As long as we dont have to put up with Kaladins stupid brain dead Father Lirin Im good. Made me so angry in ROW what a stupid character
The AI substituted dialogue is a little annoying rather than hearing the actual actors.
It is the actual actors with the music removed from the trailer. It distorted their voice a bit. I probably should've replaced it with an AI voice lol.
@@FatalxBlade It REALLY distorted their voices. Unrecognizable.
I'll keep that in mind for the future, but for copyright I didn't want their music in the video at all.
Portrayal of Alia was pretty much off, but I didn’t pay too much attention to it because her main arc comes later. The main turn-off for me was an alteration of Chani, one of my favorite female characters. She’s vital for understanding the original story - which hints that books 2 and 3 will be massively altered too. And Fremen culture was basically obliterated. The way they disrespected Stilgar was kind of hard to see.
They butchered half of the book in favour of 2 hours of a frowning ZenChani, crap adaptation
The quality is unbelievable. Deserves all the support
Awesome Summary
It would be nice to see an actual mistborn again.
This is a Teaser for my Ultimate Stormlight Archive Chapter by Chapter Summary. This video contains my rough draft version of the Interlude to The Way of Kings. My full Part One video will release in August. I will be releasing weekly chapter releases for members mostly just to hold me accountable to a schedule. You by no means need to become a member unless you just want early access. Any feedback left will be taken into account. Thanks for watching! For anyone wondering why I don't just release every chapter Publicly. I'm not sure how that would affect my channel in terms of the algorithm and flooding subscriber feeds. Also, I will be doing MUCH shorter Plot Summaries for each of the current four Stormlight Books prior to the release of Wind and Truth in December. - Way of Kings Plot Summary will release in August - Words of Radiance Plot Summary will release in September - Oathbringer Plot Summary will Release in October - Rhythm of War Plot Summary will Release in November kzread.info/dron/ZTnCuZ37SQa5hSXihvDSfw.htmljoin
Oh no alia's birth at the end of 3 would piss me off. Please no. We need a time jump.
Oh I agree lol
Maula pistol shots while crouched right nearvy in caves or rocks they jnow well make sense to me. It communicates Fremen superiority in environmental knowledge We see lasgun shots. Only the Harkonnens use them. They're fighting back.
Yeah, probably is supposed to be Maula pistol shots, but at that distance is kind of insane. And it's weird that there are only a couple red bullet trails which I assume are Fremen shots compared to the many lasgun shots. I do like that the scene establishes Fremen superiority. I just would've preferred it being less hidden from us, and the combat more clear. Especially because we see lasgun fire but never see an up close shot of the Harkonnens shooting back.
@@FatalxBlade I never noticed the coloured shots. But I always assumed lasguns are always bulky, meanwhile we see no Fremen holding anything bulky. When they do use guns they're massive. So unlikely to be carried in small desert expeditions.
17:23 You see the red shots being fired. It's weird the VFX team added just a couple of red shots and a ton of lasgun fire. Either way I think you're right and we are to believe they are dispatching them with Maula pistols even though the distance is very impressive. I'm guessing that's why they never show the Fremen.@@pseudonymousbeing987
Woah nice production value
Thanks!
@@FatalxBlade looking forward to the rest of this series man! Keep it up.
@@pseudonymousbeing987 Thanks, I've got a God Emperor video in the works but after that I'll do the second scene.
Will you create one for wind and truth as well? I always finish out these books with these videos.
Yes, gotta wait for the US cover reveal first though
Thanks a lot for these! I read the first 3 a long time ago and stopped in order to read all of Stormlight - that's been released. Now i need a refresher before going back to Scadrial with the lost metal.
No problem, and Thanks! hopefully someone has a recap for Bands of Mourning. I haven't done that one yet
Very excited for a video for RoW!!
That's a crazy coincidence because I'm uploading it right now lol
@@FatalxBlade oh my gosh, yay!!! Love these so much
The scene is an establishing one as in, it reminds us of where our main characters are and what is their plight. Some action helps gain the viewers attention. The complaints about the specifics of the weaponry or lack thereof are completely irrelevant and have no bearing on the quality of the writing/storytelling
Oh really? Completely irrelevant seems a bit definitive. Yes adding action to a movie makes sense. Adding action that breaks, or is at the very least bending the rules of the movie breaks immersion. I'm sorry you don't agree with the concept of critiquing an action scene. I just wish it was more thought out. And to be fair I don't think I ever complained about it being an establishing scene. Either way I'm glad you liked the scene.
It only breaks immersion for those that pay attention to those minute details which is likely a very small portion of the watchers@FatalxBlade
@@FatalxBladeAlso, this isn't a movie about military tech. Its a classic heroes journey with a bit of a twist in that the hero doesn't end up being all that heroic. You're points would be much more valid for a military training video about fighting on arrakis
@@TheWmubronco30 I get the point you're trying to make, but this video is an indepth analysis of the movie in relation to the books. Along with my opinions on it. I think we will have to just agree to disagree because to me cohesive world building is absolutely necessary. I just think the scene could've been better. Your opinion is valid, but I'm not going to change mine.
If they don't show a Guild Navigator in part 3, I will burn my DVDs !!!
We see a similar problem when Paul meets up again with Gurney, Gurney has a long range gun which actually blows up one of the mines coming towards the crawler, but then he decides to pull out his sword instead of using the long range gun, makes no sense. Paul pops out of the ground and trips him, I'm sorry, I know it looks cool, but this whole army popping out of the ground thing makes no sense either.
Yeah, I'll get to that scene eventually if I keep going. Part Two seems to have wanted to retain the hand to hand combat, but not putting too much thought into making it make sense.
What's wrong with either of those? Frank Herbert gives no reason for lasguns not to be used in the desert. Only that Harkonnens seem to stop after Idaho's trap. Also what's wrong with the ground attack? We see the sand compactor tool which makes it possible to tunnel and burst out.
As much as I liked Dune 2, this opening scene is frustrating if you actually think about it, what happen to the ship which brought the Harkonnens, oh yea, you just tell your air cover to piss off. The bodies dropping like flies off the mountain was complete nonsense, maybe 1, but all of them ? Jessica saving Paul was pure ex-machina. It put me into a bad mood for the movie in the theatre, it was spectacle over substance
Yeah, I actually overlooked the whole drop ship leaving. Apparently the Harkonnens were too busy shoving bodies off the cliff instead of trying to kill their attackers. Absolutely spectacle over substance.
Those drop ships are never shown to be used in combat. They appear to be purely lumbering haulcraft with no offensive weapons or special maneavourability. They have no purpose to solve and may needlessly expose the nearby hunting party.
Does anyone know why they omitted the weirding modules and way from the new Dune movies. To me that was a key part of the story
The Weirding Modules are exclusive to the 1984 Dune movie. Stilgar calls Jessica a Weirding woman in Part One, but it is never really expanded upon.
Not in the books. Made up and not in any way relevant to the books either. The weirding way is a benefit Gesserit martial art.
keep going
Weirding modules. Kill with a word.... completely left out of the movie as well as this analysis. It's a while I read the book, but I did not remember that Paul got injured so badly in the fight with Feyd. Feyd also had a poisoned blade hidden in his suit, which Paul avoids. When Paul silences the mother, he also refers to her gom jabar and commands her to look into the place where she cannot look. none of that in the movie. I don't believe there was an interaction between Jessica and the mother in the end confrontation as displayed in the movie. It's a good movie, but I think they left out too many of the powerful moments from the book. It would have made it a better movie, but probably a longer one as well. I like that they got rid of most of thinking processes of the different characters. We as viewers can fill in most of these internal conversations, without the need of putting them to the screen.
Weirding modules are only in the 1984 Dune Movie not the book. Yes, Paul was not badly injured in the fight. The movie also left out the poison blade as did the arena scene. The Bene Gesserit seem to be the main "antagonists" in Denis' adaptations. I assume they will be used even more prominently in his Dune Messiah adaptation.
That can always just say the emperor is like 200 years old and then he'll still look young for his age.
What's with the overuse of hand gestures man? You should learn ASL or something helpful if you can't stop moving your hands. At least then you'd be helpful
Sorry, you're not a fan. I'm not sure I have the time to learn ASL.
Basically the whole second part gets majority of the book continuity wrong besides the major plot points. The one part that was pretty unforgivable was that they changed Paul's motivation for moving toward his visions of the Jihad, which was due to his son's death at the hand of the harkonnen spies. Chani isn't against Paul's motivation in the end due to her own grief, and knows that Irulan is just a pawn.
I will have to be convinced to even think about seeing “Dune Part III” after being totally put off by Part II. Doesn’t anybody realize that Jessica has been pregnant with Alia for 4 years at the end of Part II? Why did they change that timeline so drastically? That’s the longest human pregnancy EVER! I loved the scenery, the worms were absolutely fantastic and stunning. Your breakdown of Part II was very good and I am glad there is someone out there that questions why . . . Why the hell did they decide to change the storyline so drastically. Chani being pissed off at Paul for most of the movie was a very disappointing plot change. Her unconditional love for Paul was the only thing that kept Paul in the ‘here and now’, and, most importantly, to the one factor that kept Paul human. He could only feel emotions of love, sorrow, and caring while she was alive and with him. This was explained in the Arakeen (sp) scene before the encounter between Shadam and his retinue and Paul and the Fremen.
Sorry to comment this here but are you planning on making a stormlight archive recap like the ones you did for mistborn. Thank you.
Yes, I've been slowly working on Stormlight. I've just been making Dune videos in the meantime, because I enjoy Dune and it's been nice how well the videos have been performing. You can expect some Stormlight soon to prepare for Wind and Truth.
@@FatalxBladeThank you for your reply, and I didn't mean to object to the Dune videos. In fact, I love Dune. I'm very excited for your upcoming Stormlight Archive videos. Your content is always top-notch.
I appreciate it and am glad you enjoy the content. Hopefully I'll be making it more regularly. I've had some burnout lately, but getting back into Dune has helped.
I didn't read the ending yet but from what i saw in the book after Paul's ultimatum to the great house/guild they all retreated But in the movie it didnt work and he ordered war. I believe Dennis will change a lot of stuff
Yeah, the confusing thing with this is that it should've worked. Paul is in a position to control the Spice which everyone needs. The movie even opens with the line "power over spice is power over all".
Yes! Well said. And well recalled. Princess Irulan was not an astute Bene Gesserit, she was a middling Bene Gesserit at best-She had more of an independent streak, which is why she eventually flipped sides. Her individuality is what made her maybe my favorite female character in the book. But foreseeably, in the movie they girl bossed her for the woke cult leaders who run the culture now.
No mention that Liet Kynes was also race swapped 👱🏼♂️and that Chani was a redhead huh 👩🏻🦰?
I wasn't really focusing too much on character appearance differences in this video. A gender swap is a bit more significant than a race swap, so I mentioned that. Especially because both Paul and Chani lost their father at the same time.
@@FatalxBlade -You’re right about what was a more meaningful change. It just strikes me that Frank Herbert doesn’t often describe his characters’ appearance in great detail. Therefore, when he does describe them, I have to presume it is of importance to him, thus important to the tale he weaves. I think for example, Liet Kynes was described physically much like Lawrence of Arabia, or at least Peter O’Toole as Lawrence of Arabia-Thus it must be meaningful. But you’re right that as a point of bonding. Liet being Chani’s father who was also murdered by the Harkonnens, is critical to the story and her burgeoning relationship with Paul. And Liet and Pardot Kynes’ ecological dream is important, because it fueled the Lisa Al-Gaib myth even further. Like a perfect storm which comes to full bore when Paul and Lady Jessica come to dwell amongst the Fremen.
ANother fantastic video! Thank you!
Pretty sure it is mentioned once murbella undergoes spice trance in chapterhouse that the honored matres are decended from fish speakers that went into the scattering
You're right. I think they're descended from both fish speakers and Bene Gesserit. I didn't rewatch my video but I assume I just said Bene Gesserit originally.
I respect the hustle and dedication, subscribed
Horny books.
Thank you so much! Keep up the great work!
This is the first and only honest, non-fanboy, analysis of this movie....thanks man...
You're welcome. I'm in the camp of wanting to like the adaptations more than I actually do.
I wish they would make the storyline of the Holy War 12 years before Dune Messiah, I mean the Dune Messiah covers the timeline 12 years after the Atreides Empire was established and the Holy War killed 16 billion people in the Imperium. I mean even Star Wars Adopted the storyline after the Fall of the Empire further expanding the established universe of Star Wars, they could literally do the same thing in Dune expanding the Story like they adopted the Bene Gesseret story in Dune I mean who doesn't like to see the Chaotic War between Duke Atreides and the Great Houses.
have the Brian Herbert books not covered that period yet? He seems intent on filling in all the gaps in his father’s timeline, so if he hasn’t released a “jihad of dune” series yet, i’m sure it’s in development.
@@the_dj_wood No his 2nd Book, Dune Messiah briefly mentioned the Holy War as the book covers the 12 years timeline after the Holy War period. That's exactly why we need the Holy War Timeline but sadly it's a dream that won't come true.
The way Zendaya plays Chani im not a fan of. She is a great actress but she seems to disagree with Paul so much and spends the second half of the film looking angry eveytime they make eye contact. Why is she even with him? She doesn't even seem to like him
Thanks for the videos explaining the DUNE saga. I read these books back in the early eighties. From Dune to Dune Chapterhouse. Five years ago I finished the prequels. They IMHO while not as deep as the originals were still quite good. I would like to see a possible movie made on those books. Showing the start of the Butlerian Jihad, the origins of the Mentats, the Guild Navigators, who was the first Bene Gesserit. There are a lot of material that could be used to make quality movies with the right producer and director.
It's possible for sure. In the meantime Dune Prophecy seems to be sort of doing what you're asking for. Except it seems to be only loosely based on the Prequel books.
I had not heard of Dune Prophecy until now. I see that it is based on the prequel book Sisterhood of Dune. I read that book last year. It was quite good. The book focus is on the Bene Gesserit. It also touches on the first use of the VOICE, and (spoiler alert) how one HAKONNEN sister uses it to take power. The timeline of the book take place right after the end of the Butlerian Jihad, and spotlight the Atredies hero of that war.
@@addisonscott7808 That's awesome, who know maybe you'll like the show. I've heard some people theorizing that maybe this takes place after the book(s) due to the Harkonnen sisters age in the trailer. I'm not familiar with the source material though.
I'm guessing they made the Fremen less aligned in the movie to tone down the white savior feel.
Great job!
The Chani change has confused me with what DV is going to do but I think casting ATJ means there has to be a time jump so we get an adult Alia. It will be a crime to not get JM back as Hayt (kind of core to all follow on Dune stories so yeah must happen). He can include ACTION by having the Jihad still raging (or flashbacks?). I think the Feyd Harkonnen/Fenring baby is going to play a part (good call) otherwise why bother including in the script of Pt2? I really REALLY hope DV does not remove the involvement of the Spacing Guild and Tleilaxu in the conspiracy!
I can't recall everything I said in the video, but you bring up a good point. I don't think I mentioned the Jihad. That absolutely is a way to incorporate action scenes even if it is just through flash backs or before a time jump.
Dune is quite an expanding franchise. 😂
This is terrible
8:40 In new released chapters of Secret Book 5, Sequel to the First of the Sun, we get name of the Aether Main Planet . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Its Dhatri. And we know that it has no perpendicularity, so traveling to Dhatri requiers spaceship.
Oh nice I haven't read the chapters yet. Debating on whether I should wait or not.
A woke shitfest, what else to expect.
Hopefully not lol
@@FatalxBlade As I said, what else can we expect? Both DV movies already are stained by woke crap. Imagine a series about all powerful ninja nuns of Hell...
@@haitaelpastor976 Not everything that comes out is terrible. I'm not the biggest fan of the Denis films either. Part Two inserted modern day sensibilities into the Fremen which felt wrong. I don't think it's a guarantee that this show will be bad. I hope we get an original show that is inspired by the Expanded Dune Universe that captures the feel of Frank Herbert's Bene Gesserit. Although they're more like Ninja Concubines.
@@FatalxBlade The title alone feels off. Perhaps I'm overthinking here, but "Prophecy" is not the best word to describe the goal of the Bene Gesserit. I mean, the Kwisatz Haderach is not to be a messiah, but the result of conscious genetic manipulation through loads of generations. He's not to be born "because a prophecy must be fulfilled", it's a tool and a weapon that takes millenia to be built. The "messiah" tale is just a way for the Bene Gesserit to manipulate cultures through the Reverend Mothers and their Panoplia Prophetica, making them believe there's a prophecy to be fulfilled by some kind of godly command. Is that their intention, to change the KH into some kind of Jesus?
@@haitaelpastor976 I think maybe you are overthinking the weight of the title. I'm not sure why they changed it because I think Sisterhood sounded better. Maybe we just have to think from the Fremen perspective it is a prophecy. Although we don't actually know for sure what prophecy the title is referencing.
7:36 i think its actually a pomegranate
Yeah you are right. I'm unfamiliar with that fruit.
It's a pretty common fruit brother. Idk why but I find it hilarious
@@colonagray2454 I believe it, but I have no sense of smell so I don't really eat fruit. I didn't realize the fruit was opened so I thought it was a type of berry lol.
Okay spoiler: the earring thing is craaaaaaaazzzyy
It really is one of the best plot twists
I wish it's not just a lot of foreshadowing for the movies/books storyline, because we already know that's gonna happen. F*** they like to do that shit
Yeeeeeeaaaah it's gonna suck in my honest opinion... I remember before Part 2 came out I said if this movie doesn't include Jamis funeral scene, or Gurney sneaking up on Jessica with a knife I'm going to be very disappointed. Not only did it not include those scenes, it didn't include Thufir Hawat, and the straw that broke the camel's back for me was Chani's character change.... I'm happy for people who haven't read the books though as they will be absolutely loving this trilogy, but I for one will not go out of my way to watch part 3 because I know I'm just gonna be even more disappointed with how many more ridiculous changes Villeneuve is going to make. He calls himself a feminist yet turn all the woman in this story into caricatures of themselves. Even Star Wars has a better bloody love story between Annakin and Padme and it's already seen as a joke. The Matrix captured Chani and Paul's relationship better than Villeneuve ever will conceive.
I think era 3 is going to officially kick off the Scadrial Vs Roshar war. With Mraize's actions on Roshar and Shallan's declaration i nbook 4 being the catalyst.
