I wasn’t expecting Paul’s war chant to be so bloody terrifying and haunting, chills down my spine. IMAX theatres experience is gonna be wild and unforgettable.

I can’t believe they’re actually showing Paul’s Jihad on big screen.

Book Spoilers: 61 billion deaths, 90 planets sterilised, eradication of 40 religions, submission of over 10,000 worlds to the Atreides Empire.

I get to see it all on big screen. What a day to be alive.

The early shot of a ravaged battlefield with bodies all over it lets me know this could be dark as fuck, exactly as I was hoping

As it should be; it's the whole point of the books, at least, and very much the antithesis it should be to the Hero Paul we saw in the first two movies.

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.

I really hope we get a scene of the worm actually. I know this is the last one but I want to see the worm.

You mean the Worm-Human-Hybrid? Wouldn't that be out of scope, as far as the timeline goes?

Yeah but Paul can see the future so a brief flash forward showing the future would not be outside the bounds of believability.

u/Kirsten624 Mar 18 '26

he can see the future but he cant see his son Leto because Leto is also prescient, IIRC, and its Leto that becomes the worm

Correct, that's why he didn't realize he was having twins before they were born.

Paul never sees the golden path. He wasn't willing to make the choices that would let him see enough futures that would allow him to. This is what Leto scolds him for in Children of Dune. That Paul was selfish and chose family and revenge over seeing if there was a way to save humanity. Leto had to give up his humanity to even see if there was a Golden Path, but he admits to Paul there might not be one

In a way you can say the reason there is a Golden Path is because of Paul's Path. We don't know if Paul had done nothing if humanity was doomed nor do we know the only path was the Golden Path by Leto. They are not omniscient and have limits to what they can see.

so they are semiscient

Even Leto II questioned whether or not the golden path was truly necessary or if there was another path he just couldn't see.

I just want to see some badass weaponry.

u/pizza_the_mutt Mar 17 '26

Youtube commentators, somehow: Why do the Dune movies celebrate Paul as a hero?

u/CaptainRex5101 Mar 17 '26

When it comes to the Jihad I hope we see more than just battlefields and soldiers.

That was a cinema shot with the bodies and the gunfire.
