Dune - Thumper

Thumper

[@howarddewing6617]

Bless the maker and his water, the coming and going of him.

[@utoro5]

May his passage cleanse the world, may he keep the world for his people.

[@thealexkirschproject8036]

People can say what they want about this version of Liet Kynes (I approve), but she went out like a total Boss here.

[@Biggiiful]

I would have preferred they keep Liet a guy, but she wasn't bad.

[@Oi325]

Totally!

[@TheHeston83]

agreed much Duncan-Brewster was much better than Von Sydow as with the film which is only the first half her death isn't in vain though The Fremen via Paul Muad dib's Fedyakin beat the Padishah Emperor and his Sardaukar as well The Harkonnen yes we show a glimpse of the battle i will expect more will be expanded on in Part 2

[@DarkArtistKaiser]

Yeah I have to admit, she goes out alot better than in the book.

[@jamesmohab]

Small detail but I loved the way the pierced stilsuit sprays water like that. Also this looks like another smaller worm (the one that eats the crawler is a monster)

[@GrandHighGamer]

To some degree that's probably down to the age rating disallowing spurts of blood (also part of the reason the shields flash red - wouldn't make much in-universe sense for shields to notify that they're letting through something dangerous instead of just stopping that thing, but makes it much easier to tell someone's getting hurt). Kind of proof that limitations spurs creativity.

[@jamesmohab]

@@GrandHighGamer most likely yeah, and those limits encouraged them toward something really memorable here (youre right about the red/blue on the shields too, instantly followable visual language) finding ways to make pg-13 fantasyfiction violence compelling is a welcome sight in the current enviornment of no-risk Disney movies and r-rated edgy stuff where people explode like boodbags.

[@MerSherr]

I took it as a callback to the 84 version of Dune where I believe they tore the suit off of Kynes before sending him into the desert, where it spewed water everywhere.

[@TheNapster153]

Technically, it is. The one that attacked the crawler even had a name, Shai Hulud(The Old Man of the Desert). Another commentor mentions Paul mutters how he knew the worms footsteps in the crawler scene too.

[@Theology.101]

@@GrandHighGamer Actually, I feel like the Red works cause there’s clearly a bit of wiggle room to when it first flashes red to when it makes solid contact, and someone fast enough might be able to twist to activate it. The red gives you a warning

[@willkay9679]

A cool detail is that there is no blood when Kynes is stabbed. Instead she "bleeds" water, since water is more valuable than blood in the desert.

[@stevechance150]

I must admit, against all better judgement, I like this Liet Kynes.

[@ernesthill4017]

Kewl reference 👍

[@purplelord8531]

'better judgement?'

[@maboroshi2550]

Much better than death from a sandblow in the book. While different, Liet's death is portrayed as falling to an "abyss" - with the Maker or the aftermath of pre-spice mass accumulation. At least here her death was an active act and not a passive one. She manages to take 3 Sardaukar to the grave nonetheless. True, needed narration was crucial in the novel but it would have been time-consuming in the movie. She is now one with Shai-Hulud.

[@CuttingEdges]

While I absolutely love this scene, the hallucinations and memories of Liet’s father right before his death in the book is also great! I feel like both film and book for this particular scene have their pros and cons that equally balance out. Gives you a good reason to recommend reading the book, or watching the film after either.

[@Glopdemon]

@@CuttingEdges yeah, that scene is one of my favorites in the book but it just wouldn’t have worked as well cinematically, as much as it pains me to admit it

[@laxdefense2826]

Yeah this change is completely fine I do wish they somehow would have been able to work in the hallucinations Kynes' was having with his father but you cant fit everything into one movie.

[@Morfe02]

Brother the Death of Kynes IS cool in the book because the Harkonnens can't kill him with a knife so they use the dessert as a Death Sentence Plus the doctor is thinking of changing the enviroment and is kill by the enviroment, themes that Dune Talk and Talk like the planet and the creation of warriors

[@EmperorsVenetians]

I love that Kynes, as Fremen recognises even after being stabbed that she's landed on drum sand. You hear the dull thud as she stops rolling. At that point she knows there's no escape, she's already used her Thumper, Shai-Hulud is coming, even if she had the strength to lift herself to her feet she couldn't mask her vibrations on drum sand, so she embraces death.

[@bl1neoner370]

I serve only one master, his name is Shai Hulud!

[@the-experimental-lentil8547]

This and Duncan’s death are the best scenes in any movie ever… fuck this movie was so good 🤦🏽‍♂️ The fact she was going to fucking ride the worm makes it 100 times better

[@VulKus117]

I loved the moment when the thumper starts and you see the worm approach, I remember watching this in IMAX I got gossebumps and my dad and I just grinned at each other cos we both realised what the Thumper was for at the same time

[@SovietWomble]

The humans: "HIS NAME IS SHAI-HULUD!!! - AHHHHHH AHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" *bombastic crescendo* The worm: "Oh hey, snacks".

[@ExstasyCo]

how did you get here, also watched your vid since middle school, love your vids. Please make video on dune games.

[@Scarletpach]

*bombastic crescendo* The worm: Dude what I'm trying to sleep over here

[@kaitlynr9271]

My favorite scene in the entire film. Goosebumps every time.

[@enzoli23]

This was by far the most badass death in the entire movie.

[@DeadManSinging1]

Even though I knew she was going to die because I read the book, for some reason, it still shocked me when she didnt make it out

[@misterrkalebhimself]

Yep, this movie still fucks.

I love this movie, of course having read all the books and being a fan. However, I still hate that they did the gender / race swap that pretty much every remake movie is doing...

[@Ploopljkklnbvyujvk9yo]

Bet you didnt hate it when egyptian or jesus were played by white people. Historical figures and mythological gods played by the palest european possible. Its not like 4rabs still exist. They could have used even southern european who look closer to them but nope. I remember when wh1tewashing was common people used the excuse that its because they took the best actors. Well think of it this way for this. She is an amazing actress.

[@Ploopljkklnbvyujvk9yo]

Wh1te people are 1.1 billions. Bl4ck 1.2 billions, 4sian are about 4.75 billions. How can they make a futurist movie but only have 1 race without explanation. Plus this movie is made in america, a melting pot. In the past, it was understandable that they didnt have any non wh1te in american media. But now, no excuses. Dune did lack asians representation too.

[@alucinado1021]

@@Ploopljkklnbvyujvk9yo No no and no, we need to stop this nonsense of swapping male characters for black women. It s getting annoying. We can even see the feminist ideology in Chani in Dune part 2, which is also kinda annoying. As for whitewashing, that has been criticized quite extensively for years. Casting black women in male roles does not make it better

[@HawkPoet]

​@@alucinado1021Doctor Kynes being dark skinned fits into the desert environment, and just because someone has dark skin doesn't mean they are african american. Also, the whole series is supposed to have a feminist message, what with a secret all-female society controlling the world's affairs. Bear in mind that the book was written in the 1960s, before this "woke" movement.

[@datwee7576]

Damn someone is getting whiny. She does a perfect job playing the role, better than a lot of other people in this movie who played larger roles like Leto. Cry more. Plus the race swap almost feels nescecary. There’s a reason all the Fremen are brown or black, since those are the people they are based on
