    Part One was better. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Editing … I was actually thinking of picking up the books. The world really interests me but none of the adaptations has been able to faithfully adapt the books. So I guess the only way to really get into it is the books.

      Editing … The 2000 sci fi series most accurately hits the plot beats of the book, and it manages to be the worst adaptation for it. Villeneuve knows what to include on screen and how make it work, but I really wish he didn't omit so damn much from Part Two.

      Editing … Even without reading Dune, I could just feel that both Part One and Part Two were skipping lots of material.

      Editing … wow even if just 4 of the books are good it still seems like more than enough to dig into. I think I'd like it going off of how weird the universe is. I think I really liked the 80s dune the most with the practical effects. The costumes were also really great.

      Editing … I think the coolest part of the dune universe is that it is set far into the future where technology has already caused problems for mankind. It's thinking far past the AI apocalypse. The creation of machines that emulate the human mind is forbidden. That resulted in a weird-ass hierarchical system where the human mind has becoming the most important value. Everyone is trying to expand the human mind in the most fucked up ways imaginable. It's prefect. And also the weird 4000 year old human monster thing that snorted too much spice.

      Editing … The only thing Part One cut out that I wish had been included was some of Yueh's backstory and motivation, but to be fair, I wish even the novel had gone into that a bit more. But in Part Two, Alia was one of the parts I was most curious to see. Also requiring the entire story to take place over less than nine months requires cutting out an important death from the book that would have provided great motivation for Paul to travel south in the movie despite his visions. And why have Stilgar get all excited at Jessica being a "Weirding woman" in Part One if you have no plans at including the Weirding Way? I think a lot of the aspects of Part Two will bother me less on a second viewing with adjusted expectations, but right now I yearn for something closer to what I imagined.

      Editing … Also which four books? It's certainly not the first four. I've been reluctant to read past the first book because Messiah is generally considered the weakest. Villeneuve is going to have to pull out all his tricks.

      Editing … Yeah, the first four are the ones I always hear are the best, or at least the only ones worth reading. I've never heard anyone say anything good about the books post-God Emperor. I figured I might read the first four sometime.

      Editing … I read the first four Dune books since seeing Part One in theaters when it released. The OG book is the best, I read Messiah in like two days so it had to be good but I don't honestly remember where the cutoff between books were, Children is good and I had the biggest grin on my face at the crescendo of that one.... God Emperor is a slog but maybe a slog by design... Films.. Dune Part One I loved, Dune Part Two felt too Hollywood... Fremen acting like dumb stereotypical americans instead of a badass desert tribe

      Editing … Oh and Herbert doesn't always have the best views on race, sex, and religion. Be mindful of that if your sensitive to that kind of stuff. But that's the same for a lot of scifi of the time.
