If Denis was going to make changes to the book, he may as well have kept Duncan Idaho (Jason Momoa's character) alive, because him and Bardem were the only characters who had any personality.
While watching, I kept expecting this to happen. I was thinking instead of it somewhat happening in a future movie, he might as well do it now.

1) What'd you think of the the chemistry between
Paul and Chani

And please don't get LSA with it when it comes to the rumors surrounding both.

2) I've heard a lot of people's take on why
ol girl didn't want potna to become the Messiah
.

I'm still not sure what the FILM said about it.

I think flirtatious chemistry is pretty much the one acting task the Zendaya is very good at, and it showed here because Tim wasn't doing much of the heavy lifting. So it worked imo because of her.

They don't have natural chemistry and story wise there was no reason as hell not to have the time jump

The film they made her anti religion as it kept her people enslaved , he should have stuck with the book

1. Zendaya carried a lot of the one on one parts between the two, she's the heart of the movie

2. To put it simple, yes.

I took it

as her wanting Dune for Fremen (aka Africa for Africans) and sort of opposing the great white savior.

Other takes, it's about her not wanting to lose Paul as became a messiah.

It could be both, but my take as that it leaned more towards the former than the later.

I took it more as an age thing. The youth rejecting the old stories of their elders, her and her friend both called it stories and not a prophecy.

In the film, it was regional, Stilgar was from the fundamentalist South. They kept using that word "fundamentalist" as if the whole story wasn't coded as Arab/Muslim already lol.
