SyFy did one 10-20 years ago. It was more faithful to the books than the David Lynch version but the low budget really showed.

One of the things I really appreciated about the series was the nutso couture costumes. It really helped the characters feel relatable but alien at the same time.

You don't notice the redone one looks like every other bland comic out there?

Yes, I found it used familiar color language to communicate in ways that my brain interpreted naturally. The other does not.

Miles Teg's only flaw is that he has no flaws.

Yeah, Messiah is barely even a novel - more of a connecting story between Dune and Children. It's a good quick read but doesn't function well on its own. Children is a great third act but you can see the wheels coming off the wagon (especially in Alia's bits).

This is covered in the books. Extensively.

As much as I love the SciFi series, Oscar-winning actor William Hurt was utterly wasted and basically slept through the filming.

Robots being the ultimate enemy is hinted at by Siona's spice vision in God Emperor.

yeah....the robots are not the problem so much as the shoddy worldbuilding, terrible characterization, and incomprehensible plot.
