It makes sense to me but I'm comparing them to the Lynch movie


There are a shite ton of details in these movies directed straight at readers that movie watchers won't get after 5 viewings.

I feel like I would have been lost without the '84 version. The people I know who hadn't seen it were very lost. The talking intro from '84 plus the navigator scene help a lot.

You’re outlining this like a bad thing, when I would say this speaks to how great this movie is that both the masses can enjoy along without everything spoonfed directly to them as well as with people who understand and are interested in the lore feeling like the story accomplished the impossible task of filming the ideas/themes/plot of Dune.

Certainly that leads to some folks completely misunderstanding the point of Paul’s character at points, but atleast it doesn’t actively change the point of Paul’s character like the 84 version.
