I don’t know if anyone is a Dune fan but I was disappointed but not surprised in an omission in the new movie. In the book the Barron is a a ravenous homosexual and groomer of young boys. Nothing of the sort in the movie.
It would portray homos in a bad light.....................so no show...............
I will wait until they finish the second part to make a judgment. They had very little of the Baron at all in the first half, and the focus was definitely on omitting anything extrinsic to keeping the plot moving swiftly.
