Leonardo DiCaprio advice Timothy Chalemet was "No hard drugs and no superhero movies."
- Dune isn't a super hero film. It's a space opera based on a series of Novels.
  Super Hero films are typically based on comic book stories from the likes of Marvel / DC / Dark Horse.

  Dune as a 1980's action cartoon

  That's just sci-fi, not super hero like Marvel/DC.
  
  I think the threshold may be: adapted from comic book equals hero movie; adapted from novel equals sci fi.

  No confusion at all. Frank Herbert wrote Paul as a superhero white savior. It's the point of the entire story. I think people are thinking that I am criticizing the movie or his acting. But I'm only commenting on the fact that he was told not to do a superhero movie and then played a superhero in a story.
