I’m about to finish the book Paul of Dune. It was after a comment from @Joanna Nanette (in some previous post) that i decided to go for this book after completing the Legends of dune and Prelude to dune trilogies.

Sofar, i find it a good book which contains several time periods in the life of Paul. The assassin wars in the young years of Paul were intriguing and fun to read.

I also found the period that covers the time between the dune and messiah books an addition to the whole story, as it shows a bit more about Paul’s struggle in becoming a tyrant. It also contains a massive assassin attempt which could certainly be added in the next movie.

Did y'all think they did a good job of showcasing them in the newest movies? Or were they too different for you?

I thought they were pretty cool and more ruthless and warrior fanatics than their book counterparts.

Also kind of showed that even though these brutal zealous warrior are the best of the best, the centuries of being on top with the Imperial House has dulled their edge. Also shows how well the Atreides and especially the Freman fight.

Do you agree or disagree?

Remember how the time skip between Part 1 and Part 2 was shortened from years to at most months? I'm thinking there would probably also be a shortened time skip between Part 2 and Messiah, or the story would take place much earlier, as Paul's empire is growing. It would give Denis a chance to have some action in the form of Fremen invasions, and from what I know about the Messiah book it would be relatively easy to move the major plot points (like the assassination plan and Irulan poisoning Chani) to a much earlier point in the story.

It's based entirely on the film, which doesn't respect the book's lore at all. First, Alia is literaly four years old (yup, you don't escape your pursuers and become a living messiah in less than seven months, weiiiiird??) and was captured by the harkonnens during the raid which killed paul's first son, and it is her who kills the baron with a gom jabbar; then, several more atomics are fired than that, at least five or six; also, all of the scenes where chani's mad are absolute bullshit. Probably more stuff is wrong but that page should def be corrected.

Something id like to know since I didnt read the books or gotten into any of the expander material yet but do any of the creatures(non human) of duneverse actually talk in english or basically a language the human characters understand, basically do any of them actually become characters and not typical animals?

All I know about is the one creature from dune messiah and sandworm hybrid leto.

In case any of the hollywood writers have this idea that no fans want adaptations of the stories past dune/dune messiah Im here to tell them I do want those adaptations whether be in live action or animation cause I dont ever hear good things about them but for me Im willing to give them a shot, like Im ready for the current dune story to be over that has been adapted 3 times I want to move on and see more of this universe so Im hoping some hollywood writer sees this post and considers it cause denis V. I guess dont want to.

Sadly though the cardinal rule of these types of things seems to be if it dont make enough numbers in the ratings or enough of a demand on social media and if it is too expensive then they arent going to consider doing it and just feed out the same old crap over and over cause its less risky.

As you may know, a new, as yet untitled Dune movie was set to be released in 2026. The Imax Corporation website had revealed it in a PowerPoint Presentation. However, the movie has been removed from this year's list of films...

Let's all hope together that they will put it back for this year, that it was just too early to announce it. And maybe the movie will not only cover Messiah but also Children of Dune !

Anyone have any hopes of what you want to see and not see in dune prophecy?

In the context of the original story, the Atreides were focused on consolidating their power on Arrakis, managing the spice production, and dealing with the political and military threats posed by the Harkonnens and the Emperor. They had no prior history with the planet that would involve storing nuclear weapons.

What's going on? While I was on vacation I decided to read more of heretics of dune, and can I just say, Sheeana is the best. IYKYK

Because Dune tumblr is a crazy place to be. Mostly the Feyd-Rautha fans.

If you are, follow me pls. No, actually I'll follow you. (@justaplaywright)

Okay so I'm so curious on how people think Denis Villeneuve is going to get Chani back to Paul after he chose Irulan. Like she decided to go back to the desert in the end scene (super powerful btw and I almost died). So what possible turn of events will gain her respect again? Or is it just using her love?

Personally, I'm a bit new to this fandom but I have some knowledge about Dune (watched the 1984 version and the current ones)... and I find Dune to be really interesting as a story/concept... on a minor note, why did they make Paul look hot with the new actor (or is it just me, sorry if it sounds weird)

On another note, my favorite character in the new movie is Chani she just cares about the Fremen a lot though... I kinda dislike Paul for breaking up with her and deciding to marry the Emperor's daughter... like, why not exile the Emperor and his daughter and just take over the thrown with the one whom you say you love?! AKA, Chani...

I'm new to fandom as a whole, but not quite new to Dune. I love reading the books, especially the later ones in the series because they deserve more attention.

This is really controversial in my opinion but my favorite book is God emperor of Dune. I'm currently reading Heretics though. The controversial part is the fact that I love Siona Atreides with the whole of my heart. Sure she's arrogant and off-putting, but not enough for me to not warrant some love. She went out in a desert with a worm, of course I'd be the same.

Anyway, I fell in love with the fandom because of the soundtrack. Who didn't, am I right?

Thanks for having me! <3

Y'all probably don't know me, but I have been a Dune fan for quite some time now, but I have avoided joining the wiki for fear of spoilers for Dune Part 2. However, I have watched it (and loved it), so hopefully this place will be a little more active than it has recently.

I must not be inactive.

Inactivity is the wiki-killer.

Inactivity is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I will face the users.

I will permit the users to pass over and through me.

And when they have become inactive I will turn the posts to see their path.

Where the users were on the wiki, there will be nothing

Only I will remain.
