i dont think the sandworms particularly like being on the surface and just dive down again after being exposed to air for a long time
but im sure theres an autistic bookgay around here somewhere with a better explanation
In the book they generally ride them until they're so tired that they just sink down into the sands to take a nap and so yes they don't particularly like being up top like .
so you have to walk back after the worm takes you 50 miles from where you were
You can control their orientation by pulling back scales so presumably they just rotate themselves near the ground and hop off. IIRC, it's not mentioned explicitly in the books. Worm riding is actually pretty unimportant to the story
That jumped out at me when I finally read the book. All these years I thought worm riding was a huge part of the story. The scene is actually pretty short with little buildup, and is mostly just meant as bonding moment between Paul and Stilgar.
In the books they mention they usually ride the worms until they're exhausted. Then after you climb off the worms usually go back under the sand to "sulk".
so do they have to keep circling if they want to stop somewhere specific?
I think you'd only be using worms for long, treacherous journeys, if it's a smaller distance you'd either walk or use an ornithopter.
science. fiction. FICTION. PHICK. SHUN.
One of the focuses of science fiction is an attention to detail on the minor aspects of how the world works. It's baked into the genre. The universe has answers to OP's legitimate question so I don't even know why you're seething so hard
science fiction is not fantasy moronic Black person. It still has in-universe rules the characters need to folllow.
Do you think they get embarrassed, especially when they're caught together? You think Stacy worms get the ick if the Fremen capture and ride some Chad worm?
how did they get his mom and her little tent on the worms?
they built the worm around her
Parachutes?
>wouldnt they have to get off super far away or the sandworms would attack them?
They don't mention how they get off them in the books, but they have mentioned that when they do get off, the worms are very tired and go deep down to sleep
He looks so fricking stupid, super gangly.
Like when you sometimes try to run in a dream and you drop to all fours and run like an animal, looks like he's about to do that. What a dumb image.
In theory, the rider drops a rope down the side of the worm and dismounts using that.
i was mostly confused when his mom and 100 other random people appeared on top of the worm after a jump cut
bookgays explain pls
Every question about the worms would be easily answered by the floating devices everyone uses, but the Fremen don't use them for some reason. Those things possibly look even more OP than shields.
Dunc 3 looking LIT
AS WRITTEN!
they get dropped off at the worm bus stop
There is a little dangling piece near the head. They stroke that, and they get the worm off that way. This is how the spice is made.
Doesn't the hook pull the scale outward too so the worm rolls as to not expose its inner skin to the sand and generally makes the worm physically uncomfortable and disinterested in feeding till it recovers?
