Hey guys, what’s happening? Niyat here with film comics explained, and today we’re diving into both Parts One and Two of Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune.
While I have an expansive playlist covering all the major concepts, players, factions and organisations in the franchise, from The Fremen, The Sandworms, The Spacing Guild, Bene Gesserit, Mentats, The Harkonnens, The Atreides, The Sardaukur, The god Emperor, Emperor Shaddam Corrino and more (links in the description) my aim with this video is to explain what happens in both films in relation to the lore from the books.

Paul: sneezes Stilgar: LISAN AL-GAIB!!!!!
As written!
And Jessica says "I was just trying to shorten the way, to the Shortening of the Way"
Then Jessica starts singing (because at this point she's fully mad, taking to her mad pre-born fetus as well as ingesting mass amounts of spice...more and more each month, b/c the old doses just don't work the same magic anymore...) "Mama's little baby loves shortening, shortening, Mama's little baby loves shortening the way!"
I said something similar in my theature and ppl buster out laughing. Here was atleast 3 scene like it, so funny. Paul trips and recovers quick, stilgar 😮 as it was written, Lisan Al Gaib.
@@Shams-lb3hh😂
Paul: Will you please listen?! I'm not the messiah! Stilgar: He is the messiah!
* lisan al gaib
Hes not the messiah hes a very naughty boy!
He is too humble to admit it, as it was written!!!
Life of Brian refrence 😂
'He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy '..... that's the line from The life of Brian, created by the Monty Python crew much later.
**snorts a line of spice** "you have mch to learn, ill show you the ways of the desert" **begins desert walking like a drunkard**
"Wanna sew my worm?"
When you’re too drunk off spice beer to ride your worm back to the sietch you gotta rail down a fat gagger of space blow so you don’t accidentally smash into a crawler and spill your water.
Yeah.. these all sound about right... but damn.. then desert people throw some of the craziest parties don't they???
@@robertagu5533gets so high they believe a foreigner is going to come and save them, some good shit.
@@moneytwenty yeah except in THIS story that's basically what happened... They literally greeted initially with a "too you long enough to get here" (basically) from the locals.. they only had to verify they was after being believed dead at first
Frank Herbert was right: Charismatic leaders make people forget that you are often dealing with monsters.
But isn't okay to be controlled by a monster?
Meh
yes like barrack obama
@nathanielphan allways the one prick that has to bring politics into it
Dont bring in politics because he meant it about jfk a democrat so even thou the fitst comment was a little on the nose its ok cause it may have been bait
Despite some deviations from the novel, Denis Villeneuve has done an exceptional job adapting the movies, successfully preserving the essence of the original story.
I 100% agree. I’m so happy with both the books and movies despite some differences.
My only complaint with this reboot is that first movie felt like they cut it too short. Even though in the novels it's about where the 1st original book, being also familiar with both the previous 2 movie sets an the books, also left off.
Curious how he’ll adapt god-king-worm-man aka Paul’s son Leto ll
@@mike5894 I don't believe he's going to keep making them long enough to really explore that to the length you're hoping for, unfortunately. He said that Messiah will most likely be his last Dune film.
those movies are truly beautiful, i think that after 2 decades of poor cinema we finally seen an epic story very much like LOTR trilogy
This movie was created because a film maker had a vision, a dream, a goal to see this adaptation done right. I bet Frank Herbert is smiling from beyond. Denis villeneuve killed this.
killed?
@@Samuelisakson maybe kills? Lol
Oh, he killed it...just not the way you think, and Frank, he'd be shaking his head. Villeneve is a putz.
Fr man this is a legendary and uber rare combination of a god tier set of novels and the universe therein with a director set on cementing the legacy of the Dune books. Especially in today's world where it seems Hollywood is only satisfied when it shits on a beloved book or reboots a classic franchise like fhe "vacation" movies IT'S TREESSSHHH 🍵
I'm personally happy this didn't go WOKE like some other SF franchise and insulted it fan base.
Incredible video! One thing I noticed a lot of people skipped but that I thought was really cool was when Paul says to his newly discovered Harkonnen cousin, "may thy blade chip and shatter", he says it back to Paul!!
when paul says that, you can see feyd almost grin with joy, this is his twisted code of honor made manifest
@@gorg2945he thinks Paul is hot. Harkonnens are an incestual race. Remember when Baron kisses Feyd? Feyd pulls him closer and kisses him harder. The line between sex and violence is extremely blurred for Feyd and the Baron
Why?
woah no way just watched dune for the first time literally just finished it then hopped on youtube to understand it more and boom theres a live video explaining it lol
I mean it's one of the highest grossing films of the year
@@salmonnnnmanI mean yea
Omg!!! No one cares
@@priestsonaplane2236omg! 200 people cared and yet only one thought your sly remarks where funny!
@zmokahbiar As written!
Saw Dune part 2 last weekend. Worth it. Any changes made by Denis Villneuve make sense and don't detract from the novel.
Really? What is the reason to get ride of the Space Guild? One of the most important factions in Dune, without them there is no trade or transport around the known universe, or the stupid idea that Feyd Rautha should be a replacement of Paul, even that Feyd mother was never part of the breeding program of the Bene Gesserit, and the Kwisatz Haderach should have been female if Jessica didnt have piss off the Bene Gesserit and having a son, because she loved the Duke, the Bene Gesserit were so piss off that turn the term Kwisatz Haderach into a derogatory term after the God Emperor Leto II die, considering him an abomination. Let not speak that they barely show the mayor factions of Dune, Shadam, Irulan, the Bene Gesserit, the Space Guild, and they completely dumbed down the Harkonnen and the Fremen, even Shaddam feared the Fremen after they began their rebellion because Arrakis is more harsh than any of the prison planets of the Empire.
@@TheKeyser94 I mean we gotta realize that this is a movie. This is the story of Paul/House Atreidies, Chani/The Fremen, House Harkonnen, en the Bene Geserit. Whilst the Spacing Guild is very important in the grand scheme of things, we aren't looking at the grand scheme of the story and would just add useless info to the story we do see. Unless we would see the Harkonnen or the Atreidies travel to other planets to negotiate prices and quantities for spice, there's no real reason to add the importance of the Spacing Guild if we're not going to resolve that subplot (which would make the movies even longer than a total of 5 hours). Hell, people already (somehow) have a hard time realizing that Paul isn't necessarily a hero, and that the Bene Geserit aren't just creepy servants. To add 2-3 other houses, their motives and ideals, the Spacing Guild, and *all* innerworkings of everything would simply be too much for 90% of a cinema going audience, and that would mean we would have never seen this movie at all because the movie would have flopped. Imo Villeneuve has balanced streamlining the story well whilst staying faithful.
So agree but many people are losing their shit over chani particularly which I don’t get. Paul says she will come around. He just used her in this film instead of introducing a new character to see the doubts 😊
@@TheKeyser94he didn’t get rid of them. They are mentioned in the first film and seen. He just didn’t focus on them. Dune is dense you have to make decision. He can and likely will address the spacing guild more in the next film.
@@maciedixon3983 How you known that they are them? Neither of them speaks, we not see the Navigator, we not see the procession of the Space Guild to put the navigator in place to jump to Arrakis, and in Part 2 they are barely insistent, even that they depend as much of the spice as the Bene Gesserit.
This is an incredible breakdown, can't imagine the effort required to make this video. Thank you
Glad you liked it!
I think people have the wrong idea about the Southerners being the fundamentalists and the Northerners being more reasonable or whatever. The point was that there was a stark division regarding religious interpretation, the southerners believing in the Lisan al-Gaib (an off-worlder) while the Notherners believe the Mahdi to the Fremen, native of Arrakis. They kind of all were fanatics, they simply had differing interpretations on the same prophecies.
Cool take. In the book, there was no northerners vs southerners division but it’s one of the details I really like about the film adaption
@@priestsonaplane2236Yeah, I know. I appreciated this little detail too. It's very true to life, how religious schisms naturally occur.
While I understand and appreciate the positive comment about the film (rather then bashing it), I'm probably going to have to disagree on the notion that the division between the Fremen was a positive addition. I think one of the main features of Franks writing was that the environment played a HUGE factor to how the plot of the story plays out. In a story where the whole point is that the harsh/unsurvivable conditions makes the natives feverously and collectively adherent to the same ideology, why? Because the whole bloody point was that only the strongest and smartest can survive, so while this addition comes across as more thoughtful then the original writing, it doesn't really improve or add anything. I mean by the end of the movie all the Fremen board the ships to enact their jihad, so DV kinda just kinda contradicts himself for no apparent reason.
@@frags4679 "I mean by the end of the movie all the Fremen board the ships to enact their jihad" -Yes they do, but for different reasons....some for 'Holy War', some for nationalistic reasons and to take revenge on a universe that oppressed them (and tried to genocide them) for the sake of spice production...The Fremen were united in battle and in cause, if not in motivation...and I think that was very realistic...to imply that millions of people on a huge planet would all be blind fundamentalists, without any voices of dissent or differing interpretations, is frankly corny
@@koko40800 Nope, never said that any form of dissent or disagreement was bad, only that these additions were implemented poorly, or at least, the idea which DV had in mind just didn't really translate well to screen. I'm not opposed to the idea at all, do it right though. I like your latter point though.
Dune 2 is probably one of the best scifi sequels of all time. It makes me want to read the books.
You should. You really should. And don’t leave out the prequels.
There are audiobooks ❤❤❤❤
Me too
Don't read the books, they have major spoilers and basically give away the whole story
DO IT!! *in my Jessica rendition of The Voice* 😂
Kinda ironic that the bene gesserit mothers never thought the “kwizats haderach”(shortening of the way) would arrive ahead of schedule lol
Right when I was looking for more Dune content. Thank you, love the channel.
You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed it!
You mean you found a dune channel when youtube is pushing dune content? Amazing.
@@joshportie Wow, you must have a really happy life...
@@filmcomicsexplained Well done, I agreed with everything except wishing the Gurney- Rabban fight was longer...I thought that was faithful to the book, showing how outclassed Rabban (and the other Harkonnen) were...Gurney is one of the best fighters in the Imperium, Rabban is a thug with a bolo whip...And if you want to get philosophical about it (that's what we Duneheads are here for no?) It also shows the momentary and transitory nature of vengeance...Gurney seethed with hatred his entire adult life, waited and suffered many years on Arrakis for this moment when he could kill Rabban....then it was over in a split second...the brevity and mundaneness of that fight could be seen as a statement in itself
Paul: *simply breathes* Stilgat: "LISAN AL-GAIB! LISAN AL-GAIB! AS WRITTEN!"
He's not the Messiah, He's a very naughty boy.
Film Comics Explained with another absolute banger!!! Incredible video my friend!
phenomenal effort, thanks Niyat.
You’re welcome!
Love your breakdown! Small correction in the beginning: the spice doesn’t allow for folding space - that is actually achieved mechanically via the Holtzmann drives. What the spice allows is for the navigators to navigate foldspace without becoming hopelessly lost. It does this via gifting them a limited form of prescience that allows them to perceive the right path. I don’t think it’s ever made explicit in the book whether it is true limited-presence, or simply the spice enhancing their ability to do extremely complex computer-like calculations quickly (similar to Mentats). Notably, it takes bathing in spice to the point of mutation to replicate even a fraction of what Paul was able to achieve with much less spice exposure. Paul’s prescience is also the ability to perceive branching paths of the future.
100%, thanks for pointing out the way it is written in Herbert's creation.
If Paul is a Hero, Villain, anti hero, or emperor, I am all in! These movies are making me rejoice cinema once again
Great...go watch Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire and let me know how much you still rejoice cinema
@randyschwaggins go back and read my comment carefully 👀 use your brain to full capacity. And that movie looked like garbage from the trailer but good job wasting your money 💰
I first want to say this has been the best breakdown video I’ve ever seen of a movie. Watched another dune video and I was very unhappy with the lack of conciseness and clarity. I am new to the Dune universe and I am very pleased with the writing, screen adaptation, and world building I’ve seen so far. I have fell in love with the story and plan to read the books. I have been looking for a story that has the depth and cohesiveness of LoTR and Star Wars and I think this is it. I am excited to begin this journey. Dune 2 has been the best film I’ve seen in a long time. I am incredibly excited for the potential.
Thank you for the in depth explanation of these movies dude, brilliant work as always 👏🏾
You could say paul was more human than anyone in the series. By trying to save his family's name, stay with chani and still follow the golden path... He failed. A jihad in his name was the best possible outcome that he could see because every other alternative was worse. Didn't even have a choice... His grief and heartbreak over his loss broke him... broke even further after coming face to face with leto the 2nd. Damn Paul...everytime i think about it i feel bad for the guy.
I appreciate you so much for making this. I can’t get enough of dune. I watched the movies 2 times each.
Last nite I was literally upset you didn’t post this 😂I was looking for that legendary filmcomics tone explanation
Part 1 and 2 are masterpeices
Only if you watch the movies with your brain switch off.
@@TheKeyser94this just isn’t true
@@CaptainArthanos Actually it is. You not notice how barren of world building, context and substance this movies are, even the previous adaptations did far better work. Is an spectacle for the eyes, yes, but that only would entertain a five years old, apart from that, this movie not have much to say, barely any factions and the factions themselves lack any kind of nuances.
@@TheKeyser94the movie engages the viewer on all levels. Visually and orchestrally you *can* shut your brain off and just enjoy it, but there is also enough depth to those aspects alone that you can pick them apart; for instance the “dirtiness” of the CGI making everything look more realistic and artistically consistent with how we perceive objects at that scale. Thematically and especially regarding factions and character, I genuinely don’t understand how you can think there is zero depth when almost every aspect of them is implicit and very little is directly told to the viewer, relative to what exists. That is the definition of engaging at a higher level. Costuming choices invite the viewer to attempt to understand what particular components and materials mean. Vocabulary, such as the “weirding way,” is used organically and must be parsed out. Very rarely will I say someone is objectively wrong, but you are wrong here.
@@CaptainArthanos The problem is that there is nothing to understand because there is nothing there, the movie may be visual appealing, but is totally empty, the message is a subtext instead of context, Dune is very rich in lore and factions, all infighting for the spice, but Villanue Dune shows nothing of that, only crumbs, hell, he get ride of the Space Guilds one of the most important factions of Dune, without them there is no trade or transport between planets, and they are part of the CHOAM, that deals with spice, Shadam and Irulan are barely there, even that Shadam plotted the destruction of House Artreides with the help of the Harkonnen, but in previous adaptations you understand the why, here, there is nothing, and Irulan is a mess of contradictions, a novice Bene Gesserit who tell her one of their more deep keep secrets, hell, even the Bene Gesserit contradict themselves Kwisatz Haderach should have been Jessica daughter, but because she loved Duke Leto, she give him a child, that pissed the Bene Gesserit, they used the excuse that a female child could mend the feud between the Artreides and the Harkonnen, but the Kwisatz Haderach it was their perfect being, that transcend space and time, but after the reign of Leto II, the God Emperor, become a derogatory term to anything abnormal and magical, in the original Dune, the Kwisatz Haderach never was consider to be a male, so suggesting that Feyd Rautha should be a replacement for Paul is really stupid, and contradicts everything that they have been plotting for centuries.
Very much enjoy your videos. Haven't read the books in years and appreciate your videos. Exceptional.
Some big galaxy brain shenanigans involved in this House fight.
Finally! I’ve been waiting for your video
Great video. I have read the 6 books multiple times, and your interpretation are spot on.
Love the music you used in the background for this video! It makes it EVEN better somehow. Edit: Over the next year or so, can you re-upload all your Dune/Duniverse videos using the same calming/ambient background score that you did for this video? Imo I think it would be amazing and even MORE engaging with this type of sound.
Got my Dune cup right here LFGGGGG

You're the GOAT man. Another amazing piece outlining this film, book(s), and universe we all love so much!!
10191 AG(After Guild), as in after the formation of the spacing guild. Paul's bloodline is said to go as far back as ancient Rome and Greece. This sets the story some 16,000 to 16,400 years after the fall of the western Roman empire in 476 A.D. So It's closer to 20 millennia. I don't care what Brian Herbert says about it. His Dad wrote the base lore.
18:50 Actually, based on Canon, the reverend mother was Lady Jessica's mother.
dude, your lore videos are second to none. so detailed.
Paul isn't a monster, he's a complicated figure in a complicated position.
Well, his son became a worm
@@soriddosuneko lmao....ik.. right.. it gets super weird.
No, he becomes a monster.
He doesn't need to be. 60 billion are gonna be dead because he couldn't give up the Fremen. That makes a monster
@@FoxyLoser61 billion
Can’t wait till you get to a million subs bro I love your channel you cover everything I watch man ❤
You outdid yourself this time Niyat - perfection 👌
Can you do a video on what is written about Earth and the humans from Earth that first explored, colonized, and ultimately seeded extraterrestrial worlds and cultures?
if you watched to the end, earth was destroyed because of the atomic warhead that destroyed the robots that attempted to overthrow humanity and enslave them.
An amazing breakdown and analysis. Great work.
Congratulations for 1,000,000 subscribers. I've been with you from long before 119. I've had the same scopes, and wanted to know how you got yours. I remember when you made 119 and laughed and cried with you over the years. I hope to be watching when you get to 2 million and then 3 million..
The scene where the fremen charge on top of sandwirms made me cry in the theatres
The Spice Must Flow....
Really enjoyed this. Thank you
Great long video on Dune parts 1 and 2
You are a class act my friend ❤
Love this channel. So good.
awesome vid man
Dune is one of those movies that really makes that Middle Eastern look absolutely fire
Great video
Right off the bat, some cool movie clips.
Paul: *farts* Stilgar: “As written!!”
I remember not seeing part one until 2023, knowing nothing about Dune except there was giant worms and people wearing black suits with tubes in their noses. What a silly ignorant individual I was, these 2 movies are so awesome!
Read the books. All will be explained. Mostly...
Me too. I watched it waiting for my flight. And only heard about because I saw the trailer for dune part two. Man I went back and watched all dune movies they released. Glad I found this masterpiece. The new Star Wars
Alia not killing the Baron sort of creates a problem, for those who knows what happens to Alia.
It's alright because they won't do Children of Dune.
Yes, Alia killed Vladimir, her evil Harkonnen grandfather, St Alia of the Knife.
I really enjoyed both movies. My husband has some concerns about the ending of the second movie but I haven't read the books, so I was happy. I really should read the books since I am named for a character in the books.
I think chani is pregnant already with the twins
She would know that by now.
I agree, another reason why Chani ran off almost crying...she's a teenage girl in love, probably pregnant with Paul's kid(s), and she sees him marrying another...in that context her reaction is very realistic and understandable...also Paul and Chani didn't yet have the bond they had in the books, where they spent several years together, already had and lost a child, etc...the book Chani could feel more secure in their relationship, and accept the marriage for what it was...the film Chani has only been with Paul for less than a year (however long the film timeline was...maybe six months or less)
Seen this movie over a month late, was so desperate attempted to see it while abroad on vacation in Vietnam. I’m really fortunate they were no longer showing it. Got the imax experience back home and immediately looked up tickets for a bigger screen.
In a long time fan of Dune and am loving this proper blockbuster treatment of it. Of course I enjoyed the novels and all of the previous films in their own ways, but I look forward to to seeing it fully told in a non cheesy big budget way as well to round it all out. Hopefully we get all 6 books adapted!
Have you seen the a&e version?
I dont go to the cinemas anymore. In the last 10 years i have gone once. Will be going this weekend to see part 2....
i wouldn’t be surprised if they just make paul become the god emperor instead of involving leto i just wanna see someone turn into a worm god emperor
Likely not, Denis already has said he won’t go beyond Dune Messiah, so we sadly won’t be seeing the God Emperor. That being said, I would also not be surprised if Hollywood decides to milk the cash cow and make a new set of movies covering CoD and GEoD
I hope they don't make Paul the god emperor, that'd be a change too far as it's his son Leto II that takes that path. There's a pretty good TV adaptation that covers that part of the story.
I LOVE YOU MAN!!!!

@FilmComicsExplained, you are the first reviewer that thought both parts of DUNE were excellent movies but also expressed concern for the major deviations from the source material, especially the Paul/Chani relationship. I like the fact that you did not drink the Kool-Aid and just except a new interpretation of an already established story with key plots that move the story in a trajectory for the rest of the Saga. I have no clue how they are going to fix the Paul/Chani relationship in one movie to adapt DUNE Messiah.
Thanks for making this video man. I’m making my kids watch this before they see part one and two, they’re never gonna read the books like I did.
Great video Can you do Cerberus,Collectors,Terra Firma, and the Alien species from Mass Effect and Department of Mysteries,Azkaban,Antonin Dolohov and Yaxley from Harry Potter
That was awesome
I look more towards the miniseries as a contrast, and i do like that Chani here questions everything her people are being subjected to. Children of Dune is going to be pretty interesting to adapt as we only have the 2003 version to look back on.
Grats on 1m
Film comics presents Please do a video on The vampires from Roswell conspiracy aliens myths and legends
Part 1 was very faithful to the book's first half with the only exception being that the World Building was lost. We are never told why Yueh's betrayal was out of nowhere or the significance of the Mentats. Part 2 deviates from the second half of the book but for the most part, it is done to showcase the dangers of a powerful and charismatic lead which was Frank Herbert's original plan for Paul Atredies which many didn't understand in the first book. This led to him writing the second book to show that Paul wasn't a hero but more an anti-hero.
They had the Doctors wife that’s why he betrayed them it’s said in the movie
@@JukeboxWithJayYes but they don't explain that even that shouldn't have made him betray the Atredies. In the books, Yueh is a Suk doctor that are conditioned to make it so they cannot take a life. Such conditioning would make it unheard of for Yueh to be part of the plot against House Atredies.
@@jasonworlock5113 This. I was sort of disappointed when the film didn't go over this, not that it's a huge detail or really all that important, but still a cool character trait that makes his character more interesting.
In the books Dr Liet Kynes is Chani's father.
@@annk1019I would bet that Liet Kynes was Chani's mother in this adaption they just never confirmed it.
Walken as the emperor can never be undone.
Unfortunately. He was not a good choice for the role, imo.
I thought Walken played this Shaddam well, because in this version he was supposed to be weak and ineffectual...He was the Emperor with No Clothes...all his power came from the Sardaukar, who just got eliminated in front of his eyes...this Shaddam didn't even have the counsel of Fenring, who he could also ask to kill Paul in a last ditch desperado move....the fact that Fenring refused him (in the book) was also a final reminder that at the end, he had no power left...or any real allies
The emperor in the book is old but looks much younger due to his spice consumption, I thought Walken's portrayal was good but he looked too old and worn.
@@koko40800 I see your point, but he "should" be a petty, vainglorious man who only cares for power. In this version he was like a toothless Corrino Lion.
@@Emanon..."In this version he was like a toothless Corrino Lion"...if that's how he came across imo that's even more evidence Walken played it well...b/c I think that's exactly what the film Shaddam is....a weak toothless Emperor (his 'teeth', the Sardaukar, were literally 'extracted' one by one)....and he did come across as petty, saying Leto was a "weak man"...when in fact Shaddam was the weakest man in the room
Any chance of you explain the old "Wild Palms" tv show from the 90's?
Me a 40k fan bearing „god emperor“ *heresy intensifies*
Is there anyone in this universe who’s just like a regular guy who just chills??
I'm no expert and completely agree with all points mentioned. Also confusing is the absence of the weirding (sp?) way.
I’m ready to see how the holy war plays out in the 3rd film
While I enjoyed Part 1 & 2 of the films, I will admit that the ending choices of Part 2 was a bit odd for me given how it went in the books or how it is portrayed in other movie adaptations of the media. It left me with many thoughts after I left the theater the day I saw it that this video helps add more thoughts/context to and for.
In my headcanon, Arrival is part of the Dune universe and the "aliens" were actually very, very, very early Guild Navigators.
Alien visitors would have a huge cultural impact, 20,000 years into the future, religions would be made out of it. Sadly in the Dune universe, the Imperialuim haven't ran across aliens as they haven't made any contact.
Omg awwsome!!
Let's go!!!
why was feyd tested though? and why wasnt thufir in part 2?
Can you make a video on Alia Atreides?
Already seeing people saying how Paul just used Chani and appropriated the freemen. Ignoring the details of Paul's transfomation into the kwisatz haderach to double down on their own beliefs. The irony of that soaring over their heads is almost comical until you realize that we share the same air.
Thanks!
Paul : I think lord vader isnt happy. Stilgar: LISAN AL-GAIB!!!!!
I love movies like Dune. It’s like a book where you start imagine what could be written on the blank pages at the end of the book. Thank you Nyiat for yet another good video
Hope they add part 1 to theaters bc ppl are starting to realize how special it is
Great idea
I got to rewatch part one in the cinema last week, well worth it
Villeneuve shouldn't have diminished the role of the Spacing Guild. It would have better highlighted Paul's control of the spice by forcing the Guild to prevent the combined Great Houses from landing on Arrakis and sending them home to await the Jihad. There was no reason given in the movie preventing their landing.
Well, Paul did say he would bomb the spice fields with his atomics if they tried to land in the movie. But that’s about it. I do agree with you though. The Spacing Guild is a HUGE part of the story. It’s one of the main reasons why Paul had so much power and why the Jihad was so successful. Controlling the spice means he controls the Spacing Guild. Which means he can take his armies where he wants, when he wants. He can also stop any travel or trade for anyone else and totally isolate them (like the other Houses and worlds that oppose him.) Easy pickings. Not including the Spacing Guild at all in Part 2 was a pretty dumb move. So much background story wasted. Hell, I would’ve been fine with just a _few sentences_ mentioning how important controlling the Guild was and what the benefits were. Something! Anything!
Considering the fact that we don't actually see or meet a Guild Navigator until Dune Messiah (Part 3), and they are completely in the background throughout the first novel, I would think the Guild would be one of the first things cut from a limited run time screenplay
I don't care what changes are made, only that the core premise is maintained. It's 2024, the original books don't necessarily fit with a modern audience. And, the films need to make money or the series would die. For those married to the source material, they'll be there for you forever. But this is Dennis's adaptation. His vision of what the story is about, and i for one, loved it ❤. This was the best cinema experience of my adult life. Only watching "Empire" as a kid can match how i felt walking out of the cinema.
I would like to see a dune show about the conflict between the humans and the thinking machines
Worrying that he wants to do the best movie ever. Reminds me of the Avatar sequel, which turned out to be a complete turkey. I hope he just makes a good movie. Part 2 was breathtaking. Perhaps the best SciFi ever made.
Unlike Legend of Korra, Dune Messiah was written by Frank Herbert.
Long live the fighters!
