    I’ve seen both already so thanks. All Marvel movies are basically the same and the new Dune is just a slower version of the old one. I saw some of it and it’s literally the same movie scene for scene but each scene has some unnecessary filler and is twice as long.

    at this point there is no fight… Disney ruined Marvel (as they ruin every IP they buy), Dune is great… there is no contest here

    Haven’t watched an entire marvel movie since endgame.

    I don’t particularly hate or dislike them but I don’t care to watch them.

        Indeed, and some of them (according to others) have been quite good.

        I have seen bits and pieces of like 4 or 5 of them but I honestly couldn’t say which ones except black panther. They weren’t bad, they just couldn’t hold my interest and I stopped watching.

    Sweet.

    Both will, of course, need to compete with the one of the Captain Americas, a couple of Marx Brothers movies, and a that one backwards one (Tenant) that I’m excited for, but haven’t found time to see, yet.

    I didn’t make the call to enshitify streaming services, or run 37 minutes of ads before every feature film, but it definitely changed how I enjoy movies.

    Anyway. I bet I will get around to seeing Dune and Doom. I might even watch them during a holiday.

      Dune is not a white savior story though, and neither is Dune Messiah (which Frank Herbert wrote in part to make that message as clear as possible). While Paul is trying to be a savior figure, he’s using everyone for his own ends the entire time. The top comment on this wonderful video says it best:

      Dune’s entire historical narrative has always been, “Beware of the Tyrant wrapped in Savior clothing.”

      Dune isn’t exactly a messiah movie, although it’s literally based on the book Dune Messiah.

      Oh it’s no secret, studios saw the cultural phenomenon of barbenheimer and now try to manufacture it for profit. They did the same with wicked last year with some other flop of a movie. They’re actively trying to make it happen again, trying to seem young and hip.

    The choice will be more supercape shit or more vainglorious Dune shit.

    Hard pass on both.

      No! Well, yeah, sure… but secretly, on the surface one must maintain the petty clickbait controversy facade, like Blur vs Oasis back in the 90s. Or more recently, In ‘n’ Out vs Five Guys.

      They’re my favourite movies since LOTR and absolute fucking masterpieces of cinema imo.

      They’re another example of “this shit is unfilmable” being turned into amazing films.

      I like the casting of Anya Taylor Joy to play Paul’s sister too because she’s a weird looking fucking alien person and is perfect for the role of psycho fetal hallucinogenic syndrome person.
