The final Dune trailer has dropped.
Looks like shit. Too many White characters clearly.

The Sardukar war prayer being "Bing, bong, Bing Bing bing" was the funniest fucking shit ever.
That will come anyways and to a degree already has with the sb fiasco. More numbers can't hurt when fighting them off(more donations,word of mouth,etc).Also might draw some unwanted attention depending on how woke the audience of the new movie is...
Kinda sounded like Tuvan throat singing to me. I thought that scene was pretty awesome, actually. Amazing sets and costume work throughout the whole damn movie.
Logically, what they did doesn't make sense, and at some level this is diversity-casting. But this is done because the director is French and therefore has some knowledge of Algeria, which would be relevant for Dune.The Fremen are shown very weirdly. They're supposed to have been a group of ethnically homogeneous fringe Muslims that got kicked from planet to planet for centuries before finding Dune, but about half of them are black and half of them are Arab. Even if that was how they were then they walked off the ships, it still wouldn't make any sense, as the inter-breeding would homogenize the gene pool.
Emperor toady #1, the guy who announces the handover, appears to be from a Nilotic ethnic group, IE NOT Bantuoid. The other direct servant of the Emperor, Kynes, could also be a Nilote. I like to think in Villenvue's universe, the Emperor has a Nilotic ethnic group or planet where he gets his educated servants. Could also be done for visual distinctiveness at court: IRL nobles did this sort of thing.That's not the only political BS going on. There's also the intro with the colonialism complaint and how Liet is a black woman.
I appreciate some of this, and especially how he escaped the poison, but I generally don't like this Baron.Best Baron Harkonen ever. The one from the 80's was too pustule'y, the one from the 00's was too overly dramatic. I like this one. I could totally see this guy actually being a genius under a Bene Gesserite curse.
ATP: I explained why. It's a reference to IRL Tuaregs.Black Fremen - why not? but,why not all? making them 2 type of different races made no sense,like somebody here said earlier.

I've listened to the Sardukar throat-singer clip at least 40 times. Villenvue nailed that scene.So I've seen some clips of the new movie, and it seems to have the most badass portrayal of the Imperial Sardaukar out of all the adaptions. I've been made to understand in the battle scenes they are vaguely unstoppable, which is very fitting for these guys.
