At least the syfy miniseries dared to adapt Children of Dune.

I actually like it. We finally get an Irulan with agency and see Alia as a full character. And Leto 2 getting sandy.

Not sure how I feel about the Baron narrating in rhyming couplets though. Maybe just a tad too strange, even for Dune.

I did not, but not for lack of interest. I just never got around to it. I know very little about it but it always looked to me like the visuals at least drew very heavily from Lynch’s movie.

It wasn't bad. It is better than Lynch's film. It's not as good as the Villenuve's.

If it means anything I read all the books

Where does Jodo's work rank in your estimation?

He never finished it but Im not a fan of that guy. Self admitted rapists shouldn't be celebrated.

In El Toppo he actually raped the woman playing the prostitute in the rape scene.
