He’s meant to be sort of satire, right? Not actually a hero, but a parody of sorts more like Hitler who is worshipped by millions and causes the death of millions more.
satire is one way to put it, i would say more of a warning from frank herbert about charismatic personalities who use power structures in society to gain power and do terrible things, their actions then feeding a cycle of tyranny and violence.
People that say, “Oh, dune’s just another white savior story” are kinda right. Except, its a deconstruction/critique of ‘white savior’ stories in a lot of ways. Like, the book’s theme is that what Paul is doing is fucked up. Though, its not overly stressed in Dune book 1; its not uncommon for people to miss that point. I do feel like the hammered home a lot harder in books 2 and 3; anyone who doesn’t get the point that Paul’s actions are shitty, won’t really even get the plot of them, and will probably just drop the series.
because the first movie didn’t really portray the point, a lot of people recently discounted dune for being a glorification of the “white savior” which is really sad because it is indeed a deconstruction of that trope and warning against people who try to embody it. just one of the inherent faults of adapting the huge amount of text herbert wrote for the story arc lol
Paul freaked out when he ingests the spice in the desert about seeing himself lead the crusade, he was angry that so many were killing in his name, I think you just need to know the whole story to catch it which is too bad.
looks good but if part 2 doesn’t really convey the point of the story and paul’s character then i will be thoroughly disappointed in villenueve.
