@lorxell A similar prophecy has been planted on lots of planets - for them to use as needed. As is made clear in the films they don't just want to breed a super being, they want to breed a super being they can control.
@lorxell They didn't have the atomics only the great houses (e.g their oppressors) have nukes. Paul accessed his families nuclear arsenal to use in the big battle. In the film only he can access them as the vault is keyed to his DNA (bloodline).
@TerrenceDonahoe@SpiicyAtreides Weirding modules & Paul being a genuine Messiah & uncomplicated hero made for a fun movie but is not book accurate. Denis seems to be keeping the themes of the story so far. I hope his Paul is still a complex, protagonist in 3 & he doesn't just go with Paul = villain now.
@davidthomas291 Why would people moan about re-releases? It's great seeing old movies back on the big screen & no-one is forced to go. I missed out on Dune 1 because of COVID times, so really happy to get the cinema experience. Though dunno about the sneak peek, cause of spoilers.
@WilliamMunnyOG@Aliathewhite I enjoyed Lynch Dune but I prefer the Villeneuve films, both as films & as adaptations (so far). Lynch went all in on portraying Paul as a hero & genuine Messiah figure but I like the newer films making him a more complicated protagonist.
@GreatDeadGod@TheNicholasWolf Chani is a character in a story who does not know everything, Paul is not shown even trying to explain his reasons to her, as he's 'seen' she'll come around. So from what she believed & did know, it's not weird that she was angry.
@GreatDeadGod@TheNicholasWolf Your being very rude over a film opinion, films are just pretend. From her viewpoint they had Paul a military genius with prescience, nukes, a massive army of the galaxies best fighters & sandworms. So a good shot at winning without him pretending to be a Messiah & taking over.
@GreatDeadGod@TheNicholasWolf He told her he knows he's not the Messiah but then uses her people's beliefs to take power. He also promised he wanted to fight beside them not lead & then he becomes supreme leader & uses their war of liberation to claim the imperial throne. She has a right to feel betrayed.
@avender00@retneysholocron@Diextro_M9@MCUFilmNews@EmpireCityBO Nope I've watched most & the cinematography never moved me, & outside of some cool songs used in GOTG & Ragnarok the music is just ok. I've enjoyed MCU for the stories & characters. While I find Villeneuve films like Dune, BR2049 or Arrival beautiful audio visual experiences.
@SaketxJane Dune 3's cast is much smaller so they will have spent way less on movie star salaries. Also people like MCU movies for the funny quips, action scenes, connected stories & characters. Whereas Villeneuve is known for films with amazing cinematography (& fab scores)
@avender00@retneysholocron@Diextro_M9@MCUFilmNews@EmpireCityBO The CGI of Doom in the trailer reminded me of a video game. The only way you could think that looks like great cinematography is if comic book movies are all you have ever watched. I mean it's fine as no one watches MCU movies for the cinematography anyway.
@GreatDeadGod@TheNicholasWolf I think she's more mad that he's tricked her people into thinking he's their Messiah, & is now ordering her people to go die in a huge galactic war to defend his right to be galactic emperor.
@DiscussingFilm Is the marketing making the film look mid on purpose, so that people can be pleasantly surprised by the actual film? Because the CGI for Doom looks bad if it's the finished product. Or maybe they know they'll sell all the tickets anyway so going low effort on the marketing.
@Jcwilcox1234@lfcwillll2@Chanevaya@DanielRPK I can't see massive crossover with the Jumanji and Dune 3 audience. So I doubt either film will have much impact on the others box office. Jumanji is light-hearted & family friendly - so could work well as counter programming to the darker & more adult sci fi of Dune.
@peter_unhinged But many people felt he was snubbed for the first two and the third has been described as a 'different beast'. So I'd say depends on the critical reception for this one, if it's really good he could get a nom to cover the trilogy.
@noselfinsert@goingawaytohell I mean he already had Paul & Jessica discuss how they were manipulating the Fremen and also had Chani repeatedly say why this was a bad thing. I guess you are right and a break the fourth wall direct address to the audience is all that is left.
