    Dune.

    Turning the Bene Gesserit power of Voice into some weird gun was fucking stupid.

    Edit to add: first film adaptation from the 80s. The latest movies have been good.

      I assume you mean the 1984 version?

        In the book, the power of voice was him singing.

          I mean, how was it different in the movie? As I recall it was still a vocal thing. They could have done a better job explaining where it came from but I don’t remember it being egregiously different.

            Voice is not a weapon like a gun or knife. Voice commands people. It’s like speed hypnosis/mind control achieved through voice manipulation.

              Like I said, I don’t really remember instances in the movie of the voice being used in a way inconsistent with that description. I’m not arguing, I’m asking for examples to jog my memory.

      As a Dune lover, I have a soft spot for the 1980s version. The thing I tell people before watching is, “this isn’t Dune, this is a fever dream David Lynch had about the idea of Dune.”

        That’s a really good description.
