IarwainBenAdar Link ParentI'm not the person who compared it to "Hamlet is alive" I'm just saying my big gripe with the new movie. Like I said I understand things getting switched but Chani seems to have lost so much.I'm not the person who compared it to "Hamlet is alive" I'm just saying my big gripe with the new movie.

The last words of the book are Jessica saying to Chani "We who carry the name of concubine -- history will call us wives"
Leaving it like that really worries me that they are going to make a big movie plot point a 'love triangle' between Chani and Irulan
Dune Messiah spoilers
Which is ridiculous because the big relationship thing in Messiah was Irulan getting so upset that Paul wouldn't love her or give her a child she joined the conspiracy against him and poisons Chani with contraceptives.Dune is one of my favorite series, and while I'm disappointed Alia wasn't born in the movie, I accept it makes sense for a movie and was probably a good decision. I completely disagree with how they ended things with Chani and think they will need to pretty seriously change the story around for this next movie.
Since they announced the first Dune movie I wanted so bad for Villeneuve to get to Dune Messiah, to see how he does Muad'Dib's throne, and I'm excited to at least get to see that.
Edit: I'm not the person with the Hamlet thing, I'm just saying what I think was the biggest non-Dune thing, because Herbert bashed that point over our head with Jessica and Leto doing the same thing. I really liked the new movie, and the only thing I actively disliked was the very final scene

Comment on Pittsburgh smokers more inclined to say jagoff than yinz in ~humanities.languages
IarwainBenAdar Link ParentI'm from a more rural part of little pocket around Cleveland and Pittsburgh, what do people say instead of 'needs washed'? Its about time to wash/do the dishes? The dishes need done? Using cuss...I'm from a more rural part of little pocket around Cleveland and Pittsburgh, what do people say instead of 'needs washed'? Its about time to wash/do the dishes?

Using cuss for a generic cuss word was also done in the Fantastic Mr Fox movie by Wes Anderson, so it's not entirely regional.
My biggest complaint was the very ending, with Chani riding off on a worm alone, especially because in the movie it really didn't seem to me like Chani really cared for Paul, where in the books they already had a child together that was killed in the attack before the emperor came to Dune. And for a time constraint I think you could have had the discussion between Jessica and Chani in the same time as her riding off alone. I think it was a good movie, the gladiator fight was phenomenal and worth the admission by itself, and I guessed most of the major changes, this one just rubs me the wrong way.
I'm not the person that compared it to Hamlet is alive, I'm just saying my biggest gripe. The comment I immediately replied to was talking about major plot changes, suggesting ending on the war or omission of the Spacing Guild, but I don't think either of those effect the story from this point, so I'm just saying what I see as the biggest difference going forward.
I would really like to see Dune get a TV/streaming series à la Game of Thrones, there is too much going on for movies, I say the same thing for Lord of the Rings.
