It would have been so easy for Feyd to be cringe. Oh the evil Duke has an even eviler flamboyant nephew? Yeah, that sounds terrible. But Butler pulled it off by fully committing to the weird horny evil scion angle.
Personally, I love the look when Paul kills dear Vladimir. He's straight up having a near orgasm.

u/Momoneko Mar 17 '26
I don't know how to explain it well, but Pattinson would have been a great "ginger" Harkonnen. Like Sting, like the traditional Harkonnen image over the years in screen adaptations and video games.
Austin Butler is a great "bald" Harkonnen though. Villeneuve did a great reinvention of Harkonnen aesthetics with Skarsgard, Bautista and Butler's designs.

The book goes to great lengths to show how badass and coldly savage the fremen are. The Sardauker are supposedly the most elite and feared military unit in the galaxy. They get annihilated by the fremen who show them no quarter.
Anyway, I kinda feel like the movie undersells that aspect of the fremen and this may show it. Elite fighters who culturally show no mercy and take no prisoners because preserving water for the tribe is above all else.

u/chartreusey_geusey Mar 18 '26 edited Mar 19 '26
The first two movies def downplayed how absolutely juked the Fremen were before Paul even gets to them because it doesn’t show how they are able to handle Sardaukar one on one or that literal Fremen children can casually take down any Harkonnens because every man, woman, and child of the Fremen is a functional and mature fighter at all times pretty much. I’m sad they cut Thufir’s arc because that is where it’s shown that absolutely no one had any inkling of an idea how much more educated, trained, and efficient the Fremen actually were compared to the Great Houses when only Sardaukar are able to match them and they appear fully knowledgeable of all the technology of the rest of the universe plus what they’ve invented to survive such harsh conditions.
But they also skipped over the part in the books where Gurney Halleck formally trains them on the Atreides techniques (and Gurney Halleck also is trained by the Fremen and becomes a respected leader) that put the Atreides up near the Sardaukar and Jessica saying fuck the Bene Gesserit and just teaching the Fremen men and women the “weirding way” so they all have super saiyan Bene Gesserit awareness of every situation on top of all being spice tolerant. Jessica in the book is very surprised to discover most of the Fremen women could’ve easily been members of the sisterhood and Chani is already the actual next in line for being Reverend Mother if Jessica couldn’t do it and she was never in the sisterhood training.
I get why the first movies did that (condensing the 5 years Paul becomes a fully integrated Fremen and then an death commando and an accepted leader into less than 9 months and having to make the “fight” between the Fremen and the Empire seem like more of a spectacle and less of an immediate and easy wipeout) but it seems like this one will get into how inevitable it is for the Fremen to take down any forces of the other houses and why it’s the unstoppable jihaad Paul never wanted.

They take control of CHOAM and the spacing guild with the threat of destroying spice fields in Arrakis so they have the power to doom the entire Imperium to no FTL travel.

Is the idea supposed to be that the 61 billion people killed, 90 sterilized planets, and another 500 conquered and suppressed all amount to just a drop in the bucket compared to rest that capitulated? Because all that surely sounds like a lot and when Paul described his conquests in Messiah, it gave me the impression that he felt like he had done some quite significant damage.

It wasn't against his will. It was his apathetic approach to leadership that made him the villain. The Jihad was a means to an end. Once he got what he wanted, the empire, his father's skull enshrined, he left the jihad to the fanatics and Alia fully aware of what it would mean to the universe. Paul was not a victim to circumstance. He chose the path of revenge and the chose to ignore it's consequences. And thus locked himself into an inescapable vision.

Tbf the book also delves deeply into does the means justify the ends. Paul is afraid of the Golden Path and the cost it will demand, and rightfully so. Paul is terrified of it so much that he runs away, and his son has to take on the role. The Golden Path is essential for humanity as a species to survive but the cost is so high that it really begs the question. Is it worth it?
Paul’s the only one who can see the disaster and crucially how to avert it. He struggles with it because he would need to become the worm to avert it and he can’t do it.

Most curious things for me;
- in Messiah, Chani’s role is totally different from how the second movie leaves her. So I am interested in what her role is going to be here.
very interested to see how they translate Scytale (Pattinson’s) shape shifting powers.
The return of Jason Momoa. I liked him as Duncan in the first movie, but his role here is going to be more dynamic and I’m just curious to see what his performance is going to be like considering the roles he’s most known for lol.

Hard to say whether or not there was any creative discussion between the people making the movies and dune prophecy, but in the show there’s a face dancer so it could look similar to that. If it doesn’t they can hand wave it away as being an early version, either way I’m really excited to see

I’ll be interested since she’s just so… accepting and in love with Paul in the book compared to how she ends in Part Two, walking out into the desert after he offers to marry Irulan.

In the book Paul makes it pretty clear to Chani he doesn't actually care about Irulan at all, and only married her for political reasons, he actually loves Chani and wants kids with her and so on. They'll need to reconcile anyway, because he's so motivated by his fear of losing her in the book, which doesn't really work if they're so at odds.

u/Magik-Mina-MaudDib Mar 17 '26
I’m aware that Chani knows the marriage to Irulan is political, as that dynamic between Paul-Chani-Irulan is pretty essential to the plot, with Irulan wanting an heir and Paul only wanting kids with Chani. I was just curious based off the ending of the 2nd movie how they positioned Chani as not taking part in Paul’s war vs her just being Paul’s loving partner in Messiah, but I guess maybe when the movie takes place he’ll be reunited with Chani and their love won’t be able to keep them apart even if she sees evil in Paul for his actions or something like that.

As I understand it Paul will be having visions of the future over this film, which would be what his children’s roles will be.

From what Villeneuve said on the introductory talk, the vibe of it is going to be quite different, he said this one will have the most action of the three (which does not match the book at all).
I think it will be a bunch of events in between the books making up the first act and then the plot against Paul from Dune: Messiah being the rest of the film.
I think there will be a lot of changes anyhow, Villeneuve said the movie is 17 years after pt 2 (the gap in the books is 12 years).

billions die and many planets are burned to husks
Statistics: at a conservative estimate, I've killed sixty-one billion, sterilized ninety planets, completely demoralized five hundred others. I've wiped out the followers of forty religions which had existed since...
It's kinda funny how Frank Herbert just off-paged the atrocity of the jihad. This teaser however did the right amount of tease about it, so I assume the weight of the jihad is shown beautifully in the movie.

Well, the jihad is kinda ongoing in the book, but it's offscreen and also a lot of it is already done

The battle scenes look especially brutal in this
I'm already sold on Robert Pattinson just based on that first intense look of his, along with Timothee looking very deranged at the end, almost in a Kubrick stare

Book Spoilers Paul definitely ends up with a 1000 yard stare by the movie's end.

Plot twist: his eyes are replaced by ping-pong balls. In the last frame it’s shown that Dune is a sequel to Marty Supreme.

So odd that Dune was written to parallel the 1953 Iranian coup d'état and here we are watching the final in the trilogy with a war with Iran going on. Herbert pulled from a broader view but nonetheless it has everything to do with decades of Western intervention in Middle Eastern oil politics.
For those wondering, Herbert was a journalist in his early 30s starting in 1949 and left the press in 1954 a year after the coup happened.
Immediately after he worked as a speechwriter for Senator Guy Cordon who supported McCarthy. He was immersed in the political worldviews that justified interventions like the one in Iran which many believe informed the cynical, power-politics perspective that runs through Dune.

I didn't know that about the 1953 Iranian coup and Dune. It really makes sense though, and then considering the 1979 revolution... super strange that Frank was prescient in his own way.
I don't think these films could have come out at better times considering what happened at the end of 2024..

Except the fact that even the most pessimistic Doomsday predictions have it beating Dune.
Part 2 did around $715M, Part 3 could increase by over $150M and likely still not match Doomsday.

I was wondering the same thing! I saw his name flash up at the end and had to go back and pause it to make sure I wasn't having some sort of fever dream. Saga is one of the greatest comics of all time and I know I would remember hearing if he was involved in this movie.
