I can see how they got away with not saying any Arabic terms in the last movie, but come on, are they really gonna ret-con the whole vocabulary of the setting to avoid upsetting some cracker groypers?

    the first movie taken on its own could be seen that way but its setting up a second movie which leans more towards the former sense

      That's totally fair and I think tracks pretty well with the book.

      It's foreshadowed, but it's not until he get's his Mentat powers in the desert that it becomes clear how Paul's basically manipulating the Fremen knowing that it'll destroy him and them.
