Oh wow look, another totally organic cultural phenomenon that is definitely not munfactured corporate hype!

I can't wait for all the Dunecore aesthetic TikToks that will mysteriously disappear after the marketing period ends!

Dune is actually good though. It'll become IP Slop when they start making fanfiction as movies.

I'm a dune fan, that's why I haven't watched the new movies. If I watch them I'm going to be incredibly pissed. from what I see of them, they look like shit. as dar as i know a hack director decided to adapt a book that's mostly dialogue and exposition without using dialogue and exposition, because it's what his remedial writing class said he should do. They also supposedly whitewashed it removing the islam bits for example.

Removing the Islam bits is fine imo. The Jihad is a horrible thing and it's better to not associate it with a live religion.
