This marriage helps to legitimize his rule in the eyes of the other noble houses and the wider galactic empire.

Ensuring the Future; Dynastic Continuity: The marriage to Irulan ensures a line of succession that is recognized by all major powers in the empire. This helps to secure the future of his descendants and the stability of his reign.

The marriage to Irulan is purely a political maneuver, and Paul makes it clear that Chani will always be his true partner.
@@sidecrazies and according to the books, he's never intimate with the princess. If anything i'd love if the princess fell in love with Paul and grew angrier the more he didn't put out causing tension between her and chani, too.
Paul learned that final knife move from Gurney in the first movie, remember Paul had the knife to Gurneys throat but Gurney’s knife was below at Paul’s side. Feyd left himself open with his right hand holding the knife and his left hand behind holding Paul’s neck.
This is not meant to be a rude comment, but I don't get how they don't understand Chani's frustration. The movie has told you that the Lisan Al Ghaib prophecy is a superstition planted by the Bene Gesserit to allow them to control the people. Paul knows this, and the more Paul leans into becoming this prophetic figure, the more he is intentionally manipulating her people in order to pursue his own goals. She loves her people and knows he is likely to get many of them killed if he pursues war. He is turning the people she loves into fanatical followers.
Well, to play devil's advocate, we as an audience know the prophecy is false, but after seeing every single art of the prophecy come true, it would be reasonable to assume it's legit from her perspective. Having said that, I really enjoyed Chani's portrayal in the movie.
@@a_kazakis I guess I just get a little baffled that the writer/director went out of their way to rewrite Chani to make her very critical of Paul's actions to help point out to the audience that his actions are at best questionable and at worst quite evil, and people still miss it. I guess that's the power of the protagonist's perspective. We will always sympathize with the character whose story we are following.
@@sk_lurks They couldn’t have left Chani as written. A female character who is loyal to her man and his mission without question would not be accepted by modern audience. Chani in the books was more of a priestess than a warrior. She worked with Paul’s mother to help his ascension to power. But they had to insert her into combat and make her a counter productive force towards the man she supposedly loves.
@technofilejr3401 supposedly loves? She can love HIM but not the lies to enslave her people. Blindly obeying a man no matter what evil he commits, isn't true love. I doubt if that is a "modern" concept.

47:35 You're not supposed to remove a blade that cut you like that... But Paul received Bene Gesserit training from his mother, which allows him to heal at a molecular level
To be clear: You´re not supposed to remove a blade that cut you like that... WHEN YOU HAVE ACCESS TO AN AMBULANCE!! In modern day we can hold still, call an ambulance and wait for help.. But if you need to move, or walk away from your location, you HAVE to remove it (or you won´t be able to move, because you would be constantly stabbing yourself :S).
They could shoot the harvester first, but at that range it would have to be done with a laser, which the thopter would notice and blast that area from above. They can't shoot the aircraft with lasers, if a laser hits a shield it triggers a thermonuclear explosion which would kill pretty much everyone around. Lasers gave basically infinite range so you could hit them from far away, but they need the scrap from the wrecks of machines and water from the crew, all lost if everything gets nuked. That's why they engage the harvester first at close range, it forces the thopter to behave predictably, they won't shoot their own harvester, and once it's down there's no other shields to worry about, that's why the lasers don't pop up until the aircraft is down
9:04, the baby who will be named Alia doesn't die. But she essentially goes through the same transformation as her mom. She is born a Reverend Mother with the memories of all of her ancestors before she could develop her own personality. Alia will be what the Bene Gesserit call Pre-Born. The Bene Gesserit consider such children an abomination. She is the abomination that the Reverend Mother speaks about in the throne room at the end not Paul.
Paul pulled the blade out of the side of his own stomach and stabbed Feyd-Rautha in the heart with it. This was the narrow path in which Paul foresaw victory for Atreides and the Fremen.
I agree about the knife part. But the narrow path that Paul sees has more to do with all of the forces within the Imperium and beyond that will pose a threat.
This is one of the few movies where the sequel (at least in my opinion) exceeded the likes of the first film! Visually, the story, cinematography, sound design, music score and acting, absolutely mind blowing what Denis Villeneuve and his crew did with this film!
31:18 Remember that in an earlier scene the reverend mother that advises the emperor ordered one of the women in their order to get pregnant with a girl from the Harkonnens? That is what the bene gesserits do, they mix the noble bloodlines in order to eventually get to a point when one of the descendants would have incredible mental power and the self-control to use it properly. They are basically breeding them to achieve what they want, like a form of eugenics. Paul's mother was one of those babies. The women from the bene gesserit order seem to be the daughters of men from the great houses.
I thought I would take a bit of time to explain why Chani is upset. The Lissan Al Gaib prophecy has a fictional origin. It was created by the Bene Gesserit several thousand years ago and merged into the indigenous culture. This is distinct from the Bene Gesserit notion of the kwisatz haderach which is a Bene Gesserit (prophecy isn't quite the right term - maybe project) - whatever it is it's a breeding program. It's from this that Paul inherits his powers. Chani is amongst the Fremen who recognises that the idea of the Lissan al gaib was manufactured by outsiders to manipulate her people. She wants the liberation of her people to come from her people not from the outside as the outsiders will use her people for their own ends. Chani accepts paul because he is humble and willing to become part of her people. Paul turning around and using the prophecy to take control of her people is something that goes against everything she stands for. Paul betrays her core principles, I think this is a much larger betrayal to her taking the princesses hand in marriage. I am glad though that the movie still lands if you miss these details.
Ladies, despite being what many would agree is the definititive adaptation of Herbert's novel, there is still much that was adapted out of the combined 5+ hour run time of Dune Parts 1 & 2. So yes, you have to read the book.
"Lasguns" cause a massive explosion when they hit a shielded object which is why they didn't use them on the spice harvester until the shielded ship was down.
Plus the fremen only have a few lasguns and they are very valuable. The second they start shooting the harvester, the ornithopter and soldiers will be attacking them, the fremen will die and those few precious lasguns will be confiscated.
In the Dune universes Noble marriages are more like business contracts. Love rarely enters into it. Most nobles have concubines (like Jessica) that are more like wives as we know them. Paul is only going to marry Irulan to take the throne. It is something I feel the recent movies did not really explain this. Also, Paul is basically a Male Bene Gesserit, so he has the ability to heal himself almost instantly.
Paul still loves Chani, and if he was content to be duke of arrakis she would be an ideal bride to solidify his standing with the fremen. But he's playing for the imperium so he HAS to marry someone from another noble house. But it is absolutely him choosing power over her. Prophesy or not, the result is the same.
You are looking at it with modern marriage ideals. In this universe a marriage is more often for strategic goals. The concubine like Paul's Mother is more likely to be the love of the male. That's why Paul's Father had not married his Mother, His hand in marriage was still open for an alliance with another House.
Yep... it's funny how people just can't grasp that. They think, "OH it's in the future! there is equality ofcourse" but don't look at history at all how civilizations literally rise and fall. Dune is basically humanity inheriting advanced technology of the future but adopting traditional cultures and customs of the past, all for survival and control.
I missed a few things from the 1984 film that I would have liked to have seen in these new ones. For example: "FATHER! THE SLEEPER HAS AWAKENED!" and, "Usul, we have worm sign the likes of which not even GOD has seen!"
The most intuitive comment was the one that "people do not have free will". Paul did not have much choice. It was about choosing the less catastrophic path.
These movies are fantastic, but defiantly read the books if you get the chance. So much more detail. They will help you understand this world so much better.
He married the daughter to lend legitimacy to claim to the throne. To use a Game of Thrones reference, he would otherwise be known as a Usurper or KingSlayer.
I LOVED watching this in the cinema, it was an absolute experience watching it in IMAX! Cannot wait to watch it again with my two beautiful, Bulgarian angels, love you ladies so much!!❤❤
Feyd Rautha was the movie for me. The Gladiator scene was nothing short of breathtaking, and Austin Butler's performance gives me chills no matter how many times I watch him.
Great reaction. But Desis, the Director was playing with the viewers. If you recall. Paul's Father was NOT married to Jessica. But they were eternally connected. Jessica tells Paul that he needs to keep his options open for a "strategic" alliance. Chani is Paul's love. He made sure he told her to her face. The book end so differently. Jessica tells Chani that "History shall call us wives".
This film, Avatar 2, Spider-Man no Way home and top gun Maverick are the four favorites of mine of the 2020s, and so is the soundtrack to which is so exhilarating🙌🏼
In the Dune universe, lasers hitting shields cause a nuclear explosion. The Harvester was not shielded because shields attract and enrage worms in the desert, but the ornitopter was shielded because, since it flies, it didn't incur the risk of attracting worms. The Fremen knew all of this and didn't dare fire their lasers before the ornipopter was destroyed because they could end up accidentally hitting its shield and bascially killing everybody. So they waited until Chani and Paul took down the ornitopter with anti-air weapons and then they were free to use lasers to destroy the Harvester.
33:51 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Legit the best commentary on this movie summed up in 3 words. The movie adaption of Chani only makes sense if 1) she isn't the daughter of Liet Kynes, 2) Water isn't a scarcity on Arrakis and 3) She just wants to wage endless guerilla warfare against the Imperium until......... They give up?? Your planet has the most valuable resource to humankind. No one is going to leave you alone and there will be endless conflict forever. Paul has atomic weapons and noble bloodline legitimacy. His path was really the only way. Book Chani understands that. Movie Chani doesn't.
@@technofilejr3401 here again, you are getting at the same thing -- why isn’t Chani submissive and obedient blahblahblah. Paul (in this changed form) is no hero, not a good guy. You obviously don't know that Frank Herbert wrote Dune as a tale against blindly following Messiah-types. Chani represents rationality and healthy scepticism. You painting her as some basically sour chick for no good reason, says more about your view of "the female role" than the actual film.
@@maryamkim1281 If you read the book you would understand the exploitation was mutual. Chani and the Fremen are not the angels you believe them to be. Seeing the bigger picture also has nothing to do with being subservient or submissive. Herbert's Chani is subservient to her people and father's dream of terraforming Arrakis into a Green paradise. Villeneuves Chani is an alien and disconnected from her own people, disrespect's their culture and beliefs, if she was true to her own beliefs she would've cheered for Feyd Rautha as he drove the knife into Paul..
Great reaction, as usual Ellie&Michelle!!! Thanx And, yes ladies... All your very good questions/confusions will be answered by reading the book Dune. And, also read DuneMessiah, which will be the basis of the next film!
Paul is the hero. It was Jessica’s love for Leto that made her go against the Bene Gesserit and have a son instead of a daughter to fulfill their “prophecy”. So she decided to hijack the prophecy and use Paul to really make a difference. Paul being trained by his mother in the skills of the Bene Gesserit but with the morals of his father Leto. The Bene Gesserit prophecy was to instill someone they could control, but Paul couldn’t be controlled. And Paul freed the Fremen and will actually bring a green paradise to Dune. And the Golden Path he sets humanity on will save humanity from extinction (even though billions die in the jihad).
I mean the Fremen go extinct because of the jihad and the transformation of Arrakis so he was definitely not a hero to the Fremen imo. Maybe a hero to humanity as a whole however.
@@javi0313 they go “extinct” because he makes the planet a paradise and they no longer need to be these desert warriors. They moved on. Just like we don’t have Spartans anymore because the need for their existence isn’t there, but they have there ancestors around. Same for the Fremen.
@@HanselLeiderhosen against their will tho, many Fremen began to realize the transformation of Arrakis would wipe out their culture and they began to question Paul’s religion. I think it’s sad that an entire culture was eliminated.
@@javi0313They Wanted a Green Paradise & a exchange for that…Is Water, so their beloved Sand/culture was the price The Ultimate Exchange. A Planet of Sand for a Planet of Trees & Water no More Dune.
Paul's marriage to Irulan is political. He does not care for her. Leto never married Jessica for the same reason. The final line of the book (which you should read) is Jessica telling Chani, "History will call us wives."
Loved reaction as always. You should watch society of the snow. It's a great movie and I would love to hear what you have to say about that one. If you do watch it I recommend the original language with subtitles, the acting was amazing
If you really enjoy reading and want something slightly more challenging then the book is fantastic and definitely explains things much better but if you are satisfied with the movies there is no shame in just googling some of the thing you’re confused about. The movies are just fantastic as someone who read the book.
While the Feyd-Rautha Joffrey comparisons seem to make sense at first, Feyd is much less cowardly and more competent than Joffrey. He actually comes extremely close to killing Paul at the end. I thought Austin Butler killed it in this role. I was legitimately bummed he died bc I wanted more of him haha
he married the emperor's daughter to secure alliance and that the empire itself will not go against him... and now the royal army will actually go by his side, you know due the marriage. we shouldnt Dont spoil what will happen with chani and the knife trick was made for this movie and works great, just aim for not lethal point and thats it
The book is so much better, you should definitely read it. I've read the 6 books written by Frank Herbert, they're excellent but the first one and God Emperor are my favorites.
Excellent as always Now you need to start your Journey at DC's animated movies universe And with Arrow and Titans live action series both from DC Also with awesome DC's animated series Batman Beyond, Justice League and The Batman
One of my favorite parts of this movie is how effectively they show how full of shit the villains are. All of Baron Harkonen’s master plans end up backfiring spectacularly. Rauban acts like a tough guy but gets his ass kicked every time he’s in a real fight. The Emperor calls Paul’s father weak because he was moral but, as we see, the emperor is actually ineffective and easily influenced.
Remember that Jessica advises Paul not to paint himself into a corner with his relationship status. Like Virgil's Aeneas, Paul ultimately decides that he has bigger fish to fry.
In the book Jessica has an epiphany about how Paul is ascending in leadership and rethinks her life choices. She realizes that she and Leto cheated themselves of a lot of happiness by not getting married. Jessica actually advises Paul to marry Chani for love.
Ladies, Austin Butler (Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen) played Elvis in the Elvis movie. Lea Seydoux, French actress, from Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol, Spectre & No Time to Die plays Lady Margot. Paul distracted Feyd by allowing him to stab his shoulder while Paul pulled the other blade from his side and stabbed Feyd higher in his chest, probably the heart. Of course, director Denis Villeneuve is responsible for the film's vision and grandeur just like he did for Blade Runner 2049. Part 3 purportedly based on Dune Genesis is in development. Great reaction, Ellie and Michelle.👍
The book is much better, some scenes are not in the movies and some scenes and, people/events, are different from the movie, but you get more explanations of the Dune universe
I've never seen anyone miss the whole story as much as y'all, Jesus. It's like watching a film with your eyes closed and your ears listening to something else. Go watch mediocre films with basic storylines; this masterpiece is not for y'all.
it's only a political marriage on paiper with iruan to ligiment of the throne. chani can be his concubine. like his mother. in part one and two leto, jessica, his sister and others said that he can't marry chani and must use a political marriage. that's a common practice in monachys.
I loved the first part but I think the second part was even better and I LOVED watching it with my two favorite, beautiful reactors!! Best reaction channel on RUclips!!❤❤
His marriage to the princess is political. This is why he told Chani he would love her as long as he breathes. The marriage is for alliances but his heart belongs to her.
Hey Homies, there’s a RUclips channel by the name of Kristy Cotton that stole a bunch of your videos and claiming to be there’s, I’ve reported it but want to let you ladies know!
Greatest film ever made, some1 change my mind I will wait. Michelle is the only other person other than me to laugh when Channi blows up helicopter and she run off laughing its 1 of my favourite parts
Paul can't marry Chani because she's a Fremen and would never be accepted by the Imperium. Marrying Irulan is the clear choice. In the book, Chain understands this and accepts her role as the concubine, but the movie changes this in order for audiences to have a proxy and someone they can relate with.
Christopher Walken was not wrong though when he said “the heart is not meant to rule” -because “the heart is deceitful above all things and is desperately wicked. I the Lord search the heart and test the mind.” Jeremiah 17: 9-10
for yalls information paul is not a hero , he will do horrible things in his time of being emperor like kill 60 bln people in the holy war , although he's commit those things so the future in which humanity ultimately survive will come to fruition , his rule will be a lesson to humanity as a whole, and the marriage is with princess irulan is purely for political reasons , chani is his true love. on top of that the prophecy is just a story they were selling for a Loooong time to fremen it's not real , like bene gesserit said " the path has been layed" that means he had all the componets to appear as a prophet to the fremen but in fact he is just a foreign aristocrat taking advantage of locals to turn them into his minions to achieve revenge and the points i mentioned above.
One correction. Paul does not cause the killing of those people. He tried as hard as he could to not go down this path. It is the Fremen that go on a frenzy. All those years of being slaves and hunted "rats" caused the Holy War. Paul was just the weapon they used to get justice. Think about it........... Stilgar basically forced Jessica to become a Reverend Mother in order for Paul to be the Lisan al Gaib. He saw the opportunity to free his people and made it happen. Paul was just the tool. Same with "The ONE" the Bene Gesserit were hoping to create. Paul became what they wanted. Only was out of their control. Also remember. If you read the other books in the Dune saga. Paul started the process to save humanity. If he chose any other path. He saw that humanity would become extinct. So not the "fairtale" hero we are used to. But his effort did create heroic things to take place.
@@SalikCollins He will cause the death of millions to save the rest of humanity. You do not understand what "heroic" means. Do you know how many Germans and Japanese were killed in WW2? But we the victors, still celebrate our victory. And the "heroes" that made it happen. Sometimes the "real" heroes are the ones that make difficult and unpopular decisions in the name of the greater good. Herbert is famous for saying that Dune is a cautionary tale. But the quote puts the burden of fault on the followers of the leader. But in the sequela. Herbert lays out exactly what would have happened if Paul did not choose how he did. So, he was a flawed hero. Buit still a hero. He saves humanity. Can't get much better than that.
Well, I missed them because they were not there. at least for long. Stilgar forced Jessica to become a Reverend Mother in order for Paul to lead them "to paradise". Paul was being used. Not the other way around. At the beginning of the movie Paul did want revenge. But for the whole middle part he was trying as hard as he could to avoid the Holy War. He literally told everyone this. I guess you missed it. One of the themes of a good book, and Dune in particular. Is that the characters have a change of heart. They grow and evolve. Paul is not the same person at the end of the book as he was at the beginning. He realized there was more at stake than just his personal feelings and desire to avenge his dad's murder.
This looks similar to " The Mummy / The Mummy Returns" , it looks to have that Egyptian feel about it kind of like in The Mummy / The Mummy Returns which i also recommend you watch and react to , you won't regret it.

Chani is amongst the Fremen who recognises that the idea of the Lissan al gaib was manufactured by outsiders to manipulate her people. She wants the liberation of her people to come from her people not from the outside as the outsiders will use her people for their own ends. Chani accepts paul because he is humble and willing to become part of her people. Paul turning around and using the prophecy to take control of her people is something that goes against everything she stands for. Paul betrays her core principles, I think this is a much larger betrayal to her taking the princesses hand in marriage.
I am glad though that the movie still lands if you miss these details.
What Paul said and feels for Chani was honest and real. What he did to become emporer was simply necessary. He still loves Chani and she knows that.
Ladies, despite being what many would agree is the definititive adaptation of Herbert's novel, there is still much that was adapted out of the combined 5+ hour run time of Dune Parts 1 & 2. So yes, you have to read the book.
"Lasguns" cause a massive explosion when they hit a shielded object which is why they didn't use them on the spice harvester until the shielded ship was down.
Plus the fremen only have a few lasguns and they are very valuable. The second they start shooting the harvester, the ornithopter and soldiers will be attacking them, the fremen will die and those few precious lasguns will be confiscated.
In the Dune universes Noble marriages are more like business contracts. Love rarely enters into it. Most nobles have concubines (like Jessica) that are more like wives as we know them. Paul is only going to marry Irulan to take the throne. It is something I feel the recent movies did not really explain this. Also, Paul is basically a Male Bene Gesserit, so he has the ability to heal himself almost instantly.
hi, do you know where from the Homies, what country ???
"if that rock was that heavy, it shouldn't be rolling that easy"
I thought the same. It's funny how a detail like that can take you out of a moment
Paul still loves Chani, and if he was content to be duke of arrakis she would be an ideal bride to solidify his standing with the fremen.
But he's playing for the imperium so he HAS to marry someone from another noble house.
But it is absolutely him choosing power over her. Prophesy or not, the result is the same.
You are looking at it with modern marriage ideals. In this universe a marriage is more often for strategic goals.
The concubine like Paul's Mother is more likely to be the love of the male.
That's why Paul's Father had not married his Mother, His hand in marriage was still open for an alliance with another House.
Bruh
Yep... it's funny how people just can't grasp that. They think, "OH it's in the future! there is equality ofcourse" but don't look at history at all how civilizations literally rise and fall. Dune is basically humanity inheriting advanced technology of the future but adopting traditional cultures and customs of the past, all for survival and control.
Not even that universe, up until very recently and still in a lot of the world its like this
In the 1984 Dune movie, Usul no longer needs the weirding module. In this movie, no weirding module in sight. It is the legend.
I missed a few things from the 1984 film that I would have liked to have seen in these new ones. For example: "FATHER! THE SLEEPER HAS AWAKENED!" and, "Usul, we have worm sign the likes of which not even GOD has seen!"
The most intuitive comment was the one that "people do not have free will". Paul did not have much choice. It was about choosing the less catastrophic path.
These movies are fantastic, but defiantly read the books if you get the chance. So much more detail. They will help you understand this world so much better.
The first book is a masterpiece
He married the daughter to lend legitimacy to claim to the throne. To use a Game of Thrones reference, he would otherwise be known as a Usurper or KingSlayer.
I LOVED watching this in the cinema, it was an absolute experience watching it in IMAX! Cannot wait to watch it again with my two beautiful, Bulgarian angels, love you ladies so much!!❤❤
Paul can see the future but still did not dodge the slap.
Feyd Rautha was the movie for me. The Gladiator scene was nothing short of breathtaking, and Austin Butler's performance gives me chills no matter how many times I watch him.
Same.
Great reaction. But Desis, the Director was playing with the viewers. If you recall. Paul's Father was NOT married to Jessica. But they were eternally connected. Jessica tells Paul that he needs to keep his options open for a "strategic" alliance. Chani is Paul's love. He made sure he told her to her face. The book end so differently. Jessica tells Chani that "History shall call us wives".
GLAD THAT THEY ARE WATCHING THIS!
I dont get how people legitimately confuse the knife pull at the end lmfao
THIS MOVIE IS FANTASTIC!
Hoping Lia and Viki Watch This!
MICHELLE ROCKIN THE PINK BANDANA!
YES DUNE PART TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This film, Avatar 2, Spider-Man no Way home and top gun Maverick are the four favorites of mine of the 2020s, and so is the soundtrack to which is so exhilarating🙌🏼
Paul can see the Future!
8:21 Ellie chewbacca sound XD
In the Dune universe, lasers hitting shields cause a nuclear explosion. The Harvester was not shielded because shields attract and enrage worms in the desert, but the ornitopter was shielded because, since it flies, it didn't incur the risk of attracting worms. The Fremen knew all of this and didn't dare fire their lasers before the ornipopter was destroyed because they could end up accidentally hitting its shield and bascially killing everybody.
So they waited until Chani and Paul took down the ornitopter with anti-air weapons and then they were free to use lasers to destroy the Harvester.
33:51 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Legit the best commentary on this movie summed up in 3 words. The movie adaption of Chani only makes sense if 1) she isn't the daughter of Liet Kynes, 2) Water isn't a scarcity on Arrakis and 3) She just wants to wage endless guerilla warfare against the Imperium until......... They give up?? Your planet has the most valuable resource to humankind. No one is going to leave you alone and there will be endless conflict forever. Paul has atomic weapons and noble bloodline legitimacy. His path was really the only way. Book Chani understands that. Movie Chani doesn't.
They got to have a Girl Boss in every franchise. Book Chani is nothing like this scowling chick we see here.
@@technofilejr3401 here again, you are getting at the same thing -- why isn’t Chani submissive and obedient blahblahblah. Paul (in this changed form) is no hero, not a good guy. You obviously don't know that Frank Herbert wrote Dune as a tale against blindly following Messiah-types. Chani represents rationality and healthy scepticism. You painting her as some basically sour chick for no good reason, says more about your view of "the female role" than the actual film.
@@maryamkim1281 If you read the book you would understand the exploitation was mutual. Chani and the Fremen are not the angels you believe them to be. Seeing the bigger picture also has nothing to do with being subservient or submissive. Herbert's Chani is subservient to her people and father's dream of terraforming Arrakis into a Green paradise. Villeneuves Chani is an alien and disconnected from her own people, disrespect's their culture and beliefs, if she was true to her own beliefs she would've cheered for Feyd Rautha as he drove the knife into Paul..
THIS MOVIE IS AWESOME!
Great reaction, as usual Ellie&Michelle!!! Thanx
And, yes ladies... All your very good questions/confusions will be answered by reading the book Dune.
And, also read DuneMessiah, which will be the basis of the next film!
Paul is the hero.
It was Jessica’s love for Leto that made her go against the Bene Gesserit and have a son instead of a daughter to fulfill their “prophecy”.
So she decided to hijack the prophecy and use Paul to really make a difference. Paul being trained by his mother in the skills of the Bene Gesserit but with the morals of his father Leto.
The Bene Gesserit prophecy was to instill someone they could control, but Paul couldn’t be controlled. And Paul freed the Fremen and will actually bring a green paradise to Dune.
And the Golden Path he sets humanity on will save humanity from extinction (even though billions die in the jihad).
I'd more say an unwilling anti-hero myself :)
I mean the Fremen go extinct because of the jihad and the transformation of Arrakis so he was definitely not a hero to the Fremen imo. Maybe a hero to humanity as a whole however.
@@javi0313 they go “extinct” because he makes the planet a paradise and they no longer need to be these desert warriors.
They moved on. Just like we don’t have Spartans anymore because the need for their existence isn’t there, but they have there ancestors around. Same for the Fremen.
@@HanselLeiderhosen against their will tho, many Fremen began to realize the transformation of Arrakis would wipe out their culture and they began to question Paul’s religion. I think it’s sad that an entire culture was eliminated.
@@javi0313They Wanted a Green Paradise & a exchange for that…Is Water, so their beloved Sand/culture was the price The Ultimate Exchange. A Planet of Sand for a Planet of Trees & Water no More Dune.
Paul's marriage to Irulan is political. He does not care for her. Leto never married Jessica for the same reason. The final line of the book (which you should read) is Jessica telling Chani, "History will call us wives."
YES DUNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loved reaction as always. You should watch society of the snow. It's a great movie and I would love to hear what you have to say about that one. If you do watch it I recommend the original language with subtitles, the acting was amazing
Flag bearers are some of the toughest people in regiments.
If you really enjoy reading and want something slightly more challenging then the book is fantastic and definitely explains things much better but if you are satisfied with the movies there is no shame in just googling some of the thing you’re confused about. The movies are just fantastic as someone who read the book.
Hey guys a RUclips channel called Kirsty Cotton has stolen about 1000 of your reaction videos. I have reported them to RUclips.
While the Feyd-Rautha Joffrey comparisons seem to make sense at first, Feyd is much less cowardly and more competent than Joffrey. He actually comes extremely close to killing Paul at the end. I thought Austin Butler killed it in this role. I was legitimately bummed he died bc I wanted more of him haha
he married the emperor's daughter to secure alliance and that the empire itself will not go against him... and now the royal army will actually go by his side, you know due the marriage. we shouldnt Dont spoil what will happen with chani
and the knife trick was made for this movie and works great, just aim for not lethal point and thats it
watch late Night with The Devil . amazing film
The book is so much better, you should definitely read it. I've read the 6 books written by Frank Herbert, they're excellent but the first one and God Emperor are my favorites.
The Homies Awesome Video Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎
Excellent as always Now you need to start your Journey at DC's animated movies universe And with Arrow and Titans live action series both from DC
Also with awesome DC's animated series Batman Beyond, Justice League and The Batman
One of my favorite parts of this movie is how effectively they show how full of shit the villains are. All of Baron Harkonen’s master plans end up backfiring spectacularly. Rauban acts like a tough guy but gets his ass kicked every time he’s in a real fight. The Emperor calls Paul’s father weak because he was moral but, as we see, the emperor is actually ineffective and easily influenced.
Remember that Jessica advises Paul not to paint himself into a corner with his relationship status. Like Virgil's Aeneas, Paul ultimately decides that he has bigger fish to fry.
In the book Jessica has an epiphany about how Paul is ascending in leadership and rethinks her life choices. She realizes that she and Leto cheated themselves of a lot of happiness by not getting married. Jessica actually advises Paul to marry Chani for love.
Ladies, Austin Butler (Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen) played Elvis in the Elvis movie. Lea Seydoux, French actress, from Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol, Spectre & No Time to Die plays Lady Margot. Paul distracted Feyd by allowing him to stab his shoulder while Paul pulled the other blade from his side and stabbed Feyd higher in his chest, probably the heart. Of course, director Denis Villeneuve is responsible for the film's vision and grandeur just like he did for Blade Runner 2049. Part 3 purportedly based on Dune Genesis is in development. Great reaction, Ellie and Michelle.👍
Nobody, absolutely nobody, then Stilgar...."Lisan al-gaib!"
The girl on the right has Harkonnen blood lmao 😅
The book is much better, some scenes are not in the movies and some scenes and, people/events, are different from the movie, but you get more explanations of the Dune universe
I've never seen anyone miss the whole story as much as y'all, Jesus. It's like watching a film with your eyes closed and your ears listening to something else. Go watch mediocre films with basic storylines; this masterpiece is not for y'all.
Your dog is adorable !
To be a royal you have to marry a royal to legitimize his ascension in the other houses eyes. That's why he wants to marry the Emperor's daughter.
Who wants to see her reaction Chronicles?
it's only a political marriage on paiper with iruan to ligiment of the throne. chani can be his concubine. like his mother. in part one and two leto, jessica, his sister and others said that he can't marry chani and must use a political marriage. that's a common practice in monachys.
47:02, he killed Elvis...
I loved the first part but I think the second part was even better and I LOVED watching it with my two favorite, beautiful reactors!! Best reaction channel on RUclips!!❤❤
I think if u read the story u will habe a different view about Paul
you guys should watch the other scream movies
How did you watch the scene where the fetus opens her blue eyes and think she was dead?
Hey I'm pretty sure some copycat channel called KirstyCotton is reposting your videos
Rabban is a bad boss. Stilgar is my favorite.
You guys should react to the movie "1408".
His marriage to the princess is political. This is why he told Chani he would love her as long as he breathes. The marriage is for alliances but his heart belongs to her.
Geez i can't even find where to thumbs up or not
I'm not a fan of dune, but I have to admit, this is a good movie
Watch Jeepers Creepers Series 🦇
Hey Homies, there’s a RUclips channel by the name of Kristy Cotton that stole a bunch of your videos and claiming to be there’s, I’ve reported it but want to let you ladies know!
Greatest film ever made, some1 change my mind I will wait. Michelle is the only other person other than me to laugh when Channi blows up helicopter and she run off laughing its 1 of my favourite parts
Citizen Kane...sorry.
@@alanfoster6589 Nope
32:11 42:26
Can you react to kick-ass 2?
Great video.
Yay Finally Thanks you ❤❤❤❤
Paul can't marry Chani because she's a Fremen and would never be accepted by the Imperium. Marrying Irulan is the clear choice. In the book, Chain understands this and accepts her role as the concubine, but the movie changes this in order for audiences to have a proxy and someone they can relate with.
And remember that Jessica was also a concubine, not a "wife".
@@ItsMeBarnaby yeah but how does that get to her having kids with Paul? The change is understandable, but presents heaps of narrative challenges
@ItsMeBarnaby Can't do that without changing the plot and relationships of Messiah entirely. Book Chani is too fundamental to the story.
the book is definitely worth reading
Hello, pretty kittens.
Rebecca Ferguson is so dam fine
A powerful explosion is set off at the target and the shooter's end when a Lazer hits a shield.
I don’t watch reaction videos made by only fans girls
Remember people, The Path is Golden!
Just remember that this came out before and inspired star wars.
Promoting your only fans is crazy
Christopher Walken was not wrong though when he said “the heart is not meant to rule” -because “the heart is deceitful above all things and is desperately wicked. I the Lord search the heart and test the mind.” Jeremiah 17: 9-10
Doggo
for yalls information paul is not a hero , he will do horrible things in his time of being emperor like kill 60 bln people in the holy war , although he's commit those things so the future in which humanity ultimately survive will come to fruition , his rule will be a lesson to humanity as a whole,
and the marriage is with princess irulan is purely for political reasons , chani is his true love.
on top of that the prophecy is just a story they were selling for a Loooong time to fremen it's not real , like bene gesserit said " the path has been layed" that means he had all the componets to appear as a prophet to the fremen but in fact he is just a foreign aristocrat taking advantage of locals to turn them into his minions to achieve revenge and the points i mentioned above.
One correction. Paul does not cause the killing of those people. He tried as hard as he could to not go down this path. It is the Fremen that go on a frenzy. All those years of being slaves and hunted "rats" caused the Holy War. Paul was just the weapon they used to get justice. Think about it........... Stilgar basically forced Jessica to become a Reverend Mother in order for Paul to be the Lisan al Gaib. He saw the opportunity to free his people and made it happen. Paul was just the tool. Same with "The ONE" the Bene Gesserit were hoping to create. Paul became what they wanted. Only was out of their control. Also remember. If you read the other books in the Dune saga. Paul started the process to save humanity. If he chose any other path. He saw that humanity would become extinct. So not the "fairtale" hero we are used to. But his effort did create heroic things to take place.
@@donny1960 Paul literally says he will cause the deaths of millions in his name in the first movie. He's not a hero in this.
@@donny1960 thank u for clarification
@@SalikCollins He will cause the death of millions to save the rest of humanity. You do not understand what "heroic" means. Do you know how many Germans and Japanese were killed in WW2? But we the victors, still celebrate our victory. And the "heroes" that made it happen. Sometimes the "real" heroes are the ones that make difficult and unpopular decisions in the name of the greater good. Herbert is famous for saying that Dune is a cautionary tale. But the quote puts the burden of fault on the followers of the leader. But in the sequela. Herbert lays out exactly what would have happened if Paul did not choose how he did. So, he was a flawed hero. Buit still a hero. He saves humanity. Can't get much better than that.
Well, I missed them because they were not there. at least for long. Stilgar forced Jessica to become a Reverend Mother in order for Paul to lead them "to paradise". Paul was being used. Not the other way around. At the beginning of the movie Paul did want revenge. But for the whole middle part he was trying as hard as he could to avoid the Holy War. He literally told everyone this. I guess you missed it. One of the themes of a good book, and Dune in particular. Is that the characters have a change of heart. They grow and evolve. Paul is not the same person at the end of the book as he was at the beginning. He realized there was more at stake than just his personal feelings and desire to avenge his dad's murder.
This looks similar to " The Mummy / The Mummy Returns" , it looks to have that Egyptian feel about it kind of like in The Mummy / The Mummy Returns which i also recommend you watch and react to , you won't regret it. Im confident you will like , maybe even LO❤E the movie(s) The Mummy / The Mummy Returns aswell as this.
I look forward to watching it with you both , my two most amazing, beautiful,sweet , Bulgarian beauties and angel's that i have ever come across in the whole wide world.
Love you two real sweethearts , always have and always will. Keep smiling and laughing my two beautiful angel queens.
