Makes me wonder, for those actually from the middle east, is Dune a funny read or an incredibly obnoxious one?

Haven't read it but watched both movies. Some fucking white savior slop not gonna lie.

the only dune movie worth watching is the old one and, maybe, the documentary about how wacked out Jodorowsky's Dune would have been
