(hi its highseasgirlbossing) share ur thoughts on dune if u like? i've been teetering precariously on the edge of being Into It for weeks and i still havent made up my mind haha
*steeples fingers* alright. dune. I can't in good faith say that I Enjoy it in any particular way, but it Captivates me. also I have been known to enjoy a good Media With When The Worms Big in my time.
mostly my Thoughts today have been in relation to the 2021 movie, and my general disappointment on the adaptation's take on the funky fellow I consider to be Perhaps The Most Fun Character.
I just really like The Version of Gurney Halleck That Exists In My Mind an awful lot. space bard! vibes are those of a weird uncle! burbling stew of conflict between loyalty and revenge needs! can absolutely murder and kill so much! going to say it again but space bard!
I've only read the first book and don't really intend to go further, and I haven't seen any of the other adaptations, so I might be missing a good chunk of the picture, but I think he's pretty neat and the designs most adaptationeers have been putting out there don't do him justice.
don’t get me wrong, I love the soundtrack of this movie, and I’m planning to play it in the same way I play all my other favorites of hans zimmer’s work (Really Really Really Loudly and Often), and the bagpipes were inspired. but also, they really should have let him sing!
I don't have my copy of the book on hand, nor do I have time enough to write out my full essay on why he's Important To The Tone in all the ways that he is, but I think you get the idea at this point? seriously, why would you ignore the Space Bard.
#answers from the cupola#my thoughts on Dune Original Flavor are mostly inexpressible gibbering#whatever facial expression you imagine for '???' is the best explanation of my feelings#2021-adaptation gurney was. so boring. both design-wise and characterization-wise.#let him sing! that is the main thing that makes him cool! c'mon!#also I think it's clear I love the 'singing a folk song from home over a dying soldier' trope a little bit too much#so it was kind of a lost cause for me not to get attached to this guy.#WAIT NOPE exactly one version of him can have rights and it's an uncredited pencil sketch on the wiki page#thank you to whatever glorious illustrator gave him BIG POOFY STRIPED SLEEVES#THAT'S MY GUY RIGHT THERE
