In my head, all the Txleui all look like the Leprechaun villain from the 1990s horror series "Leprechaun"

SUSPENSORS, it said on the next door. “Oh, those are fabulous!” cried Mr Harkonnen. “They fit you with suspensors, and the suspensors are full of a special kind of science, and this science is so terrifically lifting that it lifts you right off the ground just like a balloon, and up you go until your head hits the ceiling – and there you stay.” “But how do you come down again?” asked little Feyd. “You have a meal, of course,” said Mr Harkonnen. “You have a great big long rude meal, and up comes your weight and down comes you! But don’t try them outdoors! There’s no knowing how high up you’ll be carried if you do that. I gave some to an old Mentat once out in the back yard and he went up and up and disappeared out of sight! It was very sad. I never saw him again.” “He should have eaten,” Feyd said. “Of course he should have eaten,” said Mr Harkonnen. “I stood there shouting ‘Eat, you silly rear end, eat, or you’ll never come down again!’ But he didn’t or couldn’t or wouldn’t, I don’t know which. Maybe he was too frightened, like a rabbit. He must be on the moon by now.”

I was never sure if he actually needed them or if he was just a fancy man about town who liked to have a spring in his step.

The book gives his weight at "two hundred standard kilos" which is ~440 lbs. The suspensors make it so he only carries 50 kilos himself - the weight of a somewhat small and thin man. He'd still have the inertia of a chungus though, and like astronauts on the Moon, he should sort of glide around in slow motion, being careful not to get going too fast. It doesn't look like it's the case in that clip but I was thinking a potentially cool way to reveal the susupensors would be for him to make some angry gesture (maybe stand up quickly?) and since he weighs so little have the action propel him up off the ground and in to a super slow descent. That'd be menacing and creepy instead of goofy.

The Baron is probably meant to be goofy, he's basically the primary comic relief of the first book.

No I think it's serious, and I agree. The Baron is a great comic relief villain because he's constantly making his own life harder through his absurd levels of treachery and paranoia. Obviously he's doing insanely evil stuff but it's fun to watch him constantly having meltdowns at his henchmen and stuff, and then he gets taken out by a literal toddler lmao

I don't know if it's exactly comedic, but there's definitely a cartoonish quality to his over-the-top villainy that makes him hard to take completely seriously. I know the book says he intentionally cultivates that image to some degree to put people off their guard, but the entire planet is just "ludicrously evil world".

Yeah, he's possibly the weakest villain in the series. Just unfathomable and unapproachable, ludicrously over the top. He might be the weakest part of the book; Feyd and Piter both feel more menacing. (Although the narration constantly describing Piter as "mincing" and "effeminate" is up there. Herbert's gender essentialism could get uncomfortable.) I feel like he was better when he was more subdued, like the scene where he's talking with the Fenrings. Prolonged Priapism posted:Japanese teaser trailer. I don't think we've seen any of the ornis flying before? I like the dragonfly design.

Like, the conspirators in Messiah are in a narrative sense the bad guys, but when you realize what the effect of the Jihad was, suddenly you realize they are in the right.

It's cool in the Meet the Fenrings scene how the Baron owns an entire planet, but still cheaps out on architecture by using perspective tricks to make buildings look a bit bigger.
