Dune: Prophecy | Inside Episode 1 | Max

[@nicolasdiez7688]

Great casting for Valya Harkonnen, both as young and as the Reverend Mother. The actresses are as talented as quite similar. Kinda reminds me of Rhaenyra Targaryen's casting as teenager and adult

[@queenxx1690]

She remind me of Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter idk why

[@moegreene7940]

Emily Watson is one of the best British actresses in this century

[@emiliojose8024]

Thank you Max for this incredible birthday present for me, this humble Dune fan is extremely happy with this beautiful production ❤️

One of the best new shows to end 2024

[@1slummzzs]

Political intrigue, conniving, drama. I love it all

[@tiborsramek]

very good show, has the Dune meditative vibe but it's entertaining, and the music and visuals are superb

[@dumitrescusorana1907]

Emily Watson supremacy ❤️‍🔥 so happy for her, I’ve been following her career for a while and to see her in such a huge production makes me proud and emotional 🎉

[@ViktorReznov-j4m]

Awesome first episode, and I am really happy that more dune material exists now. Bravo HBO

[@redcomet0079]

Ngl, I was super lost watching this. I think trying to connect this to 10,000 years in the future puts a hamper on the possibilities the writers could do with the story

[@olivergarrick1175]

Im intrigued it feel like it hard to pack vast mythology in the pilot episode but, they did a good job.

[@DJSkandalous]

Feels more like a Foundation spinoff lol, not that its a bad thing. It just seems like the same universe lol

[@ashleyelisabeth4]

It makes sense because Foundation inspired the original Dune trilogy

[@aegnor2102]

excellent start, can't wait to see where it goes !

[@phyllislewis4393]

Really enjoyed this.❤

[@har5814]

Yes another Dune entry❤

Desmond’s pyrokinesis smellsvof Ixian fuckery. I just know it.

[@KainErrow]

I hope I can look forward to seeing more of Jessica Bardem, young Valya. I think the first time I saw her was in Penny Dreadful, in a much different part. There’s something depressing in having a “recurring character / actress” that pops up for a bare 8 minutes of one episode.

[@TCO_404]

There are more flashbacks down the line!

[@blackjac5000]

There was a weeks-to-come trailer where they show scenes of her back on Lankiveil.

[@JamealTaylor]

I love that their’s space coke in the Dune universe. Really enjoyed the first episode!

[@joebond545]

I like how the blood flows down the stairs and then the next shot is of the green mass going from the women training down to the pool. Kinda showing that wherever these women are blood will pollute

[@connection7405]

I realy liked the first episode! I'm looking forward to the next one!

[@xxMrVashxx]

My boy Desmond has to be a Ghola sent by the Ixians 😏

[@javierdelacruz9712]

Interesting that the actress playing Kasha says she’s fixated on Desmond’s eyes. Just like Hayt’s eyes that captivated Paul and Alia so much.

[@THETALKseries]

SPOILERS: I kind of hope they don't introduce the concept of gholas in this show. That would ruin the element of surprise of Duncan Idaho returning in the next Denis Villeneuve film. Also, Desmond Hart looks a lot like Duncan too, lol.

[@JausTine]

Why would he be a ghola? They weren't even a thing for 10,000 years after these events, and created by the super secret Bene Tleilax, not the Ixians. They didn't even get good at it for more like 13,000 years after

[@TCO_404]

​​@@JausTinepeople suspect facedancer or ghola because he survived what looks to be a death by sandworm. Either that or some machine hybrid.

[@jonathanselmon6820]

Loved it! Can’t wait for more!

[@JonasMighty]

Thank God we got more Dune 😍

[@nicolasdiez7688]

That first Voice that Valya used damm, goosebumps

[@alinggaalts27]

I loveee thiss, it has soo much potential, but im nitpicking here that the editing doesnt really hit on the dream scenes or when valya use the voice, but overall great film and everything, hoping for much

[@thefirstofthelastones8952]

It's the first episode and this s**ts more enjoyable than The Acolyte

It hasn't dropped on my app yet. Had no issues with Penguin.

[@koshnaranek7976]

A perfect follow up to House of the Dragon Season 2.

[@KevinMLongden]

I've read some comments, turning off after 5mins, it's like a CW show etc... If you had stayed and watched it all, it turns into a fairly good opening episode, be it a little different from the films sure, but I'm in for the series duration now, a big thumbs up from me 😁👍

[@ermitac8506]

can somebody tell me when the series air in asia? i open hbo this morning and the first episode has not dropped yet?

[@JeffreyBernabe]

[@docstandupphilosopher3529]

10,000 years before Paul Atreides, yet same culture, same tech, same clothing, same conflicts.... either bad writing or just lazy production.

[@blackjac5000]

Tell us you never read any of the books, including the prequel one this show is loosely based on, without saying so. After they whomped the robots they put the brakes on scientific development including the requisite computer technology necessary to build a nav computer capable of calculating a safe interstellar jump.

[@HeWasRight1488]

​@blackjac5000 The writers have already admitted to completely making up most of the story and only loosely adapting elements (like taking names and some plot points) from some of the worst books in the Dune canon.

[@HeWasRight1488]

It's both.. Bad writing and bad production.

[@tykjenffs]

I'm astounded over how boring they managed to make this show.

Dune 1965 by Frank Herbert There are 6 Frank Herbert's B00ks about Dune

[@HeWasRight1488]

And most of the events of this show don't happen in any of them.

[@TCO_404]

Yes, there are also 25 plus years worth of books by Brian Hebert and KJA.

[@JausTine]

​@@TCO_404those weren't very good, but the show kinda just makes things up

[@TCO_404]

​@@JausTinea lot of it does come from those books though. Aside from Desmond that is.

[@blackjac5000]

This is based on the prequel novel Sisterhood Of Dune by Frank's son Brian and Kevin J. Anderson.

[@gloeiende1]

It pretend to be a serious show but it feels like teletubbies. Embarrassing to watch...

[@BoringThings2069]

If their cheap British actors cannot perform half believable fight choreography, they should use some stuntwomen, it was a pathetic scene, dragged the whole pilot from 8 to 4.

[@HeWasRight1488]

​@aegnor2102 It's worse. Because the Acolyte was concocted up by modern day Kool aid hairs. This show had plenty of canon to work with and decided to ignore it and deliver more modern day influenced slop.

[@TCO_404]

@@HeWasRight1488 It's quite accurate to the Brian Herbert books. Some minor changes obviously, but I'd be shocked if you could point them out.

[@HeWasRight1488]

@TCO_404 No. It isn't. Bene Gesserit were never a bunch of kung fu girl boss warriors. Also, Brian Herbert isn't Christopher Tolkien. His additions to the canon are pretty garbage.

[@TCO_404]

​​@@HeWasRight1488the BG always had the weirding way and prana-bindu, which among many other things gave them those hand-to-hand combat skills. In fact, those BG skills became a huge part of the Fremen's fighting style as well under Paul's leadership.

[@distilledfreedom1840]

This wasn't sci fi. It was a cross between watching The View, and a soap opera.

[@texas9076]

Garbage. The first mother superior wasn't black in the books. Royal princesses aren't thots.

[@JausTine]

Who cares? Everyone loves thots or black badasses or experienced women. They all are interesting even if you you're a 12 year old boy, even if you don't know it yet

[@redcomet0079]

​@JausTine I don't like any of those things. I didn't when I was 12, and I don't think I ever will.

I got brown girl bossed in the opening sequence and saw the writing on the wall. No thanks.

[@Asmodaeus89]

They didn't need to add martial arts to them. Woke influence once again with strong independent women who can fight. Other than that. Looks promising.

These skills go back all the way to the original Frank Herbert books.

[@HeWasRight1488]

@TCO_404 No, they don't.

[@margoshuteran1781]

I'm sorry, are we just supposed to forget about the weirding way, or the many many times Paul refers to his mother's ability to incapacitate people as coming from her time at the bene gesserit school?

He'll be fine. He personally approved of the 1984 Lynch movie.

They refer to machine wars plural because the show primarily deals with the Battle of Corrin, which was AFTER the Jihad.

Really?? Woke?, you guys get offended by everything. Everything is woke for you. I swear that if a lot of sci-fi popular movies from the 80s and 90s were released nowadays, you will consider them as woke.

[@HeWasRight1488]

​@josuecordero478 Not everything. Just woke things, like the second season of the Acolyte here. We aren't offended, either. This is too obvious to be offensive. We're just bored with it all.

[@HeWasRight1488]

​@josuecordero478 You do also know that we can watch those movies from 80s and 90s and see that by today's standards, they are considered to "contain outdated stereotypes and culturally insensitive representation".

[@gruszkos]

@@josuecordero478yup, it is woke. The producers admit themselves that it’s “sort of” based on the books and they “in some ways” adhere to the cannon. Meaning - they use the concepts like Bene Gesserit but completely strip it of the essence of what it is in the books. Girl bosses yet again, in the universe where there was strong patriarchal approach to ruling. This is why Bene Gesserit evolved the way they did - to influence from behind the curtains and subtly push men into making the decisions that they needed to be made. You can clearly see that this is out of the window after just one episode. Another one for the “modern audience”. If you can’t respect source material - do something original, instead of butchering established IP

[@aegnor2102]

this is far ffrom woke.

[@alphagerudo]

You had a chance to put Acolyte a show of witches aimed at children, to shame but you failed. Impressive 👍
