Plots within plots? Check

Not sure how nanomachines or raiden would fare in a post-butlerian jihad universe though.

Seriously. Most of the artwork (fanart, I hope) surrounding the Butlerian Jihad looks laughable, like something out of a Bionicle story.


The YouTube channel 'Ideas of Ice & Fire' at least tends to pick some really tasteful fanart to accompany their narration, but then again most of it isn't even from Dune - I was watching one of their videos on the history of space travel in the series, and the first picture was clearly from BSG. It was the Colonial One.

He would really make people think about the connections between environment-behavior-religion, history, and all that jazz. Plus, Jamis and Feyd-Rautha could be merged into the same boss fight 'cause of time stuffs.

Ideas of ice and fire is great but i wish the pool of dune artwork was bigger and better because when he starts using the concept art from Lynch's Dune and some of the edge cases on fan art it just seems like yikes was that the best he could find? I like his videos especially his insights and coverage but daaang the images he shows can be really bad

I hope it doesn't so the movie can end with Paul and Jessica walking off into the desert while the ghost of Liet Keynes monologues about messiah's being a failure state for a nation.

Nah, I think they meant the scene from the original book with Feyd in the Harkonnen arena against some random Atriedes dude who is supposed to be drugged to be recklessly aggressive, but isn't.

Specifically, the atreides soldier was one of the ones that compared to the sardukar and were the reason the Emperor sided with the Harkonnen. The Baron, who didn't realize they existed, was oblivious of the threat he posed, and Hawat would definitely have known how to covertly communicate with him.

Hawat sat on that chip for a while, and cashed it in a win-win situation. Either a Harkonnen dies or he infiltrates the Baron's power structure.

The miniseries actress for Chani has that syndrome that they talk about on Seinfeld where somebody looks hot in very specific light and not in every other kind of light.

I started putting cinnamon in my coffee for the hell of it. Then I put in too much and now I have heartburn, which I assume is the first stage of my mutation into a navigator.

Is the turning into a reptilian thing really just from spice exposure? We see lots of people do a fuckload of spice, and the most that happens to them is they become a worm-person and that isn’t even because of the spice they did.

Like, wouldn’t there be talk of elder Fremen and Reverend Mothers looking kind of like ayy lmao aliens?

At the very least, Paolo would turn into a navigator after doing Lord Cybertrex’s super spice, right?

I mean, tne navigators don't just eat it, the literally live in it. Besides, I thought only particular people could become navigators, even with the mega spice exposure.

Yeah the Navigators like live in a big tank of spice gas, and there may be other stuff going on. The main thing with the spice is that it is good for you but then if you stop taking it you croak. So basically you have to eat wealth to merely survive, just like ((insert your favorite here))
