S of D, I agree with you about Rebecca Ferguson’s A+ performance. I was continuously impressed by Javier Bardem’s expressions, as Stilgar, as he recognized all the signs of the Lisan al Gaib with such fervor.All the actors werei impressive! During moments of triumph-Paul’s first sand worm ride & the Fremen charging forth on the worms-the Dune theme music plays & my heart just expands with emotion❤ Another scene I like is Feyd Rautha walking thru the corridor & thinking Lady Margot is following him. She has manipulated his mind, which he soon realizes. It was skillfully played out, to me. I’ve watched Dune 2 many times!

At the end of the day it worked better IMO. It allowed Chani to be separated from the prophecy to a degree, leaving it up to mystery by the end of part 2. It was great because Chani's character will likely be able to change a lot in part 3. Which can essentially make her the third movie's protagonist. That said, I've recently read comics about Pardot Kynes and that whole story could have been adapted to a side story or a miniseries.

There is another possibility for Valya's narration, that she is someone's genetic memory.

Perhaps there will be an implication in Part 3. Like you, I am interested to see the show develop its own identity separate from the films, but I wonder if they will feed each other.

Having finally watched the movies, i must say I was not much impressed with one element: at night time, the Duke, his family, all staff, the enormous army, they all seem to go to sleep. I supose they landed all their ships and all soldiers, pilots etc etc they all just went home to sleep because, you know, everyone is supposed to sleep at night time. So, they have no defense mechanism im place for the night time. There's no security in place, no night time soldiering of the Atreides territorial space. And so the enemy descides take advantage of this and attack when the enemy and all its forces are fast asleep, completely deccimating them in less than 12 hours. Likewise, it takes the Mehdi just a few hours to subsequently overwhelm his enemy armies. And I hear about Russia and Ukraine going at it for, what, 2+ years now? In short, its just a highly unrealistic presentation of the war, pretty much like the Dothrakis idiotically charging at the army of the dead in the night time. Of course, nice special effects, good acting, "silence!" nicely executed, but just a overly simplistic presentation of warfare between two large powers.
@secretsofdune6 күн бұрын
That's why I think the time jump was quite important, you had to show the growing of the force, the growing of Paul's strength and influence over a period of time. He became a Fremen arguably too quickly. The destruction of House Atreides was due to Yueh lowering the shields which was supposed to protect the complex at night. They didn't really show that clearly enough which may have lead to many being confused about that.

For how much HBO has talked about wanting to match the looks of the Villeneuve movies, I think that what we've seen so far looks more like another HBO series, like House of the Dragon. It has this high production value TV look that we've come to expect from HBO, but without reaching the high visual water mark of the movies. In that sense, I'm thankful because I want this show to have its own identity and to propose something different, instead of trying to emulate something successful from a different medium. They have the opportunity to do something special with the serialized episodic TV show format and I hope they take advantage of it.

Also, in the title I don't think the D is supposed to be smoke, but maybe earth? Earth, fire, water, and air are generally considered "elements" in a lot of fiction, but then again the ice kinda throws a wrench in that so who knows.
It could be. I would love that kind of depth of planning, but it's hard to say.
@@johnnyrivas2619 In that case it's a new Avatar series haha.
@@secretsofdune control or balance of elements is also imo like the 4 humours of the body in older medicine, if one goes off balance causes illness.. the elements are all interlinked just as the sisters work inwardly to create balance/control. I'm reaching a bit lol!
@@neilmurphy966 I hope they do go that deep into things though.
Cautiously optimistic will be the term I use for now. Aesthetics seem heavily to rely on the new Dune movies, which is kind of a let down, they should be their own thing.
I hear you. I would have liked a more fresh approach too, but they clearly want to build on the Dune movie hype which is why they kept it similar.
