I’ve said this here before but I was so scared it was going to be horrible until I watched that first trailer and saw the headboard of Paul’s bed was exactly as described in the books, if someone was going to have that level of attention to detail I knew I’d love it. Also seeing the ornithopters in the trailer completely took me out, that design is so good

Dune sicko who read the book at least once a year since I was 11 or 12, watching the gom jabbar scene: 

Thinking about the portrait and the bull 😭

It is absolutely the funniest thing imaginable that Frank Herbert wrote a book about how you should never trust charismatic messianic leaders and how people like Paul are the bad guys and the hero’s journey is bullshit and he got so incensed when everyone said “wow! Paul!! What a great hero!!” that he immediately wrote a second book calling them all dumbasses

@OchotonidKnight I mean on some level that’s also intentional. His father is set up as someone who is more interested in honesty and integrity and doing things the right way than he is in accumulating power and what did it get him? The powerful people in this book are horrible because you have to do horrible things to accumulate that kind of power
