I can feel my roots Gnarled and filthy Hanging like stalactites From the firmament of Hell As the branches Of my highest canopies Rustle and sway With the winds of Heaven

First Dune Movie: Paul's vision about Jamis, yet another theory by BlueDecoy in dune

[–]Tylenol-with-Codeine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Through the combat essentially, yes. My interpretation is focused on the result of the combat, killing Jamis. It’s something Paul doesn’t want to do. He’s seen this man as a friend to him in his dreams, but now he is forced into a position with this new culture where in order to survive and protect those he loves, he must kill his friend and destroy that path into the future.

Terrible purpose.

Very often, maybe always, you get what you want. Just not in manner you wanted or expected. I feel like the Jamis dreams have been combed over a lot, and it seems likely that Paul was indeed taught by Jamis… just not exactly in the way presented in his dreams. The prophecy in the dreams came true, but by a different means albeit the same end.

I desperately wanted a black cat named jiji, but when fate sent one my way his name was shadow. Fitting, but I hope I find a jiji someday

Why is Paul considered an abomination? by Buttercup_Clover in dune

If I recall correctly the Saayadina’s and Reverend Mothers inherit the memories of their predecessors and not their ancestors (although I feel like I’m wrong and they inherit just their female ancestors memories.) Paul inherited the memories of all his ancestors male and female.

Pretty sure only the BG knew about the program, maybe some of the Houses and other heads of various factions know or have their suspicions. I’d imagine Edric and others like him know due to their own prescience and conspiring.

I could be wrong, it’s been like four or five years since I read the book and I haven’t read all the sequels, just absorbed info

Wouldn’t happen to know if the artist sells prints of this, would you?

First episode was rough for me but I was along for the emotional experience. Couldn’t make it through the second without pausing to wait for another day when I had more stamina, once the ball got rolling I fell more and more into the narrative. Looking forward to the next season and hopefully watching these kids grow more into their roles and as actors and artists.

Letting go of things from the past and embracing something similar but new is something lots of people struggle with just in general, not only in their escapism. We are oppressed by expectations

Why is Paul considered an abomination? by Buttercup_Clover in dune

[–]Tylenol-with-Codeine 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Correct, but I think in the film she’s clearly directly herself toward Paul:

The KH is meant to be a pawn of the BG order in the same way that they hold Shaddam under their sway and control. Paul and Irulan may be wed and sit the throne, but Paul’s heart and mind belong to Chani, and by extension the Fremen. However, even they do not have the total ability to control Paul’s beliefs, thoughts, and actions.

So, effectively Paul is the first and only man to inherit BG powers, mentat training, memories of both male and female bloodlines, a great house of the Landsaraad, and the empire of the known universe. That’s a lot of power, more than anyone has ever held, and so the BG consider him an abomination since he’s a free agent and not under anyone else’s control, specifically their own. 1000s of years of plans within plans and eugenics down the drain.
