Dune's probably the only film I'm excited for

/pol/ said captain marvel would flop though

about the best world-building in sci fi.
doesn't go anywhere near Tolkein-level autism but for world building confined to the text itself and a short appendix it does a pretty great job.

I'm excited for The Lighthouse and Dune

I don't think it will translate well from book so screen, but the CGI should be amazing.

Yes, the book's good. The sequels go off the fucking rails though. Dune, while having some outlandish stuff in it, remains fairly grounded. The sequels have worm people.

It's Fantasy, not SciFi, and Fantasy never seems to do well in the theaters.

The magic and psuedo-science is a hard enough sell, but what masquerades as actual science is just so poorly reasoned and flat out wrong that it's going to turn a lot of viewers off. You don't have to have a degree in physics, a middle school education is enough to know that a lot of that stuff just can't physically happen.

It's yet another autistic messiah story. If you liked, I dunno, Stranger in a Strange Land or The Fountainhead or Ender's Game, then you'll be fine.

>Autism

It isn't. It's just not as dramatic and the stakes aren't quite as personal. I tend to view Messiah more as an epilogue.

why there are not ost like this (specially @1:50)? I was watching beetlejuice the other day and the ost is fantastic, then I started noticing ost before were much more unique.

>he's right though
So? The line between fantasy and sci fi is irrelevant to 99% of moviegoers, and saying "Fantasy never seems to do well in the theaters" is ignoring the success of LotR.

The success of LotR also argues against your own issue of movie length. The next avengers movie is also 3 hours long. And the movie is being split into two parts so your last point is irrelevant. Arguing the arabic influences will be cut out is baseless except in your misunderstanding of what makes things PC, proper storytelling is able to show, not exposit, and your first point has a small sample size and is ultimately subjective.

>did you literally not understand the book?

Sounds like he literally did. Did you?

I can't bring myself to judge the man when his son has done so much worse.

>Dastmalchian

>Chen Chang

simple as tht

I trust in Denis Villeneuve, he will make you accept her as a good actor.

I dunno, "understand" is always a vague word for books, since people usually mean, "didn't you interpret it the same way I did." I read the first two books years and years ago, and I've forgotten almost everything about them because they really weren't that good. I watched the David Lynch movie recently and decided, at least, that I'd be okay with Kyle MacLachlan being my messiah.

Paul isn't a Messiah though. He starts a genocide just so he can get personal revenge, then doesn't even follow through leaving the burden of the Golden Path on his son.

Dennis never made a bad movie so I'm hyped. I liked the hentai game of Dune and it made the concepts interesting enough for me to anticipate this movie.

>ignoring the success of LotR

That was clearly an aberration, not the norm.

Dune requires you to suspend belief in the basic laws of physics; creatures too big to physically move, a drug that lets you time travel, a flying machine that couldn't actually fly.

It's not just fantasy, it's stupid.

Why do people go crazy for a silly story about drug dealing space Arabs? Dune itself is okay, but the countless sequels that continue the story are garbage.

What you described is Star Wars, one of the most profitable IPs in existence.

This sounds more like an interpretation. Herbert goes out of his way to establish Leto and Harkonnen as good and bad guys, and not just opposing powers in space feudalism. And the feudal powers in general are invaders/colonizers of Arakkis.
So if we follow your logic, then for example Avatar isn't a messiah story either.
As for the Golden Path, I didn't read past the second book because my interest was completely gone by that point. In terms of just the book Dune, it's pretty complete by the end: Paul leads the native uprising to kick out the oppressors, and there's a whole lot of really strange window dressing. Yes Paul has a stake in it, but then we'd be back at "Avatar is really about Sam Worthington wanting to get his blue dick wet," and I don't think most people would agree with that as the essence of the story.

hope the dishonesty isn't CGI'd

So? Are we supposed to equate wealth and marketing with intellect, depth, and quality?

Dune is just an edgier pulp version of Star Wars with sex and drugs.

>I couldn't be bothered to complete the narrative so what happens in what I read is irrelevant

Even in just Dune, Paul has visions of the great jihad that's coming and he's constantly trying to figure out how to stay on his path without also causing the jihad. Eventually he just accepts that he will.

Paul and his mother use their involvement in social engineering organization to take manipulate a group of desert folks into thinking they're demigods (this isn't an interpretation, it's clearly there in the text) and use that force to avenge their House. I'm sorry, but seeing Dune as a liberation of the Fremen is a surface-level reading and nothing more.

>The success of LotR also argues against your own issue of movie length.
No it doesn't. LOTR as always had far more mainstream appeal and asking viewers to accept wizards and orcs and whatnot is easier than expecting them to understand how a guild navigator needs spice to plot a course through space. I never said normies won't sit through a 3hr movie, I was implying they'll be reluctant to sit through 3hrs of dune when they aren't already familiar with it.
>Arguing the arabic influences will be cut out is baseless except in your misunderstanding of what makes things PC
This is just flat out wrong. You really think they're going to drop the word jihad in there or even mention the term Zen-Sunni?

>Moving goalposts
I think you're just shitposting at this point. Your argument was that Dune will be unprofitable because it's a dumb fantasy. Someone points out a counterexample showing a franchise that's wildly popular with the same kind of bullshit, and your fucking reaction is "So?"

Get your shit together m8.

>This is just flat out wrong. You really think they're going to drop the word jihad in there or even mention the term Zen-Sunni?
We'll just have to wait and see, won't we? The fact is that the Fremen are portrayed as noble if fanatical throughout the whole series. If anything I feel /pol/ will be pissed that the movie makes Muslims look like good guys in the end.

May your knife chip and shatter you faggot

shitty productions edit a scene to match a temp track from another movie so the music guy just changes that track up enough to make it "original"

Ah yes Dune, What a current and topical subject. Literally no normies had ever heard of it 35 years ago, and even less have heard of it now. Guaranteed flop.

So you're projecting the interminable sequels back on to your interpretation of the original book, in order to think I'm a pleb for not liking your autistic space messiah. But you originally asked if I've read Dune, not if I've read a million other books that spun off from it.
So I guess we're back at my original point: if one likes autistic messiah stories like Stranger in a Strange Land or Ender's Game, you'll be fine with Dune. If not, you should probably give it a pass.

No one cared about Game of Thrones until it became a thing either.

>The fact is that the Fremen are portrayed as noble if fanatical throughout the whole series.
Holy shit. From the first book Paul is haunted by visions of the Freeman tearing the universe a new arsehole. In Messiah he's frustrated by the Qizarate around him doing heinous shit in his name. In Children of Dune half the bad guys in league with Alia are deep desert Freeman. In God Emperor Leto says they were simply "greedy to maintain their ascendancy."

>interminable sequels
Except Paul's story is completely filled in the first 4 books. Frank only wrote 6 books total and nobody who likes Dune would ever recommend anything beyond that.

I wouldn't recommend anything beyond the first book.

I like the prequel and they would make better movies. Fight me.

>If I cherrypick the moments where a group of humans exhibit negative human characteristics I can paint it as if the franchise shits on them

Fremen are shown as tenacious, able to work together for a single long-term goal even if they'll not live long enough to see the results, honorable to a fault, and generally revered. implying they're portrayed as bad guys in the franchise is simply dishonest and you know it. At worst they're just a tool used by the Atreides.

>Zendaya
Hurts my anticipation for the movie. She’s awful.

of course they would make for better movies, they're the same braindead lowest common denominator scifi drivel hollywood loves to pump out

The great thing about being a Dune fan is that you're used to Brian Herbert raping the source material for decades, so you're immune to disappointment.

It's ironic, the theme of the Dune novels is how hero worship is bad and the way to save mankind from itself is to teach people to never blindly follow messiah figures using generations of oppression, and the Dune franchise (which is considered one of the defining sci-fi series) is being dragged through the mud by adaptations for decades.

I did read your post. You picked an example from each book that suggested they were portrayed in a negative light.

Nothing about my "blanket statement" was false. If Denis portrays the space Muzzies as honorable /pol/ will claim it's libtard propaganda just as the left would claim its Islamophobic if they portray them as crazed jihadists.

The poster i started this conversation with (don't know if it's you) implied that the movie would simply omit any references that indicate Fremen are Bedouin-inspired, and I simply think that's unlikely but ultimately moot since we'll have to just wait and see.

shit actors, generic hans zimmerbladt soundtrack, plebeian cinematography. cant wait.

It's a coin flip whether a book will translate into film, unless that book is full of mad shit that requires explanation that would grind a film to halt, it's more or less guaranteed to be shit.

the best we can hope for is it's as good as sicario, because for arrival and 2049 denis was just a hired gun

>Even in just Dune, Paul has visions of the great jihad that's coming and he's constantly trying to figure out how to stay on his path without also causing the jihad. Eventually he just accepts that he will.
It's not even about staying on the path to defeating the Harkonnens, by the time he usurps Stilgar its clear that even if he died or abandoned the Fremen, another leader would use the memory of Muad'dib to rally the Fremen and start the Jihad. That's why messiah figures are so dangerous, at a certain point their myth becomes self perpetuating and unstoppable.

>The Jihad ended in 10206 AG. According to Muad'Dib, conservative estimates ranked the Jihad's casualties as 61 billion lives, the sterilization of ninety planets, and the "demoralization" of five hundred additional worlds. Furthermore, 40 different religions were wiped out along with their followers.
what the fuck. why? and how were the inhabitants of one planet able to do this?

>how were the inhabitants of one planet able to do this?
well they pretty much had the spacing guild at gunpoint, plus once each planet was pacified i guess they converted the population (with or without their consent) and they would join the jihad too

eventually they have most planets under the kwizarate and pilgrims come from all over the universe to complete their hajj at arakeen

Mostly the fact that Paul took control of the spice, and could therefore dictate what the spacer guild did. He probably didn't even have to invade those planets, just starve them out by stopping all space travel to them.

Ninety planets COMPLETELY sterilized.

61,000,000,000 KILLED.

Forty entire religions wiped out.

In twelve years. How was there even any semblance of a civilization left?

Space big
Human empire big
90 planets not so big share of human empire

>muh 61 billion
oh vey

I understand that because he says 500 planets demoralized. I get that 61 billion maybe was 10% or whatever number. But wouldn't the sheer brutality of the jihad left a traumatic psychological scar to the entire civilized universe?

I worry it might resemble Arrival and BR2049 too much aesthetically. Villeneuve has a thing for minimalist, alien geometries. That style might not fit well with Dune.

That's not entirely true. As Leto II notes, Paul failed at the one task he was created (as Kwisatz Haderach) to do: advance humanity. He turned away from the Golden Path. He didn't destroy the faufreluches, instead subverting it for his own benefit. If anything, his rule entrenched the empire's stagnation, which made Leto II's task even more time-consuming.

Does Herbert ever describe what the Golden Path was without resorting to vague notions? What was it.

I haven't read any of Brian's books, but from the original series it appears to me the Golden Path was a slow social engineering project to eliminate the old feudal order.

if you're asking this question you should really read up to God Emperor. The psychological scarring is kinda the point

How was this going to save humanity?

the point was to have humans spread out so far in all directions that they couldn't be ruled by one government. to have a span so great that humanity essentially branches off into infinite offshoots, ensuring they survive anything. Otherwise Leto forsees basically someone with his level of power able to destroy it all.

>despise ALL of the chosen actors thus far

I can't figure why Paul Atreides has to be cast as a stick-armed, effete five-footer in all of these films. I didn't get that impression from the book when I read it in '83.

Worth the read if you believe human beings are the greatest creation ever.

The central point to all of Dune is that the height of human potential is not not known and we have the ability continuously grow. The other point is fuck computers. Man and his mind is far better than a computer.

3500 years of raping humanity.

>unironically believing this

Attached: w0ucnGL.jpg (499x499, 35K)

Paul and Leto both realised through their prescient visions that mankind was doomed in the long run. Initially Paul believed that the empire was stagnant, in that everything was a solidified feudal system with an entrenched hierarchy, a distrust of technology, and a lack of ambition to change things. Paul saw the potential of the Fremen in invigorating humanity, they grew up in very harsh environments and therefore had a natural survival instinct
>"There should be a science of discontent. People need hard times and oppression to develop psychic muscles. Arrakis teaches the attitude of the knife — chopping off what's incomplete and saying: "Now it's complete because it's ended here."
He believed that by putting them in power he could somehow knock humanity of its stagnating decay.
He realised his mistake after he became the emperor. Tons of people died as the new order was brought about, but the same Fremen were now the decaying aristocratic class.

It was at that point Paul saw the real Golden Path and what he had to do, but he was not brave enough for it, so he left it for Leto.
He saw that mankind had an innate desire to settle for what's familiar and comfortable, to follow charismatic leaders and messiahs, and therefore arrive at stable feudal structures. This was in mankind's blood. The only way to fix it would be to teach mankind of a genetic level to fear stable autocracies. This would be done by becoming the ultimate tyrant, keeping the population oppressed but in permanent peace for many generations, so that they would no longer subconsciously associate autocracies with peace, but would learn to rebel against authorities naturally. Then, the empire would inevitably collapse (with the death of the tyrant), and people would scramble to different parts of the cosmos, instead of settling for another stable autocracy.

Every massively major plot event in the entire fucking series occurs off-screen in-between books. It's a really cheap device.

Maybe if you stuck with high school for four years and didn't become a NEET you'd know about it and it's cult following aswell

This but I would add his objective was to eliminate prescience in the human genome or something like that. In heretics there's a heavy emphasis on the inability to glimpse the future.

Excellent post.

This is quite correct. Paul realized what was going on too late; by the time he had a rough idea of the Golden Path, he was part of the system, and then he got blinded.
By becoming the worm, Leto II was able to directly oversee the plan, due to his immense lifespan. He could add course corrections and ensure that enough time passes for people to really start hating the immobility he had imposed. Also, he wanted to ensure the people who would bring about the end (and his eventual death) would: a) be capable of actually doing so; b) not become the new tyrants.

Yes, because of the observer paradox, which Leto II noted. When one sees the futures, the very act of observing them changes those futures, and locks the observer into a small 'pool' of options that eventually aren't very different from each other.

Attached: 1490791616682.jpg (1144x2560, 1022K)

It wasn't about eliminating prescience itself, it was about making people who were "invisible" to those with prescience.

Remember, prescience in Dune isn't a magic power that achieves time-travel, rather it's people with incredible abstract thinking skills taking it to superhuman levels via a brain-enhancing drug. Paul Muad-Dib (and therefore Leto) were trained not just in the ways of the Bene Gesserit, but also as Mentats, they had the ability to make complicated predictions about what would happen through deduction. That's what prescience is, not psychic powers.

When a person is "invisible" to prescience they're basically too unpredictable for their actions to be foreseeable by someone with this power. That's why navigators for example couldn't predict what Paul Muad-Dib would do, because he himself was playing 4-dimensional chess.

Leto wanted to create a breed of humans who were all "invisible to prescience" because they weren't settled into predictable forms of behaviour.

What? No, you're misremembering. He allowed Farad'n to be Ghamina's lover since he was sterile (his winky got covered by sandtrout armor), and at any rate Farad'n was initially supposed to wed Ghanima anyway (though he would have been killed by her on their wedding night, since she had imprinted herself to believe Farad'n was accomplice in Leto's apparent death).

>Lets his wife's boyfriend kill him, just so his wife's boyfriend can fuck another woman he's been specifically raising to get bred by his bull
Leto knew he eventually had to be killed in order for the Scattering to occur, since he would never consciously relinquish power (and he was functionally immortal), and he would instinctively crush any attempt to overthrow him (like he did the first 200 or so times). He was perfectly aware of the whole plan to shield the conspirators from his prescience and allowed it to continue.

If he tried to finger the poor girl he would've literally ripped her in half.
And there was nothing retarded about his convoluted suicide plan. He was aware that the final greatest obstacle in the Path was his very own presence. However, due to his sandworm bits gaining prescience, the animal survival instinct was simply too powerful for him to just off himself, or have some regular assassin bust a cap (or thermonuclear device) in him.

That's because Duncan realized that he had been a string puppet up to the very end. The greatest humiliation was to kill who he thought an enemy, only to realize it was keikaku doori.

And his head was nestled in a cavity surrounded by wormflesh (which could close like a blast shield in a nanosecond; he survived multiple headshot attempts that way).
>he could have been having kinky giant worm-human sex
He was himself somewhat repulsed by his appearance at times, and he considered any sort of... intimate interaction in his current state to be abhorrent. And sandworms multiplied by self-detonating and scattering sandtrout, so they didn't have reproductive organs anyway.

The Bene Gesserit's biggest flaw is that they rely entirely on women
>The Virgin Bene Gesserit Witch

>"Yeah, I know what needs to be done, even though it'll kill half the known galaxy. Eugenics? Lol, I'll just blackmail the filthy Tleilaxu to keep cloning my late fighting instructor and get him to knock up my descendants every so often"

Much like her son, her flaw was being too human and emotional to do what needed to be done, which ultimately makes her more relatable than a lot of the other characters.

It's going to bomb so hard. The general public will never give two shits about dune. Ever.

Thank god.

I'm stoked for Goatzilla, this, and the blob remake, whenever it ends up actually being made, just because I'll be able to share some nostalgia with my dad while watching them

>you will never watch a 3 hour long director's kino cut of Dune where this song begins in the opening credits and doesn't stop playing until the ending credits

>these feels
My dad never watched Dune with me but he's a cuckold, and my biological father really likes Dune. I'm with you mate.

And that's why Leto II is the ultimate virgin. A real chad would get off on the fact that hot women have to have sex with his disgusting body (see pic related.)
And he could have at least fucked her with his tail, or if worst came to worst she could have rubbed her clit against his body sort of like how some women do with motorcycles of horse saddles. Man I get hard just thinking about it.

Sorry here's the pic I was going to use user

The focus of Leto II and his pursuit of the Golden Path meant he rejected petty base human desires such as sex.

>And that's why Leto II is the ultimate virgin.

Leto has the ancestral memory of tens of thousands of generations of people. He remembers fucking so many different people in so many different ways that actual sex for him is of no interest. That goes for other stuff, he can just take a mental journey through his ancestral memories to relive basically any experience.

The stated reason he didn't want to kill himself was because he knew he would become a martyr rather than a villain

>The focus of Leto II and his pursuit of the Golden Path meant he rejected petty base human desires such as sex.
>ha ha guys I'm too important to have sex, I'll just let another guy fuck my fiance

>Leto has the ancestral memory of tens of thousands of generations of people. He remembers fucking so many different people in so many different ways that actual sex for him is of no interest.

How's that any different from just looking at porn? If anything saying that you aren't interested in sex because you can just experience other people having it in your head is even more beta

This. IIRC there's a part where he gets his memories and notes all sorts of things, like how it feels to be killed in different ways, how it feels to be both the owner of the hand caressing somebody's cheek and the owner of said cheek being caressed etc.

Do you think Tesla thought about sex? Fuck no, some people are elevated above such thoughts and exist on a plane entirely separated from it. Just because you have to rut like a monkey in heat every half day doesn't mean those biologically superior to you must as well.

LMAO I bet he secretly enjoys reliving the memories of his grandma getting fucked up the ass by Duncan Idaho.
>But Lady Jessica never had sex with Idaho
Yeah, you tell yourself that, Duncan is literally the biggest ladies man in the entire series. I bet he listens to Hwi getting fucked in the next room and internally masturbates to the memories of Jessica taking it in every single hole.

t.

Hardly. God Emperor of Dune is him No Way Fag-ing Leto who keeps trying to get him to fuck Siona

You shouldn't be.

TBF lads I haven't read these books since 4th grade, so I'm half making shit up.
Leto can access the memories of both genders though right? Only Bene Gesserit sisters are limited to females only.
Also Duncan fucks Siona anyways. Their chad children are literally the ubermensch who are immune to all psychic influence.

>It's going to bomb so hard. The general public will never give two shits about dune. Ever.

Unless they do to it what LoTR did: deviate so much from the book that it's almost a different story.

I'll probably watch it for the CGI sandworms. I don't think I'll care beyond that.

I'm gonna watch it for the desert imagery. If nothing else, Sicario proved that Villeneuve knows how to get kino shots of desert.

A singular pursuit of sex is a waste of brainpower, pursuing healthy relationships that lead to sex is what is healthy

>Also Duncan fucks Siona anyways. Their chad children are literally the ubermensch who are immune to all psychic influence.
Yep. It's Leto's final "just as planned". He realized just smushing them together like two dolls was a failure, so he worked in a more subtle manner. Which is why, unfortunately, he ultimately sentenced Hwi to die alongside him. If she survived, Idaho would likely continue to orbit her, and not pay any attention to Siona.

>deviate so much
>ELVES AT HELMS DEEP? WTF
>WHAT NO TOM BOMBADIL?
fuck off bookfag

DUNCAN PLEASE SIONA IS OVULATING RIGHT NOW
I NEED YOU TO FUCK MY NIECE
STOP ORBITING THAT DIRTY CHINK HWI
FUCK MY NIECE DUNCAN

NO WAY FAG

DUNCAN PLEASE I'VE LITERALLY BEEN PLANNING FOR 3500 YEARS FOR HER TO GET FUCKED
PLEASE DUNCAN CONTINUE THE ATREIDES LINE
I'LL EVEN MAKE HER SQUINT HER EYES AND GIVE HER IXIAN CONDITIONING

I never knew that I liked Letoposting until now

Kike could have been omitted from his post and it would have made perfect sense. He was just being more precise in his description.

And yet it was not.

>fuck off bookfag

Really? You're putting me down for reading books?

the clips I've seen of children and dune TV series made it seem OK, is it good?

Its good enough if you like the books. It's a little more closer to the source material than the other movie.

Someone please photoshop a Nintendo Switch into that cover.

>and people would scramble to different parts of the cosmos, instead of settling for another stable autocracy.

And then still start it all over again. Marty and Daniel commented on this and had Frank not died it would have been expounded on.

>implying 90% of Hollywood isn’t jews
Come on now dude, that’s not even a /pol/ meme it’s just a fact

lmaoooo

DAILY REMINDER:

Leto has thousands of memories of individual people posting on Yea Forums both as men and women.

Also trans people too

ya. fuck books. pretentious as shit and unnecessary now that we have internet. i haven't read a book in like fifteen years.

Trans people are still men and women

tl;dr me on the story of all the dune books

This disgusting tripfag publicly predicted 2049 would flop, so when it didn't he literally had a psychological breakdown. He's been spamming Yea Forums ever since with the same garbage image macros that supposedly show how 2049 was nothing but CGI, but then he started getting BTFO by behind the scenes footage decisively proving his supposed CGI screenshots to be physical props. He's literally mentally ill, and he's behind almost every BR 2049 hate thread posted since release. He's stopped using his trip now since he's been so utterly blow the fuck out beyond all recognition, but he's incapable of writing a single sentence without outing himself. He might actually be behind the "dishonest" forced meme you've probably seen around here. He's disgusting. He might have even been banned for spamming, which would explain why he doesn't use his trip anymore. Keep this post in mind whenever you see someone shitting on BR 2049, especially if they say “dishonest.” It’s probably the tripfag. He can, has, and will spam the thread to the bump limit if you disagree with him.

/pol/ didn't even talk about this movie, what are you talking about?

Wow I can’t imagine being this stupid it must be such a burden

One of my favorite books ever

The better book of the saga besides the first one, and at the same time, the last relevant one. Heretics and Chapterhouse don't worth the read that much, and the Brian Herbert ones are trash.

It works like an epilogue for the original book. Things are going better in Children of Dune, which serves as explanation and introduction to the climax that God Emperor represents

Heres a brief summary of God Emperor
