Exploration is ill-advised.
I may have mentioned, but when reading Dune I couldn't help but picture Baron Harkonnen as Dr Weird from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

edited to add actual content: One thing I always thought was interesting was that Teg was 296 without the spice so clearly, the breeding program was a major success in several ways following Leto II. That and probably medicine and other things and whathaveyou.

I realized this morning that Duke Leto is a superb example of a human, as per Reverend Mother Mohiam's definition:

quote:

A human would remain in the trap, endure the pain, feigning death that he might kill the trapper and remove a threat to his kind.

Duke Leto, knowing that the Lady Jessica was loyal to him beyond all others, yet faced with a rumor of her betrayal... endured the pain of deceiving her into believing that he believed it, endured the agony that her pain caused him, that he might ensnare the source of the rumor and thereby remove a threat to his beloved concubine. Human. The gom jabbar at his neck was sharper than most.

I'm reading the first one again and I absolutely love the way he describes landscapes and the motion of natural forces. Just got done with the part where they crash their second ornithopter and have to retrieve their pack from the sand. I swear, I reread the book and find a new word every time. This time it was "burnoose".

Same about Leto II. Becoming a giant worm snd possibly remaining half concious among worm bodies for eternity is a hell of a trap

Which is kind of funny, when you think about it. Paul, the first person we ever see subjected to the gom jabar, ultimately fails the test by refusing to stay in the trap.

Do the bad Brian books have the clones of Alia and Feyd gently caress? Because their kid was going to be the real Kumquat Hagendaaz.

Their gholas gently caress and have a kid who's pre-born and grows to an adult in like a year. But his super intelligence causes him to see fighting the machines is futile so he ends up siding with them and has to be killed by a Teg clone who's alerted to the treachery by a message from his future self.

I made that up but it's so stupid that it's exactly the kind of crap KJA/@duneauthor would pull so you all bought it for a second. Even those of you that actually read the books thought "wait... did that happen?"

Dear Denis-

I was thinking for your movie you could introduce a totally new character into the setting. His name is Bryon Hirbirt and he's totally rad. He's Paul's best bud, but Paul isn't Bryon's best bud cuz Bryon is too cool for that poo poo. He does everything Paul does except better. When Paul drinks the Water of Life Bryon is there watching and he's like "Pfff, watch this!" and then he mainlines ultraspice. This gives him better versions of all of Paul's powers and makes his peener enlengthen (this is a word, I am a writer). In the climactic battle between Paul and Feyd at the end, Paul is about to get beaten before Bryon swings in and roundhouse kicks Feyd IN HIS BALLS.

As much as I wish I could take credit for this amazing character, I actually found the description of him in my father's notes. It was included in a draft manuscript titled "The Version of Dune I Wish I'd Written - There's Robots!"

Vlad Harkonnen running for president while his two inept adult sons Rabban and Feyd stumble through attempts to get help from the Corrinos to subvert the elections, and his hot daughter Jessica has to constantly talk him out of horrid twitter tirades.

Of course it’s terrible. My only thought while writing this was "how could I turn a dune sequel into a scene from a marvel movie and also I’m a big pasty idiot retard" and it wrote itself! i am a big pasty retard
