There is literally 0 fight scenes in Messiah. The jihad is going on in the background. I don't like what Denis has changed so far but the movie could still be too kino for a mainstream audience.
There's a lot of potential for majestic shots of Timothee. Be prepared for more youtube sigma shorts
>As she advanced toward Paul on the distant throne, the Reverend Mother found herself more impressed by the architectural subtleties of her surroundings than she was by the immensities. The space was large: it could've housed the entire citadel of any ruler in human history. The open sweep of the room said much about hidden structural forces balanced with nicety. Trusses and supporting beams behind these walls and the faraway domed ceiling must surpass anything ever before attempted. Everything spoke of engineering genius. Without seeming to do so, the hall grew smaller at its far end, refusing to dwarf Paul on his throne centered on a dais. An untrained awareness, shocked by surrounding proportions, would see him at first as many times larger than his actual size. Colors played upon the unprotected psyche: Paul's green throne had been cut from a single Hagar emerald. It suggested growing things and, out of the Fremen mythos, reflected the mourning color. It whispered that here sat he who could make you mourn -- life and death in one symbol, a clever stress of opposites. Behind the throne, draperies cascaded in burnt orange, curried gold of Dune earth, and cinnamon flecks of melange. To a trained eye, the symbolism was obvious, but it contained hammer blows to beat down the uninitiated. Time played its role here. The Reverend Mother measured the minutes required to approach the Imperial Presence at her hobbling pace. You had time to be cowed. Any tendency toward resentment would be squeezed out of you by the unbridled power which focused down upon your person. You might start the long march toward that throne as a human of dignity, but you ended the march as a gnat.

>"Messiah was Frank's attempt to course correct because he didn't want the public to like Paul as much as they did"
>"Messiah and Dune at large is about the danger of hero worship"
Do we know how these lies actually started? I had heard this rhetoric BEFORE I read the books so I was actually biased to believing it. But then I read Dune, Messiah and Children and was left really confused because that was not the message I got at all. Frank wasn't excusing Paul's actions nor was he exaggerating or vilifying them, he was exploring them. Explaining. If the series stopped at Messiah, then I could see how you could have this view but if you went on to read Children of Dune let alone God Emperor I don't know how you can believe this
Anyway you can shut down anyone who tries saying this by simply pointing out when Herbert began writing Messiah. That is, while he was writing Dune. It was not a "reaction" to anything. Messiah was supposed to be in the same book as Dune at first
