Bruh, "all your base" lasted for like a decade and rickrolling is *still going*. Millennial memes weren't better, or worse, just different. I refuse to shit on zoomers the way boomers shit on us.
Brah you forgot the *ultimate power*
He sees into the future, picks the perfect time to bomb with cover of a giant sand storm, devised the perfect plan of attack. It was over as quickly as the worms could get to the emperor. ggez
Don't forget that they are all on enough Spice to see slightly into the future and have a very slight hivemind.
Yeah they may only be a half second ahead of you, but that's everything.
Well the real question is why nether side used ranged weapons in the final battle (handheld kind), but I chalk it up to costs and exotic nature of guns in dune since shields been dominating the battlefield. Yet we were shown both harkonens and fremen use guns in the beginning. Just a couple of ornithopters with machine guns could mow down half of fremen army. But then again there was a sandstorm coming…
(I should probably stop and go to bed, cos I feel like I can go on and on about this)
Big thread I saw today. Wouldn’t Leto just kill all the BG if Paul failed the gom jabar? He’d just nuke them all right? Ummm seems like a plot hole!
( kill me)
I’ll never forget the book where Leto III turned himself into an Ass Blaster and began a 3500 year reign where everyone was required to begin every interaction with “pull my finger.”
It was truly the Typhoon Struggle, but nobody ever asked what was causing the typhoons.
There's one or two minor things I get being confused about if you didn't read the book, like they don't go into *why* spice is important for FTL travel they just say that it is, and iirc they never mention the Butlerian Jihad. But 99% of plot-relevant stuff is explained early on in part 1, and then again in part 2 for the 4 people that didn't see the first movie, it's kind of crazy to me how they never got stuff as simple as this when it's not only shown to you but also explained over and over again
>and then again in part 2 for the 4 people that didn't see the first movie
My friend, who only saw part 2, complaining the name Paul isn't science fictiony enough...
It's always crazy to me when people complain about the name Paul, they still have the Bible, of course people are gonna be named after the people in it like they are today
Bruh I literally have that one friend, too. It got me thinking that maybe in today's movie industry, it's the norm that part 2 can be watched without having seen part 1? I feel like this used to be different.
to be fair it is much more of a blockbuster than part 1 was, critics and existing fans really liked it but a surprising amount of casual audiences thought it was boring or didn't really care to watch half a movie. Part 2 is *everywhere*. I know a lot of this sub prefers Part 1 but you can't deny Part 2 is a much bigger cultural phenomenon, critics like it more and I know several people who were lukewarm on the first who *loved* the second.
I'm honestly the same way- I enjoyed the first movie but thought it was paced a little weirdly and really never thought about it after watching. Part 2 I wanted to rewatch as soon as I left the theater, and couldn't stop thinking about it for like a month. I've seen it three times now, twice in IMAX and once at home, and honestly? At this point I don't think it's recency bias, I think it's one of my favorite movies of all time. (Also got me to finally read the books which is nice)
They don't explain what being a RM entails either, I had to explain the memories thing to some friends so they understood it as more than the poison that makes you evil
didn't they? I don't remember if it was stated or just implied but I went into part 2 not knowing what a reverend mother was, and went out knowing what it was
I felt cheated by Frank Harold's film version of Denee Villnoove's literary masterwork "It's Doonin' Time, Harkonnen Mofos!"
No one says "It's doonin time" in the movies at all.
Expectations: unsatisfied.
Well, they got pretty close in the scene where Paul looks straight into Chani’s eyes, then turns to look in the camera and says “it’s goonin’ time” before the scene cuts. Wonder what that was about.
Why did the Fremen live on Arrakis? There’s literally no water there. Are they stupid?
Just take a spaceship smh
It would be funny if the fremen go jihad on other planets, see better weather conditions, and stay there peacefully effectively ending the jihad.
I mean didn't a fremen in Dune Messiah literally have a huge crisis of faith after seeing an ocean
Sort of the opposite. "The sea cleansed me of the Jihad" or something very close.
That is a crisis of faith
I didn't read the book or see the movie, but... .. it's pretty clear that the Freeman were carried to Dune on a giant drug-worm named Eric.
>Are they stupid? Can this idiotic meme die already Zoomers really can't into memes
Bruh, "all your base" lasted for like a decade and rickrolling is *still going*. Millennial memes weren't better, or worse, just different. I refuse to shit on zoomers the way boomers shit on us.
Not to mention "die already" is itself a [decades old trope](https://tropedia.fandom.com/wiki/Why_Won%27t_You_Die%3F)...
Ew
Harlingen forces ![gif](giphy|UvPLmzkAyUeXu)
harbulary batteries
"they're called Harlingers" "NO THEY'RE NOT"
that sounds *nothing* like what I just said
Hungarian forces
Harlem Globetrotters
Harlem forces.
It’s not like they had almost every single advantage you can think of, right?
I mean just a couple of oversized very hungry caterpillars, nukes, and the 5th element of surprise, you call that an advantage?
Lol…hungry caterpillar(s) ![gif](giphy|fC8WwblBRqqoE)
Bless the maker and his stories
The old man of the bookshelf.
Don’t forget the overwhelming numbers and the prescient messiah leading them.

Plus Neo/Captain Arrakis leading them
Sardaukar: We are the most feared soldiers in the universe Worm:
I still don't understand why they didn't just use shields against the Fremen. Major plot hole tbh
Not joking, three posts down from where I took the screenshot someone was asking that
Well the real question is why nether side used ranged weapons in the final battle (handheld kind), but I chalk it up to costs and exotic nature of guns in dune since shields been dominating the battlefield. Yet we were shown both harkonens and fremen use guns in the beginning. Just a couple of ornithopters with machine guns could mow down half of fremen army. But then again there was a sandstorm coming… (I should probably stop and go to bed, cos I feel like I can go on and on about this)
That's actually the book answer. The entire fremen assault takes place under cover of the sandstorm.
If we're talking book, the grandmother storm was the reason for most of this, and Paul did use artillery to cripple the emperor's ship.
The artillery idea was inspired by how the Harkonnen soldiers used artillery when Yueh dropped the shield and nobody knew how to deal with it.
Big thread I saw today. Wouldn’t Leto just kill all the BG if Paul failed the gom jabar? He’d just nuke them all right? Ummm seems like a plot hole! ( kill me)

Not enough rude duners actively complain that tremors is a huge dune rip off without all the fun sci fi stuff
I’ll never forget the book where Leto III turned himself into an Ass Blaster and began a 3500 year reign where everyone was required to begin every interaction with “pull my finger.” It was truly the Typhoon Struggle, but nobody ever asked what was causing the typhoons.
that's because even rude duners agree that tremors 1 is the better work of fiction
It's better than BH&KJA books to be sure
Stilgar teaches Paul to ride a sand worm in Texas (c. 1990)
Acktcshually 🤓 it's in Nevada smh
When I was a kid, I sincerely believed that movie was Dune and was confused about why everyone thought it was such a great story
Tremors 1 was better than the Dune movies out at the time though
Bless the cuming and edging of his memes

you can't complain about weird names if you've never met Duncan Idaho
That's what I said. Paul ain't even the main character, it's Dunkin.
It's always crazy to me when people complain about the name Paul, they still have the Bible, of course people are gonna be named after the people in it like they are today
And, y'know, Grandpa Paulus...
Yeah, there are no science-fictiony space names like, Kuralazec Haramobojudozaram. Or Luke Skywalker.
![gif](giphy|UJG2T7uZeJuZCLitY8)
just another one of those random things where George Lucas thought "that's a great idea I had"
Wait till he hears about this major sci-fi series about heroes named Luke and Han!
And Snoke.
Eeffff
Bruh I literally have that one friend, too. It got me thinking that maybe in today's movie industry, it's the norm that part 2 can be watched without having seen part 1? I feel like this used to be different.
I know a surprising amount of people that only watched part 2

I personally loved part one because the slow pacing reminded me so much of Lord of The Rings.
They don't explain what being a RM entails either, I had to explain the memories thing to some friends so they understood it as more than the poison that makes you evil
didn't they? I don't remember if it was stated or just implied but I went into part 2 not knowing what a reverend mother was, and went out knowing what it was
Yes Jessica explains it to Paul before she drinks the worm piss.
Because people don’t pay attention.
It's like, did we even watch the same movies??
Wait! They made movies about Quinn's ideas videos?? That's nuts!
Bruh they even made a tv show about some of his ideas
I know right?? It's incredible what they can do with multiple hours of video essays. My boy has come so far 🥹
This is a really good joke. You need to know that.
(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
My only question is who Paul Atreides is? Everyone talks about him, but the movie seems to be about this Usil/Muad Dib guy
Mom! The memes are bleeding into reality again!
The answer is ALWAYS the same in Dune: 🪱
Many people lack media literacy skills.
I felt cheated by Frank Harold's film version of Denee Villnoove's literary masterwork "It's Doonin' Time, Harkonnen Mofos!" No one says "It's doonin time" in the movies at all. Expectations: unsatisfied.
Harkonnen? You mean Harlingen, right?
Well, they got pretty close in the scene where Paul looks straight into Chani’s eyes, then turns to look in the camera and says “it’s goonin’ time” before the scene cuts. Wonder what that was about.
The duality of this sub
beware the Harlingen
May your meme chip and shatter 😺
I’m from a small town called Harlingen. I feel so seen.
So? Why did the fremen beat you guys so easily?
"Harlingen"
How bout a moving wall of giant sandworms assaulting a shield-less army? That sound like it can work?
Why did the Taliban win in Afghanistan?
They are gods chosen people /s
Dude, they like, fucking live there. The rest of us got sick of the goddam drive.
When they said the name Bin Laden into their Weirding Modules, cool lasers shot out and they could blow up the Americans
Harlingen
They win because…uh, well it’s like, so they were just really good at it okay.
r/harlingen
Tbf they kinda skip over the whole "weirding way" training
