They should have made the bristles blue so that the the mouth looks like a blue iris, thus highlighting the the worms' relationship with the spice (and also making it look less like a gaping anus). Huge wasted opportunity.
so how intelligent the worms are? do they have delicate senses? can they see? it clearly stares at paul in pt1, kinda laughs at him too. like why would it spend so much energy with its 300ton body to chase down some scrawny 125lbs kid? the energy spent clearly makes it a low reward. what do these things eat? rocks and sand?
>what do these things eat? rocks and sand?
yes >METABOLISM OF THE ADULT WORM. The adult G. arraknis was a true autotroph, producing all of its nutritional needs from inorganic compounds on the planet surface. The energy to drive the synthetic reactions was obtained by the travel of the worm through the sand which caused an electrostatic charge differential. The resulting electrons passed to an electron acceptor believed to be a cupri-cyanide compound, the reduced form of which accumulated in the worm body. The electron donor was probably S1O2, although the precise mechanism is unknown. Molecular oxygen was evolved during the reaction. The presence of water caused the electrons to be discharged abnormally because the anions and cations on the worm body dissolved in the water. Thus, water was a poison to the worm. >The heat from the friction of the travel of the worm through sand drove the synthetic reactions to completion. Most of the nutrients produced were gaseous: methane, ethane, propane and butane, butyric acid, propionic acid, acetic acid, and formic acid. Excess gases not utilized for nutrients were literally ignited by the heat of sand travel. Thus, the worm always had a flame deep within the body cavity. The excess heat also aided in driving the synthetic reactions, keeping the nutrients in gaseous form for adsorption, and vaporizing any stray H2O. >One of the mysteries of the metabolism of the sandworm is the source of hydrogen in the organic compounds. Obviously it could not come from water. One theory is that molecular hydrogen was fixed, although the reactions have not been discovered.
In Part 2, they made the water of life; the bile of the infant worm, a vivid BLUE color. I wonder if Dennis got that idea from the Blue Bristles poster....

You might as well just say that for everyone. The genetic and gender components of how prescience operates and its overall effect on the sisterhood and thus the entire political structure. Why Paul has a strange relationship with his mother because of Chani's appearance.
>kind of forgot about Chani staying with Paul as a concubine
In the first Dune you see Paul's dream nuking everyone in the holy wars and Chani is at his side. She's come around in the third movie.

>Holtzmann shields block projectile weapons >laser weapon risk a nuclear explosion at both ends of the beam if it intersects a Holtzmann field >prevailing military doctrine of the Imperium centered around limited scale "War of Assassins" >weapons of mass destruction proscribed by the Grand Convention
Under these conditions, having large formations of melee troops starts to make sense. One shielded man with a sword in Ukraine could ignore all small arms fire, laugh at drones raining bomblets on him, and shrug off the high energy kinetic impact of artillery and tank shells. This one man could run straight to the Kremlin and disembowel Putin.

this implies that they set up something with thufir in the first part and then didn't follow up on it, which didn't happen.

"... years after Leto's death it is suggested in Children of Dune that Gurney and Jessica have become lovers. Leto's son Paul Atreides refers to him as "Gurney the valorous" in Dune, and Duke Leto comments that Paul has named Gurney well."

most of these don't really matter as separate plot points, you can find them in other places within the movie. The only things missing were: Mentat prowess (since Paul also has those powers), The Guild's anxiety over the spice.

why didn't the emprah put his camp on rocky ground
why doesn't anyone use napalm/chlorine/chemical weapons
why don't they just create water via burning hydrocarbons
why don't they just make water by bonding hydrogen and oxygen in the atmosphere together
>why doesn't anyone use napalm/chlorine/chemical weapons
there were rules against nukes and stuff like that, so maybe there were similar unwritten rules about chemical weapons also
>Is Paul genderfluid now he has access to both genders ego memories
Paul can be read in that way. But Dennis is a coward and carefully avoided the weird parts of Dune. I'm honestly surprised the troony brigade isn't howling for blood after one of the few famous hermaphrodidic-coded characters got botched.
>She tried sleeping with everyone including her brother whachu mean
wtf why? what is her problem? atleast she is protrayed as a realistic spoiled western girl. being degenerate and trying to seduce everyone with status
In Messiah she was a virgin and fell in love with ghola Duncan. He literally stole her first kiss. In Children she's already evil for some reason, except we don't even know what kind of evil things she did, then her genetic memory of Baron Harkonen possesses her and she starts fricking everyone cucking Duncan. Also Herbert made her really stupid for some reason. It's like she lost all her abilities from the last book.
It's pure character assassination.
Also, he changes how things work from book to book. I don't think this whole possession nonsense was even mentioned in Dune or in the Messiah, now everyone talks about it like it's common knowledge.

Their rabid fans foaming at the mouth and claiming otherwise will always be funny though.
does the new film have lots of scenes with the worm monster?

The vibration of those things swimming and crashing through sand would shatter the bones of everyone riding them. Plus how the frick could they get off? Even if they managed to stop the worms, they would immediately get eaten by them.
How the hell did they drag this shit out for like 7 hours over two movies and the story still feels just as rushed as the 80s movie and simultaneously boring?
that really bothered me. shields attract worms but
they are on top of a giant cliff, unreachable for worms, clean targets for picking.
it would make sense to turn on shields immediately. kinda dropping out every ounce of common sense just to make a cheesy action scene.
its only a push of a button to turn it on and off.

Getting hit with a laser with shields on causes a nuclear explosion
This would actually improve the movie instead of the bright yellow filter. Looks like a real monster. Add the wierd sounds too and it's creepy. What we got have none of this amosphere but more like 'meh, nothing will happen'. The desert should be scary and hostile, especially during the night, not like a school field trip.
Worm poop makes you trip, worm blood makes you psychic (but only le women strong enough to survive it - MY FRICKING ASS) frickin I bet you roll up some dried wormscales and it gets you high and worm meat makes you jacked. I need me some of these space worms ASAP.
>but only le women strong enough to survive it - MY FRICKING ASS
I've always figured that shit was just Bene Gesserit propaganda to gatekeep that stuff. Do the books really show men dying after drinking it?
Bene Geserit use their praxu-bindu training to chemically alter the Worm Blood to make it not toxic to humans. Without the training, the water would kill you.

no, their vertibird planes
directors are vain c**ts that cannot help put their own spin on things
>new is always better
They should have made the bristles blue so that the the mouth looks like a blue iris, thus highlighting the the worms' relationship with the spice (and also making it look less like a gaping anus). Huge wasted opportunity.

It's a bit more nuanced. They lose because they're terror troops who suddenly found themselves fighting people who were not at all terrified by them.
So the emperors personal army, the most powerful army in the universe, only works against the weak and afraid?

Kino
such bad acting
Why don't they just shoot missiles at the worms, they have spaceships right??
Spacing guild knows that the worms make the spice so they said no to shooting them from space
Can't tell that their mouths are round if you just make it impossible to see.
This would actually improve the movie instead of the bright yellow filter. Looks like a real monster. Add the wierd sounds too and it's creepy.

Asian jeet CGI artists cannot into art and kino. They went with what they know of: giant curry turds and tapeworms.
So, is it worm stomach acid, worm blood, or worm piss and poop?
Blood. Their poop is the spice
Worm poop makes you trip, worm blood makes you psychic (but only le women strong enough to survive it - MY FRICKING ASS) frickin I bet you roll up some dried wormscales and it gets you high and worm meat makes you jacked. I need me some of these space worms ASAP.

Worms are literally unable to live on other planets than Dune. They're spiritually bound to the planet and they die when taken away.
why did the sandworms look so fricking underwhelming? there's not a single good frame for them in 5+ hours of runtime.
