the gladiator scene with the lesser Harkonnen who looks like an extra from Fury Road - oh you tried to KILL ME by... not completely drugging one of the guys who's been in a dungeon for months. Seems more like changing the video game difficulty from rookie to easy IMO than a real test

Lesser Harkonnen seemed pretty serious about it and that was his rite of passage to take over from Drax

It was political theatre tho, like yeah he was supposed to make a big show if it but it wasn’t a CONTEST it was a SHOW, like Barron Trump “running” in 2032.

Hard agree that Ferguson got the short end of the stick this time around. She deserves better than to look arresting & spew portents.

Zendaya and Timothee - bad actors, zero chemistry for their great love that ends in betrayal
The ending was hilarious.
"Sorry, love of my life, gotta marry this white girl for politics, you understand...you'll be sticking around for the holy war, though, right?"
*Zendaya makes her default pissed-off face, leaves to catch the bus*

I think it would be cool if they did special editions of these with extra scenes, if they exist. The second one in particular feels like it had a bunch of stuff chopped out, everything happens very abruptly.

Sure, but it'll have been chopped out at the "getting the book down to two films" stage of writing, I'd expect.

Watched this last night in the cinema at a pretty well stuff screening given that its been released months ago! Its kinda impressive.
Anyway, by the end of this Chani is like an exiled communist at the end of a partially successful Islamic revolution.
