    I’m kind of surprised at the reactions honestly. He’s even said this in interviews before, it’s a fun bit he does to comedically over-analyse any time a new sci-fi film comes out. I think he stopped or considered stopping for a while precisely because people took out the pitchforks and he didn’t want to ruin people’s fun, but I think the fact that many people enjoyed it swayed him to keep going.

      The problem is that these kinds of news outlets know that if you take it out of context in an article headline and make it sound like it’s a genuine critique of the movie, you’ll get a lot of engagement from people who are ticked off about it.

      Yeah, it doesn’t ruin anything for me. If you demand that your science fiction be 100% accurate, there’s going to be very little science fiction that you enjoy.

      Dune is really more like science fantasy, like Star Wars, anyway.
