Paul Atreides - Little Dark Age (Dune Meme)

This is parodying those memes that glorify 20th century dictators. Long live the fighers of Mua'Dib.

Unfortunately for you, Baron Harkonnen, I have already depicted you as the soyjack and myself as the chad.

"Father! The Sleeper has awakened!"

Gave me chills how Kyle Maclachlan delivered that line so perfectly.

“Look I’m not saying the Jihad didn’t happen, but 61 Billion is a little much don’t you think??”

Dune is warhammer for people who shower

[videgameCaster]

As someone who haven't read the book and was confused of the scene of Paul's madness and "overreaction" when he had his vision in the tent. I was like: Hmm, it's gonna be a war among countless wars, why is he faulting himself for seeking revenge.

Then that screenshot of 61 billions lives, countless planets destroyed and the fact that those are the most "conservatives" estimates... gave me a dreadful chill down my spine. Ok, that wasn't an overreaction after all...

Time to read the books!

Paul is the "stereotypical" hero, but also serves as a cautionary tale of elevating a single person into something more than human. With all his powers, he still flinched and didnt push through the golden path. Dune Messiah is mostly panned, but only because it serves to deconstruct his meteoric rise from the first book and is thus essential in the actual greater story of things. Leto II though is hard to imagine as the true hero since he subjugated countless humans for a long ass time. The true hero of Dune is just that - in order for humans to reach their *true* potential, humanity needs to discard the idea of a single savior and instead, cultivate and trust in individual goodness no matter how minute in the grand order of things.

Timothee Chalamet with the black coat goes hard af

Imagine becoming a messiah just to become the evil, the antithesis of where you started

[morski_ludak]

Both Kyle MacLachlan and Timothee Chalamet are very good. Lynch even said he never worked with such a good talented young man who is absolutely serious about the role and everything. The same are saying now about Timothee.

Alas only the studio who cut Lynchs 5 30 h movie into one crappy movie ruined everything. Lynch wanted 2 movies normally. The studio said 1 movie max 2h

"Paul Atreides isn't the hero of the Dune series"

...uh, yeah he is. Maybe not after book 3, but he's essentially the person who starts the cycle that ultimately saves humanity.

[jamesantonisenior]

“I wrote the Dune series because I had this idea that charismatic leaders ought to come with a warning label on their forehead: "May be dangerous to your health."
Frank Herbert

Tbh I think Paul is very cool and there is obviously nothing wrong with liking the character, just like many people consider God Emperor from Warhammer40k pretty cool.

[CodaMission]

Little Dark Age is already a term in Dune lore describing the period after the collapse of the first interplanetary government, when humanity was a disconnected mess

[marshallgrek]

Fun fact: theres was actually a family named atreides. atreus the head of the family had 2 sons, menelaus and Agamemnon, the leaders of the greek armies who besieged troia in the iliad.
