      Dune isn’t a super hero film. It’s a space opera based on a series of Novels.

      Super Hero films are typically based on comic book stories from the likes of Marvel / DC / Dark Horse.

        How do you confuse Dune with a superhero movie.

        Do you consider the Lord of the rings or Star Wars superhero movies?

          No confusion at all. Frank Herbert wrote Paul as a superhero white savior. It’s the point of the entire story. I think people are thinking that I am criticizing the movie or his acting. But I’m only commenting on the fact that he was told not to do a superhero movie and then played a superhero in a story.

        I think the threshold may be: adapted from comic book equals hero movie; adapted from novel equals sci fi.
