Honestly, to me, its a red flag if anyone thoroughly enjoys this flick. Not for reasons most of you think though.

The entire premise of this movie is some underdog kid becoming the literal savior of an entire race and brutally killing two seemingly insurmountable forces of oppression (The emperor and harkonnen/sardaukar armies). A movie like this typically resonates with people whom are deep seated, grade-A narcissists. Everyone I have encountered who likes this movie is a completely self absorbed asswipe that thinks they are superior to everyone they encounter, that they are somehow “different” or “awake”. I don’t quite understand how this hasn’t been flagged as a right wing extremist coded movie, because it certainly is one.

Some believe that you must compromise integrity with a certain amount of dirty work before you can put genius to work. They say the compromise begins when you come out of the sanctus intending to realize your ideals.

The Fremen needed a Messiah as much as Paul needed an army. They both gaslit eachother into becoming what they wanted.

OP maybe while you're in between sucking dicks you should think a bit about how setting the Fremen on the path of a self-destructive space-jihad is better for anyone.

Gorden Fremen in the flesh .. or rather, in the stilting suit.

Pretty much the whole point of the story is he IS NOT an underdog. When Paul experiences melange first time in the desert with his mom its all over. He is beyond human or even God.
