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.
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.
