minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•4 months agoI really liked all the Lynch harkonnens - they were just sleazy and degraded by power: not terrifying supervillians, but the Trump family. Like, they were still a major problem, but because privilege, not any kind of badassery. I think that’s an aspect that was missed in the Villeneuve dune, along with making Paul too pretty and heroic. 1984 Paul was a sour unlikelable dick, and that was kind of the point for me.
