to be fair, Dune (1984) had as production designer the guy behind fucking 2001: a space odyssey. There was no way the Villeneuve version wasn't going to be visually mogged by it.

Villeneuve had no chance
the castle looks like shit
the throne room is a tiny gaudy room
meh, still better than space brutalism
Looks like Trump's apartment in NYC.
The throne room of the emperor of the galaxy ought to be almost geographic in scale.

I like the simple minimalism of nu dune's visual design. Dune is fairy narratively complicated so best not have the aesthetics to be cluttered.
I guess that makes me a turbo pleb.
>just let my subjects take an hour to walk from the reception area to the throne
retarded to be perfectly honest
But gets to the point. Also, Leto II did exactly that- let them walk.
here's your fremen wife bro
That's exactly the kind of thing a person titled "emperor of the galaxy" would have people do because they could.
thats letos throne room, which was in a castle the size of a mountain
thats the point
kind of stupid since you have a big galaxy to run if you have people you need to talk to taking public transportation to travel from the door to your seat.
10/10 would murder Javid for.
you tell them when you want them in front of the throne, if they have to start 2 hours early thats their damn problem
Pretty sure that’s Pauls Throne room from Messiah
Are you stupid?
Leto owns everything in the galaxy, every single thing, nothing can work without him since he controls the very production of spice at his command.
If he says be there at 4pm, you'll be there.
The guy who is suppose to be there at 5pm probably left only a few minutes after you.
this, space brutalism is the death of scifi
that said brutalism is the death of p much everything
what if they go all tacticool on the costume designs but they keep insane shit like this?
Trump is the emperor of the galaxy, though.
are you stupid? really, are you? you brought it up. I don't care how magical some worm with stupid powers is supposed to be, plot devices making everything work doesn't mean it should.
Too incongruous, If little details, like say the palace guys have extravagant uniforms but their weapons are full on form following function that's a nice little hint about the world they are building
It sure does
*palace guards
The throne room was meant to inspire awe and terror in the people who would have to walk up to the emperor. They'd be confounded how such a huge structure could be built with no visible supports, their walk would be long enough for them to be broken and humbled by the time they reached the emperor
>muh dick
Why?
>being this mad that you got called out on being retarded
>missing the point yet again entirely
All of this was done on purpose you ignorant savage.
Leto and for a lesser extent his father had precognitive powers and were able to process information at a rate faster than computers can.
Every act was deliberate.
Leto's every action was done to inspire fear and purposely promote rebellion via his great plan.
Humans stagnate when there is nothing to fight against and making the ruler of a world walk on their feet like a lowly peasant is the kind of thing that inspires the desire to rebel.
You need to educate yourself before going on the internet.
I'm glad you'll never pass on your genes.
Most the sets look great but you can really tell they started running out of money at some point into production
There's nothing mad about me. You're like a spastic at this point. You might as well be arguing there's nothing inefficient with communicating over a 90000 mile copper cable that no longer carries any conductance.

Maybe it was around the same time the whole crew got sick with explosive diarrhea from eating the local mexican food
>i'm being retarded on purposes
Damn son, you're really mad about not getting something from a 30 year old book
that's you buddy
You must be smarter than that post, user.
Leto II wasn't particularly involved in the day-to-day affairs of his empire once he got it running. Most worlds exist in a state of simplistic agrarian idyll and therefore have little political import. The robust bureaucracy that Leto curates is able to handle their petty concerns. The Tleilaxu, Guild, Bene Gesserit, and Ixians all do their respective thing, but they're all deeply dependent on Leto's spice and that keeps them in check for the most part. Any rebellions that crop up are summarily decimated and (often literally) fucked into compliance by Leto's carefully bred amazon legions.
But the big thing is that Leto delights in fucking with people because occasionally they react in interesting ways, which is his only real source of entertainment.
The thing that everyone barking at me in this thread has missed is that this entire exchange was referring to the emperor from the film. The one that wasn't a magical mary sue tier super emperor who is also a sand worm. It's just excess to the point of why are you even emperor to distance yourself from the means of actually having an empire, unless you're a super person that simply can't lose.
