The "cookie cutter" parts of dune are only that because everyone has copied dune since the books came out.
That's like saying Houdinis' tricks were cookie cutter traps.
Lord of the rings comes out
"Oh look, another movie about elves and dwarves."
Lol exactly
"I don't know what the big deal with Hamlet is. It's just one famous saying after another, strung together by a moldy old plot."
You say that, but I had a friend dislike the first movie "because you can't end a movie like that, it didn't solve anything".
She was then politely informed it was a very famous trilogy of books and that there are two other movies.
I fear the Greeks around two thousands years back already had the cookies which inspired Frank Herbert. ;-)
Ha, true true. Like music, how you put the notes together is what matters. Dune put them together in an inspiring way.
Just for clarification, so you enjoy Villeneuve's Dune movies?
I do. I haven't seen the second yet though. But I imagine I'll enjoy it more than the first just because I remember that section of the story less. Part One is tough since it's the part that everyone knows more and has been repeated more often in culture. Also, it just kinda... ends.
