They probably toned down the Baron because he's the only homosexual depiction in it. I will never forgive them for ruining Kynes character, and putting somebody so ugly as Chani.
Yeah there are lots of details about the movie that pissed me off and because I've seen the original film too as well as read the books. It's a classic case of when you've got the original source material in memory and you know a lot about it they really shat on all of the lore as far as I'm concerned. The representation of the Harkonnen in particular was pretty awful because they toned down a lot of their evil behaviour from the clips I saw.
What's hilarious is, it's clearly another lazy reboot cash grab so I don't know why people are praising it so much. There's a game that came out around a similar time which predictably lost it's hype pretty fast. The voice actors in the damn trailer weren't even pronouncing Harkonnen correctly. It's like with the witcher series and the Niilfgaard armour all over again. If you can't even get basic details like that, then you obviously don't give a shit about your work.
Genderswapping Kynes alone should have sent alarm bells off with anyone who knows anything about Dune.
I could go off on a large tangent about how it makes no fucking sense given the entire political and gender-aspect of the setting as a whole, but, eh. Try to point this out and you get a horde of midwits mumbling something about how I hate women or blacks or something.
It's weird because I loved the movie but have never read the books and her character doesn't do anything woke. So they just pissed of hardcore fans without pleasing marxists or ruining the movie.
The rest of the movie is great IMO. I want to read the books now.
I'm sure there were a bunch of hardcore Dune fans that were making excuses in their heads when they went to see the movie. It's just pure power-play. Same with the race-swapped fremen and Chaani.
And yeah, you really should read the books. They're a classic for a reason.
