I'm upset that the Hobbits in Jackson's movies weren't 10 foot tall since I saw some fan art depicting this.

Any criticism of look should be compared against the original source material, not some other adaptation.

It depends IMO... sometimes adaptions become bigger than the source material... so much so that they become their own thing. I read GRRM's A Song of Ice and Fire in 2004... then HBO happened... IMO the TV show has transcended the books for better or worse... Peter Dinklage's Tyrion is pretty much the default Tyrion now instead of Book Tyrion who is way uglier and slightly different in the books.

Look at Wolverine too... we have both Hugh Jackman Wolverine and short and gruff comic Wolverine... both relevant enough to have their own version of action figures... and both versions of toys equally popular.

It is what it is.

Dune though... IMO the thing with Denis Villeneuve is he likes to work with the hottest actors at the time for all his movies... Jake Gyllenhaal, Jeremy Renner, Ryan Gosling, etc... and Timothee Chalamet is the hot actor right now... for better or worse.

Also I loved Syfy's Children of Dune... such an amazing musical score and James McAvoy was amazing too.
