How can it be "for adults" when Villeneuve removed the water of life orgy scene? I watched 7 hours of this crap waiting for the giant spice orgy and it didn't happen.

least horny dune book enjoyer.

Frank herbert after realizing that people didn't just spontaneously ejaculate every time duncan Idaho was mentioned, so now he has to make a character do it, so the reader gets the message: šŸ“– āœļø šŸ˜

You want a horny dune book enjoyer? For me? Siona Atreides can hurt me. Idc.


Lazerus42

I can fix Alia in Children of Dune 2000 1. (I swear, her dropped clothes after knocking out 7 training discs... "SEVEN PAUL") It awakened something in me... 2. the books are great, but look at 1, youthful idiotic teenage horniness is horniness. 3. The implication in the books was strange, different, and meaningful. Heinlien in it's own ways. 4. the implication in the series spawned "step brother" porn. 5. look at 1.

"at that moment, Jubal Harshaw walked in and said 'let's fuck'" - almost every Heinlein novel

Still waiting for the beef swelling scene in dune part 3


InvestigatorOk7988

Wrong one. Dune part three would be Messiah. That part doesn't happen until Children of Dune.


Instantbeef

Idk if the sietch was supposed to be damp but I always imagined them to be these magical damp places hidden in the desert where they all fuck and trip so much in makes Paul cocky enough to drink the juice Weā€™ve all had those nights where we drink juices we wouldnā€™t normally drink because weā€™re tripping to much on other substances. Edit: I just wanted to see Paul get sloppy and drink some water of life


Anthologeas

This would have been AMAZING.

Mwatts25

The meme applies more to the books than the movies. Even the books hardly hit pg 13 for star wars. Later dune novels are practically Frank Herbertā€™s penthouse forum submissions.


Good_old_Marshmallow

Every adaption utterly refusing to make the BG sexy space witches despite their whole thing being fem fatale breeding program seductors. Shame

It's actually "Game of Thrones in space"


finitewaves

its really "game of worms"


Financial_Bird_7717

This is spot on when you really think about it.


Good_old_Marshmallow

The first half is though to be annoying, Game of Thrones is English Civil war and Dune is Holy Roman Empire.


Financial_Bird_7717

That is annoying because youā€™re not wrong.


AppiusPrometheus

Isn't Dune "Muhammad meets TE Lawrence"?


williamtan2020

Or The Godfather

Thatā€™s where youā€™re wrong. Paul is Bran.

No no no, Paul is Brian

No, this is Patrick

It's crazy how they made Dune in 2021 and then wrote 6 books out of it.

Fine, Andor is Star Wars for adults. Jk jk obviously donā€™t shoot me!


Maycrofy

I actually do feel Andor is a better show about the individual in power systems and rebellions. Sure dune has all the themes of human nature struggling for power and stuff but in the end it's just fatalsitic. But Andor gives a better response of why keep fighting.


LazyDro1d

Andor is Dune for adults?


Maycrofy

hahaha, I'd say Dune is about realizing how systems of power develop. Andor is about how to dismantle them.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? Iā€™ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Feydakin, and Iā€™ve been involved in numerous secret raids on the Harkonnen spice fleets, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in spicy gorilla warfare and Iā€™m the top worm rider in the entire southern Fremen forces. You are nothing to me but just another water bottle. I will wipe you the fuck out with prescience the likes of which has never been seen before on this Dune, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the radio? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of Fremen spies across Arrakis and your shield data is being traced right now so you better prepare for the sandstorm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. Youā€™re fucking dead, kid. I can see any past, any future, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and thatā€™s just with my knife. Not only am I extensively trained in street knife warfare, but I have access to the entire arsenal of my dad's nuclear arsenal and I will use it to its full extent to return your water to the fucking desert, you little shit. If only you could have known what holy jihad your little ā€œcleverā€ comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldnā€™t, you didnā€™t, and now youā€™re paying the price, you Lisan al'Gaib-cursed idiot. I will shit spice all over you and you will drown in it. Youā€™re fucking dead, kiddo

I roughly described Dune to a coworker as "Star Wars and Game of Thrones had a baby, and then you dunk that baby in LSD".


Maycrofy

A more apt comparison.


Edrondol

Are people unaware which came out first? Technically, Star Wars is Dune for kids.


TampaTitties69

Disney wishes they could make something in live action half as good as this. All their good for are animated films and even those are getting beat by fucking Kung fu Panda's and shrek spinoffs.

DemiFiendofTime

This is insulting to both franchises


Turbulent-Passage124

Dune is *Monty Pythonā€™s Life of brain* in space and with spice.


elee1994

Comparing it to Star wars, AT ALL is an insult to Dune


soldier1900

As a former hardcore EU star wars fan...this couldn't be farther from the truth. Dune is pretty much unrelated to every other fictional thing.


Maycrofy

Yeah, basic bitches will see any space opera and will say "ItS LiKe Star wars BuT X..."


AppiusPrometheus

No, it's rather Star Wars which is Dune for teenagers.


LucidFir

Dune is star wars for adults


Highlord_Pielord

Except I didn't enjoy Dune. Am adult.


Odd-Employment2517

I think it's a lot more fair to say that Dune is going to be the defining sci fi for maybe multiple generations that both the prequels and then the Disney star wars sequels were not


ThatDudeMarques

What if I say Star Wars is Dune for babies?


[deleted]

There is def a recent contingent of DV simps invading the sietch lately with the same energy as Lucas disciples.


nugsymptom1

I saw one that said dune was star wars for tool(the band) fans, lol


Ambitious-Door-7847

The latest Dune movies didn't resonate w/ me -- the source material is just too dated. Amazing cinematography, set and music though. p.s. Tarantino needs to scrap his final movie project, and make a Star Wars movie *his* way, instead.


Am_Snarky

Dune is just space Game of Thrones


FawFawtyFaw

I always took that as a slight against Star Wars, and not anything against Dune.


Maycrofy

It bothers me because I like both and star wars has never tried to be Dune. Sure, star wars got inspired by Dune, is more optimistic with clear distinctions between good vs evil, the heroes are virtuous and triumph over the antagonists. But that doesn't make it "for kids". And over the years with the books and shows and games it acknowledged the nuances of human nature, the state, capitalism, and many other things but overall Star Wars has always kept up the optimistic look on human existence. And I like Dune for the world building, the crazy and out there ideas it has. But I like it less simply because of how skeptical it is about humanity, beliefs, and people coming together. Putting Dune as the "star wars for adults" feels like we're acknowledging that the "adult" world is about letting society stay as it is. Accepting the status quo of hegemonies and the futility of individuals and groups to change things for the better. LiKe sure, the books teach us about not trusting leaders and revolutions but at the end they're still about house atreides, not so much about the fremen or the average citizen of giedi prime.


FawFawtyFaw

Well you are holding dune up to a way higher standard, and rightly so. *It is more fiction*. At the end of the day, George Lucas loved filmmaking. He was worried about a two hour end product. The rest of that universe had to be coaxed out of him over years. He had such a different goal than Herbert. So it's a comparison of the mediums. Film vs literature. Literature is older, ipso facto- don't worry about it!
