Comment on The later books are really something

Was that really in the books ?
As others said, not Paul. It’s weird as fuck, completely surreal. But it’s the most amazing book I’ve ever read. The transformation is considered weird as fuck by the characters in the book too, but it allows Frank to explore some truly unique and interesting ideas.
I don’t think I will ever again have a literary experience as satisfying as reading that book.
Dune gets weird toward the end. Then each book is progressively weirder and simultaneously awesome.
Don’t think we’ll get anything beyond God Emperor though :/
Villeneuve doesn’t even want to go that far. He plans on stopping once he adapts Messiah as Part 3.
Which is sad, but it’s a good concluding point - Paul is blinded by the Stone Burners, and leaves the crusades to it’s end, and as a fremen follows the fremen tradition of being blind, and leaves into the desert.
But then if he decides nah he wants to answer “what next” would be fantastic too
Pretty sure Denis has said he has no interest in going past the second book because of how weird it gets.

Not Paul, no. Leto II. on the other hand…

Also Leto the Second is Pauls second son named Leto not because he’s the second Leto Atreides after Paul’s father just add more confusion

He is technically the second person named Leto Atreides. Paul’s first son was named in the Fremen custom, which lacks surnames.

Who are those people i just watched dune 1 a couple of years ago and have aldready forgot most of it the movie was’nt that good

Paul is the dude in the picture, the Duke’s son.
Leto II. isn’t in those movies, he is the son of Paul and appears later in the books.
