GAAHHHHHHHHHHH. Okay. That did it for me.
You know, I really wanted to watch Avatar when it came out, I have a 3D television and Blu-Ray 3D, and was crushed when they dead-ended it. I was really into the graphics. But when I finally did watch it, it was so irritating and nauseating with the whole exploitation by evil capitalists, that I never did buy the 3D disc.
I hate taht BS. And I love the Dune works, really enjoyed reading them, and then...this.
Ugh.
I have never seen and will never see Avatar. Anything “woke” I ignore, because I want to be entertained by movies. Not annoyed, harangued, or preached at, and I won’t reward producers/directors who do so with one thin dime.
I am a huge Frank Herbert fan. I love the psychology and development he put into his characters and plots.
These “changes” utterly ruin key aspects of it.
I’ll still see the new movie. The same way I slow down when I pass a wreck on the highway.
