Liet Kynes has been changed from a white man to a black woman - but that won’t keep me from seeing the film.

"...Liet Kynes has been changed from a white man to a black woman..."

Okay.

Right off the bat, I am out on that, pandering. Pandering. PC. Dammit.

I don't rag on anyone for wanting to see it, and not you...I wish I could get past that. I just grit my teeth over details like that.

I wish I could, but I will growl the entire movie. Eh. I hope it succeeds, maybe at some point I'll watch it down the road.

I enjoyed the miniseries, not the stupid movie with Sting.

Changing Liet Kynes from a white man to a black woman has to change important aspects of the family of Paul Atreides.

Is “Chani” still the daughter of Liet Kynes? (Chani is Paul Atreides concubine and from whom Leto II is born).

Changing “race” is one thing for a character, but changing gender does more to change relationships.
