[@matiasdevaglia4541]

​@@lizd2943 it's similar in the movie. The shield from the Emperor's ship is doing that light show because of high winds and the impact of sand particles. I suppose they didn't want to obscure the entire scene with a proper sand storm. Also, both in book and film, no one thought the Atreides would use atomics to break a path through the Shield Wall, for a full frontal attack with sandworms and a fremen army. They were supposed to be in a safe place, protected from sand storms and large scale attacks.

Plus in the books, Paul waves away the transgression by saying he didn't aim it at people, but at the Shield Wall - which means he technically didn't violate the convention. Then again, I'm not sure he needed to bother arguying with the emperor about anything, given that the guy had plotted the destruction of House Atreides with the Harkonens, which, if it became known to the Great Houses, would have him fed to the worms in a heartbeat. Houses waging war against each other, that's okay - the Emperor sending his own death commandos to rid himself of a potencial political threat? That's off-limit.

Hollywood nukes keep being lame. The desert probably can't get much hotter than it already is, but everyone near the sphere-ship should've felt the thermal pulse setting their clothing on fire. And that flash - the little that there even was - was very underwhelming. But then again, Villeneuve's style is all about the "moving painting" aspect, so maybe this was better for the visuals. An accurately portrayed nuke would've left a more lasting impression though

[@JunguianPhantom]

I can notice that not one of you read the books. Nukes in the dune universe can be adjusted to do small explosions to dramatic ones. They are also manufactured in a way that, as far as I can remember, there is no nuclear fallout when they go boom. Those are the reasons they became forbidden weapons. Just my two cents here.

[@seanbraley2772]

Nukes in the dune universe are versatile you can set how powerful you want the explosion to be Paul did t want to couse massive radiation damage or mess up the environment around it and make it unusable he just wanted to draw in worms who normally avoided the shield wall and to shock and scare the emperor’s court

[@Izzyduude]

Unless stated in the book they don’t seem “nuclear” but just warheads that have a large damaging ability. Something similar like MOAB but not dropped from an aircraft.

[@jacko0394]

No, they're from the Atreides family atomics. In the book, they worry about the Great Conventions banning of using nuclear weapons on humans. Pauls's argument is that he's not using them on humans but rather on a feature of the desert. They never talk about the radiation from the use of the weapons though lol. Maybe it's not as much of an issue in tens of thousands of years in the future.

[@PrivateMemo]

@@jacko0394 Realistically nuclear weapons don't produce particularly high amounts of radiation. They're airburst munitions. Which means a majority of the radiation dissipates in the atmosphere. The heat radiation and shockwave are far more damaging and dangerous. (Also; It makes no sense politically either. Imagine a nation today nukes an uninhabited part of a nation. That's a can of worms nobody wants to open. Even if no one dies.)

You really have to watch this several times to see the scale of everything in the scene... Like 3 nucs going off the explosion doesnt look very big... then you look below the Emperors ship and see the small little ships that bring the Sardukar down... which are actually fucking massive and then look at the size of the emperors ship compared to them and then look at the emperors ship leaving the high liners which makes the emperors ship look like a bit small marble.

A lot of people are talking about how the three missiles are so close to each other, and how only one probably went off as it could've destroyed the other two. Now idk what Dune's reasoning is exactly, but the only thing I can really come up with to justify this sort of style, is how fighter aircraft tend to fire two missiles at a single target. The reason they do this is for redundancy in case one fails in some manner. Applying this logic to this scene, I can reason that there were potential risks of the missiles being intercepted in some manner. If one was intercepted, there's still two. If the second was intercepted, there's still the third and final missile. The goal is to nuke the army and just one is clearly enough, so to be safe, they sent three.

[@redswingline262]

As I understand it, the nukes won't work if shot directly at the shielded encampment. They had to detonate outside of the barrier to break it. But yeah, the 2nd barrage then hits the emperor's camp directly and it's all over. No fremen die. But then, didn't the whole thing depend on getting the emperor to Arrakis - like, that was the narrow path. His fate was sealed once he landed. The trick was getting him to do just that.

They're meant to be some highly organized army that takes over entire planets, and yet they keep all their troops sitting out in the middle of an open area surrounded by mountains? To make matters worse, they don't set up any sort of outposts on those mountains or even send out scouts? Not even a few air patrols to make sure there isn't an entire army hiding behind them? That has to be the dumbest army I've ever seen in a movie. Also, staring into a nuclear explosion. Great, you've just blinded your own army trying to nuke the easiest target to hit ever, and then they missed with the aforementioned nukes! Lastly, why did three nukes create one explosion? That's not how nuclear weapons work, even with conventional weapons you'd just create three explosions.

"Also, staring into a nuclear explosion. Great, you've just blinded your own army trying to nuke the easiest target to hit ever, and then they missed with the aforementioned nukes!" The foreshadowing is immense. But no they cannot use their Warheads on living targets, the Great Convention prohibits this. And if he nukes the Emperor where would he ascension and hostage bargaining chip go, exactly? He obliterated the shield wall mountains of the basin to let the sandstorm in, which provided the Fremen cover to move in with their sandworms undetected.

And those were clearly ballistic missiles and yet flew like cruise missiles. Why not bait the enemies in 5000km away from the launch site and then have the reentry vehicles impact at mach 20. That would have looked so much cooler

[@jockeb2651]

They had like 72 of them? "enough to blow up the whole fucking planet" But fires three of them with "only" that impact

[@tzarcaz_4385]

The goal was to destroy the Mountain so the fremen worms can come head first in. The goal wasn’t to obliterate their army, nor annihilate the emperor, though Paul could have done that..

This is like 20,000 years into the future. I'm sure the Atreides atomics and all atomics must have futuristic capabilities, allowing them to adjust the yield for strategic deployment. Otherwise, what would be the point of the Houses fearing planetary destruction due to the atomics of other houses?

@@Aeonikos Smart nukes, I can totally buy it

[@jockeb2651]

@@Aeonikos Then adjust one of them for blowing up the mountain?

[@nicholasbrown668]

in lore it's explained that various types of atomics can be adjusted to have a yield the user wants, so if Paul wanted a massive planet cracking nuke he could have set it, but didn't want to

Nuclear strikes and the entire planet (or moon) atmosphere didn't lit like a balloon of gas?, so this means conventional warfare is viable here?, are we gonna see the real battle for dune like in the RTS games??

Dune: Part Two (2024) - as the title of this upload clearly indicates

[@bambistrackstoo6118]

Best way to " Adapt" Dune for the screen is just turning it into an "action Flick" what a shame....

[@abhisheknaithani3647]
