Dune sicko on main kind of day
I’ve said this here before but I was so scared it was going to be horrible until I watched that first trailer and saw the headboard of Paul’s bed was exactly as described in the books, if someone was going to have that level of attention to detail I knew I’d love it. Also seeing the ornithopters in the trailer completely took me out, that design is so good
Dune sicko who read the book at least once a year since I was 11 or 12, watching the gom jabbar scene: 
Thinking about the portrait and the bull 😭
It is absolutely the funniest thing imaginable that Frank Herbert wrote a book about how you should never trust charismatic messianic leaders and how people like Paul are the bad guys and the hero’s journey is bullshit and he got so incensed when everyone said “wow! Paul!! What a great hero!!” that he immediately wrote a second book calling them all dumbasses
@checkervest I saw this meme on bsky yesterday
@carithlee oh this is so good
@checkervest @carithlee Wait until they see Paul’s son!
@carithlee @checkervest Book 3: Would you still think I'm bad if I was a worm?
@catdad @carithlee @checkervest Book four: Yinz Didn't Believe Me When I Said Bad, Did You?
@carithlee @checkervest this is great...i find the books impenetrable (my own shortcomings) but I've heard the Herbert was very specifically trying to tell the messiah bad storry...and no one followed it. On a similar level Lucas mad a story about Space faciest and i always felt the public never truley got it. Vader is HUGE in cosplay and the 501st is a HUGE charity org...butbtheir the baddies?
