TMA_1 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I started posting at Dunenovels.com, and yeesh!there are so many whiny prequel lovers there! they feebly try to defend their precious prequels and do so kinda pitifully if I may say so. "You know what's rich? They always bash the prequels but if there are inconsistancies found in Frank Herbert's books, they always turn away! Ha!"They have this huge inferiority complex, in fact it is kinda funny.sorry, had to post this because I got this kinda smug distaste for the prequels lately, especially after Hunters of Dune came out. bleh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiceGuid Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Seems somewhat a moody post to me.Prequels lovers do not benefit a movie adaptation, nor a miniserie, nor video-games settled in about the same time line of the classic novel. Being an extension is not as confortable as being the main thing. The first right of prequel-lovers is the rigth to exist, to have a place and a voice.You will not educate by diminishing what they like, people that feel overlooked do not react in the most intellectual manner. Give them time to mature, to read the classics, inconsistancies are secondary, time is your ally, it will show them how Frank Herbert is a generous brain feeder.Historically i don't feel Fed2k as prequel-friendly, so it's wise, when you post at dunenovels.com to be especially tolerant so prequel-lovers have at least one friendly place to live.

Egeides Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I think that most prequel reader here would expect to be bashed, perhaps until he knows how are most people around or starts discussing something else :PIf someone likes to read authors he sees as aiming to be a perfect fit and continuity into Tolkien's world, up to them (it's typical of classics, even of classics from classics). It is a pleasure as many others, so up to each one. It's not like if I was supposing that their goal should be to get from their favorite readings what I got from FH/other.

TMA_1 Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 yeah kinda moody, dont really appriciate the prequels. Besides, it is mostly in jest. Its all fiction anyway, and shouldnt be taken seriously at all. just being an ass I guess.lol :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiceGuid Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Ok, enough with prequels-bashing, let's start sequel-bashing ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_Worf Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I have to say... the way Dune fans turn against each other is kind of sickening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Why? People turn against each other all the time. Is there some special reason that people who like Dune should be agreeing with each other's every word? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I agree Dante. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
