/lit/ - Literature

Man, Dune is great so far except for that shit-tier prose and that clunky dialogue. Maybe I should accept that if you want good prose genre fiction is the last place you should look.

>This thread is proof that /lit/ is pleb tier.
All of /lit/ except you, right?
>but the plot and prose are trash.
Please elaborate. You claim it's trash, I claim it's great.
>The only thing Dune does exceedingly well is work as a catalyst for people with actual skill to make shit like Jodorowsky's sci-fi.
Except it doesn't. Jodorowsky's Dune failed before it even started production and would have been a clusterfuck, albeit a glorious one, that made no sense either way, Lynch's movie was total shit, and the mini series was mediocre. Dune has proven time and time again that it isn't able to be adapted.
>Dune is not some masterful work, it's just really influential.
What has it influenced? And why do you think that influence doesn't stem from it being a masterwork of science fiction?
>Seriously, start paying attention to the way things are written
It's written well. Some of the best prose, if not the best, in science fiction.
>and how uninteresting the actual plot is,
Funny, because I was very interested all the way through books 1 to 6.
