Why are some navigators normal looking while others are so mutated? is there a ranking system? is it a gradual change? are they all mutated but they disguise themselves?

I'm pretty sure the fremen hairstyles were procedurally generated. Just look at this loving guy:  https://lparchive.org/Dune/ for more. Lots more.

I think that's something they added for the movie, IIRC it's different in the books.

"She would, Scytale knew, see Edric as a repellent figure: the bold stare, those monstrous feet and hands moving softly in the gas, the smoky swirling of orange eddies around him. She would wonder about his sex habits, thinking how odd it would be to mate with such a one. Even the field-force generator which recreated for Edric the weightlessness of space would set him apart from her now."

"She stepped away from Edric’s tank, shaking her head in annoyance at the thick odor of melange. Edric took this moment to pop a melange pill into his mouth. He ate the spice and breathed it and, no doubt, drank it, Scytale noted." do u think that Edric gets embarrassed when he farts in front of the Reverend Mother??? sorry if this ofends anyone but i thought it was a funny thing haha. and i would like to know if any of you have any pics of Edric farting an while he looks nervous or embarrassed i just want to see it for a few laughs haha. another thing i am wondering is if you think the farts smell like spice. haha im just curious for laughs haha i would like to smell them

Edric gets even more offputting when you find out what he wears: "The Guild Navigator wore his usual dark leotard bulging at the belt with various containers. Yet . . . he gave the impression of nakedness when he moved. It was the swimming, reaching movements, Scytale decided, and he was struck once more by the delicate linkages of their conspiracy." A hovering fish-man rocking 80s athleisure and tactical fanny packs.

What was Paul's Jihad even about? Forcefully converting people to Zensunni from all the other Islamo-Buddhist/Christo-Hindu faiths? Edit: Is it accurate to say that a Stone Burdner is an enuclear weapon? Liquid Dinosaur fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Apr 23, 2019 |

Liquid Dinosaur posted:What was Paul's Jihad even about? Forcefully converting people to Zensunni from all the other Islamo-Buddhist/Christo-Hindu faiths? Leto II, being part Fremen on the other hand, had the pragmatism that leads to cutting away what isn't good enough - and that let him accept the responsibility that Paul couldn't. Or, and I just had this thought now: Maybe The Golden Path requires a Jihad, which makes sense given how much Leto II describes himself oppressing people, to force The Scattering - and all Paul failed in was accepting the sandworm becoming part of his flesh to lengthen his life such that he could oppress people; it seems to me to be a pretty terrible burden to have to get extremely long life if all you have to look forward to is to oppress every single living being.

D. Ebdrup posted:I don't think it's directly stated, but I always concluded that the Jihad happened because Paul feared The Golden Path and never could go through with the whole thing, because he didn't have enough ruthlessness in him - something a daughter of Jessica bred with Feyd Harkonnon might have been capable of, if we assume that all Kwisats Hadarach would also have seen The Golden Path. The Jihad didn't happen because Paul feared the Golden Path. The second is pretty close. Paul says that he saw what was necessary and could not bring himself to do it. As far as I remember, we don't know what step he faltered it. I feel like there's a few easy ones to point to as possibilities. 1. Paul failed at the very idea of being a tyrant like Leto 2. We see throughout Dune that Paul is worried about the Jihad. 2. Paul couldn't handle the fact that Chani had to die, even if it was the least worst of all outcomes. This blinds Paul's prescience, after all. 3. Paul was unwilling to cover himself in sand trout and become a worm god.

From rereading Dune Messiah recently the impression I got was that a lot of the Jihad was Paul consolidating his power seeing as even by the events of that book he hadn't actually done so yet.

That's the impression I got. Also I think the Fremen set him up as a quasi deity because I am pretty sure there is a cult built around him. I assume the jihad is then ensuring the Imperium obeys and worships Paul.

I think a lot of it was just the Fremen running rampant on his behalf and Paul sitting there knowing that he couldn't reign them in without being overthrown, killed or disobeyed.

Plus they (the BG, Paul, etc) can all feel that humanity at large is waiting for something to happen, as the pattern of life has been stagnant for too long. Then Paul overthrows the dynasty and army that have been in power for ten thousand years. Widespread conflict is expected, and Paul does his best to direct or at least surf the wave instead of getting smashed by it.

Also, Paul's there to shake up the existing structures. Leto says later that if things hadn't unfolded as they did, humanity would have stagnated and gone extinct. Hard to believe it could happen in just a few thousand years, but then there was also a lot of trade and stuff so if that broke down you'd have chaos.
