This is the last shreds of info I can gain from this deep dive on Dune and what it might have been.
So in the Comic the Paul on Caladan looking at his film book, once we see Arrakis it goes on to mention the Palm trees that line the palace and how the Harkonnens flaunt their water wealth this I would assume is correct. This goes on to the weather and never one drop of rain on Arrakis That makes way for the Spice mining filmbook in Pauls room to be correctly placed. It is a shame this remains unreleased.
I have a feeling that the burning palm trees were to be a symbolic visual for the downfall of house Atredies in Pauls visions and the new 2021 version does this well to good effect.
The only other real other thing I can glean from the comic book adaptation is for when Kynes is killed and Paul starts to have his waking dream. Kynes when he has his suit ripped apart has an inner monologue about how “all his dreams of turning Arrakis into a paradise have come to nothing (dust?)” i think the mention of dreams is accurate for it is with dreams and waking dreams induced by the spice that possible futures are glanced at yet Paul seems to know which ones will come true.
When Paul has his Waking dream in the comic seems to suggest in the pictures the shots of the 2 moons with red smoke (Check German trailer) should go here and the moon cracking apart like an egg which comes much later only seen in the TV version I think. So this whole surreal sequence was rather different. This may also mean that some of the visions used in the waking dream as is released were meant to go when Paul lands by the Harvester with Leto and we hear “Spice, pure unrefined Spice”
Lastly the comic book includes Alias birth and being held up Rabaan in the bathtub and that seems correct as per the script and falsifying reports about Spice production at critical levels. This was the Secret report within the guild as originally intended before they pay a second visit to the emperor.
So thankyou for reading. Please let me know your thoughts on how things were changed or altered pleade look at the scripts the comicbook and anything else. I would love to hear your thoughts on what David Lynch’s vision might have been as only he can truly know but we can I think see the bit’s of it trickling through
