I wouldn't understand your comment if I haven't watched Dune 2, especially when Stilgar wiped the one tear from Jessia, more like taking the water for himself. :-)

@@samsun99 Hey! She wasn’t using it!

I don't think she's crying for house atreides, but for the fact that Arrakis is condemned for another few decades of horrific oppression and exploitation under the harkonnens

it's not just the thopters, and it's not bug mimicry, but rather house shapes. Atreides has a very angular shape for everything, the Atreides motif on their collars, their thopters are angular with long hard edges and corners, their frigates are giant triangular prisms with sharp edges. Harkonnen are organic and bulbous, their frigates (seen at the start of part 1), are misshapen, organic and squashed. Thopters have curved backs, and their uniforms similarly focus on curves and form-fitting. Imperial craft go for a circular motif, the frigate (carrying the emperor's messenger at the start) is very circular, and kynes, being an *imperial* ecologist, has an imperial thopter, who's front windscreen follows a perfect circular arc.

It was probably a deliberate choice yes. But lore wise the Ornithopters are different types. First variant [medium]: From Atreides - minimal weapons Second variant [heavy]: From Harkonnen - heavy weapons which requires more wings and sacrifices speed Third variant [light]: From unknown - older design, leaner, faster, had a thruster on the back of it for speed, light armor, would have been very maneuverable in it's newer state vs it's old state we saw in the film In the second film, Harkonnen's can be seen flying the medium type and the heavier type

Kynes was raised to hate the Harkonens by both kynes' father the imperial ecologist before Kynes as well as Kynes' fremen mother. But, the dream of the Fremen is a water rich green Arrakis so going against the emperor at this moment would be against that dream Kynes' family back story is only hinted at in Dune but is fleshed out in the Dune Encyclopedia that was written during Frank Herbert's life and he said he would never say if it was or was not canonical. Either way it is a great backstory with kynes' father stopping harkonens beating up fremen and figuring out the spice cycle.

@@NoneofyourBusiness-iv6piyeah. He actually didn’t care about emperor - only the fremen It was just a suicide to go against emperor, so he played along

@TheT26E4SuperPershing anakin?

@@erushi5503 which book?

The one thing I'll ding it on is how minimalist it feels, despite its scope. Any plot thread or character that doesn't need to be on screen isn't. LOTR had a richness in terms of the scope of what it showed, whereas Dune is very lean in order to keep its runtime down. Like I expected a lot of Piter only for him to be on screen for three minutes. Moreso for Yueh. It's not bad, but the minimalism does change the feeling a little and make it harder to connect deeply with characters since there's less time for them to show their personalities. Some more character moments, instead of just 'world' moments or moments for pacing, may have helped ground the characters better. LOTR it never felt like a character was there and then immediately gone, Dune very much felt like that. An excellent film, but almost a bit like Tenet (or perhaps Dunkirk is a bit kinder of a comparison) in how intentionally trimmed down parts of it were. I do hope Part 2 lets the characters breath a bit more (give us Gurney's balliset playing!).

Exactly the same thoughts I have as well. Watching this movie, there were so many moments that made me think of the LOTR trilogy

@@GrandHighGamer OMG, somebody *always* finds something to complain about.........! Dude, the movie is awesome.....relax already.

watch the original and pity that Jodorowsky's version didn't fly.

@RealityCheck 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♀️

The betrayal of dr. Yue was perhaps an even stronger factor in the defeat of House Atreides.

They also vastly overestimated the timeframe it would happen in. As in they thought they had more time to build an alliance with the Fremen and prepare. Still, the fact that they didn't have more people on watch has always bothered me. If you're expecting an attack, assume it's going to happen _right now_ just to be sure. Gurney and Duncan were smarter than that, they should have made it more difficult to catch the troops with their pants down

@@jakeg3733 Yeah. Why the f- weren't all their ships in the air anyway, all the time?

The Sardaukar numbered two legions, so 60,000 men. The Harkonnens sent ten legions, or 300,000 men. The Baron told Rabban it took him 60 years to save the money for the assault. I very much doubt the Harkonnens could have won on their own.

@@jeroenarendsen If he had revealed the plot at any time before the attack, the Harkonnens would have been slaughtered and a few captured Sardaukar could have been displayed to the Landsraad - triggering an all-out civil war that would have no doubt destroyed Houses Corrino and Harkonnen and many other Great Houses besides.

nah, he would not do that. that would expose his hand in the fall of the Atreides. The emperor would not remove his own plausible deniability by offing house Harkonnen on Dune with his sardukar army.

He thought he was genius, but ended up destroying both himself and his house doing this

@@jakeg3733 Only because he didn't take care of Paul when he was warned to do so.

He didnt need to weaken House Harkonenn as the were maybe rich, but highly unpopular among other houses a their military power was inferior in comparison to Imperial forces. On the other side House Atreides was serious threat from two big reasons - 1) Leto Atreides was very popular and recognized in Landsraad as he was true and charismatic leader and 2) foundation of Emperor power were Saurdakaur forces, which were superior to all other and all other Houses were afraid of them, but House Atreides has two best Swordmasters in Empire, Duncan and Gurney, and they succeeded to train small force of Atreides soldiers to Sardakaur level (maybe even surpass it)

It's easy to be a "genius" with power in your hands to call the shots. Also, the emperor has actually been acting stupid. Like the Baron says - the Emperor is a jealous man, a dangerous jealous man". He acted idiotically out of jealousy.

yeah I was surprised with the quality of his acting in this movie too.

Really, really good. At first I wondered how it was going to be because in the book Liet Kynes is a guy. She nailed the role. I hate any kind of arbitrary race or gender swapping (as in doing it for that purpose alone) but this was very well done and felt true to the spirit of the book

Ironically Tolkien hated Dune a lot but since being a gentleman he doesn't want to make a big thing out of this and jeopardy Herbert career so Tolkien kept this mostly to himself.

@@longwlenguyen4214 I chalk it up mostly to his catholic worldview. I mean an entire plot point to the books is how Bene Gesserat manipulate culture and religion. And the entire first book is in-part about creating a false-christlike character and the effect on the universe that it has. No strong Christian is going to sit well with those ideas.

If you think about it, the book Game of Thrones is a bit of a rip-off from Dune at least in the first arc, Eddard Stark the honorable man is chosen as Hand to the King the most powerful position a noble can ever dream of, he goes to the capital the beating heart of the realm but at the end of the day his hands are tied, he is betrayed and his retinue is slaughtered to the last man and woman while his children are either dead or on the run. If you change a few things it is basically the same thing, although the main difference is that the Atreides knew they were being sent into a trap, they just didn't know how complex the trap was or how far their enemies wanted them dead. Eddard Stark and his family on the other hand never saw the trap, in fact, they never will.

@@Ar1AnX1x Yeah Herbert is also a Conservative, an American Conservative but he more libertarian and his mistrust of Mcarthyism and the Republican due to the red scare and Nixon era. While Tolkien is more British Conservative, two different side but the same coin. Herbert multiple time show his dislike of Unionist and activist.

The Fremen have literally everything to lose. If they rise up their true numbers can be shown. They’ll be hunted whereas for now they’ve bribed the spacing guild to not have satellites over the planet so they can toil away with their plans to turn Arrakis into an oasis.

@@ryanquinn1257 the Harkonnen already hunted them. Leto wouldn't and no one could either with Leto still in control. They don't have to show their true numbers either. Just Stilgar and one or two other seitches could have turned the battle.

Spoilers: Leto gains the loyalty of his subjects by offering honor & fortune, but it’s really for his own gain & creating longevity for his lineage. In truth his aspirations were to become emperor himself, which later comes to fruition through his heir. Leto can actually be a quite calloused, calculated, & ruthless man to his enemies, which probably stems from his Harkonnen heritage.

@@peteravellaneda9499 Indeed. Leto is only honorable when it serves his interests and his aim from the beginning was to use the Fremen as his own army to fight back the Emperor and the Harkonnens. He would have had no interest in the Fremen if they were weak like the Palace people. It all came to fruition only after his death though.

Prolly would have happened if he had more time to build the alliance. Reputation is one thing but the Fremen don't know jack shit about the duke really.

@@kukuc96 That dude, costco_pizza literally goes into every Dune video and says this exact thing. He needs more to do if he has time for that.

@@costco_pizza wrong. The only reason the Atreides lost is because of Yueh's betrayal allowing the Harkonnen forces and Sardaukar to take them COMPLETELY by surprise.

New Hope was not only epic in 1977, it was the epic.

much like Trix, Star Wars is for kids that’s a good thing, doesn’t need to be anything it’s not

Dune and LoTR are both on a grand scale that Star Wars could only reach if Disney would get their priorities straight, which they can't. Even then, I think it would be tough because like you said Star Wars feels more fun, but Dune just sucks you into a dark, mesmerizing universe thanks to the quality of it's writing, and in the case of this movie the production

I agree. In Dune, he is Duncan Idaho, Swordman of Ginaz.

"every one is an improvement" ah yes, making the doctor a woman saved the movie. Imagine if the doctor had been a man? who could have taken the movie seriously? lol.

@@sl600rt Liet was born on Arrakis, half Fremen half whatever. The father Pardot Kynes was a different ethnicity. Liet embraced both the scientific approach of Pardot as well as the Fremen way of life. So it makes sense for him/her to look like the other members of their sietch.

@@sl600rt Well she is of African ethnicity while the Fremen are largely middle-eastern so even if that aspect matters a lot to you it still holds up. She played the role perfectly.

@@bengale9977 you're focusing too much on a very minor point

Well primarily white, primarily American, primarily republican men are shifting more and more towards the alt-right nowadays. It's pretty common, even if they'd deny it. I've not personally been surprised because I saw the exact same thing occur when the last jedi came out. Rather than take issue with the writing, guys like the EFAP crew, the quartering, and critical drinker, amongst many others used the opportunity to absolutely smear and some to even harass actors they decided they didn't like, primarily being women and minorities. Sure, they also pointed out the flaws in the writing, but they'd always find a way to wrap it around to people like daisy ridley being "woke" because at the end of the day the bad aspects of popular films are just a reason to further spew culture war rhetoric. The moment I saw Kynes was a black woman instead of a (Herbert never specified their race) *white* man, I knew what they'd do. It's sad how predictable it's become. They'll quote MLK without hearing a word he said.

Massive retweet. She played the role quite well and it didn't negatively impact the movie. I would even say it was a bit enhanced by it.

@@jukaa1012 you think making a movie isn't an ocd-fest

lol GenZs are all emotionally incontinent panzies who want to change their gender.

You obviously haven't seen David Lynch's Dune '84, or the Miniseries from 2000...

lol be quiet goofy. The gender and race swap is clearly pandering to woke politics. Woke politics are inherently weird.

A few complained about the genderswap for me my only gripe was they missed the chance to cast a famous older actor/actress to go into the footsteps of Max Von Sydow who played Kynes in the original movie. But they already have a star studded ensemble cast and dont have infinite money so it does make sense they cast someone lesser known. She did fantastic though and to be honest is more believable as a fremen than Max.

I always pictured Kynes as younger than Sydow. Or at least, younger than the character he portrayed. He often did this, which made me confused about his actual age in his last role, Game of Thrones - at 87. Liet Kynes as someone in their 30s-40s, like this actor, is pretty much exactly what I imagined. And I very much agree, Max was not at all believable as a Fremen. @@BlaneNostalgia

I hope they genderswap Leto Atreides II

"this is an ancient trope and custom which would definitely add to feudal future" I am not buying this because the Duneverse only has the weakest trappings of feudalism, and presumably Herbert put it there primarily to show that this far future human civilization was falling into decay. You can find more feudalism in a Jane Austen novel, with its strong patriarchy, plot stumbles caused by primogeniture, and intra-family arguments about status and money. If this Liet-Kynes character had much more screen time to be developed, it is conceivable that I could see your other arguments mattering even a little. But the movie, as it stands, is very laser focused on Paul's personal journey, and we do not have time for anything you just said to carry any weight for me.

@@ComradeOgilvy1984 In the book, Kynes and Chani don't share a single scene. The only time Kynes and Pardot speak is when Kynes is hallucinating, right before his death.
