The expression of terrible longing with which she gazed at Otheym strengthened Paul. Chani must never look at me that way, he told himself. — Dune Messiah.

Dune lore is fucking insane. I just finished the first book, and have concluded that Frank Herbert is a goddamn genius.

20,000 years in the future.

Matriarchal cult of eugenisist space-nuns with weird psychic powers

Houses that resemble the royalty of medieval earth, all still obsessed with power and profit over everything else

complex religions with clear inspirations of real-world present religions (specifically catholicism and islam)

Human supercomputers?? that are also assassins??

A prison planet that creates supersoldiers by killing the weak to filter out the strongest

the main villain being the physical embodiment of sin (gluttony, lust, greed)

politics. holy war. oppression of native peoples. false prophets. cults. drugs. worms.

and that just scratches the surface. theres five more books…

“Here lies a toppled god—

His fall was not a small one.

We did but build his pedestal,

A narrow and a tall one.”

goodhood, dune messiah

I've been waiting for Part Two ever since I watched the end scene for Dune in 2021, and it DID NOT disappoint!  Part two was one of those movies where I felt like I needed to just process all I saw a few hours afterwards.  The story was told so well and with such care for the source material, and the visuals were absolutely stunning.  It's one of those movies (for me, at least) where it didn't feel nearly three hours long and I wanted just a bit more at the end, especially given the way that Villeneuve chose to close it that felt like a punch to the gut LOL

The parts that really stood out for me were the opening scene with the eclipse (HOLY COW I COULD GO ON ABOUT THAT SCENE FOR HOURS) and the way that the audience watches Paul struggle with embracing the identity of the Kwisatz Haderach for most of the film.  I wanted to capture both of those parts with this piece, hinting at the internal conflict and the coming Holy War that's set up at the end of the movie with the blood on his hands.
