Their voices was because the book had a lot of internal dialogue (so the movie mimicked that). The sound shooting thing was because he didn’t want kungfu in space, which I would have liked.
Lynch had a problem with visually representing the voice control that Bene Gesserit use. I think the new Dune did a good job with the sound processing to convey that. But I guess back then he thought audiences wouldn’t catch that the victims of the voice weren’t just following commands but were in fact unable to disobey the commands. On the book the Bene Gesserit actually taught the Fremen some of the weirding way, which is indeed kungfu in space. On Villeneuve’s Dune they also dropped that part of the plot and instead leaned more heavily on the access to atomic weapons and the military use of worm riding.
I don’t recall having an issue with how they made “the voice” sound. Again, not what I was referencing though.
I was specifically just talking about changing “the weirding way” from a form of martial arts into yelling someone’s name through a megaphone to kill other people. Just made shit up out of whole cloth for no apparent reason. And it was fucking corny.
All that being said, I’m still glad Jodorowsky was not able to release his abomination that was for some reason titled “Dune,” despite bearing no resemblance to the source material.
Could have made a cool film, but it wouldn’t have been “Dune.” Dude hadn’t even read the novel, and was proud of it.

I was only referring to the one thing with my example, that is, using words to shoot people.
