The first Dune game was hard as balls to win, too. You could easily paint yourself into a corner and make the game unwinnable looooong before you realised where and how you hosed up.

Is this bad and wrong?

Messiah had a smaller scope and the world was already established. It fits easily into a box.

Not gonna lie, I'm up for seeing a story translated to the silver screen where there's a super potent mutant future human who gets dunked on constantly for being a dumbass.

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.

Also, the wiki says that he is presumed to be Egyptian/Babylonian because he ruled for "three thousand of our years". That doesn't give us much to go on because we don't know how the human race at that point measures years. Certainly not Solar years.

His DYNASTY ruled for 3000 years, which yeah, never happened in either Babylon or Egypt, but it's not the dude himself.

Holtzman is the name of Kate McKinnon's character in Ghostbusters. My headcanon now includes the possibility that Dune and Ghostbusters occupy the same universe, and that she or one of her descendants discovered the Holtzman effect. I don't care what Dune Encyclopedia says.

Imo you can go straight from Dune Messiah to God Emperor and not miss a beat. Children adds nothing to the story and is painful to read.

I find the payoff at the end of Children to be worth it though. Leto II owns.

It is literally what brings down the emperor's shield on his giant ship tent complex, but Paul had to wait for a giant storm and then nuke the shield wall to get any use out of that. It doesn't get mentioned in relation to body shields as far as I know.

It's implied that if you're caught in the open during a Dune sandstorm you're hosed anyway, shield or no, rendering the point kind of moot.

I had always parsed it as Gurney and Duncan being freed from an off-planet Harkonnen site. The Guild seems OK with shuttling raid squads around, the Atreides even teamed up with the Fremen to go gently caress up some spice hoard or other before the Duke went down.

I thought that was on Arrakis itself, Harkonnen remnants/saboteurs?

I always imagined that folding space required a heroic dose of spice to achieve. Multiply those needs over a galaxy and there's your overhead.
