Later Dune books were where the series jumped the shark. The author's son might have written a horrible fanfiction, but before that weird superhero powers the characters got and the entire idea of ruling by sex was so off the charts that the story was exceedingly difficult to take seriously. It's ironic how sexualy charged those last books were, if any new writer did that he would be called a juvenile horny guy, but Herbert is exempted from that because muh great writer. To be clear, I like Dune and the series, but let's not pretend it wasn't hilarious.

Still, it's better than mad robotic vagina with teeth and a man rolling down the hill while ejaculating. Hyperion raised the bar for hilarity in sci-fi so hard only a few people could even attempt to reach it.
