Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title mentions 'Dune: Part Two' but it does not mention that this is a sequel to an existing movie. The author also fails to disclose any sources or quotes from them which are used in the article.
The title of the article implies that Dune 2 is a new film, when in fact it is actually a sequel.
Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that the movie is based on a novel that has won numerous accolades including the Hugo Award. This implies that the source material must be trustworthy and reliable, but this does not necessarily mean that everything in the movie will also be accurate or true. Additionally, there are several examples of dichotomous depictions throughout the article. For example, when describing Zendaya's appearance on the red carpet, it is stated that she drew audible gasps from the crowd and was wearing a stunning metallic suit. This creates an extreme contrast between her previous appearances and this one, implying that she has undergone some sort of transformation or change. Finally, there are several examples of inflammatory rhetoric used to describe the movie's release date being pushed back due to strikes in Hollywood. The author uses phrases such as
The long-awaited sequel was originally set to premiere last autumn.
Zendaya drew audible gasps from the crowd when she finally appeared wearing a stunning metallic suit.
Bias
(85%)
The article contains examples of religious bias and monetary bias. The author uses language that dehumanizes those who hold different beliefs than themselves by referring to them as 'white supremacists' online celebrating the reference to a racist conspiracy theory.
