So HotD, as its fans apparently call it, has been low-key cringe for quite a while now. While it is not wholly lacking in virtue, it has done its fair share of pandering to the crazies. The season finale, which I was stupid enough to watch, brought things to a new level.
They brought on a GUY IN A DRESS to play an actual woman. With all their CGI and sound transforming technology, I could immediately tell that something ain't right. And once I figured out the character's name, it turns out she was played by... a bloke who presents a Youtube channel called Philosophy Tube. He looks like this. His name is Oliver Thorn, and he masquerades as Abigail Thorn. Don't you love the names that these cross-dressers pick - the "it's ma'am" fellow called himself "Tiffany", because of course.
Suffice it to say that """"""""SHE"""""""" was flirting with a guy, saying that he has good genes, and that """she""" wants his babies... and that he should therefore lie with """her""" wives. What? I thought: well yeah, you're a bloke - you can't get pregnant, but you do have wives.
It's just a ****show as well as a **** show.
Why am I telling you this? Misery loves company, I guess?
I have some criticisms of Dune unrelated to Zendaya - and even Zendaya had her moments. Dune 2 at least.
What's up with the races? Why are half of basically Bedouin people black? What's up with 'the fundamentalists in the South'? And what's up with people who supposedly speak a sort of Arabic as their native language having the most obnoxious US-coastal accent?
All in all, I'd give it a passing grade, though just barely. The fact that we label such crap as 'excellent' shows how far our standards have declined. You can watch a run-of-the-mill movie from 20 years ago that is better, like Johnny English, and you don't have wokeness shoved down your throat either.
The number of people whom consider the new Dune movie such a wonder-watch depress the absolute fuck out of me.
I shouldn't be surprised. I doubt 90% of the people masturbating about said movie have actually sat down and, y'know, read the fucking book.
The first movie cemented my opinion that the director's knowledge of the Dune universe is a very, very wide puddle - impressive looking at the outside, but immediately goes dry the moment you jump into it. Yet, here we are, people loosing their minds over how supposedly awesome it is.
Arabs aren't diverse enough, "diversity" really just means black nowadays.
Even with real history that's the case, like with black (and Baizuo) Americans calling Egyptians racist for having a problem with a "documentary" that lies about Cleopatra being black.
Thats Because most Arabs are black. Muslims love to pretend they are white as a trick to get the local populations to accept them.
That's one of the most retarded things I've ever read, congratulations.

No... but, uh, Arabs aren't black...
Yeah, definitely. It kinda makes me want to see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (34 years old) again.
You heard accents in Dune? I couldn't hear anyone talking. I mean it makes sense noise attracts worms, but trying to hear that movie is impossible
I couldn't hear all the worm and engine noise over those insufferable accents of Zendaya and Chamelet (who should be stripped of his French last name as he's clearly undeserving of it).
I couldn't hear half the dialog of the movie.
