The sequel arrives fully loaded, the tragedy has to start from scratch
Who do you think should win?
The Verdict Director's Cut
This matchup is Villeneuve running against his own origin story — without Incendies, there's no Dune. Incendies is the slow-burn Quebec drama whose Oscar nomination got him the keys to Hollywood, building its tension from nothing for two hours before it lands its blow. Dune Part Two, however, shows up with Part One's setup already paid for and gets straight to the good bits. Far more people have seen the sandworm than the slow burn, and the results reflect that. But Villeneuve, of course, wins either way.
