​@@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.

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.

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.

Frank Herbert clearly was inspired by the Lensmen Series (written by E.E. Smith). In that series, promising bloodlines on several planets are nurtured over thousands of years to create the ultimate speciman of each species with unprecedented powers, with the human instance ultimately proving the most successful. The 1st book of the series ("Triplanetary") was especially entertaining because it detailed the roles played by multiple generations of the 2 primary bloodlines on Earth during different eras in human history (the Roman Empire, etc.).

[@atenrok]

An absence of any kind of air surveillance or a low orbit satellite is really puzzling in this universe...

[@princeytron]

It’s actually internally explained that this is Arrakis specifically that does not have proper satellite coverage due to complex political machinations. This is why the plot to throw Paul and Jessica away worked as without proper satellites it’s impossible to properly map the desert areas. Basically the Fremen pay large amounts of Spice directly to the Spacing Guild to keep the orbit of the planet free of satellites. Since the Spacing Guild is a powerful faction and the only ones capable of putting up the satellites, they would have to be the ones to change their minds, which they wont as they get generous Spice access for simply not doing anything.

[@atenrok]

@princeytron that's all great and wonderful, and I totally respect these explanations. However, earlier we saw surveillance drones watching around the harvesters for worms. Saturating the skies with those would not require any satellites. How come the planet leade's palace doesn't have any air support, especially during the emperor's visit...

[@madoric13]

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.

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.

[@princeytron]

It’s because using Atomics on humans directly is a direct violation of the Great Convention, the unified legal code of the Landsraad. Using them on idle terrain is technically allowed. He seeks to become Emperor after this, the Landsraad would never accept an Emperor who directly broke the Great Convention. Also, to gain the throne he has to challenge the Emperor directly, hence the challenge/duel scene we see. So it’s about long term planning. It’s no use capturing the planet through nuclear fire only to have the entire Landsraad descend on you for breaking the Convention.

[@surjeetsingh7213]

[@4KArchives]

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

[@Itchyknee88]

I love this movie…but I feel like it should have been split into two, it didn’t feel rushed, but I feel like we could of spent more time fleshing some of the plot out more.

[@fieckfieckfieck]

So you are suggesting they make Part 2, two parts?

[@josephastier7421]

I guess "duck and cover" wasn't a thing on Arrakis.

[@Tachyon111]

Look at what only 3 atomics did. Paul had 90!!!!!!

[@hosenOne1]

those are pretty low yield warheads tho... took 3 to destroy the side of a mountain and there was no EMP.

[@fieckfieckfieck]

(Twenty-thousand years in the future by the way)

[@JayDee-x2b]

So they all just stared at a nuclear bomb??

[@CapitanShinigamiAndres13]

Long live to the warriors

[@luisgarcia22]

The weapons of terror.

[@doerianed1786]

everything was insane after they fired the nukes!

[@abhisheknaithani3647]

That not a nuke its normal bomb😂

[@YoutubeBobr]

Лучшая экранизация кто бы что не говорил

[@TheSoul1988]

Is Im the only one who didnt get this in the movie that is "nuclear" rockets. If I should undertand concept that on dune you can use nuclear weapon and then attack? Do I need to understand that emperor dont have nuclear rockets?

[@spanke2999]

in the lore, the book, using nukes on people is a big nono. everybody would freak out and the whole universe would come down on you. Using nukes to 'cut stone' on the other hand is a gray area. also the ship of the emperor was shielded, so nukes wouldn't do actually harm to himself.

[@MrGyulaBacsi]

If they wanted to defeat the emperor and the Harkonnens fast and easy why didn't they aim the nukes right at the sphere?

[@fieckfieckfieck]

Because using atomic weapons on human targets directly is a war crime and Paul wanted them alive

[@princeytron]

Because it breaks the Great Convention. It’s basically the unified legal code, which dictates things like War Crimes. Using atomics on humans is a direct violation against this, but using them on terrain or other animals is *technically* allowed. If he had done such a thing, the Landsraad would heavily come down on him for it, not conducive as he seeks to challenge for the Throne which requires the Landsraad’s cooperation for. Also, he has to confront the Emperor and take his seat of power through a challenge of conquest. Can’t do that if he just poofs into nothing from atomic fire, all that would do is have the Throne pass to his next heir, again, against Paul’s actual goals. The destruction of the mountains is strategic to allow the giant sandstorm inside the basin to obstruct enemy visibility, a strategically sound move.

[@MrGyulaBacsi]

I was only kidding guys... T'was sg. similar to as when Conan O'Brien tweeted like... "if Voldemort was such a great wizard why couldn't he cast a new nose to himself?"....

[@ginsan8198]

I doubt that was nuclear, but it still looks good.

[@camcam9691]

I wonder if air and satelite reconnaissance is a thing in this universe, such big military force should know that another army is preparing in such close vicinity 🧐 like, nuclear strike capable force is close and ready to attack should be a thing to know about in advance 😇

[@ComradeOgilvy1984]

The book makes this more clear: (1) there is a dangerous gathering storm so aerial patrols are grounded and satellites would be of little help; (2) there are no such satellites (the Fremen have bribed the Guild to not deploy any)

[@SMNBLMRDM]

Pay attention to the first movie they literally explain why there are no satellites several times.

[@camcam9691]

@SMNBLMRDM 👍

[@bambistrackstoo6118]

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

[@Lazerbadger2]

That is like the smallest nuclear blast ever.

[@danielnurminen3796]

You know tactical nukes exist.

[@Lazerbadger2]

@ that’s not even close

[@Aeonikos]

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?

[@Lazerbadger2]

@ oh actually a good point.

[@christophertran2139]

Why didn’t they just nuke the emperor. Why did they miss

[@ArtyKibbles2190]

They needed him alive

[@manakin5]

The Great Convention forbids the use of atomics against people. This topic is discussed in the book in detail.

[@DARTHNECRION]

The Great Houses would’ve ganged-up on the Atriedes and eaten them alive, Fremen or not.
