Yeah, I like Chalamet but he’s definitely not old enough to play a Space Hitler

I’ve always thought the space Hitler thing was a pretty big misunderstanding or generalization of Paul’s character. Hitler couldn’t see the result of all outcomes and pick the least bad outcome in the same way. Paul could literally see the future and decided his path would result in the least amount of suffering. No human has ever been forced to experience that burden. I think he’s a fascinating character and the oversimplifications irk me a bit.

I’m not sure if you’re saying paul is better or worse then Hitler…
Anyway, I agree that it’s a bit of a oversimplification, but keep in mind that the original source for this comparison is Paul (/rather his author) himself.

Yep, I remember the line from the book. To me that shows self reflection/awareness that Hitler would’ve never been capable of. Paul understands that he does monstrous things and might be a monster himself. I think it really wears on him which is why the ending happens the way it does. There were ways out of the situation if he really wanted to go full blown space Hitler.
