* AdaptationalWimp: The Fremen from the books were more far-reaching than a mere desert tribe, having secret deals with the Spacing Guild to keep secret their true numbers from the satellites' view, while in the film they seem to have no contacts outside the planets and instead trust on natural climatic conditions to hide their lands. The literary Fremen were also a force more unified, coordinated and quick to organize than in the movies, where their division between moderates and fundamentalists means Jessica and Paul have to work much harder on their Messianic campaign to get all the Fremen to back them (although the film's compressed timeline also means they ultimately do it faster than in the books).

* AdaptationalDumbass: Downplayed. This Stilgar is certainly competent and perhaps more composed, but he comes across as less savvy and much less of a leader than his novel counterpart. Where the novels depicted Stilgar as a charismatic and somewhat serious naib with a sense of humor, here he's a BunnyEarsLawyer regarded as an oddball and even a bit of a laughingstock by his own tribe. Notably, he seems to attract little actual authority regardless of his rank, especially given that even teenagers like Chani and Shishakli feel comfortable getting on his face and screaming to him in public without obeying any of his calls to order, while in the novel he had clear unquestioned authority and sometimes annoyed Chani herself by ordering her around rudely.
