ST. ALIA OF THE KNIFE

[damaskino-26320]

Ngl I don’t think there’s any argument that would convince me Denis could’ve properly adapted young Alia in Dune: Part Two. Both the 1984 & Sci-Fi miniseries depictions of her failed to convince me & I have little doubt any attempt by the film to do so could only have failed to do her justice. It’s damn near impossible to find a young child actor approaching the kind of unsettling gravitas required for a role like that. Also, anyone talking about some form of CGI as another option is crazy. No way anyone would’ve stood for the Renesmeeification of Alia Atreides.

#Really the only way to fully have her as a part of the story in a way that isn’t completely jarring is through an animated adaptation #The issues live action projects have wouldn’t be present in that case #Alia Atreides #St. Alia Of The Knife #Dune #Dune: Part Two #Denis Villeneuve

MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR DUNE PART 2, SCROLL AWAY IF YOU CARE

On the subject of the Dune sequel movie:

Ok so Dune fans, book fans specifically, Thufir Hawat once again gets no love, he gets axed out of the story completely in the movie sequel, Alia gets no love either, she's still there but never gets born so we don't get the badass moment of her killing the Baron, Feyd Rautha at least gets more love than in the Lynch version but they rewrite his character to be a psycho instead of having any complexity like in the book, Giedi Prime does have a gladiator scene so at least they pay lip service but obviously a ton is left out and Count Hasimir Fenring is completely axed out of the plot as well, though his wife Margot at least is still in.. And once again Jason Momoa should've played Gurney instead of Duncan, it's more suited to his temperment so unless Momoa has read the books and knows something about any movie sequels in the works (Hayt possibility.. that would be dope I can't lie) unless he wants that, I don't believe that he was hyped to play Duncan, who was barely in the first Dune book and not impressive in the parts he WAS in.. Also glad to see they finally gave a nod to the Harkonnen blood relations that was never touched on in the Lynch version so I am glad to see that but overall... I just watched both of the new Dune movies back to back and the first one is actually like 90% accurate to the book, acceptable.. the second movie, while entertaining, changes and or omits about 70% of the story it might as well be fan fiction, certain characters don't act as they should, details are switched which can be cringe-inducing, but 😮‍💨 they stick the landing enough to be FINE, just temper expectations if you have read the book lol they do a lot of other characters dirty, oh yeah like Harrah, they axed that she belongs to Paul, Chani gets to be a Fedaykin (even though Fremen society only lets women confirm kills and tend to deathstills lol they would never allow it they're pretty sexist) and nope no orgy scene lmao can't have group sex omg what would the kids think watching this 🤓 death by a million nitpicks like that, agonizing.. but what can you do, even Lord of The Rings iced Tom Bombadil and those movies are still classics so, we take what we can.. both movies=5 hours runtime, and Dune has a lot more to say than in just 5 hours so this is most likely... as good as it gets

Herbert fans are insufferable because you'll agree to watch the movies with them and then five hours in they'll say "omg my favorite character is about to appear" and it's a fucking baby

Ah yes Dune, we have witch bitch wizard Mother of the millennium, narrative successor accidental-deliberate genocidal religious despot, eldest daughter traumacore war criminal princess, the only one who can think straight but is doomed by falling in love with the said prophet-despot, 4 year old space cocaine abomination turned cult-leader, and fridged malewife. Family of all time truly.

when i say “sad boy/girl hours” i mean i’m thinking about alia atreides at sixteen fucking years old saying,

“i wish i could burn this thing out of me…but i’m sister to an emperor who is worshipped as a god. people fear me. i never wanted to be feared. i don’t want to be part of history; i just want to be loved. and love.”

#sixteen is an estimate #but yk #this alone is proof enough that she did have a sense of self #but she felt her true self slowly slipping away #and thus we have cod alia #who still has herself #but she is wrapped in the identity of Being An Abomination #and can’t recognize that she can be her own person #or ask for help #because no one has given her that chance #not since paul left #dune #alia atreides #saint alia #st alia of the knife #dune fandom #paul atreides #dune part two #dune part 2

I had been the author of unalterable evils, and I lived in daily fear lest the monster whom I had created should perpetrate some new wickedness.

"Religious mana was thrust upon me," Paul said. "I did not seek it." And he thought: There! Let this man-fish think himself victorious in our battle of words! "Then why have you not disavowed it, Sire?" Edric asked. "Because of my sister Alia," Paul said, watching Edric carefully. "She is a goddess. Let me urge caution where Alia is concerned lest she strike you dead with her glance"

i'm sure this has already been discussed, but for as fun as creepy psychic fetus alia was in dune p2, i would have KILLED to see how a more book-accurate film managed 4-year-old reverend mother abomination child alia bullying the emperor while seated on his own throne, kicking her heels and making fun of baron harkonnen before killing his ass with a gom jabbar literally just like

#it's not a gom jabbar i knowwww i'm bad at images #but like you get the idea #god i wish i could've seen how they managed to have a 4 yr old kid actor speaking in full adult style with a soft palate lisp #letting herself get kidnapped for the chance to psych out the emperor and murder the fucking baron #kid alia in dune the book is so much fucking fun it's unbelievable #freaks the fuck out of everyone i adore her #dune #dune part 2 #dune 2 #alia atreides #st alia of the knife #mine #text
