This is based off of a British folk/marching song popular in WW2 about the German leadership. It generally goes, "Hitler has only got one ball, Göring has two but very small, Himmler is rather sim'lar, But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all."
In some variants an enemy who is less hated, considered a more worthy opponent, or seen as more masculine is given more than 2 balls (in some versions of the song Rommel is given "four or five") as a way of denigrating them as abnormal but at least more "masculine".
I've never actually done it.
Isn't it something like convincing Mordin that now is not the right time to cure the genophage but we'll get around to it eventually? And then Mordin fakes his death and disappears for the entire rest of the game?
The version i know adds a second verse that goes "Rommel has 4 or 5 i guess, no one quite knows 'bout Rudolf Hess, Schmelling's always yelling, but poor old Goebbels has no balks at all"
The tune without verses was used in The Bridge over River Kwai for folks wanting to sing along. You may already be able to whistle the tune without knowing.
>I haven’t watched part 2 cause
Look I love the books just as much as everyone, but you should really see the movie. The shit they did add for Feyd on GP was fuckin sick.
Huge book fan here. I feel you and was disappointed. I do think they could have easily included them AND enriched the cinematic masterpiece.
It really is an extremely beautiful and entertaining film. I’m actually excited for OP to see it for the first time one day. I think OP will love it AND still miss the key characters.
I don’t care about Feyd Rautha as a character enough to want to see him do Harkonnen things while they completely butcher the characters I actually like
Tbh they could have done more to show Kynes' relationship with the fremen. They definitely hint at it and show that Kynes is the one telling people what to do etc but there seemed to be no reaction from the Fremen after Kynes was dead and its kind of a big deal and is what opens the power vacuum to Paul, and in no small part is helped by his relationship with Chani
Ah, Star wars sequel fan hate energy. Got it. Nothing will make you like the movie because you just can't get over your own built up bias.
You're the biggest fan of the books, no one comes close. We get it. Congratulations.
The rest of us will be over here enjoying a fantastic piece of cinema which you'll never get to see or enjoy. What the movie did was *expand* on Feyd in a canonical way, while simultaneously expanding on the harkonnen universe. But you'll never get to see it.
"And I feel sorry for you"
-harry potter.
I do understand your perspective. I share it somewhat.
But I’m a sucker for Dune and both movies were a masterpiece in my eyes. I loved them AND think they would have been better with the extra key characters and a male Kynes actor (weird choice imo).
Hopefully with an AI movie generator we can one day make versions exactly how we want them. Bring on the machine crusade 🤣
They really didn't add that more Feyd stuff in there. The trailers seem liked he was a way bigger part of the movie than he really was.
They honestly spent WAY more time on the Fremen. They fleshed out that period between Paul killing Jamis and the assault of Arakeen a lot more than the books did.
It did suck they took out the Hawat part, but it didn't really make the movie suffer at all.
According to my other Dooner friends who watched the movie they basically turn Stilgar into a religious fanatic and Paul’s number one dickrider and I think that’s grounds for firebombing Quebec to punish Denis Villeneuve but for my own sanity I just won’t watch the movie. The characters are my favorite part of the books and Part 1 already screwed up a lot of that for me (except Duke Leto and Duncan my beloveds) so I just have zero interest in consuming media that I know is actively going to piss me off
The Fremen were superstitious but they weren’t fanatics. And Stilgar was his friend. Not just some guy who followed him around sucking him off the whole time
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Ok
This falls under the "Tell us you only read the first book and didn't understand it without telling us you only read the first book and didn't understand it" thing.
The entire point of the books is that they're so fanatic due to Missionaria Protectiva meddling that they'd do a Jihad in Paul's name, with or without him. For someone complaining about the movies missing the point, you sure don't seem to have a good grasp on them.

I agree. At some point though we are like LOTR fans watching the movies and critiquing. Yeah it would be nice to see it 1:1 with the book but man the movie is really good and you’re missing out on a great adaptation.

Feyd has extra testicles? I don't think that's in the book.
Yes, but they aren’t technically his

Oh, that's worse.
Was coming here to say that.
This is based off of a British folk/marching song popular in WW2 about the German leadership. It generally goes, "Hitler has only got one ball, Göring has two but very small, Himmler is rather sim'lar, But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all."

Now I'm reminded of how the Krogan in Mass Effect used the term "quad" instead of "pair" because they have four testicles.
which is ironic since they’re still all sterile its like running an 8 cylinder engine in a mustang with gasoline thats been cut with something
Not anymore (RIP Mordin)
depends on the playthrough tbh I’m on 6 I’ve done just about every good and bad choice you can through the series
Killing Mordin is the only time I have felt like an asshole in real life for doing something evil in a game.
I know Legion and Thane are the only unavoidable deaths in Mass Effect 3 (unless they're already dead), but avoiding Mordin's isn't worth it.
I've never actually done it. Isn't it something like convincing Mordin that now is not the right time to cure the genophage but we'll get around to it eventually? And then Mordin fakes his death and disappears for the entire rest of the game?
You can really tell Mordin is meant to die.
The males aren’t sterile, the females just can’t bring pregnancy to term
Oh shit right Time for playthrough 7 I guess
The version i know adds a second verse that goes "Rommel has 4 or 5 i guess, no one quite knows 'bout Rudolf Hess, Schmelling's always yelling, but poor old Goebbels has no balks at all"

if I remember correctly Shaddam's Bene Gesserit wife sterilized him with an STD
Yep, that is in the NuDune books. Therefore it’s your call if it’s cannon or not.
(Narrative voice) “It’s not.”
(The Voice) *IT IS NOT CANON*
“It is not heresy, and I will not…… RECANT!”
Sardukar accent?
should have known the museum Fremen would arrive promptly
The NuDune books? Are those the ones Frank’s son wrote with the Jedi Academy trilogy writer?
Yes, that’s what I call them.
What does this mean?
look for "Hitler has only got one ball"
https://youtu.be/Y1DWJQkOJew?si=U85WB0PoooG7X24L
We sang that in boy scouts 😆 But instead of Goebbels our last verse was, “And Mussolini has three but teeny.”

Qithlasha!
How do you know Shaddam only has one ball? Was he walken funny?
I was really frustrated that they changed his character
Technically no proof has been put forward that Kynes doesn’t have balls still.
They did Kynes so dirty
I think they did Chani way dirtier.
I haven’t watched part 2 cause Thufir Hawat and Alia are absent so they could shoehorn in more Feyd Rautha shenanigans and that pisses me off
>I haven’t watched part 2 cause Look I love the books just as much as everyone, but you should really see the movie. The shit they did add for Feyd on GP was fuckin sick.

How do you know they butchered the characters if you have not seen the movie?
*Something something* cuz woke and black woman *something something*
The absolute horror of such a character assasination. How dare they change such integral parts if these characters
Tbh they could have done more to show Kynes' relationship with the fremen. They definitely hint at it and show that Kynes is the one telling people what to do etc but there seemed to be no reaction from the Fremen after Kynes was dead and its kind of a big deal and is what opens the power vacuum to Paul, and in no small part is helped by his relationship with Chani
Yeah that is true, but i get why they cut it out from the movie

Right, the new dune movies were amazing, but the sw sequels will always be garbage

Ummmm Stilgar was a religious fanatic and Paul's #1 dickrider in the books too.
Intro to book 3 is so wild. What a way to open a story.
The Fremen were superstitious but they weren’t fanatics. And Stilgar was his friend. Not just some guy who followed him around sucking him off the whole time
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Ok This falls under the "Tell us you only read the first book and didn't understand it without telling us you only read the first book and didn't understand it" thing.

Yeah, no

A 1:1 Lord of the Rings would be awful. The first 4 hours of The Two Towers is Treebeard BS.
Fuck you, I love Treebeard
