Foundations of Dune
Another excerpt from my forthcoming main channel video: Dune: A Short Critique.
This section begins by looking at the political philosophy that underpins Isaac Asimov's Foundation series, before contrasting it with Frank Herbert's Dune - which, after all, is a deliberate response to that other science fiction great.

Dune: Paul Atreides is NOT a Hero
Просмотров 102 тыс.2 месяца назад
An excerpt from my forthcoming main channel video: Dune: A Short Critique. This section compares the well-known Hero's Journey formula, usually associated with Joseph Campbell, with the lesser-known mythotype pattern constructed by Lord Raglan. The former is, famously, the structure adopted by George Lucas for Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, while the latter more closely matches Frank Herbert's de...

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves - The Definition of Mid
Просмотров 22 тыс.Год назад
By modern (Marvel) standards, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is not a bad film. By sensible standards, it's an incredibly safe, unambitious, mostly forgettable tale that doesn't even try to make use of the immense amount of lore and world-building created by its forebears. You could tell a much better story on your tabletop. The Full Review: Pending... Main Channel @TheLittlePlatoon Pa...

    Well Nia DaCosta definitely made history, making the worst performing MCU film. And I disagree, Black Panther wasn’t an “urban targeted” film. I was it twice in San Antonio, with mostly white audiences. Disney screwed up with Wakanda Forever. They should have recast T’Challa. And Black Widow should have got a better film, before Endgame and Infinity Wars. A Black Widow / Hawkeye team up would have worked. We could have finally seen what happened in Budapest. WandaVision could have led directly into House of M, introduced the X-Men and the multiverse.

    I took my troubles outside on a breezy afternoon, a beer in hand, on the patio out back of the pub. The band took a break and I took an earnest sip. Suddenly on the microphone was my friend, with whom I normally discuss movies. I didn't even know he could sing! And he did, and sang well, high and heartfelt, straight to my soul. I will never go to the microphone, or look good in a sleeveless shirt. But the things I do, I can do better with friends like you, even though we shall never meet, and the pub is the upstairs hallway, and the beer is just my phone playing a song while the kids brush their teeth. I took a mighty sip and now a toast: Thanks to the whole Platoon, movie cynic and casual vocalist. Thanks and Good Night!

    Thanks for putting this context together, I'm a big fan of the Dune (at least the four books I've read), but I really didn't grasp the context they arose from. I don't think I can align myself with Herbert's (or Asimov's) conclusions, but his point of view is fascinating to me. I wonder what he'd think of me currently making a YTP out of the audiobooks of his work, hah.

    Paul isn't a Hero. He is no villain either. He is indeed an anti-hero. The guy who becomes a monster or starts to go down a monstrous path because it is necessary for the good of humanity. He still serves humanity, in becoming what is necessary and that is, in his case just not the good guy. Much like Kain in the Legacy of Kain series. Both of them refuse the necessary sacrifice. For different reasons but with the same intended outcome. All to give the world the bitter taste of that terrible illusion; Hope.

    What **REPEATEDLY** baffles me is that these “directors,” “actors,” and “content creators” here in the third decade of the TWENTY FIRST CENTURY **actually** seem to BELIEVE that “female empowerment” in Mary Sue characters lacking any dramatic tension or characterological struggles or flaws is a NEW, “INNOVATIVE” phenomenon in Hollywood films…..It is *stunning* that a privileged, seriously overpaid actor with little to zero contact with the workaday, 8-to-6 reality most of us inhabit can *un-ironically* think “their” (sic) mere “representative” presence in a *Marvel* film does ANYTHING AT ALL substantive toward rectifying real inequality and other social problems endemic in the real world from which Hollywood does all it can to insulate “them.”

    To say that Paul Atreides is NOT a hero is just as bad and as wrong as those who say he is a hero. The truth is, both sides can be argued and he's somewhere in between. He has moments of absolutely amazing heroism and moments of the opposite. To sum it all up as simply either being a hero or NOT being a hero is totally simplistic thinking as is trying to categorize & label him (either "hero" or "not a hero"), that's also a sign of simplistic, narrow thinking.
