So my mouth got me in trouble today on Facebook because of this movie.


First off I haven't seen the new Dune movie yet. I made a comment in a Facebook group saying that I thought the lead of the movie seemed like a strange choice for Dune. He's really skinny, effeminate and probably cares too much about his hair. I think its like Holllywood is trying put forward this odd beta male type as a means to indoctrinate the masses and say this is what Men are supposed to be and that's kind of scary if you ask me. Well the moment I said that I got attacked as being a toxic white male promoting heteronormative blah blah blah whatever bullshit liberals and radical feminists spew because they view me as subhuman. I didn't get a chance to respond and the comments went off the rails and my post got deleted. Point I'm trying to make was this guy doesn't seem like a leading male material. He's probably their to make Zendaya be the "strong female lead" to boss him around.

Actually, that has been already confirmed:

"In an interview with La Repubblica (translated by IGN), Villeneuve said that Zendaya will be the primary protagonist in the sequel."
