Dune Needed No Sequels Anonymous Fri Nov 10 15:55:18 2023 No.22700842 [Reply] [Original]

They all get exponentially more retarded. Dune is a perfect story in itself. Paul gets revenge for his family & becomes god emperor of the universe with implications that he's not really a "good guy" as he exploited a people's religious beliefs to achieve his ends. What more needed to be spelled out?

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 10 21:31:26 2023 No.22701855 >>22700851 Same. God Emperor might just be my favorite, either on par with (or just behind) the first book. Heretics and Chapterhouse aren't really necessary.

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 10 21:33:26 2023 No.22701860 actually dune climax'd after paul reaches power in dune messiah and did it again when Leto does god emperor. Still can't get over the fact leto was just a retardo shoomer now

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 10 21:35:34 2023 No.22701867 >>22700857 you should skip children

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 10 21:37:28 2023 No.22701870 >>22700842 You're mostly correct, but Asimov said the same about Foundation (I'm sure he was bullshitting) and that story was definitely not finished until the third book.

>>	Anonymous Sat Nov 11 04:08:49 2023 No.22702903 >>22700842 Dune Messiah is necessary. >>22700868 Dune is full of stupid shit like being possessed by your ancestors and literal ancestor memories. It's science fantasy not sci fi
