So the Dune remake didn't do as good as expected because critics said people were having issues understanding the plot and source material of Dune

>Rolling Stone calls the source material “notoriously impenetrable
>People who have managed to digest it often settle into a palpable smugness over that achievement.
>Though I have seen neither film, I do not think Dune is Star Wars. I know it is not Mad Max: Fury Road because I have seen Mad Max: Fury Road, and le petit Monsieur Chalamet never showed his finely chiseled face. But suffice to say, Dune combines the dustiness of the latter with the spaciness of the former
>Much of the story is devoted to sci-fi bureaucracy. Which elites have import/export rights in which provinces? What are the specific bylaws governing a leadership transition? If someone wants to lodge a complaint, which regulatory body must they contact?
>Timothée Chalamet is in flux. “There’s a crusade coming,” and in order to win it, he must be able to withstand all the pain in the box; he must also get better at sword-fighting
>Li’l Timmy Tim feels extreme pressure because people keep handing his father planets, better and better planets, only Daddy keeps ruining them
>One minor character is introduced as a member of one organizational hierarchy, but turns out to be simultaneously holding an important position in another org chart
>And it has come to my attention that Herbert pilfered a bunch of Arabic and Persian words, embedding them in the architecture of his sprawling Dune world, a practice known today as appropriation.
