would love to hear your opinion of the movie after you read the first book
Austin Butler as Feyd Rautha was my favorite part of the movie. That fight scene at the end was sooo good
Likewise
I went with some friends and one of them said that the Brad Pitt vs Eric Bana fight scene in Troy was better...

“You’ve had a couple of days to watch it, so let’s talk spoilers!”
The movie came out yesterday Sean, I’ve had one da… awe what am I talking about, of course I’ve already seen it!
It came out Thursday afternoon. Where I'm at over 48 hours had passed since public showings were happing.
@@SeanChandlerTalksAboutread people’s comments fully before you respond 😂
@@SeanChandlerTalksAboutin Miami, dune 2 came out Friday so I only had 1 day lol
@@tmac731so then wait to watch the spoilers video
As somebody who didn’t like the first movie that much until the 3rd viewing, dune 2 might be the greatest movie ever. My question is, how do they get off the worm?
Regarding your comment on Chani gradually switching sides and becoming a believer, that never really happened. She never wanted Paul to become a messiah figure and detested the idea of her people becoming radicalised by religious fervor. You can see in the final scene how she was the only Fremen who didn’t kneel before him or cheer when he ordered them to begin the holy war. All she ever really wanted was for Paul to just assimilate into the Fremen community and fight alongside them as a fellow comrade, instead of being elevated onto a pedestal and worshipped like a god.
Chani and Irulan are the only characters that do not kneel to Paul. That is not so much because they don't recognize his "divinity" (other who don't either do kneel, like the Emperor). I think it is more to make the point that Chani and Irulan are elevated to Paul's equals in the story.
I think he meant Chani’s friend and not Chani herself
Zendaya can't have her cake n eat it two
He was talking about Chani's friend, the girl who Chani is sitting next to in the tent who explains to Paul the difference between the Southern and Northern tribes' belief systems. She was a mostly background character, but Sean's point was how well this character was used to help tell the story.
Chani is a great character and easily my favorite thing about this movie. Zendaya gave a strong performance.
I loved that short scene where she is running across the desert to Paul rocket launcher in hand, laughing, giggling as a burning ornothopter falls from the sky.
Any critic who reviewed Dune: Part 2 without rewatching Dune 2021 is commiting malpractice.
I'm not sure who or what you're responding to, but I rewatched Dune 2021, Dune 1984, and Dune the mini-series before reviewing Dune 2. And I watched Dune 2 twice before filming this.
@@SeanChandlerTalksAboutDefinitely not talking about you
@@SeanChandlerTalksAboutpretty sure he’s not talking about you bro
@@SeanChandlerTalksAbout I think he meant this as a broad statement
@@DarthEqualizeryou wanna talk about a broad statement, take my wife!
The Critisism that the battle was watched from the inside is true, but in the book it’s only from the inside and get NOTHING from outside. At least the movie added some
True. From the sounds of it, it seems like many of the aspects that people are saying they didn’t get much of in the movie you get even less of in the book.
Pretty much especially any action stuff that's been either extended or created cuz in the book there's hardly any action n usually action happens off page lol like rabban is killed off page n so forth alot of stuff that's in the movie r only mention or a word or not even mention book doesn't describe mich action lol
In the book it came off more as a massacre at least when I read it and I'm glad it was depicted like that in the film
This was an insane IMAX experience with a full crowd that i absolutely enjoyed! Even before the Warner Bros logo came, my theater were already grabbing their seats tightly because of the Sandworm's sound which was pretty incredible
Most Shocking Part to me is when Paul Took The Water of life and found out the history of his mom and he and his mom are harkonnen my Jaw dropped
Totally copied Rey Palpatine. ;)
@@mckeoncrawford9262you realize the book this movie is based on was made before Star Wars episode 4 right lol
That's why they dropped the wink at the end.
@mckeoncrawford9262 nah, cause that makes no sense, whereas the harkonenen twist does make sense.
@@CliffKarrow thanks. They still don't notice.
the scene where Feyd-Rautha tests his knife by cutting the woman’s throat and repeatedly stabbing the other woman elicited multiple groans from our audience. it was truly disturbing. However, I will say, I think that people hyped up Feyd-Rautha to be an insane psychopath, and the movie did portray him as that but I thought he’d be more aggressive and relentless. I guess that has to do with the PG-13 rating. But hey I still think it was a great character.
Thought he was about as relentless as they could get away with
I think what you just described makes him pretty dang aggressive and relentless. He's also portrayed as a complete sadist who derives satisfaction from causing pain including when his own uncle dies
Killing multiple people isn't aggressive enough for you? 😂 You wanted him to burn babies alive or something?
I had happy tears in that final battle. And chills multiple times. Im going to start Dune Messiah next week! Cant wait for the sequels and spin offs. Give me everythingggg
Game of Thrones was based on Dune with Wars of the Roses stepping in for the foundation of the Targaryens:
What GRRM borrowed from Dune:
AC (After Conquest) = AG (After Guild)
House Stark = House Atreides
House Targaryen = House Corrino (Emperor and his family)
House Lannister = House Harkonnen (exponentially worse)
Wildlings (Freefolk) & Dothraki = Fremen
Maesters = Mentats
R’hlor & the red priestesses/priests = Bene Gesserit & Missionaria Protectiva
Dragons = Sandworms
Faceless Men = Face Dancers
Iron Bank = Spacing Guild & Lansraad
Three-Eyed Raven = Kwisatz Haderach
Jon = Paul
Ygritte = Chani
Mance Rayder = Stilgar
Joffrey & Ramsay = Feyd & Rabban
Petyr Baelish (Littlefinger) want Catelyn = Piter De Vris (Harkonnen mentat) wants Jessica (in the book)
Maester Luwin = Thufir Hawat (Atreides mentat)
Jorah Mormont, Beric Dondarrion, Tyrion Lannister, Rodrik Cassel,
& Syrio Forel = Duncan Idaho & Gurney Hallek
Jon goes north (mostly alone) = Paul walks into the desert (end of Dune Messiah)
Trial by Combat = The Amtal Rule
- Ned Stark and Leto Atreides. They are honorable to their own detriment. Both have to leave home to perform their duty somewhere else.
- Fraternal Twins: Jamie & Cersei = Leto II & Ghanima (except no incest.)
- Fremen send bats with messages = sending ravens
This (GOT)way is the only way DUNE could be truly successful. The movies are a beautiful disaster
About the final battle, in the book Frank Herbert notoriously doesn’t describe the battles. Just, and then they fought, or something like that. But he doesn’t describe the fights, more people in a room talking about what is going on around them. So the battle we got is way more than what’s in the book. That being said I would still have loved to see more of a fight like you said. Just something to keep in mind.
After seeing this twice, there's not many sequels I would take over this
I wasn't able to see Two Towers in theaters.... this made up for that
Dark knight, Dawn of the planet of the apes, empire strikes back, aliens, blade runner 2049, return of the king, Indiana Jones and the last crusade, Spider-Man 2, terminator 2, the godfather part 2?

@@Henry-fn1zw what do you mean 4/10? His list is pretty much correct
I loved your analysis during the Stilgar: The Believers sections! As you mention, the film does a great job of setting things up so that you can simultaneously feel the dread of the Holy War that is coming while also celebrating and feeling the rejoicing of the Freman as their Messiah is “leading them to paradise.” And I think it’s so great because both reactions and feelings are valid and resonate, even as they are directly competing.
I agree with your point about the final battle.
Everything was building up towarss this epic battle scene, and we get that 20-30 second one-shot take that reminded me of the Jon Snow one in the Battle of the Bastards, and then you cut to the throne room.
I feel like we could have seen more of the battle itself.
The way I saw it after walking out is as if in Return of the King after you see Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli arriving on the boats to Osgiliath, you would just cut directly to the battle being over and that shot of the ghosts entering Minas Tirith
Even if I don't always agree with you I love how you talk in such a casual and likable way while thoroughly explaining your perspective and experience with something in such an understandable way. Keep up the great work! I adored this film!
Dude I'm genuinely shocked how underrated your channel is. Your presentation, production and the topics you cover are perfect to me. Thanks for the entertainment
I just got home from my showing of it. If nothing else, it looks PHENOMENAL and everyone brings a great performance.
Both part 1 and 2, in my opinion act as clip notes or as a personal guide to help me progress through the book. Even with the changes, the film has helped me understand the novel more effectively, thus making the read more enjoyable. I absolutely am obsessed with this lore rn.
I agree. Personally I’m someone who prefers to watch a film adaptation rather than the original book.
The best part about your channel, compared to all other film/show reviewers on TH-cam, is that I can learn new things about films/shows from you, AFTER I watched them myself. You just made me discover a ton of extra connections, plot points, and ideas within Dune 1 and 2 that I never noticed after watching both films back-to-back.
Time to watch this like 3 more times in Dolby
All imma say is this: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth was my second most anticipated thing of this year. This movie was worthy of putting down the game for a few hours. It was phenomenal, and Denis Villeneuve made something truly special with this film! Definitely my favorite movie of the year now!
what competition really is there for favourite movie of the year though😂
@@thefoxcritic1 Society of The Snow. That was a fantastic film too. I saw Robot Dreams now even tho it was a 2023 film, but seeing as how the U.S. is only getting it now in 2024, that’s another great film right there as well
@@NinthShinigami Society of the Snow is also a 2023 film that got a US release later. Doesn't really count imo but yeah you could make that argument.
@@thefoxcritic1 ah tru that 😅 well either way, they weren’t officially released in my country til 2024 that’s my defense 😤😂
@@NinthShinigami 😂
One of the best sequels ever and you’re videos on it have been excellent!
Am I the only one who while watching the end of the movie where Lady Jessica goes "He's going to war with the Houses", thought of Yoda's line from the end of Attack of the Clones "Begun, the Clone Wars has"?
Excited to watch this! I hope you get to read the book sometime
After watching this last night I can say without a doubt it will probably be my #1 movie of the year only Deadpool and Wolverine will come close to knocking it off probably. I will say the Knife Fight for the Ages at the end was so awesome. It seems like a must to put music into a final fight but to have no music and just hear all the hits and stabs was the much better choice.
The way you outlined the subversion in this film was great. Especially compared with the recent tragedies that are the recent Star Wars which made horrible attempts at it.
I loved it I am going to see it again next week
Love your shirt! Make sure you promote your merch 👍🏻👍🏻 Gotta get one of those
I agree the Emperor is underdeveloped. I feel like Princess Irulan (the Emperor's daughter) is actually more developed (and more empowered) in the movie than in the novel. She is basically a side character in Dune, but becomes more important in the next two books. Denis anticipated a little bit her future role as being in league with the BG and an agent of the Reverend Mother.
You can see how Chani and Irulan are elevated to Paul's equals when they are the only characters who do not kneel before Paul in the throne room scene.
Note that Irulan never says either that she will be submissive. She says she will be a willing bride if Paul spares his father. But her dialogue with the Reverend Mother makes it clear, at least in DV's version, that Irulan is making a play to keep her House in power even when her father is dethroned. That is why I think Denis makes Irulan a more powerful and scheming character in the movie than in the book.
I agree. I’m curious if when they do part 3 if there going to follow the plot of one of the other Dune books or if it’s going to be a combination of different plot lines from the other Dune books
Been waiting for this
It is really interesting. This movie was already very long, and I agree with Sean that there aren’t really any “wasted” scenes. Everything that’s in this movie is awesome. So I can’t easily pick out things to change without adding to the runtime.
I just feel like the second half of the movie skipped out on details/development for the sake of action. It’s a very minor gripe (again I loved the movie). I’m just with Sean on this also where I wish some of the scenes (how Feyd found the Fremen so quickly once he arrived, the battle to the throne room, the fight between Gurney and Rabban, etc). They were all good but I would have loved to see a bit more done for those
Fascinating that the Last Jedi is seen so differently. Your description of successful subversion is spot on for Dune and for TLJ in by mind. Those two movies are some of the best theatre experiences I've ever had. Somethings just hit differently for everyone!
Just recently watched this movie, and it was fantastic! This is exactly what Hollywood needs.
Just got back from seeing it
My review: With a phenomenal score and spectacular storytelling and visuals, Dune Part 2 is an entertaining sci-fi film thanks to Chalamet's compelling performance and Villeneuve's direction.
I thinkthe best way is to see both movies together, it makes more sense to the story and gives more of a closure to the story.
I was completely thrown by the reveal of Paul’s lineage. I read the books, granted it was 30 years ago, and didn’t remember that at all.
I’ll say it, best science-fiction movie since the original Star Wars trilogy
I would almost agree… if it wasn’t for Terminator 2, The End of Evangelion, and Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 for me. This is definitely one of the best sci fi movies ever tho for sure 🔥
Revenge of the Sith,Rogue one and Interstellar are way better
@@DarthEqualizer no
@@DarthEqualizer yeah Interstellar too, just rewatched that one few weeks back, I appreciate it way more now…
@@DarthEqualizereven mentioning Revenge of the Sith ruined your credibility.
excellent excellent review!
The audible of Dune is really great. It’ll be really easy to digest after seeing the movies too. Enjoy!
Yes, I agree this is very good! Dune Mesiah audiobook is good too!
The thing about Jessica is she went against the Bene Gesserit to give birth to the chosen one. She was suppose to have a girl she chose to have a boy which is why the reverend mother is so mad because she completely ruins all their hard work and control they have had over the universe, and with Paul and the power he has they have no way to control or predict what he will do
I don’t understand. How can she choose the gender of her child?
@@lukedelrosario5881 did you read the book or watch the movies? It’s brought up multiple times, and it’s apart of that universe and the powers of the bene gesserit
@@ZSG92 Yeah… I watched Dune Part One and Two, or I wouldn’t be in the comment section of this video. I didn’t ever hear that explained. I guess I wasn’t paying enough attention somehow. My bad.
@@lukedelrosario5881 I didn’t meant to come off like a jerk, I just meant in the first one when the reverend mother visits Caladan and she puts Paul through the test she says to Jessica she wasn’t suppose to have a boy and she did it for king leto. And in part 2 when the one bene gesserit visits feyd when she comes back she hold her stomach and tells the revrend mother she has a baby girl it’s never explained how they do it just that they can do it
I probably just miss understood your question but yeah it’s just a power they have kinda like the voice or in the books their mind never explained just they can do it
Just got back from watching the film and ya it's amazing. Impressive how the actual plot of the movie was fairly unsurprising as far as what I thought was gonna happen. However it was the execution of how it all went down that was shocking. Loved the film easily my favorite film of the year thus far even if I haven't really seen very many films this year so far.
Also I love The Last Jedi with all my heart but I get your criticism
I just got back from watching for the second time: Masterpiece. I think some of that world building on the galactic level that you were talking about will probably happen in the 3rd movie, but I haven't read the books, so I don't know.
Saw it twice in the first week, got tickets for next week again. I will prob see it at least four times with different people. So good. I’ve also watched part one a few times recently. Denis is one of the best to do it right now.
What a movie. It’s so multilayered but connected. It’s amazing, despite being kinda confused and trying to figure out what’s happening throughout, it’s all translated perfectly. The story does make sense once you know it. We’re watching some of the best cinema ever made, cherish it people!
Paul, the hero, will bring the Fremen paradise.😅 I hope we get Dune 3: Messiah. I’d love to see what people will think.
Miss Christopher Walkens cocky persona and great dialogue he brings to his character roles I expected more confidence in his character as the emperor. I wish the fight between Gurney (Josh brolin) and Dave Bautistas character would of been longer..Im hoping there’s an extended version for some scenes as well…Good movie.
I agree. I thought they would make the emperor a more developed character before the end of the film.
I felt exactly the same about some parts of the film being too fast, for example the battle and gurneys revenge. I don’t know if they would’ve been better longer, but they definitely felt too quick.
My only nitpick was that it wasnt released June 2nd
i agree feyd should’ve introduced sooner. i just started reading the book and she showed up around page 20 (out of 750)
I'm happy this movie gave us a Drax vs. Thanos rematch where Thano still won. lol
This was a fantastic sequel in my opinion and the action was absolutely incredible!
The issues raised here are not issues for me-as the movie has a good run time. For instance, I like that Feyd did not have more time on screen as this bully does not need any more glorification.
I am also glad this punk did not take up space earlier in the movie. And I am happy that the equally dubious Baron and Rabban were terminated quickly like the trash that they are, with zero dignity.
Besides, the Bene Gesserit are the real overarching antagonists of this universe. They are the true bosses…
I respect rhat you at least give movies a 2nd viewing before giving a spoiler review. One of the inherent problems with film criticism nowadays is that you kinda have to give your opinion after one viewing. Honestly, the 2nd viewing is almost like a different movie. Dune: Part Two is way too complex to fully grasp with one viewing which makes a lot of reviews age bad.
Was there a point in time where film critics were watching movies multiple times before doing reviews? First impression reviews have always been a thing.
@@SeanChandlerTalksAbout It's always been an inherent problem. I do feel it's acknowledged enough and critics give definitive statements too often.
Just saw dune 2 tonight !! Holy crap it was amazing!!!!!
Changes from the book: 3 year time jump in the book, Alia (Jesicca’s daughter) is born, Paul and Chani have a son, their son is killed when the Fremen cietch is attacked, Alia kills the Baron Harkonen, Chani stays with Paul at the end.
I completely agree about the final battle it felt rushed (weird to say about such a long movie)… it kinda makes me think the true climax to the story happened earlier in the movie
Just saw this movie. What a thrill ride.
I just finnaly checked it out. A phenominal film. I immediatly want to rewatch
Dune is a amazing movie and the new saga movies really needed I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure the last saga of big movies was Harry Potter 10 plus years ago and there’s more to come I think part 1 and 2 together is a 9/10
Funny you mentioned the last jedi.
I always personally felt the problem
was indeed as you said that it kinda insults you for expecting certain things but then i also feel it didn't subvert enough in some places.
I remember watching it in the theater and when kylo reached out his hand and asked rey to join him I
Felt kinda cheated when she declined. I was like: "wait, so we're just doing empire again not even like a reverse but just the same thing." You had the opportunity to do something different and you clearly wanted to, but you keep this the same ? That's always bothered me. But then the whole sequel trilogy could be described as missed opportunities.
Then in ashoka when they had that scene about how the galaxy is this neverending cycle of repeating events i was kinda interested in seeing where it goes. Sadly with the death of Rey Stevenson i doubt they will return to this plot point. And even if they do i don't think
they would ever change the foundation of how the star wars galaxy works a la Earthsea style.
That would mean having to explain how the force functions and disney is never gonna go that route.
Javier Bardem was my MVP
An R rated cut would be incredible
Dune and Dune 2 will go down in history as a classic and hold up for a lifetime! Loved both of them! See it on biggest screen with best sound and enjoy!
Dune Part 2 is really good.
Finally watched it, brilliant. Just a brilliant film. I hope they make a third in a couple of years
This is true cinema. This is what’s sorely missing in Hollywood now, we should be wanting and demanding more of this.
Where did you find the Dune miniseries? I can’t find it in streaming anywhere
I absolutely loved the Harkonnen! They were so freakin creepy and captured the vibe I got from the books. Austin Butler as Fade may have been the best performance in the show. He may be the best villain I've seen since Heath Ledger's Joker!
I thought Part 1 & 2 were great, but I wasn't a big fan of the pacing at the end of the first and start of the second. It's probably not a movie problem, but that's probably just how the book was. They're both great though
I’ve seen some people say they didn’t like Walken as the emperor. On second watch I actually quite liked him.
Christopher Walken was playing Jim Crow Joe Genocidalist??
I definitely never interpret Chani as becoming a believer. She's still opposed to Paul's actions leading to the final big battle, while Stilgar is offering his life to Paul.
Also, Butler didnt shave his hair lol, it is truly impressive makeup, and still a show of transformation.
The Bene Gesirit prophecy is becoming true so does that validate their actions all these generations
Isn't the planet called 'Arrakis" not Dune? Unless I missed something. And I thought Chani never became a believer. At the large meeting near the end she exclaimed "this prophecy is how they control us". She seemingly wasn't buying it. Please give info if I missed something.
Arrakis is the formal name of the planet. Dune is the informal name.
Correct Chani was never a believer. Did I say otherwise? Pretty sure i ended by talking about how she was the one person to reject what was happening and the movie ends on the note of her being alone.
@@SeanChandlerTalksAbout Thanks. I was wondering why in the first film Skarsgård said "My Dune". I see now at 21:29 I thought you were referring to Zendaya but I see you were talking about her friend having the arc.
In the novel outsiders call it arrakis but the fremen call the planet dune.
Unfortunately your synopsis of the empower and the houses are correct.
As a fan of the novels and the 2 miniseries and how much I dont like the Lynch film I came to Dune part 1 skeptical and hoping it would be great and then hoping part 2 would happen and also be great. Im very happy that we now have an adaptation that is just as epic as the novel.
Appreciate how you articulated your opinion on Paul. Ive been frustrated by book readers since seeing the movie. I think most picked up on what you are saying on Paul but still cheered for him. Book readers are on a shaming campaign if you rooted for Paul to win the final fight. Seems like its partly based on whatever happens in Messiah. The attempt to ruin the experience for people of another medium is not like anything I experienced with anything else.
Yeah there’s a weird vibe. Instead of being excited the series is getting a wave of new people interested, they’re like acting like elitist…and basically spoiling what’s to come. So weird.
Im soory Sean. Deni has co firmed that there are no deleted - extended editions. 😂
Legendary movie, legendary review
My only little criticism so far is that I wish they had made it clearer how much time had passed since Paul and Jessica joined the Fremen and when the final battle took place. In the 1984 film it was easy to tell because Alia was "3 years old" at the end. But in this film, poor Jessica seems forever pregnant. Are we supposed to believe that only 8 short months have passed? Had Jessica given birth by the end of the film? Just wondering.
No, she was still pregnant in the movie. I understand not wanting a pre born toddler running around. It would be difficult to cast. I do wish they had spent more time with the Fremen though.
They took away the 3 year tin skip otherwise Alia would of been born
I never thought I would’ve seen a movie this big in my life the only other thing I really could compare this too in terms of a film epic is lord of the rings
Great talk Sean
For me, it felt like they changed dune 2 from dune 1 to appease to larger audiences with lower attention spans and need for more action, dune 2 has nothing on dune one for visuals or sound. That being said, the villain, story and action was superior in dune 2 so they are very close in my ratings.
Also I’m not trashing on it, dune one is my top 5 movies of all time So to be close to means it has to be perfect
Umm, how is part 2 not as good as part 1 when it comes to visuals and sound? There are more stunning visuals in this one, because of how much more happens. The score was also better. To each their own I guess.
sean, has anyone mentioned your pronunciation of details? you say deeTALES vs DEEtails .. found it amusing 😄
31:09 maybe messiah will show this more.
Most fun I’ve had in the theatre in years
The emperor plays a very small part in the book and the other families are not really explained all that much. Villeneuve worked with what he had in his hands. I agree Walken seems a bit tame though.
They explain a lot of the politics and the landraad in the book, especially in the dinner scene which was unfortunately not in the movie. The Guild was another vector in the book that gives an extra dynamic to the politics, which was barely mentioned in the movie. The book does keep a lot of background open which I think adds to the world building.
@@CliffKarrow Yeah I agree, the fact that it is up for interpretation is fine by me. I would have liked to see the navigators more in the movie though.
Where can I watch the BTS clips you use in this video?
christopher walken legit had like 3-4 scenes lmao. in a 2hr 45 min movie. severely underdeveloped plotline which couldve probably been one of the coolest parts. too much time spent on the desert religious stuff
In the novel they skip over all of the battle anyways
He marries princess irulan but his concubine n who he loves is chani she has his children. Marrying irulan is just for the throne he has no interest in her but she cant have kids but paul loves chani n shes his concubine during the whole time hes officially married to irulan hope Denis Villeneuve doesnt change this.
I agree with you on most points except about Leto. He didn't care about the fremen, He did what he did for his family. Yes he was noble
and a good man, but that doesn't change the fact that his motivations were to
himself.
How does having motivations for himself an issue in this context?
@@SeanChandlerTalksAbout yeah sorry that's my bad I should've thought a little longer about that.
You should do a top 10 space movies (interstellar, the Martian, star wars, etc)
Should be sci fi, I think that gives it more of a wider range 💪
@@NinthShinigami yeah that would work
Interstellar
2001 a space odyssey
Dune p2
Dune p1 / The martian
Sunshine
@@vvsparisAd Astra, First Man, High Life
Jessica was supposed to have a girl, who would then be bred to Feyd. Their male child would have been a Kwisatz Haderach. Feyd was a candidate to be a breeder. Paul is a generation early and is lacking he genetics that would enable the Bene Gesserit to control him.
Zendaya’s character becomes a believer??
(Spoiler warning) Doesn’t she refuse to kneel to him at the end before she goes off in her own?
It helped me sleep very soundly a fantastic sleeping aid no medication required.
What’s sad is that Paul didn’t even want to be the person he became as he was worried he would be something more evil and told chani this yet, still became the darker side.
Mother of Dragon, Misa Misa, Queen Dany??? Hurry up GRRM
He saw the past and future. He saw one way.
42:46 The difference for me is I cared about most of the characters in those Marvel movies. I couldn't tell you any character besides Paul's name in Dune. At least I cared about Captain Marvel. Had the same issue with The Batman; I don't care it was a real street, I was there too long and lost interest. Just my opinion.
You will grow up 1 day.
