cast someone better then. which brown princess can fill her role? hard mode, no latina
This. Or, even this. What's worse is that she was in Spiderman 1 right along with Zendaya. My man chose the wrong peanut butter girl.
Can she act?
So-so. Significantly better than Zendaya.
not really
so leagues better than zendaya
she's the chick from forspoken. not really but definitely better than zendoobie
Well that was easy
i-is that an attractive female lead??
Any actually pretty woman would do better. Acting ability was never a real qualification here (as evidenced by the entire cast)
alright, let's call it an early then shall we?
Zoe did "angry scowl" well enough in Batman. I'm sure she could pull Chani off.
I wish she's pull me off
she's 10 years old than Chalamet
So? Paul should be a literal teenager.
>Paul should be a literal teenager.
Then why is he played by a 10-year-old?
Why brown? The book does not call her brown. The kids are not described as half brown. Why?
Hollywood shit now needs to have diversity hires in leading roles. Preferrably ugly.
It was either her or Paul.
She lives on a desert planet, moron.
>Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense!
Right.
Would a person who lived their life on Arakis have pale skin? You would have more melanin to protect yourself from the UV rays of Arrakis.
>Would a person who lived their life on Arakis have pale skin?
You do realize that ethnicity doesn't develop over one's life, right? This bullshit of yours is like an even more moronic version of Lamarquean evolution.
And, by the way, Arabs aren't black. The overwhelming majority of people who live in or around deserts aren't.
It's not the skin color that gatekeeps blacks from desert living it is the lack of abundant resources.
Nothing you wrote has anything to do with the post you replied to.
It's positive affirmation of that post. Blacks typically only exist in environments with plentiful resources which contributes to their lack of planning and forward thinking. They never needed to develop or select for these traits because they just held onto land that provided an abundance. The point is that "desert people" is less a matter of physiological adaptation (there is some of course like asians) and more a mental adaptation. The best physiologically suited human specimen to live in a desert gets out performed by the best mental human specimen because long term desert survival is s bigger challenge than day to day desert survival. Work on your reading comprehension.
are aussies brown?
Abos are nig level black
...so? Do you think waspy boomers retiring in Scottsdale magically become brown?
Well well well... the pot is calling the kettle Jamal! It seems you are the moron that needs to be harnessed on the bus. Your mom and your dad both setteled and you are the result. Frick you and anyone that looks like you. homosexual.
>wears a stillsuit 24/7 that covers so much skin that it reduces water loss to a half ounce a day
>lives underground in a sietch
>must be black because muh desert planet
You stupid fricking moron.
Just to hammer it home
>Flipped Day/Night cycle (only comes out between twilight and dawn)
If anything they should be pale with hints of a literal darker past.
You’re confusing ethnicity with getting a fricking tan
Fremen are space arabs. Them being brown isnt too unbelieveable.
a high caste desi girl would work, I can't think of any though because I'm not a pajeet
la creatura
she cute.
The only good suggestion ITT
I'm always posting her in Dunc threads. It's very sad to watch Dunc 1 and 2, suffering through so many closeups on scowling zendaya, and knowing it didn't have to be like this..
I'm looking forward to the fan edit that removes most of Chanis scenes. Someday we might even get an AI edit that replaces her entirely.
>Someday we might even get an AI edit that replaces her entirely.
Might as well just reshoot it with with a better cast and director, rather than trying to salvage that piece of shit.
That's what's frustrating. It really had the potential to be great. But this nagging, scowling, modern sensibility character is constantly pulling you out of the immersion.
The Chani changes really are the shortcoming in part II. She was devoted to Paul and a believer all the way.
I was wondering why her character seemed so frickin weird, it's been forever since I read the book.
There are really good audibook versions. I listen to them up to god emperor about once a year. Frank just wrote well.
this
the pure lack of charisma and scowling are just awful
are we supposed to like this character?
I think that was the goal. Which is very strange, considering the movie does a good job of hyping the mood for jihad, only to immediately and repeatedly countersignal with this wet blanket scowling shitlib. Im pretty sure in every single scene in which Paul takes a step towards Becoming Who He Is(tm), Zendaya is there to scowl, roll her eyes, or naysay. Every single time.
There were better ways of conveying the theme that the whirlwind of the jihad was bound to lead to negative consequences in addition to total victory. But apparently Villeneuve or his masters couldn't stand being so subtle.
%3D%3D
what the FRICK are those weird bright things all over the Lawrence of Arabia screenshot? why isn't the image in shades of brown and grey? fricking cinematographer a shit.
this is the lamest bait I have seen in my almost 20 years coming here.
I think Denis presupposed we would like her because part 1 starts with her voiceover and she's effectively a clone of Neytiri, who Avatar fans like.
she was forced on him by the studio
he's also a total pushover who doesn't care either way
which is why dunc feels so mediocre
I think we don't care her because she ends up being at the middle of a huge problem with the Dune novel: the fact that Frank Herbert didn't want to write a simple revenge story but wound up doing one anyway because it was just easier.
it's like her whole role is to go "nooo this is a satire like Starship Troopers" when the plot just doesn't support that.
it's bland gray slop
in keeping with denis style
no creativity, no artistry, no risks
She's distractingly ugly, particularly when placed next to Rebecca Ferguson. And she's nagging and doubting in her tone. Maybe a more pleasant actress could have sold it better, but if the tragedy is supposed to be Paul loses Chani when he loses himself to his Terrible Purpose, then there's got to be something there to begin with that's worth cherishing. With how Zendaya behaves in Dunc 1&2, it honestly seems like by the end, Paul is launching himself into space with the boys, just to get away from his harpy gf.
she's supposed to be a native princess
while she's being mogged by male background extras
her tone and facial expressions are offputting and uninviting, not ladylike or attractive
>if the tragedy is supposed to be Paul loses Chani when he loses himself to his Terrible Purpose, then there's got to be something there to begin with that's worth cherishing.
Yeah they didn't give any reason to like chani. she just seemed a pain? There was one scene where they did sand walking together which was nice, but not enough. Dennis ending the movie with a shot of chani sulking was certainly a choice...
>Dennis ending the movie with a shot of chani sulking was certainly a choice...
That will be fixed in the fan edit. I promise.
>the fan edit.
Villeneuve's "fans" think it's perfect the way it is though.
Is the fan edit of 3 going to make chani Paul's concubine? How will they reconcile this stuff?
I will disregard 3. I hope it is not made.
I will simply remove most of the shot of zendaya from 2. There are other flaws in 2, but that that One Neat Trick will achieve the most gains for the least effort.
>the whirlwind of the jihad was bound to lead to negative consequences in addition to total victory
it would still run into the problem that none of those negative consequences affect anyone the audience cares about.
Image composition like this demonstrates why spending all your budget on actors overhyped on social media instead of a competent cinematographer is a terrible idea.
Honestly, just casting capable noname actors would make movies cheap to make again. Budgets could be spent correctly, and cinematographers could make kino flourish once more. Talk to me is a great example of what amateurs can do for cheap
>pic
the fact that I can see that and still realize its a drawing of zendaya speaks volumes of her
shes to beautiful bros
/thread
>botox lips
eww
you moron.
sexo
Princess Irulan.
Irulan is supposed to be beautiful
I feel bad for chani as a woman.
She might be too old
Casting her as the emperor was a wild choice, but it worked out ok I think.
This is the gayest shit I've ever seen. If you watched this movie and enjoyed it, I do not respect you
the way poka-dot man blinks is the coolest blink ive ever seen
>no one has posted the mspaint version of Zendaya
You disappoint me Cinemaphile.
Thank you
Zendaya is not the problem, it's just chuds saying that. It's the character as written in the screenplay (which is not faithful to her depiction in Part I, let alone the book) that is god awful. Zendaya was fine in Part I IMO.
Zendaya is literally never fine. In anything she's done.
>Zendaya is not the problem
Zendaya is part of the problem.
Yes, Villeneuve is a bigger part of said problem, but that doesn't absolve Zendaya.
>Yes, Villeneuve is a bigger part of said problem
Elaborate
Trash director in, trash film out.
Explain how he's a trash director in detail
Watch his films.
I won't go into any more detail than Villeneuve himself ever does.
this
his work is lazy and uninspired
mean spirited even
he doesn't know how to direct actors
which is the primary job of any competent director
the guy is a schlub
his biggest problem is story editing and structure.
you can get away with autistic direction if you understand what information the audience needs and give it to them efficiently so they don't get bored and give a frick about the characters.
Denis' two best films are Arrival and Sicario, neither of which he had a writing credit on. it's not a coincidence.
he's never made a good film period
Arrival was mid but Prisoners is kino
>Zendaya is not the problem
Yes she is. She is unpleasant to look upon, and limited in range to either scowling or looking vaguely puzzled. Under the auspices of a competent director working from a thoughtful script she might rise to mediocrity; as it is she is a carbuncle upon every work in which I have seen her, and nowhere have her shortcomings as a thespian been more evident than in Villeneuve’s clumsy and indulgent hands.
>She is unpleasant to look upon
she isnt
she's objectively a 5
if you saw her working at starbucks you wouldn't give her a second look
a 5 is a 5 bro, thats half a perfect 10. Plus in real life she looks better than in her movies.
She’s brown
Always frown
Looks like Down
Your a clown
Zendaya dog looks disapproving in your direction and also off to one side
holywood is doing you incels a solid by lowering peoples beauty standards
Funny how male actors are all required to be hot and fit but females can have pickle jar chins, crossed eyes and stumpy limbs and coomers still simp for them.
well go woke and call for change then you feminist kek
>feminist
Mate if they didn’t have breasts and a c**t I’d throw rocks at them.
Men are simple, we just need a warm hole
Total agreement, brother.
don't even care whether she can act tbqh, she's hot and that's that
>no latina
and why is that? The leader of the freman is literally a hispanic. Why this bullshit standard?
latina? warped american brain thinking white, black, mexican are the only races. it is an arab culture...
Latina is the best casting for Chani if you want to go by the books, she should be half Fremen (Arab) and half whatever Liet Kynes is, probably some Germanic looking white dude.
The Fremen are NOT Arab they're modeled after Circassians. Chani would look similar to this woman. Notice her elfin features.
no one wants to watch a movie about circus folk
>Circassians
cool beans
most attractive brown actor are latina
I'm just limiting the option
God Tier Casting:
Lady Jessica, Irulan, Duncan Idaho
Mid Tier:
Baron, Feyd, Rabban, Yueh
Surprisingly Shit Tier:
Stilgar, Duke Leto
Shit Tier:
Nearly everyone else
Zendaya Tier:
Chani, Black person Kynes
>Irulan, Duncan Idaho
No.
DUNC is mid tier casting all around with the sole exception of Lady Keksica
HOW THE FRICK DID EVERY SLOP KOJIMBRO TOUCH TURN INTO KINO?!!!
>brown
if they had cast this random white girl it would have been a massive improvement.
Obvious choice. Literally why not?
Too old
The casting isn't great but that isn't the main issue. It's that PLUS she was written to be a massively annoying piece of shit. Everybody, and I mean everybody, is sick of modern american women.
Imagine if Arwen nagged Aragorn to come with her to the undying lands instead of saving the world and got b***hy when he was given Narsil.
>Everybody, and I mean everybody, is sick of modern american women.
Literally the most privileged and pampered class of humans to exist in history, and yet constantly whining about how oppressed they are while schlicking off to A Handmaid’s Tale and wondering why they can’t seem to find a ‘real man’.
I hate them so fricking much bros.
might as well go full moron and cast her
At least she can act. Albeit one-dimensionally. Lol imagine her next to twink ~~*Paul*~~ tho hahahah - homie wouldn't be able to kiss her without a stool and T supplements
Maisie Williams looking good!
She actually looks good in this shot. Not so much in the second movie though
Sophia Boutella.0yhmst
Durr the girl from Split
Chani and Paul Atreides
baby yeed staring at dem big brown tiddys
>which brown princess can fill her role?
The fact that you restrict our choices to browns tells me that you are my spiritual, philosophical and cultural enemy and that any tactic I can devise to ensure your defeat is justified.

Just got home from the movie and man Zendaya really stands out like a sore thumb. What a waste
