watched Dune part 1 and honestly HAD NO IDEA what was going on, especially with so many names of people, titles, and places thrown around without context. This video is a life saver before watching Dune part 2! Thanks for the recap, very easy to follow.

[@takoshihitsamaru4675]

We just came back from a double feature of Part 1 and 2. Honestly, there is ENTIRELY too much fiction in Dune part 1 for a recap to be enough before seeing part 2. Just the names of the factions is enough to memorise, then there's the different names given to Paul, the equipment and vehicles, the locations in Arrakis. It's a lot.

[@CharlieBurnsow]

This is why making a trilogy out of two books was the only reasonable option. Or at least splitting the first one in two.

[@81Point2]

I'm planning on seeing it twice to fully understand it the second time

[@alveolate]

that's how channels like these get to earn their keep! there's a TON of dune geek channels out there too, they're all having an epic boom.

Okay I felt badly that I didn’t see part one and I’m literally in a theater seat as I type this waiting to see part two, but from reading the other comments, it sounds like I wouldn’t have understood what was going on whether I saw the first movie or not lol

[@44ThaNatos44]

Just saw Part 2, it's as great as the first one. Less universe/characters building though, but good story and still an amazing photography. What a ride !

[@nitsuj6801]

Watching this movie blind with actually no idea what the movie is about was so confusing. I got the general plot buy there is so many weird names for places and people that made it so confusing

[@qotsashfifty4]

great recap. although Chani is not known to be the daughter of Stilgar. in the books, she’s the daughter of Liet-Kynes. In the movie, it’s never mentioned who her father is.

[@antiochus87]

Liet-Kynes is Stilgar's brother (yes Liet-Kynes is a man in the book), so Stilgar is Chani's uncle. I don't think they changed this in the movie, or at least stated it clearly.

[@henriquelor3]

I was really looking forward for that, great recap! I'm crazy about watching the part II

I dont remember Stilgar being stated as Chani's father from the movie. In the books he was Chani's uncle.

About to watch the movie in 5 minutes, haven't seen the first since I saw it in theaters. Thank you sir

[@SPADERZ216]

Bro, DUNE seems like such a vast star wars-estk type of world with so many names of species, alliances, powers, planets, functions, rebels etc... its hard to keep up... its like they just threw us into a world that has been happening for centuries and we're just from some outside universe witnessing it all.. I totally forgot the storyline of part 1, but i just saw part 2 and it had me hooked! so after the movie I went looking for a recap of the first time, thanks for making this video.

[@The_monkey_king505]

Thanks for this I was getting dragged to watch part 2 it was easy to understand

[@tswfootball]

This was definitely the best recap out there

[@NekoHibaCosplay]

4:31 I don't remember if they changed this detail in the movie to accomodate for the genderswap of the character (which I don't believe), but Chani is Liet-Kynes' daughter, Stilgar is her great uncle. Stilgar's sister was Chani's grandmother according to the novel "Prelude to Dune"

[@vssapaige]

so you can’t handle a movie gender swap for better entertainment/a more well rounded cast. but you will quote brian herbert books as canon lmao? i think that’s either really bad taste or just plain misogyny

[@NekoHibaCosplay]

@@vssapaige I beg your pardon but what are you talking about? I didn't criticised the gender swap in any way. you have just misunderstood the comment I would be offended to be called mysoginist, but since this was clearly a misunderstanding caused by incapacity to understand the meaning of a text, I'll let it pass and laugh at you 😂 Maybe I'm gonna phrasing my comment in a simpler way to accommodate your lack of text comprehension Context: the narrator mistakenly say that Stilgar is Chani's father instead of great uncle, as I remember from the lore. Me: I just want to politely point this error out mentioning their actual relationship, but honestly I didn't remember if they also changed Chani parents since they changed Liet Kyenes gender, but OBVIOUSLY I didn't think that was the case, I just couldn't remember if in the first movie they pointed out explicity who her mother/ father was, and this was the reason behind the "which I don't believe"

gotcha, so you just have bad taste then and not misogyny. got it!@@NekoHibaCosplay

I just heard Denis Villonouve and that was it for me lol

[@barryscheidler2385]

I have been re-watching Dune 1 in preparation for Dune 2. In watching the scene where Paul meets the Reverend Mother there is a brief cut of Paul crossing the distance between himself and the reverend mother (maybe dream like). Then it cuts back to scene and he has not moved from this mother's side. It definitely seems intentional as it was a brief insert. Do you think this was a vision of what was about to occur? Has anyone asked Denis Villeneuve about this?

[@CBWBS]

Saved me 3 hours

[@speedking1353]

I was clueless after watching Dune 1 as I was totally lost with who the characters were and the full plot and left angry with the abrupt end without any direction. Now watching this summary, I still scrolled back dozens of time to check who's who and the names 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️😂

[@adamzaborszky1769]

Im going to watch part to today because of a friend, but never watched part one. So as a great friend (and also who doesn't want to get lost during the film) I watched part one. But I've learned that there is a 1984 and a 2021 version, and guess what? I choose the 1984 one. I dont have time to watch another movie, but have time to watch 2-3 recaps to understand this adaptation.
