There was a whole episode of Billy and Mandy that was a retelling of God Emperor of Dune. It went into the future where Mandy had assumed control of earth and became immortal by becoming a half-worm hybrid and was served by an endless stream of Billy clones that fulfilled the role of Duncan Idaho’s gholas. Then she predicted an assassination attempt by a conspiracy and alerted her past self so she could stop it. And her main powers came from cinnamon. Shit was wild; they don’t make cartoons like that anymore
I've been trying to find clips of that episode but can't, I'm overdue to just buy the full Billy and Mandy dvd set, it's almost as good as Dune! Well...
This really helped explain why I felt the movie, especially sand worms, was so familiar, while not having had heard of Dune before now. When in reality it's been subliminally there my whole life.
I didn’t know anything about dune, didn’t know that there were previous movies or even about the book. When I watched Dune 1, I thought “wow, just like in SpongeBob” 😂. I thought it was like one of those Simpsons predictions things.
The base of Space Fantasy like Dune and Star Wars is actually Asimov's Foundation series. Herbert borrowed heavily from Asimov. Even down to space travel without complex computers/androids. Pretty interesting. The Mule is where the ideas of The Force come into play, as well as the Voice in Dune. While I do see your point, I would still give the hat tip to Asimov over Herbert as the base most Modern Sci-fi draws from.
Many elements of Star Wars are pretty much lifted straight from Dune to the point that plagiarism is suspect. The Jedi mind control trick is literally the voice power of the Bene Gesserit.
Dude George Lucas stole a lot of that s*** when he was in Japan watching space battleship Yamamoto a producer in cartoon named Gary Franks brought the copyrights and brought it over to the United States and then they got into a lawsuit with Lucas film. Which is kind of odd because battleship Yamamoto was running in Japan from 74 to 76 and they going to hit him with copyright they are they out of thin damn mind and guess where George Lucas was in the early seven in Japan stealing their s*** and they got the nerve to sue him for buying the American license rights to use battleship Yamamoto which Gary Frank later changed to #Starblazers
If he really did admit on using Dune as a reference, everyone would've known that already for a long time I only heard his statement about it recently when the recent movie got released smh
Star Craft has references to pretty much all sci-fi up to the late 90's, including dead worms on the desert maps. Star Craft II has the Nydus Worm, of course.
I remembered watching that Spongebob Squarepants episode as a kid and didn't understand the "worm sign" joke at first, thinking it was a little too random. that is until I read the book as a grown man and now it's one of the best jokes ever 🤣

Rugrats: Digging in that sand isn't a very good idea. ... Aw nothin'. Unless a sandworm crawls out and eats ya up! An episode of Rugrats had Chuckie and Angelica switch shoes and that switched their personalities. Chuckie watched Dune with Chaz too often, or often enough.
Dune is one of those series that, before the new movies, was popular but still niche. But its influence is everywhere. Dune is to sci fi what Lord of the Rings is to fantasy.

I originally had it! But unfortunately, I couldn't get a good clean audio clip without too much of the movie's sound underneath. Hope "We've got movie sign!" can be enough for now haha
Also in Silicon Valley's Season 2 Finale, Elrich says "The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it. Frank Herbert, Dune" when the gang debates to erase Pied Piper.
But it’s complete bullshit, George Lucas admitted to ripping off the movie “the hidden fortress” which was a samurai film and combined that with flash Gordon’s more sci-fi tropes. If you want to be outraged about Star Wars be outraged that it stole from two other things not the completely bogus dune bs that gets circulated.

I’m impressed they included a clip from Earthworm Jim!
You forgot Tom Servo screaming, " I WILL kill him!!!!!" It was kind of a running thing in the Joel Hodgson years. :)
I originally had it! But unfortunately, I couldn't get a good clean audio clip without too much of the movie's sound underneath. Hope "We've got movie sign!" can be enough for now haha
Maybe you can release a slower version of this so we can hear and see it all properly. It was much too fast for me. Thanks!
Also in Silicon Valley's Season 2 Finale, Elrich says "The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it. Frank Herbert, Dune" when the gang debates to erase Pied Piper.
OK, now you need to do a video of Dune references in music.
In Hellsing, Seras’ cannon is called the 30mm Anti-Midian Cannon “Harkonnen”. Would’ve been nice to include a shot of it firing.
I was so glad to see the call out of Star Wars and everything it stole from Herbert
But it’s complete bullshit, George Lucas admitted to ripping off the movie “the hidden fortress” which was a samurai film and combined that with flash Gordon’s more sci-fi tropes. If you want to be outraged about Star Wars be outraged that it stole from two other things not the completely bogus dune bs that gets circulated.
@@hexogramd8430 this is wrong. He drew inspiration from both .

@@hexogramd8430 mate he clearly takes lots of inspiration from many things. Doesn't devalue the achievement, but you'd be stupid to think that star wars could even have existed without dune
