   Both Dune movies would count as having White leads if you classify Jessica as the female lead rather than Chani, but Dune does feature an interracial couple so it gets cast into the basket of deplorables regardless.

     @stoner713 Fair enough
     
     Other random thoughts:
     
     Villeneuve has great visuals, good ideas, and ok execution that is gimped by clownworld requirements for divershitty in casting
     
     Having Stellan Skarsgård play Baron Harkonnen as a stoic calculating monster rather than a jovial pederast was actually an improvement, there was actually minimal faggotry in the movie (the less the better). Feyd-Rautha's character was also improved significantly with 'noble demon' qualities added in
     
     Sandworms looked great

     @TrevorGoodchild @dubbub @Viking5050 @judgedread I thought that Leto was not manly enough and he came across as very whiney, though he had the right look. Jessica was not nearly beautiful enough to be the Dukes concubine, she seemed worn and haggard and a bit shrewish.
     As for the rest, well...I didn't get that far, but you are probably right.

     @dubbub @TrevorGoodchild @Viking5050 @judgedread I honestly tried to watch the new Dune. When I saw Thufir Hawat was a niggeR and Duncan was an island niggeR, I turned it off. The Ornithopters were cool though.

     @stoner713 @dubbub @Viking5050 @judgedread Frank Herbert was a retard about miscegenation and action grrls himself so I can't fault Villenueve too much, but the absolute worst casting decisions were:
     
     1. Chani (enough said)
     2. Liet-Kynes (changed from a patrician slender blond nobleman to a niggerbitch, particularly insulting as he's Chani's Dad in the novel)
     3. Thufir Hawat (from reserved sage to fat mystery meat, luckily his character just got disappeared from the rest of the movie following the Atriedes curb-stomp)
     
     Momoa as Duncan Idaho I'm indifferent about as the character was described as kinda Asiatic in the books iirc and at least he has solid physical presence. Yueh as an Asian was actually smart. Jessica, Duke Leto and Irulan are very well cast (the Atreides are implied to have a Med background). Walken as Shaddam is . . . Walken (so, awesome). Javier Bardem as Stilgar is way too fucking fat and comical.
     
     The ornithopters and the Sardaukar were the highlights of the film for me, particularly the way they depicted the Sardaukar language being spoken and Salusa Secundus.

     @Viking5050 @judgedread Annoyingly, they could have just as easily cast the actress that played Shishakli (Chani's friend) in the role and hit all the marks. She's Flemish-Tunisian and far more physiognomically similar to the way Chani is described in the books. All she would have needed would have been red highlights to her hair.
     
     She's also a far better actress than the nigger mongrel, her Sietch Tabr death scene was very well done

     @TrevorGoodchild @Viking5050 @judgedread The original Dune cast was perfect already, should've just cgi-pasted the faces and redone the sfx. The remake reeks of political subversion, Paul being a kike, the interracial, how they have to grovel before niggers, Stilgar turning into a babbling woman - the whole plot is basically the Third Reich fighting CHAZ.
     
     And Jason Momoa is a pedophile, man do I hate his visage.

     @judgedread Chani role. She didn't even attempt at some Fremen like accent. She came across as some brat from the Bronx. The nut job in the earlier movie did a better job. Weakest aspect of the movie. They set up the next one to show her as a jealous bitch who Paul will have to win back over so she will bear twins. Valuable plot time will be wasted on this bullshit. Princess Irulan will tell us of the carnage going on off world. Dune is not a love story. Sex is for Bene Gesserit gene manipulation purposes. That little bug-eyed actress will probably play a good insane Aria. The chick who played Irulan was very good though. She probably will go on to be Paul's chronicler as well as involved in some plot twists.

     @Spergo1875 @BattleDwarfGimli Honestly, the books went downhill with the end of Messiah, and God-Emperor is just . . . Not that good at all
     
     Unlike LotR, which was masterfully constructed and concluded

     @BattleDwarfGimli @Spergo1875 Who knows, they're desperate for hits though so they'll keep throwing money at any semi-successful franchise revival they manage
     
     I think they will definitely do Messiah at the least

     @TrevorGoodchild @BattleDwarfGimli Yeah they hit a bit of a wall when you get to God Emperor.
     When I was growing up everyone always said they'd never be able to pull off a good live action Lord of The Rings.
     God Emperor of Dune has that distinction now. They'd make half the movie flashback scenes with just Leto II living in his own head. The ultimate incel.

     I should hope. I take it then, that there are plans to see this all the way through? The last couple of books were rather phoned in... I think the last decent one was God Emperor.

     @Spergo1875 The navigators don't get really introduced until Dune: Messiah (Edric) so this may have been deliberate for sequel purposes
     
     I, too, am very tired of seeing infinity niggers on camera. I know many of you will be shocked to hear me say this

     "The navigators don't get really introduced until Dune: Messiah" - yes. I was stumped when they appeared in the Kyle McClaghlan/Sting version.

     @TrevorGoodchild @stoner713 @dubbub @Viking5050 @judgedread Spot on with the ship designs. They were the best part. But still no Guild Navigator? Cmon man...
     I sat through the first one, then kinda skipped through the 2nd.
     I like Momoa, but he can't be any Duncan other than Grugg Duncan. Mentat Duncan just won't work with him.
     
     More gay/more niggers/kikes playing White people. That's the Hollywood checklist now.
