@jessmahler Dune isn't an advanced society, it's a dark age following an AI apocalypse and a religious jihad, and the feudalism is "solved" by even more religious fundamentalism controlled by the God-Emperor Leto II. Nobody holds up anything from Dune as an idealistic place to live or a fucking role model!
#BlackPanther is brutal and anachronistic when set in our civilized, somewhat democratic world.

@mdhughes It is definitely technologically advanced, even if it isn't advanced in any other way.
And there are people who hold up stuff from Dune, in particular the Fremen, as representing a kind of ideal.
