Whenever I feel like something is more fan service than contributing something original, I use a couple of mental models: pilgrim vs tourist
But also canon vs fan fiction
Do you think villaneuve's dune is more fan service / tourism? Is it adding anything new to the world of dune?
(As much as I enjoyed it and want the answer to be "yes it's adding something," I'm worried the answer is no)
- low_tech_love 3y agoFor me it's fan service, but there must be more to it that I'm missing. Apparently it made nearly half a billion dollars over a budget of 165 million, so it cannot be just hardcore sci-fi fans. Chances are it's simply not my cup of tea, or not the cup of tea of a few people who value other kinds of experience on movies. I have a cousin who loves the movie and he says that the cinema experience is amazing, the images and sounds and the whole thing kinda pulls you in. Maybe that's just it: technical quality.
