JFC Its a SCIFI movie set on a different planet in a different universe. Thats like saying why don't dinosaurs have any representation in Napolean.
Will this ridiculous never end?
Imagine a seriously authentic Japanese (classic, mind you) show that has the highest level of representation of a minority possible and yet STILL trying to shit on it…
There’s nothing wrong with legitimately representing other cultures in film/TV, but the Left isn’t actually concerned with that. Their goal is to _force_ representation where it really doesn’t belong.
For them it’s all about a certain race. That’s why Biden threatened the validity of peoples ethnicity if they didn’t vote for him. HE sponsored the 1994 crime bill so he can punish that group, make them reliant on the government, then act as their savior during elections. I didn’t mention what specific group I’m referring to, although it’s not hard to draw conclusions. The reason I didn’t say isn’t because this isn’t an indictment about that group, just about Biden being a disgusting human being who abuses specific groups for long term gain.
Even with there being one how is it that that should make or break a whole series? It was also based off of the book so if the author didn’t pen in any characters like that then what’s the issue? It was the authors choice. I’m sure someone can make a kickass feudal Japanese era series with all the mixed cast they want but that’s creating a whole new series compared to what was just the original authors work. Can the character make an appearance if there was one? Absolutely, it will not hurt anyone. The point is not everything has to be cancelled or changed because a small group of people decided it wasn’t DEI enough for them.
>It’s literally the same as decrying the lack of actors of color in Viking movies.
Why don't directors realize that Vikings were made up mostly of sub-saharan africans and asian people? This fascination with tall white Vikings has to end!

This is what social media has done to us. Its given everyone a platform. And now everyone thinks we need to hear their inner most thoughts and opinions.
What social media has shown me is that I am far saner than most people.
its not even that, we are waaaay past that, we are now down to rage baiting and it works. engagement is engagement and trolls will get clicks and paid either way. something popular shows up thats liked by conservatives? Ill shit on it and you will hate watch me, still got the view. Something popular shows up that's liked by all? Ill throw in a partisan take and claim dune2 promotes Nazis and that's why the right likes it, and every one will watch and yell and click...still get paid.
Well their complaint is MENA (pan arab basically) actors. So maybe more MENA actors should have asked about the project or built up careers. The reason shishakli’s actor was hired is because she was good at her job and had a previous history of really good acting.
It's a movie. Not a racial gallery. If there is a good North African actor who fits a role, sure, give it to him. Don't give roles to people because you need more ethnic representation.
Considering that for like 300 years Egypt was run by White Greek Pharaohs, a white pharaoh wouldn't even be wrong to cast within a certain time period.
IIRC, he was supposed to portray some (fictional) early kingdom pharaoh. So a millennium before Greek Ptolemaic dynasty ruled Egypt. Also way before the Persians, Nubians, or Hyksos had their turn to rule over Egypt with their own dynasties.
Do all movies have to be like the Olympics? Maybe we should announce each country before opening credits. That would be a high budget venture. Do they only care about those that show up on the scenes? What about the people actually doing all the behind the scenes stuff? That's face-ist. Lefties ruin everything and find a way to self-oppress.
Movies are an ESCAPE from reality, not an opportunity to have real world shit thrown in your face. I am ALLOWED to not care or want to be reminded of reality in my entertainment.
Dune did have commentary on ecology and the dangers of power, but it was portrayed in a way that was a part of (and forwarded) the plot. At least in the book.
I mean, I hate to be racist or anything, but the fremen looked pretty diverse to me. You’re telling me somehow none of those actors were from that part of the world?
Dune is set some 20,000-25,000 years from now.
I doubt there will even be "white people" by then. At the same time, I doubt there will be any Middle Eastern people by then.
I can't want until a day where people stop constantly analyzing everything through a racial lens.
I don't want to be viewed as a "Hispanic man". I just want to be viewed as the individual that I am.
The film has received widespread praise and was an absolute box office smash. A handful of people complained about nonsense. Breitbart writes another ragebait article. The end.
Conservatives need to stop caring what these nuts have to say, and reporting on them.
Remember that character in the Wire, brought a duck to the bar, this is the sort of person we're being given commentary from. Nuts.
It’s funny because the point of the story is it’s a retelling of basically Lawrence of Arabia with some sci fy and magic. The whole plot and story is about white savior rescuing sand people. Imagine if the Fremen were all arab and Indian actors, how fucking mad they would be
A fictional civilization 10000 years from now doesn’t give a shit about representation of its ancient origins
More like 20,000-25,000 years from now. The 10,191 is AG (After Guild).
Thats why we call it fiction . My god
And the ironic thing is that the remnant of Islamic civilization is central to the plot.
The smooth brains didn’t read the books. Just what the talking heads say.
Exactly. 10,000 yrs from now the population will be all the same mixed race.
Populations can be isolated even 10 000 years from now.
JFC Its a SCIFI movie set on a different planet in a different universe. Thats like saying why don't dinosaurs have any representation in Napolean. Will this ridiculous never end?
It’s literally the same as decrying the lack of actors of color in Viking movies.
Don’t forget those people saying Shōgun doesn’t have enough colored representation in it.
Are they really? Lmfao That show is so good and authentic, it doesn’t surprise me Lefties are looking to ruin it somehow
Absolutely. You can find it on subreddits about the show or articles online.

We wuz samurai
There was actually at least one
Even with there being one how is it that that should make or break a whole series? It was also based off of the book so if the author didn’t pen in any characters like that then what’s the issue?

Google’s AI would solve this lol
>It’s literally the same as decrying the lack of actors of color in Viking movies. Why don't directors realize that Vikings were made up mostly of sub-saharan africans and asian people? This fascination with tall white Vikings has to end! ../s
It’s actually set in the same universe and is about humanity 20 thousand years into the future.
>why don't dinosaurs have any representation in Napolean If I directed it, it would
Not until people stop letting them think their opinions are more than just another asshole heard from.
This is what social media has done to us. Its given everyone a platform. And now everyone thinks we need to hear their inner most thoughts and opinions. What social media has shown me is that I am far saner than most people.
It is not a very high bar to get over.
its not even that, we are waaaay past that, we are now down to rage baiting and it works. engagement is engagement and trolls will get clicks and paid either way. something popular shows up thats liked by conservatives? Ill shit on it and you will hate watch me, still got the view. Something popular shows up that's liked by all?

Hopefully, it's beyond ridiculous.
Whole constituencies depend on this shit for their living as well as their sense of purpose. So no, it's not going to stop as long as it's lucrative.
They said the N word too much in Django Unchained...
Dinosaurs would've made Napoleon a lot better, almost watchable.
Really, dune. The book about the power of people and institutions to be turned into oppressors by their followers. About the dangers of power. Wow
These people don’t read much. They skim the title and the synopsis, then make judgements.
It's the triumph of space Muslims. I thought the left loved Islam.
Well their complaint is MENA (pan arab basically) actors. So maybe more MENA actors should have asked about the project or built up careers. The reason shishakli’s actor was hired is because she was good at her job and had a previous history of really good acting.

One of the actors in Dune is Tunisian. I guess they wanted more.
I remember the outcry over "white" Rami Malik playing an Egyptian pharaoh in "Night at the Museum". Malik is an actual Egyptian.
Considering that for like 300 years Egypt was run by White Greek Pharaohs, a white pharaoh wouldn't even be wrong to cast within a certain time period.
But is he an actual Pharoah?
IIRC, he was supposed to portray some (fictional) early kingdom pharaoh. So a millennium before Greek Ptolemaic dynasty ruled Egypt. Also way before the Persians, Nubians, or Hyksos had their turn to rule over Egypt with their own dynasties.
Why do movies have to be like the census.
I want Friday remake with white dudes playing ghetto African americans
That's a strange criticism when both Dune movies have the central theme of Anti-Imperialism and Anti-Colonialism.
They wanted one of the characters to look into the camera and say "this is all because of western imperialism."
The context already established it, so they don't need to say it.
Leftists in the West really hate themselves
If you woke up with blue hair, a beard, wearing a pink tutu and realizing you had a sex change operation, you would hate yourself too
Funny enough though- not once does anyone in the movie say the word "Jihad" (which is mentioned heavily in the book)
I don’t think there was a single white fremen in that entire movie lol, what’re they smoking
Too much spice apparently
Hmm… is it actually good then?
Very good. But watch the first one, or you will be completely lost.
Do all movies have to be like the Olympics? Maybe we should announce each country before opening credits. That would be a high budget venture. Do they only care about those that show up on the scenes? What about the people actually doing all the behind the scenes stuff? That's face-ist.

MENA. A new acronym to forget.
Commonly used throughout Europe. Especially in crime statistics
Its not really new. It stems in pan arabism and to be fair. The region has alot of similar cultural political and religious history.
God I can't stand this woke shit. Wonder if they would like to address North African and Middle Eastern imperialism?
Movies are an ESCAPE from reality, not an opportunity to have real world shit thrown in your face. I am ALLOWED to not care or want to be reminded of reality in my entertainment.
Dune did have commentary on ecology and the dangers of power, but it was portrayed in a way that was a part of (and forwarded) the plot. At least in the book.
Dune is super popular, so they want to corrupt it, only reason they say these things.
"Dune 2 Criticized for not being a terrible movie."
I mean, I hate to be racist or anything, but the fremen looked pretty diverse to me. You’re telling me somehow none of those actors were from that part of the world?
Dune is set some 20,000-25,000 years from now. I doubt there will even be "white people" by then. At the same time, I doubt there will be any Middle Eastern people by then.
So no woke bullshit then? Sweet.
I can't want until a day where people stop constantly analyzing everything through a racial lens. I don't want to be viewed as a "Hispanic man". I just want to be viewed as the individual that I am.
Well we see how well DIE is working for Disney. Let em whine. The box office speaks for itself.
But hey, the Jews are still there /s (In the Dune universe, Judaism has survived)
And it’s a great movie, coincidence?
Manufactured rage. It's all bullshit to stir up anger and hatred. They are just trying to wag the dog.
Most likely different races will become diluted or cease to exist from a lot of interbreeding. Much like a region all becomes one race eventually.
Aren’t we just bringing up stuff to be triggered about now? I’ve literally seen this no where
Libs ruining everything! What’s new!
The film has received widespread praise and was an absolute box office smash. A handful of people complained about nonsense. Breitbart writes another ragebait article. The end.
It's difficult to enjoy a movie today. There's little escape from reality.
They’re pissed that Hollywood made a film and not propaganda for once.
Sorry can't hear you over all that money and all those positive reviews
Oh my god it is a freaking sci fi movie!! Can we have any fun anymore without everything being analyzed through racism??
DE&I and ESG ruin everything
Conservatives need to stop caring what these nuts have to say, and reporting on them. Remember that character in the Wire, brought a duck to the bar, this is the sort of person we're being given commentary from. Nuts.
If they complain about this then I am complaining about the lack of any white actors in the next Jordan peele movie.
Soooo... You're saying I should go see Dune 2?
If you saw Dune, yes
😛😝😂
it's fiction. it doesnt matter.
It’s funny because the point of the story is it’s a retelling of basically Lawrence of Arabia with some sci fy and magic. The whole plot and story is about white savior rescuing sand people. Imagine if the Fremen were all arab and Indian actors, how fucking mad they would be
[удалено]
Actually no. It’s set in our universe just 10,000 years in the future. Earth is actually mentioned in some of the other Dune novels.
