Well, Dune is kinda stale. It's certainly not for everyone, but I thought he did an amazing job of brining the books to life.

- boppo1 3y agoI disagree, I loved Dune. Messiah was a little hard to follow, but Dune was ace. It felt like part one sanded off all the interesting bits and gave us a really generic brutalist aesthetic scifi.

- bsder 3y ago> Well, Dune is kinda stale. Yeah, I have to concur with that take. When I read Dune, I just didn't find it that interesting. It rarely felt like the characters had agency--a lot of plot tokens were collected and redeemed to move the story forward (whoops, story needs to move--time for a new, previously unmentioned superpower). And quite often the characters were just cartoonishly dumb or smart or good or evil. As you said, it's certainly not for everyone. I suspect it's more a "product of its time".
