Dune 2
With adaptation, there’s always that balance of accepting it on its own terms while being pedantic about what’s changed. It’s great. Almost all the changes made it less weird and palatable for general audiences. Really clever choices with Alia and such. There are parts where taking away that weirdness somewhat dilutes the story. It’s less weird than Part 1, surprisingly. And going forward, I mean, the series doesn’t slow down.
But yeah, it’s great. A little rushed. Changes with Chani felt like a modern concession. I don’t think Timothy Chalamet can grow facial hair.
