would love your pontifications upon a Dune metroidvania
The only genre of video game that could possibly capture the scope and depth of Dune's narrative is the match-three dating sim.

Nothing will ever be as disappointing as it was when after I finished watching dune 2 (I watched dune 1 like five hours before seeing 2), and I thought to myself "amazing characters, interesting world and plot AND it's older than Star Wars??? I bet there's a bunch of super amazing fics about these characters!"
And then there wasn't.

Dune lore is fucking insane. I just finished the first book, and have concluded that Frank Herbert is a goddamn genius.
20,000 years in the future.
Matriarchal cult of eugenisist space-nuns with weird psychic powers
Houses that resemble the royalty of medieval earth, all still obsessed with power and profit over everything else
complex religions with clear inspirations of real-world present religions (specifically catholicism and islam)
Human supercomputers?? that are also assassins??
A prison planet that creates supersoldiers by killing the weak to filter out the strongest
the main villain being the physical embodiment of sin (gluttony, lust, greed)
politics. holy war. oppression of native peoples. false prophets. cults. drugs. worms.
and that just scratches the surface. theres five more books…

Dune is almost gone from cinemas and I didn't do any art ghhhh
Words cannot describe how emotional I was during both films, Part One was what pushed me over the edge to pursue an art degree, and now Part Two is probably one of the last movies I'll get to watch in a theater with my mom, so they're kinda a big deal in my life, you know?
I'm working on an actual Dune piece, but in the meantime I made a doodle to show my appreciation for both Frank Herbert's novel and Denis Villeneuve's film.

Reading Dune - I really wished they’d left that in the movie(s)… what a prediction:

The whole genetics project of the Bene Gesserit may have been dubbed a failure because Paul wasn't a girl but there was nothing stopping Paul and Feyd-Ruatha acting on that sexual tension they had in both book and film.
Paul could have taken Feyd as a third Consort. Just imagine Paul with his Empress Irulan and his wife Chani sitting at his side and Feyd just sprawled on the dais steps just wearing something scandalous like
You were right Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam, wasted potential.

Little detail I loved in Dune Part Two was Irulan recoding her notes on a futuristic phonograph cylinder because the AIs fucked things up so badly the entire human race is now fanatically opposed to anything as advanced as a calculator.
