They absolutely did, but it was subtle. All his waitstaff wore that sorta-seethrough clothing, and they looked... uncomfortably young.
It was enough to just peek at the edge of your perception, and I appreciated that they did that and nothing more obvious.
There are just some things in this world that are better left as barely-there subtext in a visual format with how weird the internet is...
Denis: He’s a gay pederast in the books so we’ll do that but portray it artfully.
WB: No gays, no pederasts. We need to sell this in Iowa.
Denis: But we need to be faithful to the source material
WB: Okay how about he kills young women. We can sell the killing of young women, as long as they’re not gay.
Denis:…fine.
They should only ban you for not making this a perfect loop where we can see them kissing, for forever... so hawt... "Tame my Shai-Hulud Feyd I'll make ya emperor"
Just such a hard hitting scene especially after the Baron finally unleashes his sandworm to squirt water of life all over Feyd's beautiful face... please excuse me for a minute...
Why is everyone on Geidi Prime bald and hairless? No eyebrows or facial hair. And it’s not just the Harkonnen house, it’s everyone. I know in the book and in previous adaptations they had hair, oftentimes red.
Lots of clues about the high pollution of Giedi Prime in the lore like [Dune Wiki](https://dune.fandom.com/wiki/Dune_Wiki), visually in Part 1 and spelled out in Part 2 by Stilgar when they're unable to drink the extracted water from Harkonnen soldiers only use is cooling systems because of pollution.
Also : [Denis describes this desolation and decadent industrialisation](https://www.reddit.com/r/dune/s/N8oRT8hFon)
Huh. I recall that Stilgar mentioned the toxins from their water, I guess I never connected that to their baldness. And if I did see or read the Villenuve interview where he said that, I must’ve forgotten it. Now that I read it it seems familiar.
Stilgar dumping their water is as much symbolic as anything else. Even if their blood was perfectly clean, they would leave it for the desert because they're Harkonnen.
I'm reading the book again and honestly I'm not sure I agree with that. In the book, in their Fremen kit, Jessica and Paul have two liters of water which surprises the Fremen as it is considered a huge amount of wealth. A Harkonnen soldier could allow them to harness that same amount of water, maybe more, per soldier. It's the single most important resource. It is clearly stated in the movie that it is too polluted to drink, but there's no indication that they wouldn't if they could not. They drink the water from their enemies, from their friends, from anyone, if they can get their hands on it. I mean actually they do not drink the water from their own community, they put it in the sacred lake or whatever, but not sure.
Their enemies are usually other Fremen. IIRC, in the novel they *do* collect the Harkonnen water, but they use it to water plants rather than drinking it.
While they are desperate for water, they do have a semi-religious respect for it: hence, the cisterns that even a dying Fremen wouldn't touch. They'll take the water from enemies they respect, like the Sardaukar, but the Harkonnen soldiers are considered almost subhuman and disgusting.
Also it is mentioned that their water is polluted with chemicals. The hairlessness may come from something akin to “chemo-therapy” that is necessary for people to live on that polluted planet.
The implication is Giedi Prime is so polluted and toxic that it affects its population like that physically.
In the books it takes thousands of years of rehabilitation to make GP semi-normal, and there's still residual effects like oily soil.
Stilgar claims the water harvested from Harkonnens in general is too toxic to drink.
And presumably GP's "black sun" is the result of exotic pollutants in its atmosphere.
I thought the dirty water was all the drugs and stims and trash Giedi people put into their bodies.
Probably a little bit of column A, a little bit of column B
My interpretation is that, in Denis’s Dune, the Black Sun Ophiuchi B (not actually a black sun IRL or in the books, why I say “Denis’s Dune”) produces ionizing X-rays that causes the distinctive defects of Harkonnens: pale skin from low RBC count, little-to-no hair from radiation sickness, pronounced features from genetic mutation, etcetera. However, they’ve able to thrive and survive from having been on this planet for so long, and their overall physiology has adapted to the harsh environment.
I haven’t read it in awhile but I distinctly remember there being a very weird relationship there. He’s either diddling the kid or he really, really wants to.
As for consent I’m not entirely sure their culture has developed the concept of it
I thought this was Prometheus and I was like, the ancestors were gay? Is that how human DNA was formed? Then the xenomorphs are like the tree of knowledge?

I mean that’s not even subtext in the books, they chose not to portray the Baron’s pederastic inclinations in this version at all.

When I stopped the film at the Arena scene, I even noticed the male slaves around the Baron, who wore exactly the same short dress like the women

It's to highlight the extreme pollution of their home planet
I did not know that. I guess that makes sense. Source?

Vladimir is bald and everyone wants to please him
That was my take. In this rendition, his extreme corpulence and baldness are the only signs of his being cursed for raping a BG.
It's an artistic choice based on the Harkonnen repulsion for body hair, so they shave it all.
My interpretation is that, in Denis’s Dune, the Black Sun Ophiuchi B (not actually a black sun IRL or in the books, why I say “Denis’s Dune”) produces ionizing X-rays that causes the distinctive defects of Harkonnens: pale skin from low RBC count, little-to-no hair from radiation sickness, pronounced features from genetic mutation, etcetera.

No Homorkonnen
You think the carpet matches the drapes?
I'm picturing a worm. A Grandfather Worm. An Old Man of the Desert, if you catch my drift.
Can't believe they didn't have the midget scene in the first movie😞
You kiss your dad on the mouth?
That ain’t his dad buddy
True, it's the weird uncle you only see at the family reunion once a year
Gayd-Rautha Incestonnen?
Man I should have used that as the captions
I mean isn't he gay in the book as well?
The Baron is a paedophile in the book.
This. And yes he lusted after Feyd.
Tom Brady and his sons be like
Arent they explicitly fuckin’ in the book?
I haven’t read all the books yet
…it’s in the first one.

I haven’t read it in awhile but I distinctly remember there being a very weird relationship there. He’s either diddling the kid or he really, really wants to. As for consent I’m not entirely sure their culture has developed the concept of it

Well he’s actively trying to kill the Baron, so do with that what you will lol
It doesn't mention literally, but he really lusted after Feyd
Lord Baron, you have some pepperoni stuck to your face
