I feel like they left out A LOT from the first third of the book. A lot of the political intrigue is missing, Jessica showing emotions when the bene gesserit NEVER show their emotions. And as cool as they were on screen, the slow bombs that go through shields kinda negate the reasons for shields, but more egregious is the fact that lasguns are rarely used in the book due to the fact that if they hit a shield it essentially explodes like a nuke but fheres a bit where they’re getting chased by a laser for a while in an active battle where both sides are using shields, and if it were to just knick someone or a vehicle with a shield, everyone in the city is dead.
The second left out stuff but I feel like a lot of it was fine for pacing and length of the film. I’m sad they didn’t go weird with the sister but the timeline was truncated in the movie for the pacing. I don’t feel like they left out much that was core to the story and feeling of dune as a whole, unlike the first.
Not 100% sure everyone in the city would be killed by the lasgun nuke. It could be the lasgun operators that get nuked. That’s the whole reason no one used lasers in war in Dune, you never knew which end was nuked if the laser touched a shield.
What did you feel were huge changes in dune 1? I’m not remembering anything as egregious as

I assumed it was both
It’s a coin flip on which end blows up or even both ends. That’s why no one except for Paul’s jihadis use them in war.
Which is why i have an issue with them being used in the first film, even though it was a cool moment
Haven’t seen part two, but the fuck is that? Ugh.
