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 Still feels like that will very much be what the general audience will take away from the movies. But fingers crossed!
@Mimesatwork people definitely had that takeaway with the second, I can’t tell you how may angry reviews I read about how awful it was that Villeneuve “ruined” the character by making him a bad guy in 2
@checkervest I also saw some reactions that amounted to "whoa, he's fully locked in now, let's just hope he doesn't turn to the dark side" and I'm just... babygirl at which point did you think either religious control or military control was a good side?
@Mimesatwork one of the reviews I read that haunted me was someone irritated that they’d taken the joke of Stilgar being convinced he was the Lisan al-Gaib too far and it wasn’t funny anymore by the end of the movie and I wanted to scream YES. YES that is the POINT babe
