I would love to see the scene where huge groups are able to hop onto the worm at one time, especially the reverend mother and her little basket carrier
They get into a line in the path of the mounted worm and climb up with hooks as it passes near. As for the reverend mother, her crib is probably harnessed to multiple people and gets launched with them, but that would be epic to see for sure.
I mean weren't the sandworms hostile to anyone? They don't really care about if someone got on them but they don't ever stop. I am not sure what Denis is talking about but in the books we never see anyone stop a sand worm (at least from what I know). I have only read book 1 but (also from what I remember) Lady Jessica is never carried to the south using some basket carrier because she's not even the reverend mother. Denis changed a lot compared to the book.
Which makes me wonder when they gathered multiple worms. Surely they didn't just find a nest of them since they would battle each other to the death. Or how they travelled to the South on the Worm. That is a long distance. How do they keep the worm going or from fighting each other as they gather additional worms to ride? So many questions.
@@Keys879 As far as I understand it (and I only have the movies to go by, as I yet have to read the novels), the rider keeps these ventilation shafts open with their hooks preventing the worm from diving below the sand. In the same way they can stear the worm to some extent, as they can prevent them from barrel-rolling (which they would probably do when trying to go in a curve, as they are rotational symmetric and thus could minimize torsion that way). So I suspect that the worms were aware of those other worms around them, but they simply couldn't attack each other as the riders didn't let them. How they prevented them from fighting once the riders got off? I dunno. Maybe they didn't prevent them? I mean, it's not like they are their pets or something. And there's certainly no shortage of these tubular terrors on Arrakis. So, screw it, let them fight if they deem it an appropriate pursuit.
In the books it’s said that they pretty much have to run the worms to exhaustion so they don’t want to fight when they finally get off. This means you have both a minimum and maximum distance for a worm ride, or else either the worm or the desert will get ya
That works for regular travel, but I was wondering what they did when attacking the city with multiple worms. They had to dismount there and can’t wait for the worms to get tired. I assume the driver/pilot stays on the worm and everyone else can just abseil or jump off of it and then the driver takes them back into the desert?
In the book its described that they move the hooks to the side and slowly roll the worm until they can jump off safely. Still a little fuzzy how they clear enough space to avoid the suck zone surrounding the worms path though.
@@benjaminbrekken I think the worms slow down, we just didn't see it happen and all we saw was a huge locomotive that won't stop for anything. The worm stopped in Part 1 at the rocks chasing Jessica and Paul, so they can stop
remember that scene in the Phantom Menace where the podracers would blow up and their engines would smash into the sand and roll 50 times before coming to a stop some 300 metres from where they started? I'd imagine it's like that
They don't, once they're on it they just tag along the worm's life until the end. It's the life they've chosen. A life of aimless wander, endless danger, and looking damn cool.
I hope we have finally reached the age of studios saying "maybe if we let the person with a vision make a film, it will be better than if we butcher it with investor notes". Will be interesting to see what they do in the 3rd film, given the atrocities Paul is gonna let happen
Sit on a sand dune, ensure the worm travels under you using the thumpers, jump on top and hold on for life. Paul tries this in the movie but almost missed the worm, hence having to run
I imagine the rider goes solo and then pulls around to get the rest. But still, doesn't explain how they would get on and off or how to slow down the worm. I don't see Jessica running full speed and jumping onto a worm lol
But most importantly, how did they get Jessica and all that people on a sandworm to get to the southern regions of Arrakis? Did the sandworm stop and wait for them to mount the tent and let all the people on it? 😂
Any person can just jump on, just as the first person did, except now the worm is controlled and more predictable. But still can't imagine the tent mounting xd.
Every fremen learns to ride a worm, it's part of the rite of passage of becoming an adult. For those who are injured, late in pregnancy, etc., the palanquin is hoisted up, though I'm sure it's not the smoothest of ride up to the top of the worm. Everyone else climbs the worm using the hooks, whether getting on or off...it's mentioned in the book.

Instructions unclear, I am now part worm, part human, part god who can transcend space and time, see all possible futures, and beholden to the golden path where I live for thousands and thousands of years, tormented by skin by which is not my own.
A worm will eventually stop when it's tired, but if you want to get off before that time, then I imagine you would have to manipulate the ring segments: Grab one side of the worm with one hook. That will cause the worm to roll upward to get the exposed segment free of the sand. From there you can lower yourself off the worm using the other hook after deatching the first hook, but you'll need to be careful if it's still in motion.
@@benjaminbrekken Perhaps they just repeat this process, with groups of like 5 people leaving at a time at diffirent positions along the worm, everyone else hangs on tightly, rider leaves last? Or they just never get off until the worm stops by itself. Apparently it takes 20 worms to get to the south, so a single worm might always get tired before they get anywhere
@@moldman5694They’re already basically using the principles of waterskiing, I don’t see why a parachute wouldn’t work for individual Fremen! Luggage is harder, but given the luggage is generally used on longer trips they might just unload it when the worms tucker out.

Fremen are enormously rich, and happily trade with smugglers or the guild for anything they need. They have as much spice as they can be bothered harvesting.
In the first part is mention that the fremen know how to sow and Paul sees plants at distant and says there must be fremen there. The meat must be from insects, small animals or outworld since i think worms are silicon
The film did not show this but in the book they have massive agriculture and industry in their sietches. Their technology is on par if not more advanced than the average house in the Imperium. In the book the south pole of the planet is also a somewhat terraformed place where they are slowly pushing the desert back. They are able to get away with all this since they bribe the Guild (the faction that controls the interstellar space travel, using those massive sausage ships) with spice to not allow the use of any satellites over the planet (while flying their own satellites).

I love the idea that trains don't stop at stations, you just jump to and from the platform. There's a kind of elevator like that called a Paternoster; those are however appreciably slower than either a train or a Worm.

In the books the worms get tired eventually. As soon as nothing is holding their scales up they dive deep down under the sand to sulk and rest. People just tire them out, but I guess that wouldn’t work if you weren’t going far enough on your journey
Frank Herbert explains that riding a worm and holding the scales open is actually pretty hard on the worm. He then explains that worms are ridden until they are basically exhausted to the point where they dont move anymore. Whether they climb off the worm, and the worm just sits there exhausted, or if the worm just sinks beneath the sand is never explained. Distance is measured by how many worms you have to ride. So to reach a remote sietch it could be 20 worm rides to get there.
1: Some sort of Fremen structure with a bungy rope, you drive the worm under the rope, hook yourself and it pulls you off the worm 2: The worm submeges into the earth in a way where everyone slides off the worm (rather than going under with the worm)

Saw how hard it was for Lisan Al Gaib to get on one and then a few scenes after we got a whole village riding on it even with a business class pod for reverend mother. How did they get on? Lol
My question isn’t how they get off but how do they get so many people on them . How did they get Paul’s pregnant mother on there when they headed south?

Sand worm just descends into the sand and you combat roll onto your feet as the ground comes up to meet you. Source: haven’t read the books or seen the movies but this was in my recommended.
In Children of Dune Paul's son rides a worm until it gets tired, stops, and burrows its "head" in the sand. The narrator states that is a sure sign of it being ridden too long - so I'd venture to say they just jump off, maybe use a sand compactor to get out of any sand they might get buried under as a result.

Worm riders could probably use a sort of drogue parachute / wing glider combo to simply glide up into the air and then land gently after the worm has moved on. Would look cool too.

I'm pretty sure that weren't all northerners on that 3 worms, just that tribe where Paul and Jessica were. Other northerners use more worms around the planet.
@@JarrydTIme There are hundreds of thousands of them. Everyone went ahead, and Paul is his group is bringing up the rear and ready to fight to give time for the others to leave. Hundreds of worms would've made the trip back and forth multiple times. In the books, this takes months and months. The movie had to shorten it ofc.
My idea, you let off the hooks a little bit and the worm dives into the sand, and then you just start walking, simple. The worm would be too tired or irritated to go back up to the surface so you can easily just walk away.
Denis thinking: "Yes, now I got 3 more years to think up how to get off the sandworm"

Frank Herbert explains that riding a worm and holding the scales open is actually pretty hard on the worm. He then explains that worms are ridden until they are basically exhausted to the point where they dont move anymore. Whether they climb off the worm, and the worm just sits there exhausted, or if the worm just sinks beneath the sand is never explained. Distance is measured by how many worms you have to ride. So to reach a remote sietch it could be 20 worm rides to get there.
You get it off with a really big hand.
Now THATS what I call a cliff hanger!
Aim for a tall dune, and last moment take a sharp turn. You will be thrown out and land on a cushy sand.
Getting off a giant worm will be "beautiful", you heard it here first 🤣
1: Some sort of Fremen structure with a bungy rope, you drive the worm under the rope, hook yourself and it pulls you off the worm
2: The worm submeges into the earth in a way where everyone slides off the worm (rather than going under with the worm)
You have it, go under the sand until you are standing on sand and no longer a worm.
In the books they wait for the worm to get tired. If you really needed to stop, you could always just deploy a kite
I want to also know how do they put luggage and Reverend Mother palankeen on it!
it was onscreen text, "palanquin"
Every fremen learns to ride a worm, it's part of the rite of passage of becoming an adult. For those who are injured, late in pregnancy, etc., the palanquin is hoisted up, though I'm sure it's not the smoothest of ride up to the top of the worm. Everyone else climbs the worm using the hooks, whether getting on or off...it's mentioned in the book.
@@rikk319 the question is more about getting multiple people onto the same one. How is that coordinated?
Paul: How do I stop this thing?
Arthur Morgan: "You're alright, boah".
finally someone is asking the real questions
You don't have to get off the sandworm, ITS A MOVIE
My question is how the hell did they get Paul’s pregnant mother onto one of those things
The real question is how you get a sandworm off.
Saw how hard it was for Lisan Al Gaib to get on one and then a few scenes after we got a whole village riding on it even with a business class pod for reverend mother. How did they get on? Lol
It's going to be butterfly winged parachutes isn't it...
According to the books, they just get tired and you step off lol
My question isn’t how they get off but how do they get so many people on them . How did they get Paul’s pregnant mother on there when they headed south?
are sandworms like trains or like busses

The thumbnail looks something other than sandworm, man...
I imagine you do an Olympic balance beam style dismount.
Sand worm just descends into the sand and you combat roll onto your feet as the ground comes up to meet you.
Source: haven’t read the books or seen the movies but this was in my recommended.
I love that man.
3/4 through the book, sounds like they wait until worm is exhausted and call another until they get to destination...
It’s actually written in the books how the sand works get tired and stop on their own accord
In Children of Dune Paul's son rides a worm until it gets tired, stops, and burrows its "head" in the sand. The narrator states that is a sure sign of it being ridden too long - so I'd venture to say they just jump off, maybe use a sand compactor to get out of any sand they might get buried under as a result.
Sandworms can be stopped completely. I just assumed they throw down a ladder when stationary to get the rest up
Use a wingsuit to gain elevation and divert your path.
Hell how they get the reverned mother on with her basket.

If they followed the book it kind of explains it.
Just yell “Rusty?! Rusty!!” And hop off
Worm riders could probably use a sort of drogue parachute / wing glider combo to simply glide up into the air and then land gently after the worm has moved on. Would look cool too.
thats what i first thought. could also be a cool way to close with low-flying craft and board em
This sounds like the most plausible idea

Probably gliders or something, just use the energy of going 100mph or whatever it is
I suppose jumping is an option, not a good one but it's there.
I asked my boy the same question, how the hell does he get off. We guessed a tuck and roll situation.

While watching this in the cinema, a friend asked me the same, "how do you get off a sandworm?"
My reply: "Carefully."
What a tease
*Instructions unclear:* Now, I am become death the destroyer of worlds
"Cool, cool... so how do you get off the sandworm?"

How do you get a witch in a basket onto the worm?
I mean this with all due respect to DV: that was the most French Trumpian way to stall for time on an answer he damn well doesn't have in his head at the moment 😂
"It's a beautiful way, I hope you can see it one day because it's beautiful how they get off the sandwerm. Yes, did you know they could get off the sandwerm? I definitely knew. Of course it's gonna be the biggest beautiful on record..."
TDS is real
I severely misread the title
They could easily deploy a parachute or something similar.
How do you even steer/force the sandworm to go where you want to!? Paul just rode it like a surf wave and just went where it went!
I always wondered about that… like the Pt 2 scene when Lady Jessica is riding a worm along with a bunch of Fremen 🤔

Wait, is he gonna keep going? If he can make it to book six that would be insanity. I fully expected him to stop now that he’s finished book 1, it was already such an ambitious project.
Obviously you wait for it to reach the next station.
Le dices al gusano "en la parada, por favor. Gracias". Muy importante las gracias, porque si no, no paran.
I was also thinking how they got all the northerners on those 3 worms lol
I'm pretty sure that weren't all northerners on that 3 worms, just that tribe where Paul and Jessica were.
Other northerners use more worms around the planet.
@@ExtremeMadnessX oh I just thought they were all massacred except for them
@@JarrydTIme There are hundreds of thousands of them. Everyone went ahead, and Paul is his group is bringing up the rear and ready to fight to give time for the others to leave. Hundreds of worms would've made the trip back and forth multiple times. In the books, this takes months and months. The movie had to shorten it ofc.
My idea, you let off the hooks a little bit and the worm dives into the sand, and then you just start walking, simple. The worm would be too tired or irritated to go back up to the surface so you can easily just walk away.
