Burns posted:The better question is why was House Harkonnen allowed to have their own homeworld and also Arrakis while the Atredies were forced to leave their homeworld Caliban(Karridan??). House Harkonnen just ran Arrakis basically, while Leto was being given Arrakis. That is why they went knowingly into the trap because it was basically the Emperor jangling the keys to the car and going "All yours!"

and to head off the potential next question, leto knew it was a trap but deliberately decided to spring it anyway, banking on leveraging the fremen against the harks and not counting on the emperor to risk deploying his own troops

Leto can really drat close to it too, arguably a matter of months, maybe weeks, from turning the Freman from potential enemies into loyal allies. It took like three different "this has never happened before/this is totally unexpected" things to pull it off and it still ended (in the short term) with a massive disaster for the invaders and in the long run with Paul on the throne anyway.

Only this way without the possibility of a Fremen army to come to the rescue.

Kinda funny that Dune still stands out in sci-fi as not only prominently featuring influence from non-western cultures, but taking it seriously and featuring it prominently rather than a wacky sideshow.

I have thought about the movie alot more and I think the lack of a time skip and shoving everything into a 6 month span of time ruined the movie for me personally, it just becomes a stretch for the characters motivations imo. I think Denis failed creatively with Alia, and the death of Paul’s first son is what makes it believable for me that he goes gently caress it burn it all down. So the removal of all of that just kind of took me out of the movie. This is my opinion and I recognize the movie is amazing in many other ways and if it gets more people to read the book then that’s cool too.
