ALIA NOT IN DUNC 2


>Anya Taylor Joy plays adult Alia in a vision with Paul and Jessica separately

>So the Emperor comes to take over Arrakis from the Baron because he failed to have Paul killed. He then had the Baron cut from his floaty life support thingy, so the Baron falls to the ground and can't walk, and is crawling up the stairs to the Emperor's throne.

>The battle is going on outside, then the Fremen break into the Emperor's throne room and the guards move the Emperor to the side to protect him, leaving the Baron unprotected. Then Paul walks in and they don't do anything to stop him killing the Baron.

>Jessica goes kinda weird in this one. She becomes cold and goes around Arrakis selling the story of Paul being the Messiah. She goes to the South without Paul. She gets these tattoos on her face and drinks the poison water to see the future. Oh and its revealed in one of Paul's visions that she's the daughter of the Baron. She acts smug to the Bene Gesserit leader later on. There's a young Bene Gesserit who takes advantage of Feyd and is pregnant with his daughter.

>Tragic ending? Not really, just Chani gets upset and storms off because Paul offers to marry the Emperor's daughter so he can rule himself (that's also supposed to be part of the Bene Gesserit's plan). The other noble families are coming to Arrakis and don't accept his rule. There's no like major character death or anything from what I remember.

      Leto II's transformation begins about 2/3rds of the way through Children of Dune but he's just a 12 year old with hardened body armor and super strength/speed. He doesn't become the gross worm man until God-Emperor of Dune, the fourth book that will never, ever be adapted because if Alia is too weird for modern audiences they're definitely not adaptaing God Emperor

                That's because you most likely weren't among the mudschaheddin, but far away from the conflict, where it most probably was seen as a mere proxy-war and no one cared for what motivated the fighters on ground.
                As for possible jihads in 2021 and right now, there are still serveral groups in the middle east that consider themselves at war with non-believers. Either in their own countries or internationally.

                No, not collateral. Literal intended attacks on israelites, that got labeled "crusades". There were also several crusades against Christian sects.
                The main point here is that these anti-israeli crusades were the ones that were the closest to what the Fremen do against the Harkonnens, on their own planet. An equivalent to the "big crusades" that were supposedly meant to "free" Palestine from muslim occupation would be something that the Fremen would leave their own planet for.
                Either way, it was a joke. That some Villeneuve fanboy took personally.

                But the Harkonnens were in political and military power, the israelites weren't. They were attacked because the Crusaders borrowed money from rich israelites to buy weapons, and then like the good Christians they were, murdered all the israelites so they wouldn't have to pay them back. You've triggered my Cinemaphile gland, your whole comparison doesn't work.

      Lynch's adaptatin was never not faithful. It was literally just autists shitting their pants over "muh weirding modules". The same autists who did not care about Liet Kynes, the Baron or Yueh's backstory in DUNC because they see Villeneuve as one of their own.

        Lynch's movie was just cut down for time which removed a lot of good scenes and shortened others. Seeing the whole picture the way it was intended (or at least closer to the original intention) with the Spicediver edit, we see the Lynch film is a great adaptation that was faithful to the original work. Villeneuve had twice as much allotted time to work with and somehow cut even more than Lynch did.

        Lynch's was not faithful; it's impossible to be faithful if you don't even remotely understand the source material, or even what's important and unimportant
        Paul's relationship to the Fremen, Gurney and Duncan, the characterization of the Baron, muh sonic weapons, the fricking rain, the list goes on and on
        what's worse, the writing is insanely stilted and amateurish, and almost every scene is a comedy of 'let me narrate the story and background information to the audience' instead of illustrating it through events and visuals. A lot of characters were also miscast and poorly-directed; the scene with Yueh talking about the length of sandworms to Paul is literally first-year-drama-student tier
        the writing is almost the complete antithesis of what Kubrick said of Kieslowski, which is that he had the rare ability to dramatize ideas rather than just talking about them

          Frank Herbert did genuinely enjoy Lynch's film afterall. Don't you think Frank Herbert should have a pretty good understanding of his own book?

        Yeah, but Villeneuve also included half an hour of panorama shots of a badly colour-graded desert with Zendaya's ugly mug in it. That of course is much more important than giving context or meaning to what's going on in the story.

          Understanding storytelling and filmmaking are needed to make a good film, i.e. to make your adaptation work in the medium of film.

          But you don't need to be a good director or writer to realize that completely rewriting your source material and removing characters for no good reason isn't usually a good idea.

      Funny. The film audience in 1984 had no problem understanding it. Maybe because the film wasn't dogshit like DUNC is?
      And of course, while not a feature film, the Syfy adapatation also didn't have any problem getting the point across.

          It doesn't. But keep pretending if it makes you cope with Villeneuve completely rewriting the story.
          If even half of the spoilers are true, he's done worse to Frank Herbert's work and its public perception than Brian Herbert ever could. And that's quite an accomplishment.

              You don't have to like Lynch's Dune, or the Syfy adaptation. But to pretend that they're anywhere remotely as disrespectful and incompetently made as DUNC is outright slander.

            It turns Paul into a standard hero and there’s a ‘happy’ ending that brings rain to Arrakis, even though that will literally wreck the planet and kill its wildlife

              You simply cannot have Toto provide the soundtrack and NOT bless the rains down in Arrakis, anon.
              But, yeah, this was indeed the biggest change in Lynch's film. And it effects ... literally nothing. What it does is make a statement about economic exploitation that had been going on on Dune, and that is already one of the thematic foci of the book. Lynch know what he's doing.

              Now, your turn: Why is deleting Alia such a great idea from Vlleneuve?

                As for removing Alia, I’m not in favour of it, even if it would be hard to do her justice. Though as they literally had the actress playing fully grown Alia at the premiere and have been talking about doing Messiah, I’ll remain sceptical until I see it.

                Anything requiring important drama from very young actors is at the mercy of their skill and what the filmmakers can get from them. Sometimes you get Kirsten Dunst in Interview with the Vampire, sometimes you suffer through almost every child performance in the early Harry Potters. And with respect to the young actress, the scenes with her in Lynch’s film are… well, not entirely successful. Hoping Villeneuve hasn’t removed her though, as she’s important.

                That's why you need to hire a good director and casting director. Alicia Witt in Lynch's Dune wasn't a lucky accident, it was just good casting. Same for Dunst in Interview with the Vampire.

          Doesn't mean that people didn't understand the plot. The political plot in the first half was particularly clearly laid out in Lynch's film.
          It was the editing in the second half and the pacing issues that came with it that were the issue for most reviewers and the audience.

                It’s not lost to history, at all, certain people are just in denial about Lynch’s film being notorious for being an utter mess that relied on constant inner monologue voiceovers to explain things from the book and still didn’t do it properly. Hell, it starts with an info dump from Irulan that has a second info dump stitched on. That film has some great qualities, but it is narratively sloppy and still didn’t convey things well to non fans

                The reason it is "an utter mess" is the editing in the second half. Again: Pretty much everybody is in agreement about that.

                That's not a quality judgement, anon. You might not like it, personally, but it just is what it is. And the book does the same thing, except repeatedly, before every chapter.

      That's the problem right there. Everything about DUNC already signalled what Villeneuve was going to do. From dropping the ball on Yueh's subplot to the complete butchering of Liet Kynes, the one character which could have introduced anything of relevance about Fremen culture and part 2 in general.
      But, no, people like you just chose to close your eyes and ears and pretend that everything was alright. And that's not even taking into account how terrible DUNC was as an audio-visual experience.

          Only complete morons use "kino" as an assessment of (perceived) quality. No wonder you don't have any idea what actual good cinematography is like, and why "muh desaturated blurry dusty totals of deserts with cement blocks" isn't it.
          >Kynes is not that important to the overall lore
          Kynes is literally Chani's father, and the point where Fremen culture and the "outside" first touch. It is a taste of what's to come with Paul joining them. But of course, if you only care about plothomosexualry rather than effective meaningful storytelling, you wouldn't understand.

      Short answer: Because Villeneuve is a hack.
      Long answer: Because Villeneuve is a massive hack, who thinks Alia is a silly idea (and you cannot have silly in a serious mature movie for serious mature adults about paranormally gifted space witches, no way), and who thinks that what Dune needs most of all is "muh strong female diverse protagonist", and who thinks actors need to be popular with the gen Z audience rather than good at their job.

    OP here. Someone asked some more questions earlier and I’m here to answer.


    The baby sand worm makes the poison drink that gives Paul and his mom their visions of the future. Once Paul can see things clearly he can see people's past. He does this during a prayer then the Fremen worship him. Chani doesn't believe in him. The Emperor finds out Paul is alive and takes Arrakis over from the Harkonens. The Fremen attack and take the Emperor prisoner. Batista gets killed by Brolin; Paul kills the Baron. Paul challenges the Emperor for the Empire and fights Feyd as his champion. Paul gets stabbed twice but pulls the first knife out and stabs Feyd with it. He then makes the Emperor kiss his ring and offers to marry his daughter.

    They ruined it.

        Kek. They more or less took this from Hamlet. Maybe the poisoned knife inspired them to. So I guess both Feyd and Paul die from the poison here then, like both Laertes and Hamlet did?

        Alia comes to them in both separate visions. It’s their method of communicating with her.

        I’m just telling you dawg. He can see people’s past.

        Chani’s motives seem kind of moronic. It flip flops. She loves him but doesn’t believe he’s the Muad’dib

          Thinking about it, maybe Villeneuve is one of those people who think that time is cyclical. And Paul sees so far into the future that he loops back around and approaches the present from the past? Nah, that'd be too stupid even for Villeneuve. Or wouldn't it?

          >what I don't get is why the hell she still falls in love with him if she doesn't believe (in) him and doesn't trust him either
          Because she is a strong woman and cant show romantic emotion. 95% of chani in the trailers in scowling at paul, her boyfriend. Villeneuve has to keep the romance if he wants to do Messiah but he was to make Chani a huge fricking c**t

        Because she is a strong woman and cant show romantic emotion. 95% of chani in the trailers in scowling at paul, her boyfriend. Villeneuve has to keep the romance if he wants to do Messiah but he was to make Chani a huge fricking c**t

          What a strange change from the book. I can see how they got themselves in this pickle, though.
          >forced by producers to cast Zendaya
          >zendaya can only play a scowling c**t
          >scowling c**ts check the empowered girlboss box, so it's ok
          But oh shit, she's got to be a mother to Paul's kids! Which puts them in a bind..

          The worst thing is that you are right, that's how those israelites think. Chani was a very strong woman in the books, Zendaya has zero range and Villanova is a hack, they simply cannot translate her feminine power into the screen.

    If yuh were a real dune fan, why would you watch this? It's too late. It's over. I'll probably just rewatch the lynch one again and reread the first book and be done with it.

    That's pure nonsense. Jessica is pregnant in dune 1. Unless dune two takes place in less than 9 months I don't think so
