Aww man. I have to see the new blade runner at some point. Bet it looks awesome on the big screen

Sort of sad that was a box office bomb but the movie rocked especially how it captured the visual design of the original movie.

I actually prefer the Baron from the SciFi miniseries anyway.

That actor owned and was closer to what I saw the book character as being especially dunking on feyd for his constant incompetence.

Book baron is displacing some lust for feyd and wants him to succeed despite feyd being a huge loving dullard because the alternative is goddamn Raban

He's basically space Tywin lannister especially having to constantly face palm due to having to control some many incompetent minions.

The best part about it, other than possibly McAvoy, was that they kept the actor for the Baron in Alia's head from the first miniseries. Any new version of Dune is going to suffer without that guy imo.

The actor for the baron was really great.

Yeah the great thing about Dune and its ultimate thesis is that no matter how much of a good guy you might be, being at the head of an expansive civilization turns you into a monster.

And yes i'd like one of those gang tats. the witches one is hysterical.

Yeah it's a pretty clever twist on the standard cheesy Chosen One plot from the first book.

Also how it sort of sucks being that high up the totem pole since it just make Paul a target for all the various disgruntled factions.

It's been a while but I'm pretty sure that as early as the second book it's made abundantly and totally clear that Paul and the Fremen have become monsters on a previously unimaginable scale, spreading death and suffering beyond comparison to anything that came before. I think this is why Paul becomes a raving street preacher and why his kids and up doing what they do.

It's also a pretty good twist on the chosen one cliche, Paul ends up creating a more oppressive destructive regime than the one he replaced.

i don't remember if the abortion angle made it into the BH/KJA book, but i remember trying to read it and in the beginning, OMICRON-5000 or whatever literally dangled a baby from his palace balcony and then dropped it with the baby landing with a SPLAT.

cue me groaning really loudly and closing the book.

OMICRON-5000 was just being ecologically conscious

Unpopular opinion: Even the original Dune isn't all that great and hasn't aged well and is basically just a product of the drug fueled hippy times in the 60s. A future with no computers where people take mind expanding drugs instead is something a hippy would come up with. Feudalism and people being super religious in the future is also kinda dumb. Also Star Wars is a better film adaptation of Dune than the actual Dune movie. Oh and all of the sequels to Dune are terrible and not worth anyones time, and the prequels by his son are even worse. Come at me bro.

The Fremen kept it from them by bribing the poo poo out of the guild to prevent overflights. Fenring's warning is due to the Emperor not wanting the process by which Saurdaukar are reproduced to be analyzed and duplicated.

Yeah they paid off the Guild in spice to not track them with the spy satellite system.

Which meant the real population and also military capability were underestimated by the Emperor

Welp, I just got to the part in Heretics where Duncan Idaho defeats an Honored Matres in a sex duel because he was secretly programmed by the Bene Tleilax to be a stealth sex weapon.

Honored Matres sounds like something that would be a porn movie.

Women who ravish and control men with their secret sexual superpowers.

Emperor of Dune is about convincing a clone to have sexy time in order to save the human race.
