i think it's a little concerning that ppl watch dune 2 and don't realize that paul is a villain
#is it not obvious what he is when he makes the fremen attack the emperor under the atreides house banner?#the fremen just want to not have their planet exploited for a valuable natural resource and be able to terraform it as they wish#wtf do they care about paul's stupid egomaniacal war#he's not trying to destroy the empire he's becoming the emperor hello?#it's cleanly exposed in the first movie that the bene gesserit purposefully fomented religious myth about the 'messiah' so the fremen#would fall under the control of the kiswatz haderach which is a figure they created#i'm sorry i just lose my mind when people call dune a great movie (it's just good) and then seemingly don't even understand#what they're seeing#he's not even a well-intentioned 'white saviour' who's doomed to fail ala lawrence of arabia#(now that's a great movie and herbert's inspo for dune)#he's just using the fremen to achieve his goals which is control of the imperial machine#he's not liberating anyone lmao
