Second, I don’t have a problem with them changing things. Like I said, not having Alia as a real character on its own was a good call for a film adaptation. I am not a purist in terms of film adaptations of books even in general. Like not depicting the scouring of the Shire in the LOTR films was a good choice. The issue with Dune Part 2 is they are making changes that alter the core themes from the book. If you changed LOTR so that Sam actually did end up taking the ring from Frodo and finishing the job, that would be a problem (and that actually is really analagous to some of the Dune Part 2 changes). You may have gone to film school (like ok and?), but you can’t argue these points if you haven’t read the books, because you don’t know the themes of the books so all you have to go off of is the films which are again in a vacuum, pretty awesome.\n\nI’m going to leave it at that because it’s going to get quite off topic I feel if we continue.",
