They ruined Rabban! What a giant waste of a villain...


*MAJOR SPOILERS*

So in the first movie we had this vicious and powerful villain called Rabban, portraited by a big muscular guy like Dave Bautista. He was one of the main responsibles for the mass attack towards Arrakis and for thousands of people, during the first movie.

Everyone wanted the man hero, Paul Atreides, to get revenge sooner or later on Rabban, or if not him then someone like Gurney Halleck who's a very powerful hero as well.

Then what do we get in the second movie, Dune 2...? Rabban turns into a bumbling idiot who just yells in frustation in every opportunity, then when he fails his missions his uncle Vladimir Harkonnen threatens him and makes him looking more like a regular follower.

Then the insults continue with the appearance of Rabban's younger brother - Feyd-Rautha!

Feyd-Rautha is younger, smaller and doesn't look as menacing as the original portrait of Rabban. Yet when both start arguing they fight and Feyd-Rautha just wins and destroys Rabban in just a mere few seconds, and if it wasn't enough he makes Rabban kiss his feet to beg for his own life.

And it's not over. Rabban now has finally lost all his menace, now he just looks like a watered down and almost irrelevant villain. He now looks weak and pathetic.

So what happens? Finally we get the fight we all wanted at first, when Rabban was meant to be a serious villain at first - Rabban vs. Gurney Halleck!

Before the fight begins I just stopped caring what happpened because Rabban now turned into a mere pathetic henchman, not vicious anymore. But I was still curious what would happen.

So what happened was... Gurney Halleck absolutely destroying and killing Rabban in just a few seconds... LMAO!

Congratulations! They absolutely destroyed Rabban and made a villain with extreme potential into one of the most pathetic villains ever!

What the hell where they thinking?!

UMAD, but in the movie version he was supposed to have a big part.

reply

say who? he dident had a big part in the first movie. why are you assuming he will get a big part here just becuase you like dave bautista

reply

Says who?!

He was clearly one of the main villains. Trailers, posters... everything is there.

What have you been watching?

reply

he beraly had 2 min of screen time in the first movie you dumbass. he was not a big character even in the book

just because you are a retard who love dave bautista does not mean he will be a big vilian.

reply

You are a dumbass and a retarded monkey.

He had way more than just 2 minutes in the movie, you freaking imbecil.

It doesn't matter if you hate Batista, you freaking retarded chimpanzee.

reply

Your insults are pretty generic and repeating. I would describe you as boring

Rabban was a bumbling idiot in the books, so no injustice here.
Anyway, what were you hoping for? A fucking lightsaber battle?
When you say: the battle we all wanted, I assume you refer to simpletons like you, who need a hero and a big bad villain like in the children's books you didn't grow out of?

reply

You are a simpleton and ignorant little peasant.

In the first movie he was being built as one of the main antagonists.

You are a pathetic peasant and simpleton with no brain cells.

Capiche?

reply

Are you building me up as an antagonist so we can have a big forum battle here?

reply

Oh yes, I am!

I'm from the Light Side and you are from the Dark Side!

reply

reply

You seem to have failed to pick up on how it was done to show how being emasculated broke him.

reply

You are the one who seem to have failed to pick on how it was done.

The way it was done it was supposed to bill him as one of the main villains.

reply

Now I know why people respond to you the way they do. Bye, bye.

reply

Now I know why you are a massive troll.

Bye Bye!

reply

Don't lump me in with the alt-right that's always talking about a "masculinity crisis"... but I thought the same. It was a drastic turn.

reply

I always find annoying those people who bring Politics to everything including movies. I agree.

And I agree with you regarding Rabban. It was pathetic.
