It's a weird detail, isn't it. The Fremen know the desert, and respect it, and find it beautiful (sometimes) but also kinda hate it and want it gone and replaced with a green paradise where a man need never again utter the phrase "urine and feces are processed in the thigh pads."
I want to see those Harkonnen environmentalist ads.

Are you another of these desert-loving Englishman?

No Arab loves the desert - we love water and green trees. There is nothing in the desert!

No man needs nothing.

Also in the books IIRC the Fremen aren't from Arrakis, they were a persecuted minority driven there a long time ago.

Yeah I phrased that badly, they're ultimately all from Earth, but the Fremen didn't choose to colonize Arrakis because it seemed like a rad place, but because they were driven from everyplace else (I think).

yeah that's fair, you're right. I mean, no one would choose Arrakis otherwise lol

You'd be wrong; God chose Arrakis to test the faithful. :colbert:

Anyway, this is the kind of bullshit you should have in mind when considering the Fremen's idealized geoengineering.

Incredible stuff. Sure the coastlines of southern Europe will become vast salty malarial swamps and all their harbors will be useless, but, think of the (salty, malarial) land we'll gain!

So how many more movies of this are they gonna make, anyway? Messiah is apparently already in development. I've heard there's three more books that people like, then two that kinda don't go anywhere cause Frank Herbert died before he could finish the storyline, then his kid turned it into fuckin' nonsense.
