Paul uses his prescience to look into the place that the Bene Gesserit dare not look, sees the timeline where he helps Chani carry her literjons of water for 25 thumpers without so much as a hug for a thank you.

That's a good point. The book is very big on the idea that men and women are fundamentally different beings who percieve & interact with the mysteries of the universe in very different ways. I wonder, wIll the movie view this gender stuff critically, or play it straight, or gloss over it, or what? The Kwisatz Haderach concept doesn't really *fit* with a lot of current attitudes towards gender fluidity...

While you were spilling water, I studied the crysknife. When you were having premarital love play, I mastered the weirding way. While you wasted your days at the arena in pursuit of vanity, I turned the inner eye. And now that Arrakeen is on fire and the Sardaukar are at the shield wall, you have the audacity to come to me for help?

How exactly did they free and acquire Gurney and Duncan? Are missions to go to another House’s planet to steal their slaves sanctioned by the Guild? Its odd they sanctioned sending a force to blow up spice warehouses on Geidi Prime too. You’d think that wouldn’t fall within the boundaries of the War of Assassins, especially since they were hurting spice.

I mean, the guild will transport whatever you ask it to, provided you pay their exorbitant military fees. Baron even brings up how transporting the sardaukar ends up costing him nearly the entire profits of their decades long fiefdom in Arrakis. The Atreides strike affects the Harkonnen's stash of personal spice, not really the spice market itself. CHOAM and the guild wouldn't really give a poo poo if one individual house is poo poo out of luck, it's only because Paul threatens the entirety of spice production later that the bean counters sit up and listen.

Ok so why didn’t the Harkonnen retaliate by going to Caladan and heart-plugging some random rice farmers?

Joke Miriam posted:Ok so why didn’t the Harkonnen retaliate by going to Caladan and heart-plugging some random rice farmers? No reason why they can't. Escalating tit-for-tat raids are probably part of what provoked the declaration of kanly. The limitation is that it has to be worth it in terms of what you're paying for guild transport. (We can assume your outlay for military personnel and equipment is minimal by comparison.) House Atreides basing so much of its internal foundation on loyalty is a trap of sorts. House Harkonnen kidnaps a bunch of workers on a reprisal raid, and they grab the cousin of the guy who once saved the life of the Duke's battle pug? Sigh, OK, Paul, call the Guild, we need to book passage for 100 scouts to Giedi Prime to find this guy. We'll figure out what type and how many assets for the raid when we find out where he's being held.

The Kwisatz Haderach concept doesn't really *fit* with a lot of current attitudes towards gender fluidity... I mean sure Herbert Was Bad. The "area women dare not look" is also because women (sex vs. gender in the modern debate lol) have the possibility to give birth to prescient babies and (at least in the first book, arguably retconned in different ways in later books) it's supposed to be really hard to make prescience work when multiple presciences are at play in the same zone. Like Paul gets blinded by people selling tarot cards in the market, two pages before he develops Perfect Prescience Vision by being blinded. So uh. Shrug? Nothing really makes sense in Dune so he could have found a way around this, but there are in-universe reasons why men and women might experience prescience differently, and they're pretty central to how he viewed some of the Big Themes.

By looking into the place forbidden to men, Paul understood the secret to washing he own rear end in a top hat. By understanding both halves, he became the Kwizarse Haderach, the Shortening of the Wipe, and became unstoppable.

Not sure if this is actually old news to this thread (which tends to stay on top of casting announcements) but Sharon Duncan-Brewster is apparently confirmed as our Liet-Kynes in the 2020 film. If it is news, it's strange timing, considering Max Von Sydow's death.
