The same people who fell asleep during Dune 1 because it was "boring" also....

Are the ones who are constantly telling you to read the super boring intricacies of capital vol 1... makes you think

I thought dune 1 and 2 were both great but I unironically did fall asleep for segments of both of them. in my defense i was really comfy at the time
I fell asleep during dune because it takes more than a day to read
- What? And you missed out on the gom jabbar and the kwisatz haderach, and the landsraad and the bene gesserit, and doodloo mcdoodloo and the plunket splanket and all the other sesame street sounding words?

back in my day dune 1 used to mean that weird old dune videogame.
and dune 2 used to mean that westwood rts.
KIDS THESE DAYS
The syfy miniseries is the superior version. Superfans of Villeneuve (AKA Dennis Newton) act like they’ve never seen a movie before. I will die on this hill (or dune). Come at me, Harkonnen scum.
- the virgin generic sci-fi armor vs the gigachad space landsknecht
  the miniseries wins just by virtue of having actual color, I'm so fucking tired of the desaturated color grading trend
  
  To be fair the new Sardaukar aren't that bad, at least more memorable design than basically everything other in that movie. But you're right about the desaturation, it's crazy, Giedi Prime was literally all in blinding white and grayscale (though that would explain why Gammu was so fucked up in Heretics era).
- I disagree the 1985 adaptation is the most pure as it has Patrick Stewart cradling a pug while blasting Harkonnen scum
  
  Just watched dune 2 and yeah I'm gonna say I like lynch more. Read the books several times. I like the new visuals but ffs the dialogue the casting the choices are so childish imho. At least lynch just decided let's be crazy lol
- I like Villeneuve because of his grounded, visual storytelling, his ability to get the most out of his actors, and whoever he hires to do cinematography. He's been my favorite director since I realized he did most of my favorite game of thrones episodes.
  Villeneuve's dune is my new favorite movie. There was also something special about finishing the book for the first time, then watching P1 and P2 for the first time, all within 3 days.
  
  Villeneuve is my fav director too. I don’t think he directed any game of thrones episodes though
- Miniseries sietch!
They just love snoozing.
dune 1 > dune 2 imo
- Dude Kung fu panda 4 > dune 2
  
  Easily
- Would you mind going into detail?
  
  I liked it more than the second one so it's objectively better and anyone who disagrees is wrong
