Dune Part 2 is the Perfect Adaptation Because of One Key Difference


Where Part 1 ended the story of Paul, Duke of House Atreides, and began the story of Paul, "Muad'Dib," Part 2 ends the story of the Lisan al Gaib and begins the story of a would-be God Emperor’s holy war that he’s not exactly psyched for because Chani’s right to call him out on his bullshit.

This is great take on why Dune Part Two is so powerful. It's not "true to source," but it captures the tragedy playing out through Paul. I think the film adaptations cut through all the extra stuff in the book that couldn't have made it in anyways.

In my mind, the Villeneuve version of Dune is right up there with Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings adaptations.
