The old movie did the best job with the side characters.

The miniseries did the best job with the political machinations.

The new movie did the best job conveying an intelligible plot and the scale of the spice operation and the worms, and with actually showing the Paul described in the book.

None of the adaptations have had a plausible Chani. Zendaya was particularly bad.

    I hate how it seems like almost no time passed between the two parts of the new series. It feels like a month at most between Paul joining Sietch Tabr, and the attack on Arrakeen..

    Meanwhile in the books, he had a baby and that baby died in a sardaukar attack FFS! We should have felt there was a time spent training those tribes to become galaxy-jihad-ready force we see in the end. Meanwhile, all of Part 2 is a smooth ride between: Paul in Sietch -> Paul riding the worm -> Paul finding atomics -> Fremen blowing the shield wall.

    Part 1 was amazing though.
