  You mean Leto II? That’s not till the end of children.

  Messiah is him loosing is eyes and walking around with holes in his face creeping people out.

    I’m reading God Emperor for the first time right now. It’s wild.

      Hope you’re enjoying it, it’s my favourite of the series but I enjoy the philosophy pondering in that book. I can see why it’s not for many readers though, and if Dune was hard to film I couldn’t imagine trying to do that book without voiceovers of Leeto for more runtime than most studios and viewers would like.

        GEoD is my personal favourite too.

        There’s just something about how much weirder it is.

        My absolute favourite bit is when Leto is surprised by Duncan’s lasgun. Of course a prescient being would love surprises.

      Just finished the re-read of God Emperor and am now onto heretics. I’m here to tell you that it just keeps getting weirder. And, oddly, hornier.

        Last book is even hornier.

      One of my favorite comments about these movies I’ve ever seen is “Now do God Emperor, you cowards.” Lmao

  Dune Messiah has a lot going for it, like the inner workings of palace intrigue and some fantastic elements of world-building (a prime example being the Tleilaxu and their biological tech).
  There’s also Irulan becoming a key character, her Bene Gesserit POV has a ton and a half of cinematic potential, especially with Florence Pugh at the helm.

  But how do you make that Paul and Chani arc satisfying for broad audiences? Also and maybe particularly for reader fans, with how much Denis changed Chani’s character from the first book. And even though Paul is galactic emperor, the scale of the story and events does feel smaller than in the first book, there are no new true paradigm shifts.

  Things don’t get swashbuckling and truly epic again until Children Of Dune, which I loved.

    “Swashbuckling” immediately made me think of the scene where ::: Spoiler Duncan free climbs the wall as the procession approaches :::
