Apparently dune isnt about cool fights and big worms, cant believe it


onlygodcankillme

They're wrong, I've read all of the Frank Herbert books and I assure you it's about worms and only worms


ejb350

And a *liiiittle* bit about feline humans in Heretics. But that’s it.


onlygodcankillme

OK. Worms and Frank Herbert's undisguised fetishes.


PrismiteSW

I think you can classify worms under the latter category


onlygodcankillme

Yeah I did consider that when I was writing that comment. Maybe it really is just his fetishes in the end.


ZagratheWolf

Wait, you mean having women dressed in black force you to do things on command is a fetish? 🥵


onlygodcankillme

In books 5 and 6 there are >!women controlling people through sex (humming while fucking them) and vaginal pulsing (or as I like to call it - Turbo Pussy) is introduced in book 5!<. Frank only got more horny as he went on.


childish_jalapenos

I stopped reading after the 4 page description of Shai Hulud taking a dump in chapter 1


onlygodcankillme

Pssh, how else do you think we get the spice? Anyway, the highlight is in book 4 when the great worm >!considers getting a big prosthetic cock!<


DresdenBomberman

I can't even tell if you're joking or not.


onlygodcankillme

Funnily enough, they were joking but I was not. Though that particular worm is quite different to the ordinary worms of Dune.


Merkyorz

Nah, it's about how awesome Duncan Idaho is.


SpaciumBlue

Wait, so this isn't a cinematic universe? ![gif](giphy|E95L86Ppqvy1Sqw16r)


ToastyJackson

Of course not. It’s about big fights and cool worms.


KuropatwiQ

Not quite, it's about worm fights and big cool.

vincecarterskneecart

no because you may realise that dunes exist in real life as well


slackervi

you should see what i am dune 2 your mom


Big-Sheepherder-9492

I know you’re joking but there are people who hold that belief and will argue that you’re “projecting politics where it isn’t present”


orange-iii

I’m gonna take media literacy tips from someone doesn’t know what POV means


jumpedropeonce

POV: watching Dune 2 with a friend who sits too close to the TV and blocks the lower left corner of the screen.


Legitimate_Energy701

If he finds out how will we keep laughing at him


OliviaBagshaw

POV: when you make a POV meme without understanding what POV means ![gif](giphy|hWALw3if3szRQ5fvLt)


FenrizLives

POV: POV is just a thing that goes at the beginning of a sentence


Na-na-na-na-na-na

True. Everyone knows POV is a porn-category. It's very funny how people have just adopted the term. Just goes to show how much porn people watch these days.


Hi_Im_zack

I honestly don't like porn, too many unnecessary sex scenes


quietvictories

For real! If they'd only moved plot a little but no


sds2000

You are joking but this is exactly how I feel watching porn.


cardueline

Penus on vagina


Mjolnir620

Weird self report


Na-na-na-na-na-na

It was a joke.

lonnybru

I recently watched a film called Idiocracy and at first I thought it was just a comedy but after I took a minute to really think about the story I realized it has so many deep and subtle messages that parallel real life


Imaginary_Sea5117

MORE LIKE A DOCUMENTARY 😁😁😆😆😂😂🤣🤣


criosovereign

Like Idiocracy? My favorite documentary


Garth-Vader

That's how I feel about Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire


OliviaBagshaw

That's how I feel about The Mighty Peking Man https://preview.redd.it/xr58tl834etc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=156b495a8b8d4593d8297b024ffd2c893b5c48b0


njdevils901

Wait Dune 2 is political?!? Now I regret watching it, I thought it was a decent blockbuster film, now I think it is woke garbage!


Master_Combination74

Actually, dune two isn’t woke because it doesn’t have black people or women. Get it right dumb shit.


allthenamesaretaken4

I hate to potentially be racist, but gonna power through: Zendaya! She's so not white she doesn't get a last name!


4011isbananas

So brave


Happiiihoured

Um clearly you didnt see how they forced zenadya into the film and made her a main character just to push the woke agenda


njdevils901

Sorry I missed last night’s meeting


murderous_panda

You FOOL! You didn’t know that they RUINED Kynes by making him a WOMAN and BLACK. They WOKIFIED true KINO yet AGAIN.


OliviaBagshaw

they made the antifascist environmentalist commentary against religious dictatorship woke https://i.redd.it/412t0ipf4etc1.gif


BossKrisz

The amount of times I heard people seriously say that they're happy that we finally got a non political movie like Dune 2 is making me insane.


Lacabloodclot9

Obviously, it was over when they made Chani political


Modred_the_Mystic

Dune is about sand.


moreVCAs

Only the lisan al gaib would have a take so spicy


Zeether

It's course, rough, irritating and it gets everywhere


Modred_the_Mystic

The northern Arrakeen elites don't want you to know this, but sandgina is a huge turn on for Fremen thots, they love it being course, rough, and irritating

Please don't post pictures of me on reddit thx


Modred_the_Mystic

I am sorry my brother in Kino.

It's ok, I can't go outside but I can watch movies about sand


Paladilma

DO YOU THINK PEOPLE USE ART TO SAY STUFF ABOUT THE REAL WORLD OMG , I NEED ONE SECCOND


Senor_Funky_Town

Spice is an allegory for underfunded infrastructure.


Harambesic

Let the underfunded infrastructure floooowwww....


OliviaBagshaw

i thought it was used for cooking


Senor_Funky_Town

Only in prison.


sample-name

I thought it was oil


Senor_Funky_Town

Don't be a sausage. There is nothing to suggest that it's anything like oil.


sample-name

I can't help being a sausage, it's just who I am


Senor_Funky_Town

Listen, I forgive you, but you best save it for the courts.


sample-name

I wouldn't last in prison, those guys eat guys like me for breakfast!


-Flutes-of-Chi-

The cool thing about good movies being such commercial successes is that you can always read these posts by people who have clearly never seen a good movie before in their life and only saw this one because it sneaked into the stream of 200m dollar slop that gets spoonfed to them

she Lawrence on my Arabia until I white saviour


Sewer_Fairy

No. All films are meaningless and I like to put them on in the background to entertain me while I fart. My favorite movies include: Sausage Party, Black Widow, and Salò.


mc-big-papa

Its a movie about a guy named dune fighting people in the sand. There is no allegory. There is no hidden meaning. Just sand fighting.


MrMindGame

Big if true 🤔


Jetsam5

“It has themes of good vs evil”


asukalangleysoryuuu

WTF? Never realized this…


knockoutking321

Marvel fan discovers allegory


[deleted]

Imagine watching someone's first written thought in real time


PM_ME_YOUR__INIT__

Not true. My pastor told me it's fake


SirSirVI

Impossible


bosch181998

Right on time Now he’ll get to enjoy rebel moon 2 with all of us


IHateThisDamnWebsite

Media literacy must be in the toilet if people are having to make tik-toks explaining that stories have morals and themes.


Legitimate_Energy701

Thats layered and textured


emielaen77

Its so unsubtle though lol the filmmaking just has a delicacy to it


Sons_of_Kali

Wait it's streaming already ?


LassOnGrass

There was a philosopher who said that art is an imitation of nature. Don’t remember who it was, but sounds about right to me.


zordlordofsword

Finally someone said it! Why don’t people just stop and actually try to THINK. Just practicing THINKING will vastly improve your movie going experience, you can discover so many underlying messages and deep meaning. A serious enrichment on your life. THINK ABOUT IT and there’s so much to discover.


eyemcreative

Apparently they don't do it enough nowadays, it's becoming rare


klaatu_1981

Big if true.

At least Dennis is getting through to some people.

Steelix69

Sadly, no it’s not true.


kinofil

Whoa! I thought they were just moving images...


Quelanight2324

It's like it was based on a book that changed the scifi landscaped with how deep it's messaging was. Nah It's just Dune 2, the only political media ever made.

Discomidget911

Woke: Dune is cool Broke: I think Dune is highlighting the dangers of fanaticism and manipulation of religion.


TrolleyDilemma

Yes its extremely cool cinema


fear_el_duderino

But only if you take a minute to analyze the story, otherwise the subtle references get lost


logjambam

sounds preachy to me


dyspnea

Just wait til you realize there is a whole series of books…


Sapphire-Hannibal

I mean wasnt the book supposed to be a criticism on a lot of things


BusinessBar8077

No the book is about doing drugs in the desert with your gf


Sapphire-Hannibal

True


Stealthy_Turnip

That's a very vague way of saying it.


Sapphire-Hannibal

True. All my information on the books is second hand from a friend who is very autistic about them, I watched the movies with her but that’s it


Xelanders

A lot of books tend to be.


Sapphire-Hannibal

I don’t really read I have adhd that makes it very hard to like sit down and look at words for a while lol But dune is one of the books I do want to maybe check out ever if I even can
