Dune has gone WOKE

Let's examine the evidence:

- Liet, one of the most interesting characters in the novel (and my favorite one), the man that truly fights for the planet and its people... has been upgraded to, wait for it... you guessed? Yeap, a black woman 😄

- Lady Jessica is now... "a warrior priestess". They have taken the Bene Gesserit and transformed them in modern empowered super-ninjas-warriors. 😄

- Diversity rules! lots of blacks! yaiii! Of course, that doesn't apply to bad guys. The villains are all of them white males without exception. Did you have any doubt?

- In the promotion of the movie, the director has stated that he's very feminist. Brace yourself.

BAN ALL WOMEN AND MINORITIES FROM CINEMA! Just make every movie about WHITE MEN! That'll solve all the bitching from red-pilled virgin simps on the internet!

BAN ALL WOMEN AND MINORITIES FROM CINEMA

Why do you think that?

[–] sONOMArEturns (1269) 4 years ago

Because it would make you happier, duh.

Interesting.

Since you have decided you know better what would make me happy and what not, and you have decided I'd be happy banning all non-whites from the screen, explain why I argued that Freemen should be interpreted by Arab actors.

Please, elaborate. I feel really curious.

Oh okay, so arabs are fine to you, but not black people or women? Just because you halfassedly defended one race of people doesn't remove the fact that you are making a big deal about women and black people appearing in Dune. Even then, you're still trying to argue that arabs should only be playing roles such as freemen, whether you realize it or not. I guarantee you with my next six paychecks that if an arab actor were cast in some white role from Dune, it'd inspire you to have another bitchfit on MovieChat.

You think it's weird that people in a SCIENCE FICTION UNIVERSE aren't the same races as they would be in real life? Wow, it's almost like it's make-believe. You're seriously saying desert people in movies should only be middle eastern? That's like saying any scene that takes place in a ghetto should have nothing but black people, because it's "realistic". You don't think any black people live in the AFRICAN deserts? You don't think any white people live in the Nevada deserts? No, all desert people need to be brown. It's hilarious how backward your logic is.

"ANOTHER WOKE FLICK!!! - Arab actor appears in movie for white people??? "

But keep telling yourself you're defending all races. Go ahead, you have me intrigued.

Can’t wait for the all white cast MLK biopic

Disappointing.

I didn't get distracted by the actors. The story moved, the visuals were great and the acting was better than the 84 film.

There was some dialogue that was delivered poorly, but other than that, I thought it was a solid film.
