More than all of this, the Guild's capitulation to Paul caused the fall of House Corrino... trapping the Emperor on the surface and forcing the Guild to return the amassed galactic armada in orbit.

House Corrino had an Eye of Sauron? That is freaking sick. That is exactly what the thumbnail looked like when scrolling past on phone 😂

Thing is, based on the Dune novel, the Sardaukar knew the Fremen were their equal, and a serious threat. They, internally, knew they were slipping. But the structural circumstances left them in a position to do little to stop what was happening. They tried to wipe out the pan and grabben Fremen, and even tried to drive the city dwelling Fremen into the dessert. Because of the Guilds ulterior motives, they had no intelligence on the true scope of the Fremen threat. They paid for this with their empire.

I like how ‘The Butlerian Jihad’ had very little jihading lol and ‘The Machine Crusades’ is where the true Jihad begins. Those prequels fell short of Frank’s works though. Still interesting

[Emanon...]

10.000 years is not a bad run, all things considered. Especially considering what came after for 3.500 years...

[Chickennuggetsbd]

This is a great video, but god it just reminded me of how much I dislike the expanded dune lore and what they did with the Butlerian Jihad

[travismiddleton]

House Corrino is my favourite House in Dune. Great video! Your Dune videos have been some of the best to watch on YT 😁

[Flyboy]

Love the deep dive as always. It’s awesome learning more than the surface

Also the ads were hilarious 😂

I know Dune has ***tons*** of written material out there by FH and his son and others, I don't claim to have read it all. So I'm going to make my criticism from the standpoint of my girlfriend who has read none of it. Lets call her peer group, the Moviegoers.

From the perspective of a Moviegoer, Dune sets up "the other houses" to be backdrops. Even much of the world they show on screen is never really explored/theres not much depth to it. This has personally always left me frustrated with Dune, when compared to other sci-fi storytelling. Even without being overly technical like Star Trek, Star Wars does a pretty good job of exploring the galaxy as a whole, even with the story focused essentially on one family. And I think its that depth of visual storytelling which has made Star Wars the success it is. By no means am I arguing for Dune to be more like Star Wars. But it would be nice if, for example, on the upcoming HBO series they show more of the planets, more of the other great houses, what Bene Gesserit training looks like/do they have an HQ/how do they manage to infiltrate the communities they operate within? It'd be great to see more of the daily life of average people instead of them basically being little more than set furniture.

This has to be my favorite Nordvpn ad lmao. Really enjoying this video.

You should look into fixing the sibilance (the sharp S sounds) in your recordings. Every word with an S in it makes my ears cry. Maybe a de-esser would do.

[similaritiesendhere]

You missed a chance to talk about how House Harkonnen was founded by a disgraced member of House Butler.

I forget exactly how House Atreides interbred with the Butlers but Corrino, Harkonnen and Atreides are all distant cousins (Bene Gesserit breeding program).

[GafftheHorse]

'stirring words' Dune is principly about about political machinations the final Butler used the upbeat feelings of the victory to establish his Empire

[LaineyBug]

Corrinno wasn't the first time he changed their name. One male line of Harkonnens married into the Butler family but took their name instead because of Xavier and Abulard. Biologically, Corrinos are Harkonnens...

[owyrnuz]

Everyone and i mean pretty much everyone is a Harkonnen. The Butlers became the Corrino and the Butlers were a branch off of the Harkonnen as Butler has a Harkonnen matriarch.

[nemono-won]

Like the dune references while advertising Nord VPN 🤣🤣🤣

The novel Paul of Dune expands on House Trantor and the attack on Salusa Secundus.

[venkelos]

It just boggles my mind that one family/bloodline managed to hold power, seemingly uninterrupted, for over 10, 000 years? Considering various conflicts, and how "easily" Paul, and to a different extent, the Bene Gesserit, toppled Shaddam IV, I feel like that rates right up there with "there's enough Spice on just Arrakis to support both the massive Guild AND the many nobles seeking its health benefits, and life extension, which, if the average Padashah Emperor need3d to rein for over 120 years, for 81 of them, over more that ten millennia, means they were using a fair bit. It's always kind of weird that either the Emperor, or maybe the Guild, didn't just control Arrakis directly, and they doled it out to other Houses. If I were the Guild, I'd sequester the planet, and get rid if records of its location. We have most of the ships, and few to no one has made longterm trips, actually plying the spaceways, for ages, so it's not like most people actually "knew where it was" galactically.
