Why? I just don't get what's the magic. Some white savior failson that fails upward till comanding an army of desert dwellers trying to liberate themselves from colonizers while being led by a GoodColonizer(TM) because plot-need. And don't get me started with the non-need of scifi setting and the plotholes it creates.
Yes, and it was meh because of the reasons I listed.
Oh this misterious backwater planet were is produced the most valued shit on the universe but we don't know how it's made, we just buy it from these desert people because we are an evil all powerful intergalactic empire but we just can't deal with some desert dudes, we really can't put up a shitton of satellites taking photos of every inch of these planet to know where the fuxk the most important thing in the universe is mined or produced from.
We can deal no problem with interestellar travel, but some sand? Oh boy no that's impossible to deal with.
I'm talking about the first book, it didn't hook me to keep reading the serie, but I think in the next books the dude got power crazy as it was painfully "foreshadowed" in the 1st book, right?
I wouldn't say power crazy. I personally think it's more just about how people aren't supposed to operate at that sort of level of control.
Sure, he's a messiah figure, but I don't think the book is about how this is a good thing or rather just an exploited "prophecy" used to enact a regime change. You can portray something without condoning it.
Yeah, but the messiah thing came all so sudden imo, like a dude who escaped being murdered and found shelter with these desert people and boom 10 years later he's a blue skinned messiah cuz reasons. Idk I didn't get it I guess. The backbone of the story is promising
Dune is fuckin incredible and is my favorite book. Try the audiobook if you are having trouble reading it

Again, I'm very annoying about sci-fi in general.
Dune was about how Paul was good and only ever did good things.
