So we are going to run Dune into the ground too are we? Is nothing sacred?

Weren't there always supposed to be 3 movies?

Edit: Never mind this isn't a movie but a series

I agree with you, but there are 6 novels just in the original Frank Herbert books. Then you have Kevin Anderson and Brian Herbert 11 plus (i lose count but theyre across the room on the shelf, Im just super lazy today) books....Anderson cant use one word when a hundred more will get the point across.

It's already beaten into the ground. For a few years now, I'll only read up to God Emperor and then the last 50 pages of Sandworms Of Dune.

I'm rambling now, sorry. I agree with you.

There are only six books. There's quite a lot of fan-fiction. /S

KJA and BH having been grinding FH's legacy to dust for years now.

I gave KJA a chance with his seven volume Saga of Seven Suns which is worse than his Dune works.

Frank Herbert wrote about Dune. Kevin Anderson and his son did some shit trying to make money. I don't blame them, especially his son.

Doesn't seem like they have the same vision or grasp of distance. Bless their hearts, they can't help it. Anderson, mostly, fuck him He wouldn't know sacred if it smacked him between the eyes. He can't find a trail or hunt a purple elephant.
