Somehow...Marvelous Videos has tapped into the recesses of my brain and used it to make their channel. I say this because they seem to cover almost every pop culture niche that I personally have enjoyed over the course of my life. From martial arts movies, to comics, to horror anthologies...it's scary how spot on they are with my interests lol

To quote The Baron : "Never trust a traitor... even one you create. "

[MrBynwah]

In the prequel novels he is made sick after assaulting Mohiam and that's why he starts putting on weight. Once he realizes that he won't find a cure he starts acting like a glutton to create an image that he decided to be fat because he didn't want anyone to know it was inflicted upon him. He was very vain before he was infected, that was why Mohiam chose that disease to give him, she knew it would strike at the heart of his vanity. The Bene Gesserit keep a few diseases latent through their control over thier bodies so that they can infect people if they need to. Biological weapons and atomics were strictly taboo but by carrying the sicknesses in their systems the Sisterhood could get around it because no one knew they had such control over their bodies they could cure themselves of pretty much any illness

In the later books . It's speculated that the baron gains weight intentionally as a ding of power and to inspire disgust ., and he pleasure in disturbing people. Also a sign of his greed . He is like jabba the hut, he is do powerful he doesn't need to move. , he also got a kick out of . Forcing beautiful people to be with his grotesque. ( beauty and the beast)

the spice does not fold space, it enables navigators to foresee obstacles in the flightpath.

The house rivalry was started when the Harkonnens fled an ancient battlefield and the atredies called them cowards.

The Baron was clearly sadist, but Piter was even more sadistic meanwhile Rabban was more bloodthirsty than him.

The Vladimir Harkonnen from the books was described as extremely fat, barely able to even open his eyes in his baby face. He had no twisted face features, he would have been too fat to see any jaw or bone twists. And he is by far the most sinister, evil, vicious and sadistic fictional villian Ive ever seen/read about.

[thugix]

He didn't just molest slaves; he preferred young boys/teens. It is also mentioned he found Paul attractive. He was almost assassinated by a male sex slave, that's why he had his nephew Feyd Rutha kill his harem for the plot. Of course this isn't PC so shouldn't be mentioned in a 30+ min about the Baron.

[dustinnadeau]

I was absolutely scared and nauseated by the baron in the 84 original... used to have nightmares about an evil floating screaming fat man!

[Sincere]

Crazy how harkonnen hate the Atraties when they have fought side by side during multiple wars agonist other houses

[mikepryor]

damn john wick and dune lore in one day. what a day to be alive

[chrisorcsi]

Vladimir Harkonnen looks like a white Abdullah The Butcher.

[simonsmith]

Great video, thanks.... I love the Dune story since reading the I hope that the second film this year investigates the place that women cannot go the key to Paul's ultimate power.

[chrisrapelstapskirappe]

I like how he reads like old news /war reel

[balthazarasquith]

What a marvellous video Marvelous Videos

[shanenolan]

Oh, I believe he was a master chess player in his youth and a talented singer. And he murdered his mother.

[AYEcorolla]

They really toned him down for the movie.
