    I think one of the biggest reasons why there's such a divide among audience's response to Paul is because his archetype isn't nearly as familiar with in pop culture. Paul is not a hero, or villain or even anti-hero. Paul is a tragic hero, and that's a very different thing than most of the discourse surrounding the character and ultimately what Herbert is trying to communicate within his work. The whole "Paul is good guy vs. Paul is bad guy it just depends on your perspective" perspective misses the point.
    Paul is very deliberately written as the Mary Sue of Mary Sues; he's raised from birth as a mentat, an order that represents all of the sacred aspects of the masculine. He's surrounded by alpha males who love and guide him. He's trained in the Bene Gesserit way by his mother, representing all the cunning power of the feminine. Paul's mother loves him and his father so much that she disobeys a sacred order of her own sisterhood. Paul is raised as a ducal heir and learned in the ways or war and politics. He then goes on to live among the most robust, resourceful and pragmatic people in all the imperium and eventually becomes their legitimate ruler after succeeding in all of their rituals and besting all comers. At this point the missionaria protectiva is moot, Paul has fulfilled all of the prophecies that no other person in the imperium ever could, he literally is That Guy and proves it. And that's all before becoming the goddamn Kwisatz Hadderach, the supreme being who can see in all places at once. The most capable human to ever live. And yet, even this supreme being is unfit to wield such monopolized power because no one is. The jihad is inevitable, violence sings its own song.
    This understanding of power is demonstrated in all the surrounding characters and subplots. The Bene Gesserit have the hubris to think they can control humanity and even the Kwisatz if they just patiently plan in the shadows long enough, the Fremen think they are ready to fulfill their dream of the "green paradise" which they do, but at great destructive cost to themselves, and so on.
    Herbert once stated that his favorite president was Richard Nixon as Nixon taught the American people to distrust presidents.

      I should hope that anybody who's seen the Star Wars prequels is very familiar with the concept of the tragic hero. In fact I've seen many, many comparisons online between Anakin Skywalker and Paul Atreides, and I don't think those comparisons are unwarranted. They both fit a very specific mold of a person who dedicates their life to keeping their darkest dreams from coming true, only to make them true through their actions.

    In the book, the Houses of The Landsraad accepted Paul’s ascendance to The Golden Lion Throne-That is why he betrothed himself to Princess Irulan. The Jihad began months after he began his rule.
    I guess for dramatic effect in the movie, the Houses spurned his rule. But it actually makes no sense. Paul would’ve foreseen them accepting his rule, this is why he would force Irulan to wed him. And why wouldn’t the Houses accept it? He was the son of a Duke, now the Duke himself, over a planet the Emperor had granted House Atreides in fief.
    If as the movie showed, The Great Houses had rejected his claim-Then he would have had no reason to go forward with marrying Irulan, and no logical reason to spare the Emperor’s life.
    In the books the true tragedy of the Holy War was that Paul, even as their prophet (of a false religion), even as Emperor, could not holdback his Fremen Fedakyn from spreading terror throughout The Imperium, in some mad bid to spread their religion.

She loves Paul, but he's no longer the same man, and she can't stand to witness that. I think that depth in their relationship has made both of them endlessly more interesting characters.

It wouldn't even have been that bad if this was the END of the story, but its still basically the Beginning so now they have locked themselves into CHANGING EVERYTHING ABOUT THE STORY FROM NOW ON, which makes it NOT DUNE.

    The third movie based on Messiah (the second book of the series) will be adapted by Denis Villeneuve to close the Paul Atreides arc of the story. It's already been confirmed and it should settled Paul and Chani relationship.
    In Dune part 1 and 2 some characters has been dropped and the chronology has been slightly changed, like Alia's (Paul’s sister) birth who was supposedly 3 or 4 years old at that time :
    She was the Baron Harkonnen killer in the original story, not Paul.
    These changes were necessary because of the movie's duration already longer than the average movie length and because Dune universe is too much dense for a simple diptych.

    The situation with Chani at the end did not follow the book (yes, there are multiple books). I think they did it they way they did in order to set it up for the next movie. In the book, after Paul defeats Feyd-Rautha and subjugates the emperor, he claims the hand of the princess in a political union allowing him to claim the throne. That's why Duke Leto never married Lady Jessica, his concubine, because it was important he remain available to marry for political advantage. The main difference in the book is that, immediately after claiming Irulan's hand, and thus the throne, he made it very clear that Irulan would lead a barren, isolated life, as he would never touch her. Chani would officially be called concubine, but in every way that matters, she is his wife, his only love, and the mother of his children. She knew and understood this, and she stood by him.

    A quote that went through Liet Kynes (Imperial Planetologist from Dune Part 1) mind as (s)he lay dying in the desert: “No more terrible disaster could befall your people than for them to fall into the hands of a Hero”.
    This sums up the character arc of Paul Atreides from promising proto-mentat adhering to the Atreides code of honour into the messianic leader nightmare of the Jihad.
    Liet Kynes in the book had a dream of terraforming Arrakis into a 'world fit for humans', where people could walk without stillsuits, open bodies of water and rain would fall. Kynes manipulated this into a religious prophecy for the Fremen to earn their acceptance, a prophecy Paul used alongside the Bene Gesserit implanted myth of the Lisan Al Gaib to create his rulership. It was both wonderful and really sad this was 'necessary' to survive the Harkonnens attempt to destroy any resistance to spice production. I was entranced by the ecological themes of Dune: a wonderful entry of real world science into a science fiction setting.

    Dune and Dune 2 essentially cover the first Dune novel. The next book is Messiah which is currently being filmed. Generally, everyone thinks Denis Villeneuve is filming a trilogy, but Frank Herbert wrote 6 novels in that series. Then his son Brian Herbert teamed up with author Kevin J. Anderson and continued the series, which now stands at 23 novels. Conceivably, they could be making Dune movies for the rest of our lives as well as our grandchildren's lives. But tackling the entire series is best left to some future filmmaker willing to format the stories as a long running episodic journey, similar to GOT.

  • @vagabond142

    47:33 The "original" Dune series is Dune, Dune Messiah, and Children of Dune (3 big books). It was then expanded to to God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, Chapterhouse: Dune. All of them were written by Frank Herbert before his death when he was working on the seventh book. These six books are known as "Dune Prime," "Classic Dune," "Herbert's Dune" and a lot of other names. The first book, Dune, has been adapted 3 times for movies. Once in the 1980s and it literally made no sense, once for a Sci-Fi Channel miniseries that is actually pretty damned close to the book, and once here with Denis Villeneuve. Dune Messiah and Children of Dune were adapted by the Sci-Fi channel for another miniseries which is actually really decent. Of interest, Children of Dune was James McAvoy's first headlining role that got him started on his path into movies.
    His son Brian Herbert inherited the Dune lorebook, estate, and all rights to the series, and working with Kevin J. Anderson, has created an expanded Dune universe that covers a lot of the lesser known bits, such as how the Bene Gesserit came to be, how the Atreides became rulers of Caladan, and the like.

    Dune was written in 1965. There’s 6 mainline books. Dune pt 1 and pt 2 that you’ve now seen in film version only cover the first book, Dune. The authors son (in collaboration with another author) then took over once the original author passed away to write 17 more (on top of the original 6) that are based on partial notes left by the original author, but these books aren’t considered mainline or canon for most, more supplementary. The 6 is what people are usually referring to when they talk about the Dune series.
    All you need to know is that each book gets crazier and crazier, so the next film we get will continue to up the ante.
    In terms of impact, Dune is to sci fi what Lord of the Rings is to fantasy. There’s pre Dune and post Dune, just like there’s pre LOTR and post LOTR. It was that massive of a game changer. We wouldn’t even have Star Wars without Dune.

    If there's a problem with splitting Dune into two films, it's that there are key points in the first movie that explain things that happen in Dune 2, but the movies were separated by almost 3 years. For example, it's explained in the first movie that the "Shield Wall" (i.e. the mountain range) protects Arrakeen from both the sandstorms (which disrupt shields) and sandworms. Hence, the use of atomics in Dune Part 2 to destroy part of the Shield Wall so Arrakeen has no protection against the Fremen attack.
    As far as the book series go, Frank Herbert wrote six: Dune, Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, and Dune Chapterhouse. His son, Brian, co-wrote the rest with Kevin J. Anderson. I've enjoyed these newer books (and am currently reading "Paul of Dune" which details the events between Dune and Dune Messiah), but they do not compare to the original first three.

    There are 6 original books by the original author and then a bunch of lesser books by his son. In the story of Paul there are 2 books, Dune and Dune Messiah, Denis is working on Dune Messiah's script now I believe. Those stories are the full arc of Paul and then expand further into the future.
    They made a number of tweaks in their adaptation from books to film. As a fan of the books, I think the changes were really good and not too impactful save one. In the books he tells Chani that he is going to have to marry Princess Irulan to secure the imperial throne but assures her that it is purely a marriage of convenance and that Chani is the only woman in his heart.
    Part of Paul's punishment for the Emperor is that he will marry Irulan but she will never bear his children. It is kinda messed up as you will see in the next film but it will be different because Chani and her position as a Fremen who see the manipulations of her people by the off-worlders, a strict non-believer. That is a pretty serious deviation from the original that will change the sone of Dune Messiah significantly. With the changes peppered throughout part 1 and 2, I don't think anything I have said about about the books will be 100% relevant.
    It will be interesting to see what Denis does in the next film and it really can't come soon enough. Figure it will be like 2026 when we see the next movie assuming Denis get the scripted hammered out this year and start pre-production. then does film and post-production in 2025 for a release in late 2025 or early 26. That is assuming Warner Brothers doesn't implode and that they give Denis the funding and latitude he needs to make the film he wants. I hope he doesn't break it up into two films because I don't feel like it needs it; we know the world and the characters, don't need as much world building. At the same time, I wouldn't be mad about another film if the actors are interested in being locked into yet another multi-film deal.
