This series uses material from the Great Schools of Dune trilogy, by Brian Herbert and Kevin J
Plot
Two Harkonnen sisters battle forces that threaten the future of humanity and found the legendary sect that would become known as the Bene Gesserit. Whether exploring the stars, escaping dystopias, or making the world a better place, these women are what science fiction is all about. Anderson. A prequel to the original Dune, it tells the story of how the Sisterhood of Rossak evolved into the Bene Gesserit.
Which is referenced in AniMat's Crazy Cartoon Cast: The New Normal (2020)
The incident with Valya Harkonnen using the voice is from one called "Mentats of Dune". All three books intertwine the development of the Sisterhood, the Mentats, the Navigators, and the Suk Doctors. I don't mean to be critical of just the first episode of a TV show, but this was just average on all levels. The acting was subpar, except for a few well-known actors like Mark Strong, Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, and maybe Travis Fimmel.
The story was very bland, and the dialogue wasn't Dune-worthy
The rest of the cast felt like they just came out of film academy or something. I like slow-moving dramas that take forever to build because I know the payoff is worth the wait. But this wasn't just slow, a lot of stuff happened, but it was just boring, I don't know how else to put it. The soundtrack that made the movies so memorable was a bit stilted here, with some familiar sounds popping up here and there, but it just wasn't well-timed.
My question is, did he like it being made?
It was like I heard a lot of music here that didn't really have any effect. I remembered how long movies would just have people talking and then boom, Hans Zimmer was doing his magic and I was getting excited. But I know he had no part in creating any of the sound here, and I don't even have to check that. I'm not sure Denis Villeneuve was involved in this production, I hope not.
Food for thought
Would a regular TV show like this after two epic movies have any effect on the highly anticipated third movie? The reason I wonder is because The Penguin was so good that it made me appreciate The Batman even more than I did after watching it, and I can't wait for the second movie. So how would Dune: Prophecy impact the third movie, if there is one.
