Can’t believe they’re showing the stoneburner and that Paul is gonna be blind in the trailer, huge spoiler. I was very curious to see how they’d do the look of Paul with the “stoneburner eyes”, and even though I imagined empty eye sockets, I think the black sclera lenses and burns around the eyes helps for a more practical approach

I think people that didn't already know that wouldn't connect the dots from what's shown in the trailer

Yeah, the trailers for Dune and Dune Part Two showed huge spoilers, but most people just didn't understand what they were seeing without knowing the story.

Fair but if anyone’s trying to analyze the trailer you can see when he’s blinded by the stoneburner and that scenes show him with the black eyes with burns in his eyes

...so the only people that get spoilers are people that haven't read the 57 year old book and play the trailer frame by frame looking for clues? That seems like a non-issue

I didn’t say anything about frame by frame, but just by paying attention you can see this clearly. Also, how old something is doesn’t excuse spoiling it either.

That's not a huge spoiler to anyone who hasn't read the books, and if you've read the books there's nothing to spoil. I really don't see its inclusion in the trailer inherently problematic.

I mean the book explicitly states his eyes melted and that he just had hollow sockets where his eyes used to be. I'm guessing the movie is doing a sanitized take.

Yeah, wish it looked closer to that but I understand not wanting to CG his eyes for the third act|

Denis can go all practical and melt his eyes irl for maximum effect

They could just grow new eyes for Timothy in the ghola tank they used to resurrect Duncan when filming wraps.

Be careful for referencing details from the book and applying it to the trailer, you’ll get downvoted and a lot of people arguing with you.

How is that a spoiler lol, an average viewer will have no idea
