Sorry to be that guy

Duncan is the heroe of Dune

[–] Aphelion@lemm.ee 12 points 2 weeks ago

That's a much better Dune meme.

Bless the Maker and His water. Bless the coming and going of Him. May His passage cleanse the world. And keep the world for His people.

Moneo!!! I need another Duncan who knows when not to go behind the royal cart!!!

If you think Paul is bad just wait until you meet his kids

[–] VaalaVasaVarde@sopuli.xyz 25 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

The Harkonnen personality needs more boys

Maybe she was intersex

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

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Not just him, the Bene Gesserit knew the same thing, so did other factions. Would the others work? Unlikely.

Spice was finite, it was used to travel, once the spice ran out, it was only time until humanity was ended.

Humanity got to Arrakis without spice, it'd survive one way or another

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Spice had more than one use….

He's both and neither.

The story is about the dangers of charismatic leaders.

[–] sebsch@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 2 weeks ago

The next one in the heritage might not be too charismatic

All of the aristocracy sucks, the people are fucked no matter who's in power. Yes, I'm still talking about Dune, why?

[–] K4mpfie@feddit.org 8 points 2 weeks ago

Didn't Herbert specifically write Heretic because people mistook Paul as the hero?
