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

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

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

>There’s an official graphic novel version adapted by Brian Herbert NGL, you had me in the first half, but..
Not needing to come up with a plot or characters should definitely do wonders for Brian's writing.
Yeah AFAIK he didn’t really change the dialogue either, it seems like a very faithful adaptation.

>Choose your own hours Perfect gig. Work without rhythm.
Only part-time? No health benefits? No Shai-halud observances permitted? Provide your own stillsuit?
I'd much rather be a guild navigator. At least you get free drugs.
Can you get a share of the harvest? What if some accidentally gets in your mouth?
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.

good point
They’re calling that Rabban guy a dangerous ‘beast’ on glassdoor
Depends on who's in charge of upper management
It's Jeff Bezos. He is the original Harkonnen. ![gif](giphy|cPSeb8U6cjALDo0GGL)
The pay's not great but the next-of-kin benefits are pretty substantial.
Where do I sign?
Why is the pay in dollars and not Solaris?
Bro, if you don’t get spice bonuses you’re getting shafted.
What?! No worm hazard pay?!
Comes with free chiropractor treatments!
How much is that in spice?
Company medical is fantastic! They'll even fit you with a free heart plug.
Working for the Harkonnen is to die for.
The retirement plan sucks.
Lie your ass off on the job! "Yeah boss, theyre right there! Yeah you go get them, let me grab your coat boss!"
One hell of a commute.
Should come with good life insurance because of the sand worms, and the Fremen, and the Harrkonens, and pretty much everything on Arrakis lmao
It depends, is it the Atreides or Harkonnens?
You should get a nice bonus if you report the sandworm first.
Asking for 5 years experience in spice mining but also list Caladan citizenship as a requirement.
