Top Comments of this video!! :3
I had an older sister that passed away but before that I remember how utterly hooked she was on Lynchs film and Herbert's world building regarding the Dune Saga. She'd always tried to get me to watch it but I was too little to really fall into it and let myself get immersed in the lore like she did. I decided to give it another try for her when the new one came out just because I'm sappy like that and wanted to give it one more go to see if their was something I'd missed back then. Holy...Sh*t am I obsessed with this now 😆 the fact that Herbert created this in the 60s with an entire world and religions and dang..just everything blows me away. To tell a story that spans that amount of time and through so many people and dynasties yet still never lose the focus and convictions/motives behind each personality and end goal is just amazing. I can totally see what she always bugged me about now and it's never to late to watch the entire saga unfold now with everything else that's due out in the universe especially thinking about how she would feel about the comparisons between directors, etc.

The thing about the Jihad is that Paul foresaw it via Spice-induced prescience and he wanted to prevent it, but could not. Even if he died, the Jihad would go on anyway.
Paul also foresaw the Golden Path, but flinched from it. Leto foresaw it and stepped onto it. Leto's death, Siona's invisibility from prescience, and the Scattering were all intended results.

One of the reasons Herbert wrote Dune was due to the distrust he had of charismatic leaders and how the people are fickle, manipulable and surrender their freedom (with the respective critical sense and necessary distrust to the government) to follow the various scoundrels that infest the global history.
The sight of JFK and the charisma he exuded - just remember the romanticism of his government and person that emerged after his assassination.
The best passage of the 6 books is in the dialogue with Stilgar in "Dune Messiah": Genghis Khan killed 4 million, Hitler killed 6 million, and I sterilized planets." What a magnificent "hero" Paul Atreides was. And how the followers of a leader expand the mistakes of their leadership (religious, political, etc).

It's really interesting to think how similar the Fremen of Dune are to the Aiel in the Wheel of Time book series. Both cultures are based in the desert, water is prized beyond measure, clans and family relationships are very important, honor and obligation governs one's behavior, and physical prowess in combat is a must.

Siona didn't really "develop" the ability to evade prescient sight. Leto II waited until one of his sisters descendants was born with it. He then, quite deliberately, let her cause his 'death', though it seems to have been more of a dispersal of his mental powers back into small fragments within the sand trout and reemergent sandworms.

I used to live in the middle east as a child and there was an event where my family and others would go into the desert, a good two three hours deep and set up tents for night out, you don't know real peace until you smell the sand at night and hear the gentle wind, it's an almost clean smell and not a single car in range.
