>the Emperor was basically a Paul Atredies type character
A failure, who was so ashamed of what he did and too scared to commit to the Golden Path, since he had to let go of his humanity with the sand trout skin thing he allowed himself to be captured by his enemies as a hostage for decades before being unceremoniously stabbed to death by a nameless crowd virtually offscreen?

The Emperor was more competenet than Paul and he arguably didn't have prescience like Paul did. Althogh the Emperor still seems to be some sort of hivemind
