Acting like Feyd needing rigged matches diminishes his true lethality completely misunderstands how Harkonnen politics operate in the source material.
In Frank Herbert's novels, optics, paranoia, and psychological dominance are just as vital as physical combat, meaning a sadistic mastermind manipulating his own arena odds to project absolute invincibility is peak Baron-style chess playing.
Purists whining that every villain needs to win every fight cleanly just want a generic action movie instead of a complex story about fascism and media control.
If you want a sci-fi universe where the main antagonist refuses to use political propaganda and rigged setups to control the masses, go read a fairy tale instead of Dune
Something I don't understand about Dune:
If Feyd-Rautha was such an exceptional fighter, why did his arena victories need to be staged?
In Dune: Part Two, two of his opponents are drugged, while the third is deliberately left capable of fighting back. The whole spectacle turns Feyd into a hero in front of the crowd.
But the book makes this even more interesting.
Feyd and Thufir Hawat had their own scheme involving an apparently undrugged Atreides prisoner, designed to make Feyd's victory look even more impressive.
So was Feyd actually proving he was the greatest fighter in House Harkonnen, or was he just another product of the family's political manipulation?

Acting like Wanda's awakening as a reality-warping nexus being is some revolutionary lore milestone completely misinterprets how magic works in the source material.
In the comics, chaos magic and ancient prophecies carry deep, cosmic consequences, whereas the cinematic universe treated her legendary transformation like a seasonal costume unlock in an online battle pass

What was the War Hammer Titan gonna do when itโs time to sprint across the island like Annie and Reiner? Running while dragging a whole cable and crystal is crazy
Imagine the War Hammer Titan trying to sprint across Paradis while dragging a whole flesh cord behind it like a phone charger ๐๐ญ

Is there a lore reason why uncle Ben is the only person who stays dead in the marvel universe?

The greatest hypocrisy in MCU history is Tony Stark signing the Sokovia Accords for "accountability" and immediately committing an international war crime.
Tony spends the entire movie weeping about collateral damage and arguing that heroes need government oversight. His very next move? He stalks an unregistered 15-year-old minor in Queens, blackmails him by threatening to expose his identity to his grieving guardian, and traffics a sophomore in high school into German airspace to throw hands with a super-soldier who punched out Adolf Hitler.
He literally flew an uninsured tenth-grader to a German airstrip because Steve Rogers refused to sign a PDF

โAVENGERS: DOOMSDAYโ and โAVENGERS: SECRET WARSโ will adapt the โAvengers: The Childrenโs Crusadeโ storyline.
This is according to the post-credit scene of โVisionQuestโ

If the Fremen had the technology, knowledge and resources to terraform Arrakis, why did they never consider that making their planet green could eventually mean the extinction of the sandworms and the destruction of their most valuable resource? #Dune

The wildest one Iโve come across is that Lucy Gray Baird survived her confrontation with Snow in the woods and later reinvented herself as Greasy Sae, the tough old woman running the soup stand in the Hob. On the surface it feels like a stretchโthe vibrant, rainbow-dressed performer who outsmarted the 10th Games turning into a pragmatic, low-profile survivor who trades in scraps and looks after Katniss after the warโbut the open-ended ending of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, her foraging skills, and the booksโ mention of a forgotten District 12 victor make it weirdly tempting. It would also mean Lucy Gray never fully escaped Panem; she just learned how to disappear inside it while still quietly looking out for the next girl from 12 who refused to play by the Capitolโs rules.
Even more unhinged theories float around, like Lucy Gray somehow becoming (or mothering) Alma Coin, which would turn Snowโs first betrayal into the seed of the rebellion that ultimately toppled him. Sunrise on the Reaping keeps the mystery alive by showing a Covey grave for Lucy Gray without confirming sheโs in it, while also locking in the family connection between the Covey and Katnissโs father, so the fandomโs still spinning stories about how much of District 12โs resistance was quietly shaped by the girl Snow thought he left behind. The ambiguity is clearly intentional, and it keeps the whole timeline feeling connected in ways the original trilogy never spelled out.

Unpopular opinion: telling a new story in Raccoon City was never the problem. Following an ordinary civilian during the outbreak couldโve been a brilliant approach.
The problem is changing the very things that make Resident Evil what it is. If you're using the 1998 setting, the T-Virus, Umbrella and the RE2 era, let them be the foundation.
You don't need Leon or Claire to make it feel like Resident Evil. You need the chaos, survival horror, Umbrella's presence and the terror of ordinary people caught in an outbreak.
An original story doesn't have to mean an unfamiliar universe.
