    Loved the books and read them multiple time from Dune 1 to “Chapter House”. Even try one from the son of Herbert, and it was utter shit.

    Knowing the books make the movie more enjoyable…

    But you realize how much is missing. The most badass stuff are left out

    spoiler

    The plan of the baron with Raban and Freyd. The intricacy of fight with Luke and Freyd. And… omg, The Feenring couple, the master killer of the emperor who could be a kwizatz too! And the awesome Leto Mentat is completely left out…

    What the movie created: a religious vs science subtext, which give Chani a more interesting character than in the book where she is just a blank love interest. And they did dirty to the mother of Luke, but it is a very nice interpretation.

    I post around 5-10 link per day to feed the fediverse, Some of them come from reddit. Actually , despite all the good intention the fediverse is a dead place compared to reddit. But dont worry, when I read something worthwhile here, I dont post it on reddit, I have no account there.
