re: #85 William Lewis

Sounds like the first tine a production understands that Paul is not a hero.

Yes, I was discussing that with my spouse. Herbert thought that a populist “hero” was about the worst thing that could befall a people, and none of the previous attempts at his material got that. The 1984 version has Paul making rain fer Chrissakes.

This Paul becomes the genocidal tyrant of the books, and Timothy Chalamet sells it.
