Sandworms: Lynch vs Villenueve vs Yataines

The most iconic thing to come out of the Dune series is probably the sandworm.

Based on the three live action designs of the sandworm, In Lynch’s Dune 1984

Yataine’s in the children of Dune miniseries, the Dune series doesn’t really count because you don’t see it that much.

And the 2021 Dune film by Villenueve 

which do you think is best?

I really liked the updated look for the Sandworms from Villenueve's Dune. The original is iconic, though even though I get Tremors vibes every time I see it. Villenueve's looks more unique, in my opinion.

I agree, to me it looks like a filter feeder, which works with the spice cycle. 

Xenotaris

I like Lynch's version, its closer to canon

Yeah those sandworms are based on these series of covers, which Herbert described as being what he envisioned when writing the book.

But I personally love the new one. It looks prehistoric and the mouth with all the baleen teeth looks like an eye. Like the eye of Shai Hulud watching you
