I'm still hoping Denis Villeneuve ultimately changes his mind and adapts the other Dune books after Messiah. His Leto II would likely be the stuff of nightmares.

I was at that Conference, the beginning is perfect. Denis even said that it's a whole different movie, the first one was more about the first contact with the series and his vision, more about the wonders of Dune and it's beauty. Now, he said, it's total action and total war. And the scene of his first ride on Shai-Hulud, I got goosebumps during the whole moment.

My hope for the second movie: One of the reasons Herbert wrote Dune was due to the distrust he had of charismatic leaders and how the people are fickle, manipulable and surrender their freedom (with the respective critical sense and necessary distrust to the government) to follow the various scoundrels that infest the global history. The sight of JFK and the charisma he exuded - just remember the romanticism of his government and person that emerged after his assassination. The best passage of the 6 books is in the dialogue with Stilgar in "Dune Messiah": Genghis Khan killed 4 million, Hitler killed 6 million, and I sterilized planets." What a magnificent "hero" Paul Atreides was. And how the followers of a leader expand the mistakes of their leadership (religious, political, etc).

Quinn- if you read these comments, just wish to say- beyond providing amazing discussions/analyses of various science fiction works, and conveying your overall passion for them, you have a great reading voice and style! It really illuminates the emotional tone and intensity of the passages read.

45 yrs old and this makes me feel like a kid awaiting Christmas morning or a birthday. You are a treasure, and your content is amazing. Thank you for reaching out to a new generation.

Maybe I am mis-remembering but I thought Jessica and the Bene Gesserit's abilities came from Prana-Bindu training in how they can control their bodies at a cellular level, and that is why her pregnancy would not hinder her abilities to still be able to fight. The weirding way I remember as being the kind of combat training they did, like an ancient martial art.

Really hope Denis changes his mind and sticks around for Children of Dune. I wouldn't want anyone else to direct it

You mentionned that passage in Dune Messiah and that always bothered me : Why didn't the fremen know a word for "drown" if the entire ritual to create water of life rests on drowning a baby sandworm.

I actually read the book because of you and your channel I'm hyped about this movie can't wait

What i like most about your videos is that i can hear the excitement for Dune in every word you say! I'm a huge fan of Frank Herbert's books myself. But i think you're even on a much higher level. You're an expert when it comes to sci-fi and i really like your Channel! Greetings from Germany

It happened in a event in Brazil, called CCXP (Comic Con Experience). We also had a pannel of Mad Max Furiosa and a screening of Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon. Try catching on some brazilian Dune creators, we also have a ton of information you guys might like 🖖

I really, really like this channel. Quinn has become THE youtube guy for Dune and all things science fiction.

Best ever break down! Very knowledgeable! 2 years after high school late one night I saw Dune for the first time it was released and over the years have become a fan seeking out books later mini series and now the new epic movies! I to can't wait until 2 comes out and I too will be there opening night! Thank you for your hard work brother!

I’m grinning ear to ear listening to this. Thank you so much for this update. Makes me want to reread the book again. I’m so looking forward to seeing this movie.

love your videos! and that's a beautiful bookstand.

So much I'm excited about in this film, but man...I love the Walken casting. He looks haunted and paranoid, and maybe a little weary of looking over his shoulder all the time. Can't wait to see what they deliver with his character.

Dune was one of the book series I put off reading for almost 35 years. I knew it largely took place in a desert world and that just never held any interest for me. It didn't seem very "scifi". Then I watched a video from Quinn about the three body problem, which I ended up reading (all of them). I noticed Quinn only ever made videos about really good stories so I gave in and got all of the dune audiobooks and listened to them. I'm glad I did. It's not in my top ten but it's definitely in my top 20. However, the recent movie was really, really good. So I'm looking forward to part 2 soon. Thanks for making me finally read dune.

DUNE II🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 The first book is such an amazing allegorical tale synthesizing Herbert's fascination with the sand dunes in my home state of OR along with the recent (for the time the book was written) neo-colonialist activity in the Middle East seen through such an iconic sci-fi novel. Simply brilliant!

My biggest potential disappointment is the erasure of Hasimir Fenring. He's one of my favorite supporting characters in the series, but so far they haven't announced an actor for him. However, the _have_ announced an actress for _Margot_ Fenring, his Bene Gesserit wife. This leads me to believe they cut Hasimir and gave all his story to Margot, which I don't like. I loved the husband-wife team dynamic between the Fenrings, and while I understand that neither was particularly important in the grand scheme of the original books, I can't help but feel like combining them into a singular advisor/spy/assassin will result in a character who exists entirely for plot exposition, with none of the nuance that came from _both_ Fenrings. It's possible that Hasimir will still be adapted faithfully, but if that was the case, I really think they'd have told us who's playing him by now.

Great update, the movie is going to be spectacular! Btw did you know you got a shoutout from og Fallout creator Tim Cain on his channel? He loves your old school sci-fi critiques as well. Congrats and thanks.

Interesting fact that maybe people dont know from the books, the Landsraad is actually a Norwegian word, meaning "council of the lands, or council of a country"

Quinn! Your videos are fantastic! They are among the few that I to rewatch (or relisten). I hadn’t considered that the ensuing chaos from the Harkonnen overthrow of House Atreides on Arrakis effectively put Paul out of reach of the Bene Gesserit. If that hadn’t happened maybe they might have been able to control him. So many layers!

Hyped for this film and even moreso thanks to your video! Good job man!

I'm glad that you mentioned Alia. One thing I'm really excited and curious to see is how Alia is portrayed. The character is not even listed in the cast for part 2 on IMDB.

I haven't looked forward to a movie like this in a long time. Maybe LOTR RoTk in theaters? Can't wait!

Thank you so much for all your amazing Dune videos. You deliver with such love of the universe and are so inspiring.

The Emperor should look younger. In the book he was described with red hair. The Spice extends life, and Shaddam IV lived over 200, but he looked in his mid-40's. It sounds like the scene immediately following Paul's fight with Jamis, is being cut. I hope not, as I find it a strong important scene. It shows the reclaiming of a dead person's water, Paul getting wife and kids, and the distribution of Jamis' personal items which Paul almost abstained from, yet he finally joined, claimed an item and spoke how Jamis was his friend, and I believe it was this moment that truly sealed his place as a member of the tribe.

A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct. This every sister of the Bene Gesserit knows. To begin your study of the life of Maud'Dib, then, take care that you first place him in his time: born in the 57th year of the Padishah Emperor, Shaddam IV. And take the most special care that you locate Maud'Dib in his place: the planet Arrakis. Do not be deceived by the fact that he was born on Caladan and lived his first fifteen years there. Arrakis, the planet known as Dune, is forever his place.

I'm so excited, wasn't even aware they showed footage in CCXP. I would've loved to go since I live in Brazil.

I love listening to your analysis and I too can't wait until the new movie is released. You are so insightful in your videos. Thank you for all your content.

Thank you for helping me get more out of the movies with your videos quinn!

This might be the only video where i skipped to the end. Avoiding any spoilers but getting your over all impression. So glad you are still stoked for Part 2!!!

From the posters, we can also surmise that a large portion of the film takes place in Mexico.

IIRC, the Maker hooks spread the segments of the worm open which causes irritation from the sand. Thus the worm rolls away from the irritation, bringing the rider along until they are at the highest point, where they manipulate the hooks so that the rolling stops and they can begin steering the worm.

love your commentary. excited to see this movie in theaters

So excited for this and your content to be is coming too and everything suddenly feels nice.

I haven’t seen Dune or read any of the books. (I think one should immerse themselves into literature when the time is right). But I am fascinated by your videos. I feel like a I have been teased into the saga for a couple years now. I will come to the book at some point. Well done as always.

Love your analysis. keep up the great work.

Love your work. Thanks for ur passion about Dune! We greatly appreciate it and wish you all the best.

Excellent analysis. Thank you

love your channel. love the content.

How in the heck did they not invite Quinn to that convention? I know of no other character out there That's been more promotive and more consistent with his love of Dune than Quinn. It's a major plunder on their part that Quinn didn't get Front Row Seats Curious to know and ask anyone else who might read This, Do you know anyone else that has been More consistently in their Love for the Dune story?

You are the best for all of these passionate Dune deep dives

I have the same copy of Dune - red leather-bound, gold lined pages. Beautiful copy of this outstanding work of art. I have it surrounded by all my other Dune novels and others works by Frank Herbert. Really exciting to see another bookshelf like mine!

Ah, I'm so excited for Dune part II s2 I really liked the way he put Irulan and the Emperor talking while playing chess because the game is an intellectual dispute, so this connects to the political intrigue element, that occurs just through conversations in several parts of the books, which I think didn't appear as much in the first film. In addition, the way that the title appears right in the moment of Dune being retaken by the Harkonen represents this new chapter in the history of Dune, because the first phase was marked by the arrival and fall of the Atreides and by Paul meeting the Fremen, and now we are going to see a Duna governed by the Harkonen again, but with the Fremen being lead by Paul to confront them

I love many of your video's, breakdowns and thought discussions in the SF genre. I would love to hear takes an views on a deep dive into the lore of the Warhammer 40K universe. Primarily since they drew inspiration heavily from the Dune books (alongside semi fuedal gothic victorian era blended with WW1 concepts) an many other SF genre's to expand humanity's war for survival in the 41st millenia in a grim dark universe full of cosmic horrors.

There’s a much larger amount of anticipation for Part 2. It’s been a disappointing year, moviegoers are dying for this caliber of sci-fi/fantasy.

Thank you for the update!

Cool videos Quinn keep em coming

I wondered... Very happy that you're talking about it.

Your channel is amazing!

It feels like they'll be differences Quin, I am rewatching Dune 2021 and those visions Paul was having were the future but different. He seems to say so as well. Like seeing Duncan out with the Freeman, but it was Stilgar that he was sensing. The knife at Lady Jessica, and the baby.... he also saw Chani killing him but under a red sky which is showing up in this next movie. I'm thinking Jessica might have another boy and name it Leto the 2nd and some Freemen seem it as the Mah'di. But I am 🎉🎉🎉 on hearing Signals from the man himself saying there may be a third movie to complete the trilogy.

Man, after all these years, still LOVE that intro track ... a perfect lead-in for your voice!

Amazing promo pics. Can't wait for this sequel.

I’m hyped! I love the books, I think the first movie was a great adaptation and I hope part 2 will keep up the quality.

Fantastic, Quinn, cheers from the UK 🧑‍🚀

Love and respect your analysis. I appreciate you.

Thanks! I love your videos on Dune.

This has the capacity to be an even bigger hit than Star Wars… I mean the plot is so good I really can’t wait for this second film. Your videos on Dune has been AMAZING & I just want to say you’re doing a very good job. And thank you for what you do.

Thanks for sharing Quinn

Can't wait for Dune 2. Thanks for the presentation on the first 10 minutes

Great job again!

I’m so excited for this movie and always think of you as the prophet of the Villeneuve DUNE project. So grateful for your geekdom!

Appreciate the thoughtful breakdown.

Dune News = Happy Quinn :) We're expecting a trailer breakdown Livestream asap!

I was in Sao Paulo and had no idea this was happening

I am so so ready

Quinn: "Everything Dune related excites me." Dune Messiah: Hold my beer

Thanks Quinn. Just saw an extended scene - the first sandworm ride.

Thanks Q, its nice to know people who also find meaning in works of imagination.

Shamelessly feeding the algorithm! Because this was yet another great video. Thanks!

Keep the content coming! Foundation Series 3 is coming! Could you do a breakdown between the book and series, highpoints and lowpoints?

Thanks Quinn!! ❤❤❤❤

I can't wait to watch this movie. I had a dream about it last night, I think. I saw a beach eroding so fast it felt like the ocean was eating the land. High upon a rock stood a woman in black. She turned and walked away. What else could it mean? It's Dune time, baby!!

Quinn for the win! thanks for the video mate.

Oooo 10 mins at convention. Very cool. Was interested where the 10 mins was shown.

Stilgar recognises the weirding way because The Missionera Protectiva planted myths.

Dune is so rich! Love it! I can't wait for Part 2 and beyond!

thanks so much for your content, quinn. you are a dune scholar, and i a mere fledgling. like you, i am excited - AMPED! - to see Dune Pt. 2. A question... what do you think of the possibility of Denis being so faithful and painstaking in his adaptation that he makes a third part? real Dune followers/ disciples understand that this series is so complex and multi-layered, that to give justice to all facets of even just the first novel, would honestly require more time. it's a proven fact that studies show the average movie-goer's attention span dictates the length of movies. hence, denis breaking his adaptation up into two parts. however, if he is willing to go that far, why not take it even further? make a third part. if they were to hold back on the final confrontation (fremen v. harkonnen/ emperor's forces, and mua'dib v feyd), and for example, flesh out mua'dib's life amongst the fremen (his relationship with his actual 'first wife', Jamis' wife who became paul's after killing him in combat; and his relationship with Jamis' sons, who he adopted. And also how she became somewhat of a 'godmother' to Alia as well. so forth and so on. also explore more about the harkonnens, feyd's attempted assassination of the baron, more on the "flawed" kwisatz haderach Fenring, etc.). there's SO MUCH in this first novel that i would love to see brought to the big screen. at any rate, my question is just speculation, a 'what if ...?' on my part. i think there's already released footage of mua'dib and feyd fighting, and that outcome brings to a close the end of herbert's first novel in the series. remember, this is the book that launches everything comprised in the Dune universe!! so loyalty and love mandates - DICTATES! - painstaking precision with adaptations. if not, one runs the risk of creating a flawed work like, for example, the original Game Of Thrones adaptation on HBO. They undertook a project that was not finished (is still not completed) and ended up having to improvise an ending that left GOT loyalists disappointed. I think that's what lynch did with his Dune adaptation: forced to create a Hollywood formulated ending that left ONLY the average movie goer satisfied. Dune scholars, disciples, aficionados, etc were irritated, angered and disappointed. now denis is in the spotlight. will his faithfulness to the source material produce a well-thought out, accurate adaptation? lynch failed in his two hour, hollywoodesque block-buster adaptation. denis has thus far shown ingenuity and integrity with the source material (breaking it up into two parts). Is that enough, though? again, loyalty and respect for herbert's masterpiece mandates accuracy as much as possible, without alienating and/ or angering his sponsors and shot callers and their demands (i.e. Liet's gender change). i just wonder if maintaining that level of committment might not require a part three. denis has already set a watermark by creating a two-part, motion picture adaptation. why not go even further, hold off on the ending, create a third part that explores and fleshes out more layers and textures of the novel? just a question ... would be interested in your thoughts and opinion on this 'what if ...?'

15 minute video to talk about 10 minutes of content, Quinn just gets it

Great work

I love Chris Walken, but damn it would have been cool to see Werner Herzog play the emporer. OMG, or David Lynch 🫖

Yes!! ❤

7:30 "no one likes the Harkonnen because they, kind of just, suck." 😂

But those minutes and those scenes are the first ones that appear in the film and in that order or did they just choose those scenes at random? I'd rather that wasn't the exact order because I'd be sorry if they then cut the whole Jamis water scene and the water ceremony or when Paul is given the name Muab Dib, I hope they don't skip all that.

I have always been grateful that my rite of passage into adulthood did not include pissing off a gigantic worm and jumping on it with grappling hooks while the entire neighborhood stood by to watch.

I love both prior generations of dune movies this 3rd one im sure will be cool

Quinn Dune videos always slap

Also looking forward to the release of part 2. I'm hoping it will be as good as part 1

Gonna be incredible, thanks

I would have liked to see some Pranda Bindu muscle control from Lady Jessica in the first movie. The actress does portray this physical control fairly well in her Mission Impossible appearances.

Dune is a little hope that i have for today cinema and book adaptation done right, once again i can't thank Dennis enough for this

When I hear those opening words, my mind still sees and hears Virginia Madsen.

whoa! Cant wait!

I have trust the denie will do a good job of this book as he choose to do it in parts and it’s been a great ride so far and hearing that he is doing something in the way of princess irilan books really shows that and give me faith that this will be good

Or when the fremen are talking about how they felt like they were choking on the atmosphere because it was so humid/full of water

I am guardedly optimistic. There were things in the trailer that concerned me a bit, but I am still excited to see the film and will be there with my son on Day One.

its good to see this story getting what it needs. Villeneuve bring it to life. Best film series in years.

Another great video! Dune content is always exciting!

QUINN!! i have questions, im reading heretics of dune atm and i just wanted some clarification on some things if you dont mind? i figured id ask you because i consider you the loremaster eh ;) What value do the ixians bring after the scattering? do you think Leto II knew all along about the bene tleilax super hidden plots? i recall he left them alone knowing they had no-ships right? was Sionna naturally bred or was she planted on rakis? i might have missed the answer to that one. and can i ask you questions later if i have any more? im a huge fan of yours and you definitely got me into dune and im super thankful for that my brother! P.S- hoping we at least get a release date for winds of winter in the next 4 years....
