  1. The worst thing from this movie is to see all the pieces than have been plucked out and pillaged by other franchises along the years. And how Villeneuve had to walk around them to avoid falling into overused tropes of the copycats . A few examples: Arrakis is Tatoinne. The "chosen one" is Anakin/Neo. "fear is the little death" = after earth "danger is real, fear is a choice", Sardaukars = Stormtroopers, clone armies. Chani = Neitiry/Trinity woman of the "other world". Paul "goes native" = Avatar, Dances with wolves. the Sarlack = the worm. Luke sees the two suns on the horizon, Paul sees the sun on the horizon. Fremen = Freefolk GOT/Avatar/dances with wolves. Emperor = emperor. Does Paul have free will? = does Neo have free will?..... The original DUNE is a carcass that has been recycled so many times by others that it became a trope itself.
