I get the frustration but it’s still funny.
Comment on The later books are really something
Kachilde@lemmy.world 3 months agoIt’s really getting to me how many people are memeing Paul turning into a worm.
It feels like it’s a fact that was misinterpreted from one of those “7 CRAZY Things that Happen in the DUNE Novels - You’ll never believe number 6!” Videos. But because they haven’t read the books, they assume it must be Paul that worms out because he’s the Main Character, right?

I haven’t seen any of the movies or YT videos, but read the series years ago. Honestly, I forgot until reading this thread that it wasn’t Paul. Are you sure it wasn’t Paul…? I might have to re read. I do remember stopping at that book because I felt like the worming out thing was jumping the shark.

Paul’s son is the God Emperor, not Paul. Paul’s reign was actually pretty short, all things considered.

I didn’t overly enjoy book 4 myself but 5 and 6 were better. Opinions on this are quite divided on this though

I’m here to provide the divided opinion: God Emperor of Dune is the best book in the series imho.

Plot twist: I am your dad.

Well, technically the meme does not say he’ll actually do it. And as Paul had to option to go down that road, but choose not to, it’s not truly incorrect.

Little do people know the real main character of the saga died in the first act of the first book.
