I feel like there is a strong correlation to Frank Hubert’s initial subtext with Dune (its islamic religious themes, a premise setting an empire against local populaces, the attention towards ecological developments in desert environments with a bias towards temperate zones from outsiders wanting to “enrich” the land), and all of the recent developments in Gaza and its history, both with the original influences to Hubert’s novel and the timing of a blockbuster adaptation happening while international focus grows towards Palestine, that is going unmentioned outside of the usual jokes and memes
#dune#palestine#gaza#free gaza#science fiction#media#Like yes the popcorn bucket is dumb and tone deaf marketing#but like you have a lot of connections#lot of it was very much allegorical to the real like events that took place during the time of the books conception#Including the good guy faction still imposing their own idea of correct environment by introducing a bunch of their own agriculture#When natives to the region do have their own tech and plants to live from#because they know their land and how to live in it#Oh and also spice being a resource being plundered for great profit that a imperial society is reliant on and will kill for
