Zendaya was great in spiderman but she's the absolute worst choice for chani. Her "too cool for school" sarcastic persona doesn't fit with a primitive tribal religious fanatic at all.

She's a sassy, rebellious New Yorker, when Chani is mature, strong and feminine AF. Just because they're 15 doesn't mean they're supposed to be played like any Western "f u mom!" kid... Denis really dropped the ball there, but he's more of visual director than a storyteller, I guess.

To non US people who aren't exposed to the same celebrity overexposure (unless it's by choice) and have no particular opinion on Zendaya, she's ok. Haven't seen part 2 though.
It's not celebrity overexposure in my case. I like Zendaya, I'm not tired of her and would like to see her in more stuff. I just think she was the wrong actress to play chani.
Isn't Chani a non-believer in the movie, at least at first?
Even if she is, she was raised in the same culture as stilgar and the others
I was raised in a deeply conservative fanatically religious culture and I put out a sarcastic and "too cool for school" energy a lot of the time. What do you think counterculture is? I remember in the movie she's got a whole social circle of people who are on the same page as her.
Personally I think Zendaya plays Chani pretty well, and her character doesn't feel out of place to me.
You had access to a counter culture, though. All the fremen know is other fremen and maybe the occasional harkkonen. I appreciate what you're saying, but I still feel like it doesn't seem organic in context.

Wtf. Who thinks so much about people who they don’t even know?
Those who consider themselves White Knights in a Shiny Armour. We have too many of them thinking that only they know how things should be and that only they are bearers of the ideal moral codex.
Surely, you've heard of "tabloids"?
They earn money off of it. This guy probably doesn’t
I'm pretty sure their point is tabloids exist because there's a market of thousands if not millions of people that want to know about and think about people they don't know, such as this guy.
Yes, thank you. For some reason, I'm always surprised when trying to be evocative backfires into misunderstanding.

Today, only the literate suffer, and that applies to the recent Dune adaptations as well...
Educate an old and out of touch person please:
Is anus licking standard practice now? Is this presumed as obvious currently?
I wouldn't say standard, however I tongue punched a few fart boxs and I swore I never would.
Then one day a girl with an ass so fine comes strutting her way into your life that changes everything, so who am I to say no?
Such exquisite poetry, I've seldom heard before. I'm going to get this comment printed and framed.
I'm confused. Who is supposed to enjoy it, the licker or the lickee? It just seems like a nasty experience for everyone involved, especially with the enema I would require to get near the poop hole with my tongue.
Yes. Even my asexual ass gets pleasure as the giver. Quick way to make them squirm.
If it's a woman you're like right there anyways. Guy takes a bit more effort tbh.
What are you gonna look at it and not evenbsay hello?

Anus licking is what holding hands used to be
Lets say "popular". I wouldnt say "standard" is accurate.
Anal is now first base.
Hold up. "Anal" is not the same as "licking ass".
It kind of is though. Any ass licking is technically anal sex because it is sex that involves the anus, but not all anal sex involves ass licking.

- Who are they talking about?
- I hope they never get a partner because who know where their lips have been too
(Thinking through that last one they probably want a “pure” virgin)
Since you missed it, let me explain the joke. Ahem: Kylie Jenner is a despicable billionaire who exploits poor girls for money. Touching anything that she has touched, including a hot guy, is disgusting. That’s the joke.
Timothee Chalamet is in a relationship with Kylie Jenner. The character Zendaya plays in Dune kisses Timothee's character.
