Refuse to watch anymore adaptations with the feminazi sjw bullshit.

I was asking Pr.

There is no feminazi shit in the film. But with your history of mental illness, you're probably gonna see it anyway.

I still think comics should follow the example of the toy companies they way they sort of/almost used to. You look at say, Hasbro. They have toy lines for kids, and toy lines for "collectors" which essentially is men in their thirties and forties with money to burn that don't mind spending 300 dollars on a super-sized Galactus toy. And people might say "that's not inclusive". The Mandalorian is pretty widely liked, and that didn't have to sacrifice giving the old fans what they wanted to get new fans on board.

Imagine a situation where you can buy the Wolverine comic you like to read, and then go one shelf over and see a whole shelf full of comics for your kids.

I see what you're trying to say, but it's not like Marvel doesn't have their All-Ages stuff... and, surprisingly, some of that All-Ages material is better than the mainstream universe.

So it doesn't always go as planned and can miss its target.

I'm actually gonna be watching it in about an hour. I'm a bit wary of it, but I like Villeneuve's work so far, so who knows.

We officially started dating, that we synchronized so good?

Saw it a few hours ago.

With no spoilers, I'll just say that you can expect a similar experience to Blade Runner 2049.

I think it's the implementation more than the idea that's the problem. They're not pushing it enough. That, and the main series would still have to find ways to cater to the core audience without alienating new people. And that isn't hard. The people in charge just aren't interested, and they're hemorrhaging money.

lol.

So long, slow, but visually beautiful? I'll take it, I suppose.

Pretty much. Yes. Well, BR seemed better at the visuals department, but there are other factors to be considered such as different projection screens and my eyesight getting worse.

The sequel is confirmed, afaik (and Mungi was nice enough to hit on Galan and informed all of us), should take only two years, so we ought to refrain from judging it too soon.

Two years are like two minutes for KMCers, after all. We're the ultimate personification of the time perception disorder.

Accentuathe feminine
The audience for science fiction tends to skew male but with “Dune,” Villeneuve saw the opportunity to make a film with strong, fully rounded female characters, starting with Lady Jessica (Ferguson), the mother of Paul and a member of the Bene Gesserit.

“At the very beginning of the creative process, I remember Eric Roth asking me, ‘What is the most important element I should focus as I’m starting to write the first draft?’ I said, ‘Women,’ ” Villeneuve says. “There are so many things in the book that are so relevant and so prophetic but I felt that femininity should be up front. We needed to make sure that Lady Jessica is not an expensive extra.”

To further bring forward the book’s female characters, Villeneuve made the desert-dwelling warrior Chani, played by Zendaya, a significant presence in the film despite the fact that she doesn’t appear until the second half of Herbert’s novel.

“As the movie was evolving, Chani just kept growing and growing because I just was fascinated by Zendaya and her presence and how magnetic she was,” Villeneuve says. “ I shot more and more scenes with her. We improvised stuff. I was just so inspired by her.”

In one of the biggest departures from the novel, the film changes the gender of the character of Liet Kynes, a planetologist who has a deep understanding and love for Arrakis and its native people, the Fremen. In Herbert’s book, Kynes is a man but in the film she is a woman, played by British actress Sharon Duncan-Brewster.

The switch was suggested by Spaihts as a way to make the story feel more up to date.

“Herbert’s novel is, to some extent, an artifact of its time and it definitely skews male in ways that don’t feel completely contemporary now,” he says. “Of all the messages in the story, the message brought by Liet Kynes of planetary stewardship, of the preciousness of resources, of the necessity of building bridges to local communities to sustain ourselves going forward — those are modern messages, and it seemed right to modernize the messenger.”

Accentuate the feminine. Masculine outdated.

Feminazi bullshit.

"Feminazi bullshit."

Says the guy who lives with his own sister and her boyfriend.

They are probably on their way to having you legally incapacitated and delivered to some retirement home in Mexico.

There, you'll get your limbs chopped off and get assfucked for the rest of your life.

Stilt the sjw apologist, how far have you fallen.

Quite the opposite. I kill sjw people, eat their corpses and use fragments of their bones as toothpicks.

I just don't see problems where there are none.

Want to end the feminazi nonsense? Good, then start with your home --- or you're still getting forced to take Callie for a walk and change the veteran's diapers all while the lucky couple fucks on your bed?

Since you're so submissive, maybe you want to pay my rent while you're at it, too?

Denis Villeneuve talks about accentuating feminity over outdated masculinity, and you don't see anything SJW about that.

You are in denial, comrade useful ijiot.

The movie is fine. It's not great, it's not shit. It looks beautiful, but its a tad shallow at times. The acting is decent in places and passable in others. Chalamet and Zendaya were the wrong choices for their roles, though.

Also, Jason Momoa should never be clean-shaven. Ever. It's an abomination that should be killed with fire.

I'd love to see Villeneuve tackle Alien, though. He's like Ridley Scott but not as senile.

Either way, it's not some SJW-fest. Not remotely.

Yeah, I don't hesitate to call woke shit out when I see it, Dune isn't a woke at all.

That's a relief.

Tbh, I'm a little fed up hearing about how oppressed and great women are, because experience teaches they will literally cut off your skin and make a coat out of it.

I just hope the male feminists end up with a woman boss one day. Or five of them. Bet that changes their tune quick.

Hyperbolic much?

This is something I think at another time Stilt would not only agree with me on, but suggest I am understating.

In your experience.

A women will LITERALLY cut your skin off and make a coat out of it.

Not figuratively, literally. That is what experience teaches you.

Are you skinless?

Yes. A dog uses it for a warmer.

Wow Darksaint is skin shaming...

On the bright side I won't need a costume:

Just put him on ignore, guys.

Coward.

You've said far more misogynistic stuff in the past. And I know you know women are the worst.
