A weapon that either blinds everybody or blows up the planet, the gently caress did you pious dweebs want with it? Also on book 2, they mention that Stilgar planted the Atreides banner on whatever many planets and straight up sterilized however many others.

Jack-Off Lantern posted:Yeah, I'm not the biggest fan of old man sex weird, I'll give it a shot. They're all on audible, I'm not really picky during work. I think a big reason why I enjoyed the last two books so much when I first read them was me being too young to even register the full brunt of old Frank's sex weirdness. I still love the writing and bigger concepts and themes in those books, but the plentiful specifics of transgalactic pussy magic are firmly in yikes city to me now.

Son of Sam-I-Am posted:Firm, you say? And, much like mentat training, I was to be unaware of the mega horny programming going through my mind until I was ready to understand it, accept it, and consciously continue it. Untold amounts of seemingly unrelated information blitzing through my keenly trained intellect, forming and breaking connections, myriad patterns born and dead in a pico second, until I can exit my hyper aware state and hastily scrawl on a piece of spice fiber paper: "what if massive bazongas, but in space???"

I'm halfway through Heretics (also for the whateverth time) and am very surprised how very little horny-Frank sections there are in the first half. I know that after the escape from the no-globe part and Teg going SSJ4 it's super-mega-horny Frank time, but for whatever reason I remembered the horny being evenly distributed through the book. The boner moves. It inflicts itself upon the oracle and the supplicant alike.

MikeJF posted:Leto said that one possible future was the mutated hunter-seekers, but that as he drove them away from one thing another would pop up, and so on. The real thing that the Golden Path was trying to avoid was a humanity that stopped spreading and growing, because that meant eventually some threat would be bound to take it out given enough time, just statistically speaking. The Golden Path forcibly scarred humanity into a place where they'd never stop going and growing and changing and evolving new societies and civilisations and mutations and abilities in every new corner of space they reached, so nothing could ever be enough to wipe it all out. Defiance Industries posted:That, and to protect people from prescience. Whether the existence of prescience meant that humanity had stopped growing and spreading, or that a humanity that stagnates as the one in Dune did permitted it isn't really clear, but either way, it had to be destroyed. What are you people even talking about? The actual for real author of Dune has written extensively on the nature of Kralizec, and it is beep boop shapeshifting daleks aaaaaaall the way down. This is clearly set up masterfully in the prequels and pays off rather satisfactorily in the last two very real, very official and very true books of the series. Also sandworms can now swim, for reasons that are immediately obvious and comprehensible for anyone with half a brain. There's very few things I regret doing in life, but one of them for sure is succumbing to temptation and reading failsons cursed books. I tought "It can't possibly be that bad, even mediocre Dune is better than no Dune" and then I was completely wrong, instantly and forever. I am now become a tragic messiah figure, knowing what is to become of my beloved weirdo desert sci-fi series but powerless to stop it.

StarMinstrel posted:Haven't kept up much with the news of the movie(s), can anyone here quickly confirm that they're doing two movies and a following mini-serie? I assume also they're restarting from scratch and completely disregarding everything done with the Lynch movie, considering how much of a fail it was at the times. Basically basing it on the book and not remaking the movie or any scenes in it. Kinda, we have just the films confirmed so far: Dune (2020) Dune 2: Duner (2022) Dun3: Water Matter (not much, water matter with you?) (2024) Dune 4: Sietchcoming (2026) Dune reboot: Rise of Cybertrex (my fever dreams)

Tree Bucket posted:I guess Dune is built around examining the things we do to survive. The desert hawk eats carrion, the Fremen drink poop water, and the nobles have all their kanly forms to obey. Dune asks us to consider which of these we consider more or less good or disgusting, and why. Herbert keeps asking if ecological drives and pressures are tools for humans to use, or laws for humans to transcend, or an inescapable tragedy to which we can only respond by singing something sad with our baliset.... I think Tolkien was just angry he didn't come up with Amam pussy magic first.

Thread joke answer is "space brain magic" Failson official lore answer is "space lord Cybertrex magic" Actual answer is unclear, but Herbert seems to have already established that human consciousness transcends space time. Spice and innate abilities allow humans to see possible futures, Alia can bend time to make Paul hear her voice in the future/past, teg goes supersayan just by thinking about it, Duncan is so hunky and lived so many lives he can see no-ships and make ladies all warm and tingly just by climbing walls and poo poo. It is by will alone, etc. So it would not surprise me if his plans for the face dancers would have been as a foil to Duncan's humanity. Duncan lived many lives, the dancers absorbed many lives, if you put to much human in a single brain poo poo gets weird. It sure is a shame Herbert died and no further material was ever written on the dune universe after chapterhouse.

Vlex posted:So spice is somehow produced by sequestered water + whatever the sandtrout/sand plankton do to reproduce? I think all stages of the worm's life cycle produce spice, the blows are just more concentrated. Leto mentions in emperor that water buffered with a poo poo ton of melange is not letal to him, but just water makes his cells freak out and produce spice essence.

Also, all this talk about Dune's ecology made me remember the failson came up with the term ultraspice, which led me to the wiki pages of the forbidden books, which led me to the following sentences that I now inflict upon you:Failson posted:Adapting to their new environment, these "seaworms" quickly flourish, eventually producing a highly concentrated form of spice, dubbed "ultraspice". Failson posted:Waff resigns himself to failure and prepares to die; as the last of his sandworm specimens perishes, a dozen sandworms erupt from beneath the surface. Waff realizes that the pearl of Leto II's awareness that each sandworm carries had foreseen the Honored Matre attack on Rakis and buried themselves deep beneath the planet's surface. Failson posted:They are met by a party led by the ghola of Vladimir Harkonnen. Seeing the young ghola of Alia when he arrives, he immediately kills her; the original Alia had murdered his original self 5,000 years before. Failson posted:Victorious, Paolo takes the ultraspice; overwhelmed by the rapid onset of perfect prescient vision, he slips into a coma. Failson posted:When it appears that defeat at the hands of the thinking machine forces is imminent, the Oracle of Time appears with a thousand ships piloted by Guild Navigators and begins to attack the machines. Failson posted:Now that Paul is able to devote all of his attention to her, Chani remarks that he has finally learned how to treat his wife. Dune 8: Anime as gently caress

I think it's a well established phenomenon that human languages drop or merge specific sounds over long enough times in a consistent manner, enough so that specialists claim to have a good idea of what Indo-European would sound like. And since dune is nothing if not a long rear end time between miscellaneous fuckery going abouts, I'd buy that Arrakis looses the vowel over however many thousands of years. Paolo.

Heather Papps posted:also i'm pretty sure that one of the duncan gholas notices how the language has shifted around him when he awakens his memories, maybe? or is it just that he notices he's not a good fighter anymore as directed breeding makes people faster and stronger. Ghola Duncan is such a dweeb, his train of thought in Emperor goes "ok what did I miss in these millennia until my ghola awakening oh great huge human worm hybrid, alright, oh he speaks with the voice of my dear friend Paul, neato, hey is this forest thing all over dune the desert planet? far out man ahaha that river's named Idaho, that's like, my name dude, rad WOAH WOAH WOAH HOLD UP MONEO ARE THOSE TWO LADIES KISSING??????" And it takes a superhuman spice infused god to go "jesus christ Duncan chill out let the ladies do their thing the gently caress is wrong with you?", the very same entity that goes "hehehe Imma build a big old donger to shock peeps" In conclusion, Dune is a land of horny contrasts.

I mean, the guild will transport whatever you ask it to, provided you pay their exorbitant military fees. Baron even brings up how transporting the sardaukar ends up costing him nearly the entire profits of their decades long fiefdom in Arrakis. The Atreides strike affects the Harkonnen's stash of personal spice, not really the spice market itself. CHOAM and the guild wouldn't really give a poo poo if one individual house is poo poo out of luck, it's only because Paul threatens the entirety of spice production later that the bean counters sit up and listen.

I don't think dirty Frank intended for Duncan to be THE kwisatz haderach, only a possible way to achieve that state. The kwisatz seems to be just a human that's so good at extrapolating that they can see the future. The tleilaxu figure out how to make one but it goes insane, Paul and Leto are more similar because of the direct descendancy. And while the miles storyline is extremely anime, it also describes him eating and making GBS threads for hours, making it high art.
