>makes star wars troons uncontrollably seetheDune is orders of magnitude better than every other sci-fi franchise and it's not even close
>>219837237There aren't many sci-fi franchises. So why compare?
I wonder if you zoomies will abandon it once they're done with Paul and then worm-man Leto becomes the main character.
>>219837237I like Dune a lot. Even some of his sons stuff, but it's not the best franchise.There's too much shit of no consequence going on, and not enough depth to things that should matter more, like Navigators, Tau Laixu etc.
>>219837237The movies are shit compared to the books.For that reason alone, it can't be the best franchise.
>>219837237As far as /tv/ goes, my favorites are>Star Wars >Avatar>Mad Max>Dune>Alienin that order.
>>219837237The expanse is better than Dune
>>219837263
>>219837237Dune is pretty good overall.But DUNC is complete and utter trash.
>>219837312Canon situation is different for each:>Star Wars 6 movies, comic material, animated mini-series, some novels, and some games. Couple of Disney things have Apocrypha status.>AvatarMovies + Frontiers of Pandora. >Mad MaxFury Road + Furiosa. First two movies have Apocrypha status.>DuneBooks + Villeneuve adaptation (contradictions be damned).>AlienAlien, Aliens, Prometheus, and Covenant. 3, Resurrection, Romulus, and some comics have Apocrypha status.
>>219837237>Dune is orders of magnitude better than every other sci-fi franchiseIndeed. A shame it never got a good movie and only a passable low budget miniseries adaptation of the first book.
>>219837237zased
1 is mid2 is goodLet’s see how 3 goes
>>219837555>BooksMost of them are trashy cashgrabs, generally not accepted as "canon" by anyone but their creator.>Villeneuve adaptationFrank Herbert loved Lynch's film.Brian Herbert loves DUNC.
>>219839048>BooksRegarding Star Wars, I said some, not most.Regarding Dune, it's only the Frank Herbert ones. >Frank Herbert loved Lynch's film.Lynch's Dune is fine, so could be convinced to list it under Apocrypha.
>>219839218Lynch's Dune is not only a better film in every single regard than DUNC, it's also way more book accurate (even with the changed ending). It coined iconic phrases that the franchise is popular for that were not in the books ("The slow blade penetrates the shield") and it created an aesthetic for the universe that the author approved of, rather than an anaesthetic for zoomer audiences like DUNC did.
the new dune movies are boring and im tired of pretending they arent
>>219837237If Dune Part Three is even remotely faithful to its source material it's going to make the brainlets using Dune as a rebound from Star Wars seethe. It's basically going to be three hours of Paul being a wishy-washy cuck who can't stop anything bad from happening to him and then he walks out to the desert to die. Dune Messiah is the Last Jedi before Star Wars even existed
>>219839438>muh zoomersThat is your real problem with it, no?
>>219839452I dare you to open up Dune Part Two, jump to the 1h50m mark and let it play from there. If that's boring to you, then your brain fried.
Lawrence of Arabia >>>> Dune and Star Wars
>>219839610Maybe if you like Turk dick.
>>219839048>>219839218>>219839438The good parts of Lynch's Dune are really good. Herbert liked the navigator so much that he "stole" the design for his novels and other stuff like that mentat mantra with the sapho juice are original from the film and yet super-iconic, to the point that most people misremembers it and believes it's from the book.
>>219839610Not sci-fi. >>219839618The turks aren't really the protagonists, it doesn't take a hard side. Still, not comparable to either of those movies.
One can tell because we need constant reminders of that fact.
>>219839883you've never read Dune
>>219839582Damn it only requires skipping the first 4 and a half hours of DUNC to find something exciting to watch.
>>219839883>Check out my EVIL UNDERPANTS bros
>tfw no Rebecca Ferguson reverend mommy
It's annoying that even after making a big effort to differentiate itself from Lynch's Dune, DUNC still has the problem of underexplaining the setting to newcomers.
>>219840323
Where do Fremen get materials for basically everything they need? They have clothes and advanced technology but I only ever saw sand and rock on the planet
>>219841509through their smuggling connections (they bribe the guild with a shitton of spice through them to keep them from putting up satellites and making everyone find out there's actually more than like 2.5 fremen per sq ft,) killing harkonnens, and turning spice into a shitton of things in the sietch factories like spice paper, spice plastic, etc
>>219837237Star Wars is mostly shit, but at least the movies have good music. DUNC is shit in every way.
>>219841509Spice and its byproducts can be turned into basically anything. It's like petroleum being turned into plastics.
>>219841553new thing bad old thing good, go demoralize on /pol/ instead randeep
the best sci fi franchise is the holocaust
>>219842197This.
>>219837269At budgets of 9-digits, it's about theme park rides not strange sci-fi concepts and how characters interact with them at length or depth (prod team see the "esoteric" as nerds talking to a wall.) It's a theme park ride.
>>219841588>new thing bad old thing goodDo you love Brain Herbert's books as well, anon? After all, they're the "new thing" as far as Dune books go.
