. I see where you’re coming from, but we had a workable republic with horses and wagons, when it could take days or weeks to travel between the various states. So long as travel times aren’t too extreme, I think some sort of Republic or confederacy could work.
oh ok sorry. that one was really fucked up. duncan is the main character of the story. this is not duncan. thx for reminding me. you are 100% right.
travel times are either not even happening or take take months and only with the help of the spacing guild. an interstellar empire without instant communication can only work with monarchy. a godking even. something you wouldnt even dare to antagonzi because it will come to your world 20 years later to burn it down.
a lesson leto 2 tries to teach us. letos godly peace over millenia. but even this has a nice touch to it. but thats spoilers for the best book in history.
fucking goddamn jannies. total janniecaust now!
