Yeah, I mean that's the whole thing about calling them witches, because weird poo poo happens when they are around but you can never verify or tease it out, and so everyone becomes superstitious about the BG, which is an additional level of smoke screen.

Well you don't want to advertise how you have weapons of mass seduction running around you house.

yeah, my impression was that Bene Gesserit are basically renaissance (wo)men who are highly trained in multiple disciplines including combat (and loving). they just don't reveal that to the normies to keep up appearances. if regular folks knew exactly what the BG really are they would probably flip their poo poo.

Why don't you perform zazen, facing a wall?
The BGs exercise power by being married to everyone important. They constantly manipulate the nobility to serve their own really weird plan for galactic domination. Obviously they need to keep under wraps that they’re doing that or the Landsraad would combine to wipe them out...or just stop marrying them. As far as everyone knows they’re just the proprietors of the elite finishing schools for girls.

I am purely talking about in-universe reasons. Before Muad'dib rose to power, not many knew about BG abilities, some knew about voice, but stuff like their fighting ability (weirding way) were only legends. Not even the Duke knew.

This all falls apart if Jessica is literally Leto's bodyguard. If they have a scene where Jessica can covertly deal with a threat to Leto that would be ok


If this is the biggest deviation from the book I wouldn't care at all.
