Spyke

His character portrayal was better than the old movie. More believable, more like the book.

I'm in the "both" camp I like the cinematography of the 2021 edition, and Hans Zimmer really did a great score they make it look and sound futuristic and cool, but you need to read the book first as they skip a lot of the plot.

But the 1984 edition is still good, sometimes I start humming the main score and then I know it's time for a rewatch.

I loved “the voice” effects of the 84 version. The new “voice” sucked.

Something about the resonating/reverb sound effect of the original felt so cool. Like a nagging command or idea that just bounces around in your head and amplifies with its harmonic frequency until it truly compels the listener.

I like the 1984 up to about 2/3 of it. After that it feels rushed and gets pretty confusing. I also really dislike the shield generator effects.

i liked the ornithopters. i really need to reread the book (i was not the most lucid when i was reading it in the 90s and do not remember much)

I read it a few years ago and to me it was a difficult read. Not that I didn't like it but in my mind it didn't resemble the movie very much. Or more like... how could anyone read this and then think "let's make a movie of this"?

That's definitely a legit take, but it seems like the joke of the meme is the 84 version is bad, and that's what makes me bristle.

I'm not old enough to have any skin in that game, but I definitely go back to it more often than the original trilogy.

You're right. I'm tripping. Don't know how I got that idea.

Same though. Just vibed with it so much harder.

You're right. I'm not familiar with their history, I just remember a Dune game. There were blob men

I think you should reverse the images, Kyle McLaughlin was the better muadib

He was a better Paul Atreides as well. I didn't get a "affluent duke's son raised in privilege" vibe from the new Paul, I got more of that vibe from Zendaya ffs.

I did a Google search for images where Dib from Invader Zim is depicted as Muad'Dib, and there apparently aren't any. You have let me down, internet!

The guy on the right is the real Kwisatz Haderach, the guy on the left is an imposter.

1984 Kwisatz Haderach was a proper scion of a noble family and would never publicly rip the arts.

I prefer Dune 1984, so for me MacLachlan is superior... Maybe i misunderstood because of the current DLSS 5 meme wave ...

I think you have to be the product of millennia of selective breeding by a futuristic coven of space witches.

Also don’t use shampoo more than once a week, and always condition when you do.

Left: AU Muad'Dib where he's a Zionist, apparently.

Diet Zionist. Worse in some ways than someone who's just up front about it, as evidenced by your question.

All it's saying is he banged your mom, but I don't see how that's relevant.

I am genuinely not sure I ever see myself tiring of this format.
