I'm willing to bet WB is worried about not enough women showing up to see it and so Villeneuve is trying to get women into movie theater seats to guarantee a good box office return.

that is a core of the story. You'd don't have to do anything different with the source material.

No, but it may be the most petty and spiteful villain I’ve ever seen towards what they think is their target audience.

“Even though [Lady Jessica] is a concubine to the king, she’s also his bodyguard, his mentor, she can read thought and emotion, and she’s the best fighter there is,” Ferguson added. “So there’s a subtle power that she needs to teach her son, [Paul Atreides], played by Timothée Chalamet. It’s a complex story, it’s hard to discuss in one sentence.”
Best fighter there is….so there’s a subtle power…
Um, what?
Lady Jessica is powerful because of her voice. Using the Bene Gesserit voice control technique, which is Jedi mind control on steroids.
That doesn’t make her “the best fighter”.
I’m so afraid that they’ve slaughtered another great story.
shite!

No, but her prana-bindu training does. The BG's could kick the shite out of damn near anyone hand to hand because of it.

I personally think wars, construction jobs, moving companies and the NFL needs more femininity since femininity now equals "power"...

I’m done with cowards. If I hear “It’s Just” one more time, I’m going to lose it.

I'm ok with it, women are important in the story

One of the most powerful factions in the Dune story is a group of clandestine women attempting to shadow control everything. How and why do you need "more"?
Have you seen the WoT trailer?
I mean it’s a series where the women run everything but are not the main protagonists and the trailer did everything to make it seem like the single protagonist, who is male, seem like a side character.

In the first 4 books, he is a side character who's occasionally part of a central ensemble. He's not even a side character in book 3. He's not in it.
Jordan was almost Frank Herbert-esque in his constant pushing of the "savior" out of the center of the novels.

TF are you talking about. He’s obviously the chosen one, if not a Mary Sue, and the core of the first two books at minimum. That’s not to suggest that there aren’t plot lines without Rand but the group gets split halfway through the first book. He remains the key.
Your post is pure revisionist history.
