SHIP! Have you heard there’s going to be a DUNE REMAKE?????? what are your thoughts? Will the McElroy Brother truly Be In Dune?
You make some great points, now tell me who the FUCK these guys are:
I suspect the guy on the right with the horrible striped hose is Fenring but. Who is the orange clown??? Is it Trump??? Was Donald Trump going to be in Jodorowsky’s Dune as a scary clown???
Anyway I will enjoy making Dune shitposts while I can because the day I can’t make a fear is la petite mort without being forced into debates like “is Paul the white savior archetype or can this discussion even be had without taking into consideration the deconstruction of the narrative in later books that neither of us have even read” is the day I pack my bags and leave forever.
That, or the day I see Paul Atreides Oncelerified as the new Tumblr twink. I don’t know what fate I fear more.
I understand your pain, but consider my pain, of someone who has never read Dune but has very strong Opinions about the aesthetics: the outfits coming out are not, as far as I can tell, inspired at all by Moebius’ kickass Dune designs. They’re… fine… outfits… but they could have gone FULL HAM. Could have gone 2020 PSYCHEDELIC. Could have made a smorgasmoboard of strange designs.
But no we get dull monochrome outfits.
Oh I love the Moebius designs for two reasons: 1.) I am a big fan of ridiculous space fashion and 2.) I have no FUCKING idea who any of these people are supposed to be. I think he made up completely new characters.
Like. Who the FUCk are these guys?:
The first guy looks like a fan redesign of NIghtwing they used to publish in 1970′s Batman comics. The second guy is just Art Garfunkel after demanding I meet him for lasguns at 40 paces at high noon, while wearing head to toe denim. The third guy is David Bowie’s 1997 Earthling album cover come to life to get heat stroke and throw up on me at a Pride parade.
I especially love the ensemble designs because I can confidently identify THREE characters and that’s IT:
I only know the man with tarantulas for eyeballs is supposed to be Baron Harkonnen because he’s the only fat one. I suppose the insectoid candalabras behind him is the emperor only because I think that’s meant to be a crown. And the guy dressed like the ghost of Tom Bombadil inexpertly cosplaying a park ranger is Leit Kynes because he looks like he’s dressed for fieldwork. But the orange clown who is yelling at me? The multiple DND paladins? Argus Filch in a cape? Tits Out Anime Lucius Malfoy? Legolas and Gimli? I don’t know who those people are supposed to be AT ALL. It’s great.
Anyway I agree we need to stop setting movies in space if we’re not going to go HAM on the wardrobes.
Wait, I can figure out more from clues in the image! I think the guy to the immediate right of the Baron is the Beast Rabban, because he looks like a toned-down version of the Baron a bit. The guys on the left milling around the shirtless guy have hawk images on their shirts, so I think they’re Gurney, Thufir and Duncan from left to right. That means that peg-leg Hulk Hogan is the Duke Leto. Jessica is wearing the green smock with the salad fork on it, so the person behind her carrying the salad fork is the Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam. I think the guys on the right in the full black armor with helmets are Sardaukar, and the guy on the right with the sword and knife is Feyd Rautha. I think that means the smaller guy to his left with the red cape is Hasimir Fenring. The shirtless guy must be Paul by process of elimination. The last two guys I have no clue.
You make some great points, now tell me who the FUCK these guys are:
I suspect the guy on the right with the horrible breeches is Fenring but. Who is the orange clown??? Is it Trump??? Was Donald Trump going to be in Jodorowsky’s Dune as a scary clown???
No idea. The guy on the right could also be Piter. They could be alternate designs of already-guessed characters. I imagine nothing was set in stone at this point. They could even be background courtiers.
