A movie full of black and brown people cast in titular roles - The Harold of the Change (a character whose presence, foreshadowing and importance far outweighs his screen time), Thufir Hawat, Jamis, Stilgar, Chani, ALL OF THE FUCKIN FREMEN - that is stylistically REPLETE with African and Middle Eastern influences is being criticized (by who tho?) for lack of Middle Eastern & North African (MENA) representation…
Reminds me when there were a bunch of articles panning Cyberpunk 2077 - a game that lets you choose your character’s pronouns, vocal characteristics, and sex organs (with multiple size and type options) with full and uninhibited customization - for lack of trans representation because the game’s corporate goons and yakuza assassins didn’t use Ze/Zir pronouns while trying to murder you…
Please make it make sense. Representation issues are real, but this ain’t it, love.
