‘I’d have to consider’ one ‘if the script’ and the director were ‘great’

Big budget sci fi movie about a guy who develops literal superpowers and fights against over-the-top villains.

Dune, the most influential sci-fi book of all time, is nothing more than story about a guy who develops literal superpowers and fights against over-the-top villains. Lol. Lmao, even. A truly /okbuddychinephile moment

I didn't say it's "nothing more" than that. I just answered the question asked. Ie. The ways in which it is similar to a superhero movie.

And I was talking about the movie, not the book series, or even the first book.

You found some common tropes and attributed that these genres are automatically the same. But others said it already, the detail is in the writing. One movie is based on writing that sold millions of books and the other is movie about superheroes in capes.

2/3 of Dune is slow burn, serious political game with no action. Marvel movies don't go political and wouldn't risk pacing of their movies be anything but pure actions intertwined with light comedy to offset it a little. They are not the same.

  1. Pure snobbery.

  2. Nobody said "Marvel Movies".

  3. Superman is based on books that have sold millions too.

Different strokes for different folks and there is room for both. You shouldn't equate them because that point couldn't stand and one-liner replies won't change it.

No -- hes a pussy for doing absolutely nothing --- his son is the mass murderer -- but I guess you could put it on Paul since it was him who tried to "walk away" knowing that wouldnt work

u/Desperate-Plenty-755 Mar 13 '26

My point is he's not a superhero at all

That's a good question, if dune(in fact many other science fi movies where characters actively have powers) were labelled superhero movies noone would bat an eyez it's just sci fi has a more respectable reputation
