I can see my wife die a little every time I'm about to nerd out. So I spare her details.

That's why I ask if they want the full in depth explanation or the short one. Well it happened once during Dune so far, she asked for the full one. I can't even recall the question but she thought it made more sense after at least, maybe to do with blade fighting and shields, they really hammer it in the novels. Though to be fair any Dune explanation sounds better from the books than either movie, okay I haven't seen the last half of Lynch's Dune in decades but the first half didn't explain things well so I don't expect the last half to be better from my fuzzy memory.

Dune may be a bit of a special case compared to the franchises listed too.
