This doesn't feel like Dune, it feels like generic SyFy slop, "Game of Thrones was popular let's do a Game of Thrones", Bridgerton in space, CW drama with occasional spaceships. Meh.

I've only read Dune not the other books but I assumed the Bene Gesserit were supposed to be attractive since their whole purpose is to run around, frick men from powerful families and control them from the shadows...
these girls are all 5s

Yeah, they're supposed to be beautiful temptresses who eventually age into bitter, spiteful hags. As in, that's literally the Bene Gesserit philosophy on how to train members of the order.

This isn't the Bene Gesserit yet tho. This is more Witches vs Patriarchy before they get some real discipline.

I am still mystified at why people think it is good. I've read the first few books and I kept waiting for something to pull me in but it just doesn't. The world building is okay, the characters suck, the way they all talk is straggy, and Herbert does a ton of exposition dumping. Worms are cool though and Villeneuve did the best he could with the source material (Blade Runner/Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep are way better).

I kept hearing how Dune is smart and dense and I guess it is slightly smart but it's really not that dense or hard to follow at all. Nor is it THAT smart. You just get a lot of the characters inner thoughts while they puzzle out what their opponent might be thinking but what their opponent is thinking/their motivations are usually really obvious anyway.

I didnt realize it came out today so i watched the trailer and basically picked up on everything you said already. Dune was always a slow burn/ascension to power, this felt like it hit every single modern cliche that makes this shit suck. "Were fighting an invisible war" yeah ok thats just marvel teir VOs for christ sake. Hopefully Denis contines to kick butt despite this trash.

the idea behind the bene gesserit is a bunch of uppity butt foids manipulating events, bloodlines basically everything from the shadows. They are not the "good people" in any sense of the phrase. They are shown to be corrupt, power hungry witches with extreme misandry.
Because this is modern hollywood slop that of course means they are totes the good guys and everyone else just needs to fall in line and let the yaaaasss queens slay.
The odds of this show being good were something like 3%, maybe less.

It really is unfortunate that Hollywood has created this expectation that any story revolving around a woman/women is this predictable slop. Like at this point it just makes me completely lose interest with a woman lead and it wasnt like that before 2015-ish. I almost skipped the Fallout show over it, but they managed to write an actual character

It looks great, Rebecca Ferguson is dommy mommy, etc. The problem is the Timmy and Zendo are the most boring parts but they don't really have to DO anything, they just exist to have someone to point the plot towards. It's much more Rebecca Ferguson vs. Stellan Skaarsgard/Austin Butler and THAT shit is delicioso.

Idk I haven't read the books but love the Villeneuve movies and I enjoyed it minus Charlie Hunnam Jack Sparrow started doing the mind burning shit. A lot of what I like about Dune is the lack of "magic" in the traditional sense so this bad actor going "ZAP!" has me losing hope already.

Watching is the mind killer,
Watching is the anti-kino that brings total woke-slopification,
I will face the woke-slop,
I will permit it to pass unwatched by me and through me,
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see kino instead,
When the woke-slop has gone there will be nothing, only kino will remain.
