In honor of the horrible discourse and misunderstanding of the meaning of dune, I’m bringing back this video that clearly explains what Dune is about. If you haven’t read the books, this is essentially a crash course:

Anytime people fail to recognize Dune as a commentary on colonialism and resource extraction in the Middle East, I worry how many authors will shy away from writing anti-heroes because they don’t trust today’s readers to understand they don’t endorse these characters

it’s cool this guy hated the ussr because he was a hardline Russian nationalist ultra Christian. None of the stuff he wrote about in Gulag Archipelago actually happened and took him out of the country and told him to get lost instead of kill him. He also LOVED Putin lol

People who prefer performative outrage sure do love making themselves look foolish while also hurting their own cause. – at Jefferson, LA

Many are noting the Islamic/Orientalist aesthetics here but they're missing the other half. The script on the throne looks like cuneiform, of bronze age city states. Paul is not just sultan, or caliph, he's god emperor of the known universe like the first kings of civilization

the worst things the USSR did in the long run (inventing Ukrainie, elevating poles to sentience, creating Moldova) all prove that in his fight with Rosa Luxemburg on national self determination, Lenin was, for the only time in his life, wrong.

I don't disagree that there could have been a thoughtful way to have Arab representation in Dune but not with these characters. I beg people to trust that muslims would not want to be associated with Prophet Warlord Adolf Mussolini and Fake Populist Saint Psycho Teen Girl

“studied jujutsu kaisen and demon slayer to learn about storytelling”
Inde Navarette says she studied anime — including ‘Jujutsu Kaiden’ and ‘Demon Slayer’ — to learn more about screenwriting & storytelling.
“I learned about timeline and about storytelling—how a person can have a monologue at the beginning of the episode that matters two episodes later or even at the end, and that person's dead and you don't learn it until then—and then attaching that to my screenwriting and trying to learn that way.”
