Dunebros, did our girl Chani have a point?

Remember in the book when if you killed a Fremen warrior you got to keep his wife and kids for your own afterwards?
it was optional you either took her as a wife or as a servant, and you have a year to make up your mind.
That wouldn't be well received by the public...
A lot of the stuff in Dune wouldn’t be received well by modern NPCs. Frank Herbert was pretty based. The fact that the Baron is a homosexual kiddie fricker and the main villain would make all the tumblr homosexuals foam at the mouth and cry like the first time they lost their anal virginity to their uncle.
powerful.
I'M ACTING!
What floors me, given that it's 2024 days of visual technology, is that the Fremen are literally described with eyes that have "no white" in them (from spice usage their whole lives). And yet, "white" stands in stark and even saturated contrast to the over-saturated glowing blue.
Maybe full-blue eyes genuinely do look worse and distracting, but given each and every scene needs modifying for the glowing over-saturated blue look... why not get rid of "white" in the eyes of every Fremen, too?
because it’d look awful sperg
>it'd look awful
It'd be a characteristic trait. And neat. I'd almost think of it like looking at the deep sea in the dry desert.
>We don't have that here. Here, we're equal
No b***h you are not
>Women are as fierce as the men
Doesn't mean they have 2020's equality ESPECIALLY in a sand planet
It's clearly a script change for... some reason. Frank's book made the opposite very apparent, from start-to-finish.
"Kull wahad! No woman-child ever withstood that much. I must've wanted you to fail."
The Reverend Mother was perfect, though. I really love her
How else would you survive on Arrakis? If you live in the desert, you have to be able to live as a fremen. The aliens are invaders and while they can stay on the planet for an amount of time, they will never be able to permanently settle it.
Unless it was Denis' purpose to cast unattractive people for Frank Herbert's characters...
...I do not understand why those films have such bad casting.
For a book that is explicit and erudite in just how amazing its characters are: how beautiful they are, how charming they are, how erotic, how dazzling, how enchanting, how powerful, how striking, bright, charismatic, exotic, grisly, engaging, purposeful, obvious... all these intensely vivid descriptions of how perfect these eugenic humans of the far-future are that people would willingly kill themselves after meeting they are such good-looking leader miracles -- Villeneuve's "Dune" casts unattractive people for those exact characters.
Why?
Each and every one are unremarkable. Not only is that irritating as a fan, it's outright frustrating as the audience; I don't want to watch these people.
Who else is "unattractive"?
Emperor Christopher Walken
Chani Zendaya
Duncan Idaho Jason Momoa
Bene Gesserit products of supreme eugenics but also Harkonnen Rebecca Ferguson
Among the best fighters in existence Scottish Gurney Josh Brolin
The #1 most sought-after, heroic-seeming, charismatic and endearing prime example of messiah and hero of all mankind teenboy Timothy Chalamet
and more
I can admit, easily, most are photogenic, but nothing about them can shoulder the traits their characters possess: attractiveness. And not just "lol i'd tap dat lol ass ass boipusse lol" attractive, but the type of attractive that makes you remember them.
And, I'm sorry, but remembering Christopher Walken for token roles as some guy from 50s Queens is a poor casting choice for Empiric Eccentric Shah of the galactic political psychedelic dream future.
You are a homosexual.
>I love Islamic women fully-dressed in their desert habits
>It's SEX!
I'm not going to argue my viewpoint with you.
I'll simply reiterate it once more: Denis Villeneuve ('s studio or himself) cast unattractive people for Frank Herbert's "Dune." They were bad choices, both for shallow "movie" value and especially for deep "lore" value. Bad casting.
You are a homosexual.
too many goddamn adjectives holy frick
homie, you can make a case for Pugh or Zendaya being unattractive but these movies have Seydoux and Ferguson in them. You might actually be gay if you don't find them attractive but then again there's plenty of attractive men in the movies too so you've just got extremely bad taste.
Only Timmothee and Austin Butler are really attractive
sounds like you like it up your ass
If you find zendaya hot
Ok so you’re a homosexual that likes twinks.
That's the furthest thing from a homosexual
I'm as straight as they come and yes, Rebecca Ferguson is sexy, but TOTALLY unremarkable. She's "hot," but not even the type you remember.
This is especially true in Dune. Her casting NEEDED to be for attractiveness and acting, but her design suffocates both those points. It's bad casting for her. She needed something exaggerated, but got nothing.
You can claim "setting" or "she can't, she has to wear the suit!!" all you like, but the result is the same: unremarkable.
Which is bad. Bad.

no, she was just delusional. the fremen weren't equal, obviously. Their society was hierarchical and there was a constant subtle struggle for power between everyone with an inner circle of elders running everything and giving orders.
Why would she say that then? She doesn't seem the delusional type
>Their society was hierarchical and there was a constant subtle struggle for power between everyone with an inner circle of elders running everything and giving orders
And yet Zendaya spent the movie talking shit to Stilgar to his face, slapped Muad'dib, screamed at the top of her lungs in a meeting where only Elders could speak. Frick off
Easily the worst and most undermined character change. Her presence does nothing for the plot.
>No! Anon! She's meant to be the audience's visual take as the ONLY person who saw Paul Atreides turn into Paul Harkonnen! She's the only person in the story unaffected by the love-of-her-life's influence and can stay objective and hateful!!
What a b***h.
I would never allow her to be my concubine, holy shit.
Chani is described as being something so miraculously rare for the desert world of Arrakis.
>Chani was described as skinny with an elfin face and had pure, dark blue eyes with no white in them. She had long tawny-red hair.
>"elfin," with youthful beauty (37.91), and her voice has "[s]uch feminine allure in [a] girl-child's voice" (34.177)
Someone so enchantingly feminine and breathtakingly gorgeous, she could be an emperor's choice. She's loving, maternal, caring, and something you want.
Who does Denis cast in his movie?
A desert rat. And a b***hy one, too.
Not only does that just disappoint, but as a viewer, it's hard to look at (or listen to). It was a bad choice.
Unless "he meant to" in which case, I don't get it.
Hi Dune bros, im looking for this picture but Dune version
