I just saw the first movie with a friend and the thought went through my mind. I’m not really sure what something being derivative means, so I looked it up and apparently it’s more subjective than I realized.

What are your thoughts?

    That makes sense. Dune itself had derivative elements, and since it was written many other works have lifted ideas from Dune.

    Similar to music from the 60s and other eras.

    I know I have my favorite versions of different works, and most often it’s difficult to keep in mind that no art is definitely right or wrong. It’s very hard to create something truly original.
