Hey guys, what’s happening? Niyat here with film comics explained, and today we’re diving into both Parts One and Two of Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune.
While I have an expansive playlist covering all the major concepts, players, factions and organisations in the franchise, from The Fremen, The Sandworms, The Spacing Guild, Bene Gesserit, Mentats, The Harkonnens, The Atreides, The Sardaukur, The god Emperor, Emperor Shaddam Corrino and more (links in the description) my aim with this video is to explain what happens in both films in relation to the lore from the books.

You're freman? So you married into it. Friendo.
As it is written
Hope they add part 1 to theaters bc ppl are starting to realize how special it is
space jihad intensifies
Let's go!!!
The scene where the fremen charge on top of sandwirms made me cry in the theatres
There is a difference between adapting a story and bastardizing the source. Unfortunatly , DUNE pt.2 is a beautiful stunning example of the latter.
Soooooo Dune is basically Star Wars and Game of Thrones combined!
Keynes: now a race and gender-swapped girl-boss🤦♂ Just read the book.
What I'm sad the most that's a lot fan who love this movies don't realize it was insipire by Islam and arabic and north africa culture. Even most term use derive from Islam & arabic language
Saw Dune part 2 last weekend. Worth it. Any changes made by Denis Villneuve make sense and don't detract from the novel.
You wouldn't have to EXPLAIN anything if they took their time and followed the book.
They are too busy using brief graphical snippets of a very abridged version of the story.
We have explain why Spice is so important. And why people will starve without it. Because it runs the Transport and Logistics of the Universe. Being used by Navigators, that you NEVER See in Both Movies.
Paul would never do what he did to Chani, and leave her hanging like that. He made it clear in front of the whole Landsrad and Emperor, that the Princess won't have love or touch, but the title only.
All them beefing this CGI quick flick through the book, and cussing the Original old movie, which showed a lot more go.
Not seeing a Navigator was criminal!!!!
I like it
Film Comics Explained with another absolute banger!!! Incredible video my friend!
Just watched the second part brilliant visuals and sound but the woke brigade stuffed the ending with chani
Can you do a video on what is written about Earth and the humans from Earth that first explored, colonized, and ultimately seeded extraterrestrial worlds and cultures?
So what has changed between how Fremen were fighting Harkonens before Paul came and after he came. It both looks like guerrilla warfare , why they were more successful with Paul than without him when the tactics itself haven't changed much ?
10191 AG(After Guild), as in after the formation of the spacing guild. Paul's bloodline is said to go as far back as ancient Rome and Greece. This sets the story some 16,000 to 16,400 years after the fall of the western Roman empire in 476 A.D. So It's closer to 20 millennia. I don't care what Brian Herbert says about it. His Dad wrote the base lore.
55:50 is an edited screenshot from mad max fury road lol
Paul: Will you please listen?! I'm not the messiah!
Stilgar: He is the messiah!
unilt next time
Thanks for mentioning the changes, people getting all bent out of shape about Liet being a black woman is such a small change compared to the story line.
While I enjoyed Part 1 & 2 of the films, I will admit that the ending choices of Part 2 was a bit odd for me given how it went in the books or how it is portrayed in other movie adaptations of the media. It left me with many thoughts after I left the theater the day I saw it that this video helps add more thoughts/context to and for.
This is an incredible breakdown, can't imagine the effort required to make this video. Thank you
Chani is the only character I hated in these movies, what the fuck were the writers thing?
I could even overlook Emperor Christopher Walken acting like regular life Christopher Walken, but Chani is just utterly unlikable or faithful to the book
the poison of progressivism will destroy all great novels and works of art eventually
Very shit take mate, I feel that you enjoyed the books, and the movies didn't do justice for yourself
To be honest I think the changes detract from the theme. The idea that the Landsraad don’t legitimise Paul’s ascendancy to emperor means he’s completely justified in continuing the war as he has no choice, it’s that or he and everyone else gets killed and there’s imperial infighting over the throne. The idea that you’re meant to find charismatic leaders suspicious is really undermined by Paul being completely justified, continuously correct, and can literally see the future and knows exactly what he has to do. His alternative is to just die quietly and let the shitty tyranny everyone’s comfortable with continue to persist. If the moral is that Paul’s bad actually then based on the decisions made in adapting the film, they did a really bad job of it.
Similar with Chani being upset that she’s getting everything she ever asked for. It feels more like the character arc for Paul; she wanted Fremen to overthrow tyranny, what did she think that would actually lead to? Chani comes off as simultaneously hyper-capable in the moment but catastrophically short-sighted. Her plan was to just exist in the desert killing people until the powers that be decide that how the universe operates doesn’t matter anymore and they leave. Just seems like needless emotion baiting because Chani shouldn’t be this braindead unless it really is “I’m sad you’re politically marrying someone to become emperor of everything. I wanted to win without sacrificing anything
Good film overall and I really liked it, but the changes are a bit baffling unless it was solely “we need Chani to do SOMETHING” with the condensed timeline. Paul comes off a but Mary Sue-ish with how condensed it is. Although it gets away with it by taking the time to establish that he’s genetically engineered to be the chosen one, it’s still a bit of a groaner to have him succeed at everything better than anyone in such a small space of time. Unfortunate byproduct of the medium.
Hark-O-nnen 😭😭😭 why
Saw this last week in Imax and it was a fantastic movie now i'm 60 and read the first 3 books when i was 16 so i was there when they gave Dune to the wrong guy in David Lynch , while his movie looked good if you didn't know the story you will have a hard time with it , i never watched the tv show and from what i have seen on you tube i'm glad, so on to part 1 and 2 while there are some big changes from the books it's understandable and really don't effect the 2 movies and make sense in these movies now i have to see it again in my local cinema so no imax but they do have great sound GO SEE THIS SO WE GET DUNE MESSIAH !!
for over 20 milleniums .. this would be the proper start .. in year 1 A.G it is already more then 10.000 AC
Very much enjoy your videos. Haven't read the books in years and appreciate your videos. Exceptional.
Great long video on Dune parts 1 and 2
I thought it was 3 atomics and it wasn’t a shield but the mountain range that surrounds the city
why was feyd tested though?
and why wasnt thufir in part 2?
Each adaptation has it's weak and strange points. I like to use elements of all of them to make my head canon.
In my headcanon, Arrival is part of the Dune universe and the "aliens" were actually very, very, very early Guild Navigators.
Part 1 was very faithful to the book's first half with the only exception being that the World Building was lost. We are never told why Yueh's betrayal was out of nowhere or the significance of the Mentats. Part 2 deviates from the second half of the book but for the most part, it is done to showcase the dangers of a powerful and charismatic lead which was Frank Herbert's original plan for Paul Atredies which many didn't understand in the first book. This led to him writing the second book to show that Paul wasn't a hero but more an anti-hero.
i wouldn’t be surprised if they just make paul become the god emperor instead of involving leto i just wanna see someone turn into a worm god emperor
In total… The movies are like 6 hours …why tf does ot need an hour+ long explanation video
Fk that😊
Great video. I have read the 6 books multiple times, and your interpretation are spot on.
