This is CRAZY

florence confirmed lets get it

Christopher Walken arguing with a 4-year old Alia

Fam…

omg wat

I thought Emperor eyed young but maybe they’ll de-age him? Idk

Is the emperor significant/is he going to be a player across multiple films?

Cause buddy is 80 years old lol

Sorta but he just has to have a few chats and stand there

Letos age roughly iirc

This presentation really helps nail in the scope of everything going on. Herbert was a genius for coming up with all of this.

I would watch but don't wanna be spoiled

It doesn’t spoil past the first movie

Dune > Lord of the Rings just because it avoids the good vs evil trope and shows how politics/religion/environmental problems aren’t black and white.

Fair but was it already a trope before LOTR also it was written during the time of fascism vs the world so it was kinda relevant. Dune came out during the cold war and reflected the more complex nature of man at the time.

Good points

Not that I’m saying Lord of the Rings is bad I just enjoy the complexity of Dune personally

yeah I just finished Children Of Dune and it definitely makes LOTR look like Sesame Street in its themes etc. I'd say Tolkien had a more expressively descriptive way of writing his characters, settings and situations but he doesnt get nearly as cerebral.

Also a good point

Lord of the Rings is very character driven

Captain Nemo is the only other fictional character I can think of that was written as epically as Aragorn and Gandalf

very different books

"I know nothing comparable to Dune except Lord Of The Rings"

• Arthur C Clarke
  

Also akfresh did not me

Yeah I guess the books aren’t very similar when you think about it other than being very epic
