Oh yeah, there were a lot of weird monologues in that movie.
Sounds like we need a Dune Cinematic Universe.Kugelfisch wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2018 1:42 pmA thing I don't like about the entire series is how many loose ends there are. There are things brought up to never matter again, characters just don't show up anymore, plot points are entirely dropped. For Dune Messiah it makes sense to drop several things as at some point the situation drastically changes. That's plausible as things can happen that just overthrow plans and it's fine to shake up things to confront the characters and the reader with something unexpected.
But especially later on, too much is just left in a ditch. Futars and Handlers, the priesthood of Dune, the Tleilaxu and their everything, especially Axolotl tanks, the entirety of Ix, the Imperium and the importance of the great and smaller houses and so on and so forth.
Oh and fucking space Jews. What a waste of time and what a silly concept. Too many factions are just never really explored. Too much is left in an unsatisfying open end or just doens't matter anymore because we skip ahead thousands of years. Most importantly, it's just not Dune anymore after God Emperor. The whole flavour changes too much and when Chapterhouse comes around the writing style changes so much it reads like one of those craptastic Cthulhu mythos books written by some wanker other than Lovecraft. It's writing about similar things and uses the names but reads nothing like it.

It's baffling how he got dropped stone cold while the much, much more boring non-character shithead was turned into the main character across six books. I'm still mad about that.

Well, he was her lover in Dune Messiah. How can the prequels set him against the Duncan ghola when he's not a ghola at that point?

Re: Books
They did several prequels: a trilogy set before the OG Dune, an unfinished series where each novel is set between an original one(so "Paul of Dune" comes between "Dune" and "Dune Messiah" and "Winds of Dune" comes between "Dune Messiah" and "Children of Dune") and a series set during the machine years and then a series that just recently finished where we see the development of the Guild, Bene Gesserit etc.Kugelfisch wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2018 11:19 amWell, he was her lover in Dune Messiah.

They have been releasing new Dune books every two years or so since 2000.
