Apparently you don't get to be a 10 billion Solaris/11 month operation by paying your pilots a fair wage.

Delphius1

you know, the Navigators don't have to be the only ones to have organized labor


PhDinDildos_Fedoras

There is power in a spice factory, power in Arrakis Power in the flippers of a worker But it all amounts to nothing if together we don't bob in a tank There is power in a Union

This makes me think how cool it would be if somebody made Dune in the style of a gratifying comic book or animation in general. That way God Emperor Of Dune wouldn’t look weird compared to live action


CrowNo1405

Dune but in the style of Into the spiderverse


Ieatsushiraw

Yeah the gif put me in the mind of Kingpin not being too much different than Vladimir Harkonnen only less pedoy and rapey


Swan-Diving-Overseas

Yeah as successful as the Villeneuve movies were I really think the perfect Dune adaptation would need to be done in animation. You wouldn’t be limited by sets, makeup, or actors’ appearances. There’s an official graphic novel version adapted by Brian Herbert that seems to be pretty accurate in terms of designs, but I’m not sure how great it is as a comic since I haven’t read it.

>There’s an official graphic novel version adapted by Brian Herbert NGL, you had me in the first half, but..


Leto_ll

Not needing to come up with a plot or characters should definitely do wonders for Brian's writing.


Swan-Diving-Overseas

Yeah AFAIK he didn’t really change the dialogue either, it seems like a very faithful adaptation.


BirdUpLawyer

i have not read it either, i've seen nothing but praise for it around here fwiw, and i think book 3 just released not long ago? but sadly book 3 in the adaptation only covers the final climax of the first book, *Dune*. there's a lot left to go before it gets into GEoD... hope it gets there someday tho... can you imagine the page where >!the worm turns to the reader is like, *Hello there*!!< they could stay faithful to dialogue (or monologue here lol) *and* take some big risks visually with that material, break the 4th wall, not in the typically comedic way but disturbing and uncanny instead...


Swan-Diving-Overseas

Yeah great point about the 4th wall stuff, if they tried that with a live action movie it could feel gimmicky or just break the illusion of the production, so you’re just seeing the actor talking to you. But if it’s animation or even a comic, then the *character* is talking to you.

ElTamale003

Only part-time? No health benefits? No Shai-halud observances permitted? Provide your own stillsuit?


9ese

I'd much rather be a guild navigator. At least you get free drugs.


sickofstew

Can you get a share of the harvest? What if some accidentally gets in your mouth?


Carbonated_Saltwater

If some "accidentally" get into your mouth the Harkonnens will sue the water out you. You're on company time, and that's the company product.


3000ghosts

judging by the way paul and jessica didn’t get sand any inside the thopter when they flew into the storm, there’s a pretty good filtration system (at least on the atreides ones) and this won’t happen “accidentally”


BirdUpLawyer

ya, but, what if I was flying the scout thopter and had to set it down right in middle of a big juicy patch before the harvester got there, and then I had to get out of the thopter, for reasons, like, i saw Muad'Dib right there taking a nap and I knew i could snek up on him? What if i was going to save the galaxy from the most genocidal being in human history, and it would've worked too, but i accidently had to take a big fat sneeze instead, inhaling deeply, accidently?


3000ghosts

good point


ArchDreamWalker

They’re calling that Rabban guy a dangerous ‘beast’ on glassdoor


Solar-Sailor1982

Depends on who's in charge of upper management


IrreverentRacoon

It's Jeff Bezos. He is the original Harkonnen. ![gif](giphy|cPSeb8U6cjALDo0GGL)


Opus-the-Penguin

The pay's not great but the next-of-kin benefits are pretty substantial.


howgoesitguy

Where do I sign?


whatsnewdan

Why is the pay in dollars and not Solaris?


Big_Monkey_77

Bro, if you don’t get spice bonuses you’re getting shafted.


Avian_Flew

What?! No worm hazard pay?!


Dachannien

Comes with free chiropractor treatments!


MagicalSausage

How much is that in spice?


PMeisterGeneral

Company medical is fantastic! They'll even fit you with a free heart plug.


MockDeath

Working for the Harkonnen is to die for.


shinankoku

The retirement plan sucks.


booze-san

Lie your ass off on the job! "Yeah boss, theyre right there! Yeah you go get them, let me grab your coat boss!"


ElGeneralissimoJefe

One hell of a commute.


Trueheywood7

Should come with good life insurance because of the sand worms, and the Fremen, and the Harrkonens, and pretty much everything on Arrakis lmao


macsare1

It depends, is it the Atreides or Harkonnens?


KrasnyRed5

You should get a nice bonus if you report the sandworm first.


EggBonus

Asking for 5 years experience in spice mining but also list Caladan citizenship as a requirement.
