Let’s Talk Dune 2020 Trailer

<name redacted to avoid spoilers> totally counters all of that in Chapter House by being super alpha with his own version, so the woman wins thing is a mute point for people to get uppity about if they want to. Herbert wrote Chapter House in 1985, and he had already created a world in four prior books where a sect of women were massively powerful in the galaxy. The setting was already there, organically, so anyone who instantly tries to label anything in Dune as “powerful wamen being Mary Sues” is doing it just to be angry and find a reason to pick a fight.

I hate everything SJW and “strong wamen”, but I’ll take on anyone who tries to say that Dune has any of that in it. Everything done by Herbert and then his kid and KJ Anderson was all organic and masterful. As long as the stories are adapted faithfully, there should be no reason to complain from anyone.

I felt a little robbed with Sandworms ending the first time I read it because of my general like for Paul as a protagonist over all the others, but when I went back and did a re-read from post first half of the series, it made sense and I appreciated it more. Yeah, as a writer I would have made a couple changes here and there, but I respect how it was laid and worked out. There was a plan, and it was followed and executed very well. Honestly, Herbert’s stuff is metaphysically dense and needs digesting sometimes. It gets worse when a guy like David Lynch takes a shit all over it just to fuck with your head and your senses.

It is especially fun if you line up parts of the Children of Dune mini series soundtrack at some points, especially during the final battle when Leto II returns to himself, listening to Summon the Worms and The Jihad bring it to life.

I only ever stayed with the main story, so I have no opinion on the prequel books or extra stuff.
