Desert Power | This is Only the Beginning | Final Scene | DUNE 2021

[@squamish4244]

This scene takes place more than halfway through the book, and the rest of the book is heavy with big events. The obvious place to split the book was also the obvious place to split the movie, thankfully.

[@TheKondinho]

yup major major shit goes down after this. perfect place to end it.

[@gordonfreeman-g5w]

I can't fathom how they're going to fit everything in unless the movie is 3.5 hrs which I'm really hoping it is. Part 1 was far too short in my opinion and missing some scenes that would've added to the story... still incredible adaption though. October couldn't come any sooner.

I'm still new in Dune world, just tell me about one thing, how good their air and sea capabilities?

[@PuppetierMaster]

@@asllen3310 in the beginning of Dune the planet was not that well suited for air combat as sand storms and constant 100 km winds grounded any attempt to properly patrol the skies. So the worst case scenario of a gruelling ground war slogged both sides but the Fremen were already well trained and prepared to fight the long war much more than a small incursion by most major factions could afford. So any of the major factions that tried to maintain a presence on Arrakis either made peace with the Fremen or fought to an almost standstill.

I think that's not a mother's worried look, it's the Bene Gesserit's worried look. The Fremen see Paul as a potential messianic figure (all that talk of Lisan Al-Gaib) and she is aware and worried that him embracing that culture can have cataclysmic outcomes for everyone involved. Bringing charismatic leaders together with hordes of religious zealots rarely ends up well.

[@martinp1054]

I still think air power would beat desert power, what more in dune you have space power...... park an orbital laser in geostationary orbit and when a worm shows up just shoot it in the mouth..... it will not probably kill the big ones, but with luck it will teach it not to aproach those particular vibrations. Also..... if the only reason to not use laser rifles are shields..... and fremen dont carry shields..... get laser shotguns.....you dont even need to destroy the sietches, you could just glass large parts of the dessert surface making it intraversable and then deal with those inside the ring..... you dont need the whole planet to mine spice

[@TheErockaustin]

Space is controlled by the Spacing Guild, and the Fremen bribed the Guild with pure spice to keep their secrets and make sure no satellites or ships were over their territories. And warships only get there if the Guild chooses to bring them there.

They only did that walk to prevent worms from coming after them. And now you learn that the fremen control the worms so obviously the worms won't come after them. The fremen don't tell other pple because it's more like a secret. So they act like they don't control the worms.

[@jer1515]
