And then he did Dune.
How do you confuse Dune with a superhero movie.
Do you consider the Lord of the rings or Star Wars superhero movies?
No confusion at all. Frank Herbert wrote Paul as a superhero white savior. It’s the point of the entire story. I think people are thinking that I am criticizing the movie or his acting. But I’m only commenting on the fact that he was told not to do a superhero movie and then played a superhero in a story.
I think the threshold may be: adapted from comic book equals hero movie; adapted from novel equals sci fi.
That’s just sci-fi, not super hero like Marvel/DC.
