Palpatine WISHES his “Do it!” had as much punch as Lady Jessica’s. I watched it in IMAX and it feels like her words are punching you in the face.
Palpatine sounded more like "dew-it" 😂
I literally turned to my wife and went, "DEWIT" 😂
Paul in this film was Anakin Skywalker meets Michael Corleone
Anakin meets Michael meets Eren
No, he didn't do enough to be in their category
Meets Lelouch. So just fallen heroes?🤣🤣
Beat me to it
@@notfromhere8889 not yet, dude racks up quite body count......
by the end of the movie i found paul more terrifying than feyd-rautha and that was all thanks to timothy. what a great performance this young man gave over 2 movies. really believable.
The reason the Baron says the artillery is brilliant is because in this time period it’s an ancient obscure weapon. Everyone has shields so artillery shells are literally useless. But on Dune where shields are impractical due to the worms, it’s was akin to Feyd digging up an ancient weapon and using it to full force.
* ceiling panel falls *
Stilgar: "Lisan Al-Gaib!!!"
lmao
Just like it’s written!!
The one real funny Stilgar moment is still at the beginning, when he pulls a Monty Python's Life of Brian: "The Messiah will deny he is the Messiah!" ("The Mahdi will be so humble, he will not admit he is the Mahdi...")
😂 omg you’re so right
If that was intentional, it was out of place. If it was unintentional - how the hell could it be unintentional..?. Some of the interns, etc. were like - Surely, Denny isn't going to leave that in? ha ha ha" and Denny says "Don't call me Shirley!"
All week I’ve been looking forward to you guys having to explain to Teddy that Paul is Bad
Best shot is the close up of Paul's hand when describe the "narrow path" after drinking the Worm liquid. A lesser director would have given us visions, but instead we stay with his hand. Amazing.
The subtle movement of his fingers representing a variety of options slowly turning to a unified blade was mesmerizing.
It was brilliant; I got exactly what the director was going for
I cannot believe that there are others out there who really appreciated that satisfying hand gesture...😅👌🏾
1) This movie is fucking GOATED
2) Its gonna take the rest of my life to get used to people referring to Reuben instead of Beau.
Teddy 100% would have been one of the Senators applauding when Palpatine became the Emperor in Episode III.
His role in King Henry had to have played a big part in finding the Paul character. He was a young kid who was thrust into power, and forced into a pointless war all so that him and the people around him could keep what they had….he was even forced into a marriage lol
Villeneuve's Dune makes Lynch's Dune look like Spaceballs and Star Wars look like off-brand cereal.
Lynch's Battle of Arrakeen was more epic. Loved the new movies, but the '84 ending was better
We can enjoy both without bringing them down
This was the worst movie I've ever seen in my life. I rolled my eyes countless times. I hate how this movie is just Palestinian terrorist propaganda, and the fat villain was an allegory for Trump. Disgusting. Trump can't go anywhere without being ridiculed.
Trump 2024! This movie sucks!!!
They're 40 years apart. That's not a fair comparison
David Lynch movie is still a good movie
In the books, he initially sees other possible futures that don’t bring about the Holy War, but they don’t involve him getting revenge on the Baron and the Emperor so he disregards them.
That is true. If I remember right he has that vision in the tent where sees himself going before the Baron and saying “hello, grandfather” implying he would forego vengeance for his father, and his thought was, I will not go that path.
@@MROJPC yeah, the alternative he saw involved embracing his Harkonnen birthright and probably becoming Baron, since he would have more claim as a direct descendant of Vlad. I think he also considered being smuggled off world and becoming a Guild Navigator or a Mentat.
@@biospark4758the guild one may have actually been an alternative that saved humanity (if you believe in the golden path thing being a necessity due to Paul’s actions), as it would have allowed similar foresight and eventual control of transportation, solving the stagnation problem. All without the jihad
Welcome to the hall of fame of golden sequels, Dune 2. 😂
Who else has a golden bust in a glass case?
This was the worst movie I've ever seen in my life. I rolled my eyes countless times. I hate how this movie is just Palestinian terrorist propaganda, and the fat villain was an allegory for Trump. Disgusting. Trump can't go anywhere without being ridiculed.
Trump 2024! This movie sucks!!!
Just Dune, LOTR, and Shrek
@@ugoeze7360 Aliens, Terminator 2, Godfather 2, The Twin Towers, there's not many there and people disagree on which should be in but those are at least in mine.
@@combatwombat2134yes, yes, yes, and no
I haven't been this geeked about rewatching a film in the theaters since Fellowship, and I've already seen it twice, first time in IMAX, then on an "Ultrascreen" but in the wide format.
Which did you prefer
@Valintynee so prior to this film I was wholly unaware of the "IMAX vs LieMAX" differences, which largely boil down to the overall size of the screen, amongst other differences in clarity and sound. We have a LieMAX, so I think if you're lucky enough to be near a theater that has true IMAX, I say go for it. For me they were about the same, but the Ultrascreen at Marcus was the better experience because of the modern plushy recliner-seating, vs the older highback, stadium-seating of our local Liemax, which is still relatively common for these establishments. It's a long enough film that you notice the difference. I didn't personally notice the difference in aspect ratio, I was kind of blown away by both. The LieMAX had more of an even filling of your view, but was roughly 60x30ft, our local Ultrascreen is roughly 70x30ft, so also massive but in a more traditional wider format, and with better seating. In all honesty though, I could watch this film on my phone and be totally engaged.
Lady Jessica pulled off a Palpatinesque “Do it!”, when she had Chani bring Paul back.
Greatest cinema experience since LOTR? Yes.
Ehhhhhhhhhhh
If you've seen the King, you would have been 100% positive on Timothee's charisma.
33:50 When Paul accepts his role, unites the fremen and overthrows the Harkonnen/Emperor...it is way too late to avert total war. Some sort of middle ground is not part of the equation. Paul being raised as a mentat... calculating all these variables and possible outcomes, enhanced with the water of life... He knows that the narrow way through encompasses the mass suffering and war. Which is why he is shown to be so reluctant.
Not really he had other possibilities but wasn’t bringing him revenge
@@Paulin-pw5jx oh yeah for sure the revenge a huge motivator! I wonder though what are some of the top alternatives you feel he had
The one thing that lingers in my mind is that, for a society that is very thin on resources, they really have no issue wasting the thumpers every time they call a worm
😂 I had that thought too. Who’s going back to grab all these thumpers after a worm?
That’s kind of the misnomer about the Fremen. They are far more powerful, abundant, and technologically advanced than anyone gives them credit for. Their society, customs, and religion are what make them seem less than or hurting for resources. Case in point: all that water under Sietch Tabr that they can’t even touch.
I won't spoil anything, but the books do explain more of his motivating factors and other paths that wouldn't have led to jihad. He ultimately chose the path for selfish reasons compounded by his trauma. He is definitely no true hero.
The author wrote book 2 just to clarify the point of the first book, the danger of heroes and cult of personality.
When he walks in to say I’m leading the way he looked like he was model walking in a Balenciaga show
Ngl I think this has the potential of being my favorite movie of all time. I saw it once in IMAX and am seeing it again next week in Dolby. I think that second viewing in Dolby will cement it as my favorite EVER.
Absolutely it will. No doubt!
watch it in IMAX again. The first time i saw it my theater had a malfunction and was forced to see it in dolby. It was good, but I watched it again in IMAX yesterday and it definitely adds to the experience.
Second viewing was even better than the first. picked up more about visions on chanis death being a motivator for going south. Unbelievable film
Stilgar character as the devoted fanatic was done so well, cause at the start of the movie he is the one pushing for Paul to be the profect but once the shift happens he doesn't know how to react even when Paul goes against everything he stands for refusing to kill him defying openly the council, the fear that controls the Fremem is not to be proven right it's the shock of being wrong the whole time, even at the end where a holy war it's not in their best interest yet for messiah they wished for they stand.
This movie has one of the best needle drops ever during the assault on the spice harvester scene in the first half of the movie. Chani fires a rocket at an ornithopter and as it hits the ground it explodes and the score blasts in. Literally an explosion of sound it was incredible.
That shot is all 10s I'm glad you remembered it
It's funny how Feyd looks at Rabban when Muad'Dib begins his final assault and Rabban looks back at him like....yeah mufuka you ain't that smart either 😂😂😂😂
Teddy fawning over Paul is literally the best thing ever 😭😂
Teddy seems like a Himbo. That’s the nice way of putting it.
On the Feyd Rautha accent: (book spoilers) in the book, Feyd has been groomed extensively by the Baron and has been abused mentally emotionally sexually by the Baron. I interpreted Feyd having a similar speech to the Baron as him trying to imitate him, to get into his good graces. It’s such a messed up dynamic between the two that this just fits logically to me. They’re obsessed with each other-The Baron is in love with Feyd while Feyd loathes the Baron but also has some Stockholm love/admiration for him too.
"Duncan should have been in this one"
....
...
Well.
😏
Finally saw it yesterday and i absolutely loved it. The changes to Chani's character are great. In the book she is kind of like most of the other Freman and goes along with the prophecy. But here shes a vehicle for the audience to view Paul through.
I was surprised how much they bent the movie over backwards to express how bad the prophecy and the path Paul ultimately goes down is and not only nakes it work but honestly enhances the whole story. Usually being this on the nose about aomething doesnt work that well but they knocked it out of the park.
Without a time skip, this version of Paul and Chani are 15 years old. That’s something to bear in mind with regards to some of the changes in behavior
What is this, Grease? They have to be at least in their 20s based on their appearance lol
The tragedy of Paul is in his effort to be good, loving, AND honor bound, he avoids what the big picture “best” path is. He rallies against what is called his “Terrible Purpose”, yet he stumbles into it anyway. Then, in order to save those he cares for most, he takes charge of that purpose before it’s too late (it kind of already is) and becomes the thing he fought against the whole time- all for love and honor.
I think that's a pretty good analysis, I'd add that what Paul (and what Leto ll would come to call the "Golden Path) did following the ending of Dune 2 was a demonstration that even those who claim to hold power are still beholden to the will of those around them. Shaddam lV's powers as Emperor really only extend to the limit to which the Guild's allow him. Like wise with Paul, even though a lot of time is spend establishing that only he can see the clear path forward, the fanatic legions of Fremen warriors essentially force his hand into battle as he recognises that the Fremen have had their taste of blood and WILL continue with or without Paul.
The way Ruben tried to mansplain this movie to Teddy and he just goes “yea Paul’s a good guy” lmaoooo
“Right side, winning side… what’s the difference?” -Teddy
😂
I like that the action scenes including the rout of the Emperor’s forces are not drawn out, sparing budget that would have gone to lots of expensive additional special effects. And also extending the runtime for yet another been there done that epic, mind-numbing battle. I also love that they took it inside, as you could see the Emperor and company’s anxious and uncertain fear.
This also gave room to the other scenes centering on politics, religion, romance, culture, history, and contemplation-allowing these scenes to breathe. And perfectly do world creation worthy of Frank Herbert’s vision…
Also for me I’ve never seen a film paced so well. The 3rd act is just phenomenal
Bless the Maker and his Work.Tomorrow going for third time,watched in 4DX,Dolby Atmos and tomorrow going to watch in Imax 70mm.
Up to 7 viewings already as of yesterday and I'm going through withdrawal. Will be going this weekend a couple more times once again. I'm hitting 10 at the movie theater at a minimum. Hands down my favorite movie of all time already.
One of best movies ever no hyperbole
The use of the word hyperbole makes your comment hyperbolic in spirit, if not in nature
@@Man00ks it’s not that deep
Shut the hell up.
The story is way to stupid for it to even crack good bud.
@@larrydavis7689 I’m trolling bro, I couldn’t help myself 😆. Peace and love
To me, it's not necessarily that the path is "chosen" for them. It's the lure of Power and the Harkkanen in Paul driving this is what I interpreted. Also Lady Jessica swayed Paul to the South, She knew that for her to be the Reverend mother, Paul has to go to the South. "Plan within a Plan". This could all be planned by Lady Jessica
The issue with Christopher walkem was simply his wardrobe. He looked out of place in the outfit that was a wardrobe failure.
Teddy came with some heat and passion for this and I'm here for it
If you had read the book, when you saw the first one and how good it was you knew this one would be like Dark Knight to Batman Begins. All the action and satisfying moments are in second part of the book. The first is necessary world building and set up, to be honest I didn't think it would work. I thought people would hate it with unsatisfying ending. But Villeneuve did it so well that it worked. Making the first movie work is actually more of an achievement in my eyes --even though the second is the better movie. This second one is the part of the book everyone loved, it had all the juicy source material that designed to pay off the reader/audience.
Making Dune Messiah work though will be the biggest challenge of all. It's not a crowd pleasing story. This could go Dark Knight Rises unfortunately.
Another episode with the C-3PO of nerdsoup? Nice!
Just stopping by for engagement I haven't seen this movie yet
Saw it at Lincoln square amc IMAX it was awesome
One of the best film ever for sure. I have only one small nit to pick and I'm curious if anyone else feels the same. Im talking about the moment when Paul enters the temple in the South Arrakis where he drinks the potion. I feel like the set up for this transformative moment was a bit rushed, and for a while I was confused where he actually is. I think that a brief scene would be enough to set it up properly. Show us Paul arriving to the compound, meeting his mother and her showing him the way to the temple. What do you guys think?
His mother had just been there and they showcased the temple. And they do show Paul reluctantly arrive with the guards at the door... just as with everything, the goal was to show how the bene jezerit plant seeds that always bear fruit... even when his mother went to see how the water of life was made she convinced the keeper of the makers that Paul could drink the water... So when he arrives it makes sense that she has already opened every door for him. Its partly what makes her terrifying
It's interesting to hear Teddy struggle to acknowledge that Paul is becoming the villan. The entire movie is trying to warn of the danger of charismatic hero figures, but he still is seduced by the myth. Even the hero of this story knows that he's not the hero of this story.
Prolly gonna watch this movie like 7 times in the theatre I'm addicted at this point
Teddy reviewing this movie sounding like he thought Paul was here to Make Arrakis Great Again. Replace Paul with Trump and this could be a Fox pre-rally hype video 😅😂😂
He threatened to blow up all spice. So no space travel, plus anyone using spice on another planet will die of withdrawal.
How did they travel prior to spice? They had to be able to get to Arrakis somehow.
@@djomla9999AI - but then ir turned on them and humanity had to defeat it
I made the brilliant decision to get really high while watching it in theaters. The scene where Paul rides the worm for the first time was absolutely terrifying.
8:46 but there is no "fate" in Dune universe. Paul has a choice. He chooses to kill 60 billion people in order to have revenge. Chani has all the right to be hard on Paul. He turned her people into slaves of his desires.
People who are actually, seriously comparing Dune to Star Wars really need to step back and question what point they're trying to make. I love Dune, read all the books, just like I love Star Wars. I'd never try to compare the two because I know it's kind of pointless. It's like comparing a children's novel to a best seller, 800 page introspective into the human psyche. Sure...you can do that, but who honestly believed they were comparable in the first place? And if your intention was to make a point about how smart you are, just say that. Honestly, it's so cringe reading all the comments saying "this movie makes Star Was look such and such" or "Wow, Star Wars could never do this!" Seriously, you're only showing people that your only frame of reference is Star Wars and Dune; And if you're trying do demonstrate your superior intellect, that's probably not a good idea.
been waiting for this one:)
In the book the Landsraad (great houses of the empire) accept his claim. And in the book Chani stays as his concubine.
The houses refusing makes some sense here as a catalyst for the war seeing as we're not spending the same amount of time as in the books over the course of the story. Also speaking of time differences (SPOILERS), didn't Paul & Chani have a son who was killed during this conflict in the books? I feel like I remember that happening here...
I'm honestly hoping Chani does end up sticking around. I kept waiting for her to turn back right up until the credits rolled. Don't think we know one way or the other yet though.
@Dairkun They skipped the first child, yes. We may consider she might decide to come back because she might be pregnant of the twins, maybe, but we will have to wait and see what Villeneuve does.
Been waiting for days to hear this
Eventually, there really isn't a question if Paul is a villain. In Messiah, there's a chapter early on in which Paul compares himself with Hitler and says that Hitler killed millions and Stilgar is like "with his own hands?" "No, with his armies" "Oh then that's nothing, your armies kill that many in a single month!" (paraphrasing)
It’s not that black and white. Paul’s reasons are far more nuanced than Hitler’s. The events that brought the jihad about were not wholly in Paul’s control, something he only realises later.
Let’s goooo, I was hoping to get this today
The gold suits from Dune Part 1 was a figurative representation of the "Golden Path" in Paul's vision. That Paul will lead the Fremen as a Fremen down the "Golden path" its pretty deep visual in the first movie that pays off when you see Chani strike that pose in Dune Part 2. Basically, Chani is being built to be Paul's Antithesis in the third movie. A slight departure from the books
Y’all are the best; appreciate your honest opinions
As much as I like Dune part 2, I prefer Dune part 1. I think for me it was the first-time experience of the Dune universe. Having a slower pace in part 1 doesn't seem to bother me as much as other people. And part 1 was exactly what I've wanted from Star Wars since I was young. But Dune part 2 definitely does not disappoint :)
My friends had the same feeling as well and I attribute it to the first being all set up. And so when it ends it leaves you with questions and implications that sets your imagination to create how it would end. And when we get part 2 we see but it may not be what we imagined. Doesn’t take away though cause part 2 is still really great.
I feel the same but I have watched part 1 four times and liked it more each time. Wonder how rewatching Dune part 2 will change my mind if at all.
The edgelords are going to take the completely wrong message from this movie.....
It’s like you guys forget that Paul is not the chosen one. Who was artificially genetically engineered. The whole prophecy was created by the Bene Gesserit for Paul so it would be easier for him to control the fremen. It is all artificial. So yes Chani is very right to be angry at Paul…
People getting mad about this point never ceases to make me laugh. They're often the one's crying about Wokeness because they hate Zendaya with a seething passion, and how adaptations suck. No wonder they suck when you cant even understand the most simple of concepts.
Beau’s finally embracing his true name lol
Did he really change his name? It's still Beau in the video description so I thought it was a joke
I’m going to see Dune 2 for the third time today. Loved it. I agree though there were parts where it was hard to understand what they were saying. Loved Bardem but there were scenes that I needed subtitles.
Yay , best notification!
When watching this movie, Paul awakening gave me Eren Yeager vibes when he was able to see the future......and I'm kinda worry for Paul
Eren and Bran stark. Knowing the future be fucking people up
Yeah I wonder if the mangaka ever read dune
I think it’s their black sun that removes color from the atmosphere, so even fireworks aren’t in color. I haven’t read the book, but that’s what I got when the baron mentioned the glorious black sun, or something to that effect. ☀️ 💥
The lack of science fiction in a science fiction adaptation is troubling in this modern age
I don’t think the baron was trying to cling to power crawling to the throne. I think he was doing it to die on the thrown. He did know he was a dead man but at least he could have a more extravagant death. I haven’t read the books though so many I’m wrong. It’s how saw it
Probably the best sequel of all time. 10/10
The name drop of DUNE was chilling
My only criticism was that in the book Paul only realizes it's too late after the point of no return. He sees that even his own death would still cause the same war.
Also i cant wait for Teddy's reaction to the next movie if it happens.
Paul says he sees "one path forward," so essentially no, he never had the choice to slow things down after he defeated the Harkonnens and took back Arrakis. This one path is the path that leads to holy war and billions dead in his name, but it also leads to Fremen freedom. He makes a choice, but it is a terrible choice. The book refers to this as his "terrible purpose." He cannot just revert course, he has chosen a course that will now play out
In the books it is made explicit that there are ways to lead the Fremen to freedom without war, but it would lead to Paul giving up his quest for revenge and not being Emperor.
Paul does make a choice and in the end chooses selfishly.
Go to Abu Dhabi, live the experience of Dune universe in Rub Al Khali desert, Qasr Al Sarab.. they shoot most of the desert scene here.. also Force Awakens and Starwars sequels.
Paul has become the head of a fanatical cult on the verge of a universe destroying holy war who isn't afraid to press his gifts and take advantage of those around him for "the greater good."
He makes Thanos look like a reasonable guy.
I don't know how anyone can root for Paul unless you also blindly agree with what Paul/Jessica thinks is right = objectively right.
About 30mins in there was some sound and voice layered under a vision. I was thinking b4 the movie how would they convey the powers of Paul besides the voice and it was at this point that i was having a special experience. I was so happy i stopped by the dispensary first... i felt like maybe i was slightly hallucinating but the film is just that brilliant. It's an all encompassing sensory buffet...
Aaron, look up the 1998 BBC documentary by Michael Wood titled, In the footsteps of Alexander the great. Very cool.
Walkin in "Kings of New York" chilling
Paul traded his blue balls for blue eyes.
1:50 agreed 100% it was nonstop excellence
I saw this on IMax on three separate occasions. Christopher Walken was perfect as the emperor because this guy wasn't just the sovereign of some small peninsula or country or continent or even a planet. He was the emperor of an area so big that you literally have to bend space and time to get from one end of it to the other. He also commanded a military so formidable that it brought that entire universe to heal just on reputation alone!!! A guy like that's not going to be loud and boisterous or flamboyant because he doesn't need to be. It's like the old mob boss, who's whole crew is walking around in Gucci and he shows up in a cheap valore sweat suit. It's the understated one in the room who's calling all the shots?
1:03:10 imagine if part 1 ended with a similar tease to part 2 like the “this is just the beginning.” But instead of Chani it was like the opening of Part 2 where Paul is talking to his sister in the womb and says something along the lines of, “I will see you soon Alia”
The story reminds me of Attack on Titan. Like we’re rooting for Erin until the latter half…
I will be seeing it on Wednesday night. I left Part 1 disappointed, so hopefully the cinematic experience will compensate
Loved the film but do have problems with the pacing. The beginning too slow and the end too fast. Really wish that was reversed or keep the beginning and made the end longer. Also. The Empire played by Christian Walker
did not work at all. Luckily its no big deal since he doesn't do much. I wish Feyd Rautha was giving a little more build up.
Also. Visuals are truly amazing but I also love the soundtrack. Been listening to it since watching movie.
Imma stand with Paul just like I did Eren😂
After Jessica drinks the water and she has the tattoos all over her face was so terrifying, even my wife was laughing because I was just drooling. LOL😅
I'm a hard core Dune series book reader, and I was NOT annoyed at all. It's amazing how well they adapted the book. Sure, some things changed, some things were left out, but it worked. It was the best film/theater experience I've ever had in my life. Every director should watch this film and think about they can even come close to making a movie like this, because the bar has been set HIGH.
Same! Dune- the book - led me to my University path (sociology of religion). Sure, I notice every change from the source material, but I understand them and am in love with the result.
I wonder if Villenuve is planning on doing more sequels. Only because the subsequent books are super weird if I recall correctly and there’s also a massive time jump that basically removes a lot of the characters we’re familiar with. Then again Teddy even said this movie is pretty weird and he still loved it and wants a sequel tomorrow lol, so I think general audiences are down for the even more weird aspects of the subsequent books.
Great movie but as a book reader I did have some issues. The complete flip of certain character’s motives and actions were a little jarring. Disappointed that we got no Count Fenring, no Thufir Hawat, basically no Alia. No spacing guild members in the final scene. Just kinda bummed that a lot of the subtle, devious, plans within plans stuff was nixed.
But yeah, overall, incredible movie.
I was a little concerned about Timothee being able to portray a strong Muad'Dib...but after he drank the Water of Life...all concerns were gone. He absolutely killed it. And I agree that Chani was being a bit hard on Paul. You have to remember...Paul realized that he was being manipulated and created into a pawn for the Bene Gesserit. He recognized it and SAW what would happen should he follow the path they laid before him. He was actively refusing to play into this because the life he wanted was to formulate a plan of revenge, but to do it his own way, and be with Chani. Yet as Chani said...other plans have forced their hand.
The ending was so tragically sad. Paul, when speaking to Chani and asking her to remember that he would love her while he still drew breath...that was the final moment that Paul knew there was no turning back on the life he wanted. The only way forward for his own survival, for the revenge he sought, and for the survival of the people that took him in...was war. And his only real play was to utilize the mythology built around him to garner the power necessary to bring the empire that killed his family to it's knees.
But he also knows that such an escalation was going to bring billions of deaths. This kid who was just trying to figure out how to live is now in a position where no decision holds anything less than dire consequences.
I’ve been wrestling with this since I saw the movie, but I love the book so much more. Not a huge fan of the changes. It’s a great movie but for me love the book more
It feels weird because they aren't flying, they're using anti-grav devices so they have to traverse carefully or they'll propel themselves out too far and be easy targets
Can anyone fill me in on Beau seemingly changing his name to Ruben now, thought it was a joke but later heard Teddy refer to him as Ruben like 30 minutes later and I know there is no way Teddy can keep a joke going for that long lmao
God I can't wait for Teddy to see or read Dune Messiah lol
RUBEN.... Ok.... It's like finding out Papa Doc's real name is Clarence lol (but Bo is soo much more believable) when I've known you for heading towards a decade (don't actually know you of course but a fan for a LONG TIME) it's crazy it feels off (I'll adjust, it's your real name!) & Teddy continues to be the weakest part of your show. AS ALWAYS... Seriously don't know why you keep him on. (Maybe for conflict or dumb points of view for views and discourse, or the "REGULAR" person point of view which we don't need, you and Aaron are both great and enough) LOVE Y'ALL. MORE VIDEOS ARE NEEDED & more frequent!
I'm with Chani all the way through. I just can't stand how religions are used as a tool for propaganda, TO THIS DAY. It really hit when Paul's claimed his role and wore his father's ring in front of the crowd. He's reclaiming his name, while stripping the Fremens off theirs agency, fighting his war. Paul's not just planning to be Arrakis ruler, but he's becoming the emperor of ALL planets! Talk about going big. The whole arc is basically a cult leader coming into power with radicalized civilians trusting their "god" blindly, completely. Gotta love how dark it went.
ps. Stilgar might be a fanatic cultist, but I can't not love him too. lol
Would have liked Fayde's defeat of the north and the final battle could have been longer. But overall; excellent and proper sci-fi.
