Sorry to be that guy
Duncan is the heroe of Dune
If you think Paul is bad just wait until you meet his kids
The whole Atreides family are an unruly bunch: Paul’s son Leo II is called the tyrant, Paul is overthrown by his sister Alia.
His preborn conscious sister who would try to orchestrate the killing of family members to ensure her rule? Yeah, she’s also a real peach
Who also has memories of Baron Harkonnen which isn’t supposed to happen because no Y chromosome. But whatever.
Jessica got one of her X chromosomes from the Baron, and Alia got one of hers from Jessica. Does that not work?
They did save humanity though. Death of everyone or death of a large portion. Everyone loses.
Someone is an imperial sympathizer. You just believe his golden path story? Sounds like spice hallucinations to me
He’s both and neither.
The story is about the dangers of charismatic leaders.
All of the aristocracy sucks, the people are fucked no matter who’s in power. Yes, I’m still talking about Dune, why?
In my head, Paul was a Messianic, Bhuddist, and Devilish character. The KH was bred to return humanity to its full potential of self adaptation and exploration rather than be restricted by the powers of prescience or reliant on machines thinking for them. Innovation had stagnated following the B Jihad and the over use of spice had lead to human evolution being controlled by the imperium.
I forgot where I was going with this.
