Book is 60 or so, the first dune movie is 40, the first new movie is nearly 4. There are 20 year old TV series and 30 year old video games. There are Dune RPGs that could legally drink if they were made of flesh instead of paper.
Spoiler warnings have expired entirely for Dune and Dune accessories.
On top of that, he mentions his dreams in the first chapter when he is talking to the Reverend Mother iirc
That’s a pretty bad take tbh. How dare people enjoy media in a different time and order from you!
No, it's perfectly reasonable for items to be openly discussed in public after a certain amount of time. Not to mention I believe even her initial introduction in the movie is the visions Paul has, and this wasn't a twist at all, so it's hardly a spoiler.
You think it's reasonable for one of the few people that doesn't know how a half century old piece of media ends to stifle discussion for everyone else who does?
You might have a case for a new movie or show, but something that was public knowledge before the moon landing? Whose story has been repeating in our culture in various forms for six decades?
No, thats not a reasonable ask.
Sorry, I didn't mean it with any level of seriousness. Though I can understand why I was interpreted that way
Ha, it's all chill. You just gave me a soapbox is all.
