WOW!
Considering I am a huge fan of Tolkien, and I absolutely LOVE the majority of the Dune series, I am conflicted.
Another Dune Remake?

I heard the news of a “Dune” remake due out in 2020. I saw the endless comparisons to the disastrous movie that came out in 1984. Sting goes shirtless! Picard is a warrior! But everyone forgets the SyFy masterpiece ...
No need to be. You don’t have to adopt Tolkien’s opinions. It may have been jealousy for all we know. They are, after all, completely different genrés. Tolkien was writing mythic fantasy while the Dune series was mythic Science Fiction with a Religious bent. While some think they are the same, they aren’t. They operate under somewhat different rules. Fantasy writers don’t have to apply the same restrictions that SF writers do.
