The casting for this movie is a disaster in general. Zendaya can’t act for shit unless she’s playing a deeply sarcastic character who rolls their eyes every 40 seconds. She was astonishingly bad in Dune.
She’s the only character I completely disliked the casting for. She is supposed to be strong, threatening, and brilliant. In the first movie she sort of is, but she is a wimpy gossip in the second movie. If I remember correctly Paul is afraid of her through the first book (2 movies), that barely translated into the movies.
Okay so cut me some slack because it’s been a few years since I read it (despite it being my favorite book) but it seemed like she was tougher and more independent in the movie than what I remember from the book
Yeah that sounds right to me as well. At least if we’re talking about the first book, she barely had a personality at all. Hell, I liked the book enough to read it multiple times, but sometimes I don’t know how Herbert wrote 400 pages and only managed to flesh out like 5 characters.
I just hate it when there is a hype around an actor so they just get cast in everything. I guess it makes sense financially. Art under capitalism and all that.
I just can’t help but automatically dislike those hyped actors. Zendaya and Chalamet are on top of that list. The stole Dune from me.

I now am a believer in the many worlds hypothesis. Clearly we have seen very different movies.
I loved her in Dune. She made the character very believable.

Fair enough. The casting of those movies made them hard for me to enjoy. Chalamet is almost as irritating lol.
We need a gaunt white man! Cillian Murphy isn’t available? Cast Chalamet! They don’t need to be talented for this role anyways.
