00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:28.800
Thanks, guys.
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:33.679
Alright, so I've seen the trailer.
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:34.960
It's incredible.
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:37.840
Now let's break down what we see.
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:38.640
Right?
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:41.920
So we see Paul and Chani.
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:45.679
And Johnny appears to be pregnant.
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:54.719
Now, first of all, this channel is a channel for people that have read the Dune books mostly, or at least you know what happens in the Dune books.
00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:59.280
I've done hours and hours and hours of content breaking down the Dune series.
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:06.799
So for my trailer breakdown right now, we are going to do we are gonna talk about things that happen in the book.
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:12.319
So we can compare what we're seeing in this in this trailer to what we know happens in the book.
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:14.079
So just a heads up.
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:19.200
So if you want to totally avoid spoilers, you might be you might want to find a different video to watch.
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:25.680
So in the book, Paul and Chani eventually have twins.
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:29.519
And it's interesting because this is something that Paul doesn't foresee.
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:34.079
Paul only ever foresaw one child, not two.
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.879
So this is a very this is a very interesting twist at the end of Dune Messiah.
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:48.319
And one of them is named Leto, for Paul's late father, and the other is named Ganema, which means a spoil of war.
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:57.519
And of course, Ganema is actually the one who much later on goes on to continue the Atreides bloodline.
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:07.359
Based on what I'm seeing in this trailer, we're dealing with a long stretch of time here, because you can tell by the way characters look different in certain scenes versus others.
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:14.639
Uh, in the scene in the tent, this to me strikes me as a younger Paul and a younger Zendaya.
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:24.159
Now, in the book, Dune Messiah, we know that Paul and Zendaya tried many, many times to have children and failed over and over and over and over again.
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:28.479
So it is possible that the scene where they're laying in the tent is an earlier scene.
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:42.879
This is a more optimistic, younger Paul and a more optimistic, younger Chani before they are kind of ruined by the war and ruined by what it actually means for Paul to be the leader of the Imperium.
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:48.479
We get shots of, you know, Paul leading what appears to be a very brutal war.
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:50.240
This is the jihad.
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:58.159
This is the reign of death that the Frimen spread across the Imperium after Paul rose to power.
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:01.120
The thing is, in the book, it doesn't really show that.
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:03.039
It just kind of tells you that it happened.
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:06.800
Now I think Villeneuve will definitely show some of these things.
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:12.560
Now, what I'm really seeing is I'm I'm seeing I'm kind of seeing three eras just based on the looks of things.
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:30.319
I'm seeing like a younger Paul, I'm seeing Paul a little bit older, like in the grips of the war, like really in the thick of it, and I'm seeing Paul even older with the shaved head, which may be the furthest that the main storyline pushes.
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:44.240
We might get a peek into the further futures, but I don't think that the plot is necessarily gonna move into the plot of children of Dune, just because I don't see very much evidence for that in this trailer right now.
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:50.479
But what we are seeing is 100% the main elements of the Dune Messiah plot, which gets me very excited.
00:03:50.639 --> 00:04:02.639
We've got Robert Pattinson as SkyTale, and some people are confused about SkyTale, and I think that's because there are two different Sky Tales that appear in the Dune book series, but they're two different characters.
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:09.199
You have the Face Dancer Sky Tale that appears in Dune Messiah, and then you have the master Sky Tale that appears later.
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:14.800
In Tlaylaxu's society, the face dancer class is kind of like a sub-class.
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.079
They're not considered on the same level as everybody else.
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:23.199
They are a subservient race inside of the Tlelaxu civilization.
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:29.279
So, Dune Messiah, Skytail, different character from Heretics of Dune, Skytail.
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.079
Now, there's a lot of interesting things about Face Dancers.
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:40.959
They're actually really huge, especially in like the later plot line of the Dune books, in this really weird way that I've talked about multiple times, but we don't need to get into that.
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:52.720
But basically the function that Skytail plays in this movie is that he's essentially being used as a tool of the Tlelaxu in their part in trying to undo Paul.
00:04:52.879 --> 00:05:00.720
And also, speaking of tools of the Tlaylaxu, we also see in this trailer the appearance of hate.
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:05.920
And it looks like he's got the gola eyes, the silver eyes.
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:13.920
Now, hate is of course a clone, so to speak, or a gola of Dunkin' Idaho.
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:14.480
Right?
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:19.600
And the distinct difference between a gola and a clone in the Dune universe, it's not really that much of a distinction.
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:24.879
It's just that the cells are taken from someone after they are they're already dead.
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:28.240
So Gola, they've been brought back from the dead.
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:35.680
And Duncan Idaho has been brought back for the first time in Dune Messiah.
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:40.639
Now, of course, the Tslexu have not done this for no reason.
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:47.759
They've done this for a very specific reason, and obviously it is to hurt Paul in some way.
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:50.319
So I'm curious to see Vilno's version of that.
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:52.800
I'm very, very excited for this plot line.
00:05:53.759 --> 00:06:04.800
There's a really cool part in this trailer where Paul is talking about how his enemies are gathering all around him, and they show the Princess Irulan and the Benny Gesserit, which awesome shot.
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:09.279
But no shot of the Reverend Mother and Guy's Helemo Hayam, who plays a major role in Dune Messiah.
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:11.040
Maybe they'll nav cut her.
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:12.000
We'll see.
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:20.560
And they also show Skytail, and they also show what looks like it could be Edric.
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:23.680
And this is a really interesting design.
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:32.160
We only see like the outer casing that he's in, but it looks kind of similar to the proto-guild navigators that we see in Dune Part 1.
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:39.120
But you can tell that whatever is inside of this tank is much more huge and much more developed.
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:54.079
Now, the thing about guild navigators is that they are human people that essentially mutate themselves through spice to be able to navigate through outer space using the Holtzman engines to you know propel them, right?
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:57.920
So you got the Holtzman engine, that engine folds space.
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:06.480
But without a system that can look out into space and see where obstacles are, that is a very, very dangerous process.
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:11.680
And because they can't use computers to calculate this, they need a prescient mind.
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:14.319
And that's the really cool thing about guild navigators.
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:23.120
They have a kind of prescience that is similar to Paul's, but not quite the same, and probably not as powerful as Paul's.
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:33.519
But what happens, interestingly enough, is when a guild navigator is kind of present doing their thing, it blocks Paul because oracles block other oracles.
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:45.759
So this whole meeting that uh Irillon and Skytale and the navigator are having may be obscured because of that guild navigator being present.
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:48.720
That's the thing about Doom Messiah.
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:54.480
It shows how hard it is to rule an Imperium of all of these planets.
00:07:55.199 --> 00:08:01.759
Even a prescient person, someone that can literally see the future, can't really do it effectively.
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:11.680
There's so much death, there's so much violence and war and loss and pain and suffering on all fronts, and nobody can stop it.
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:12.639
Really?
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:20.160
And I 100% believe that this movie is going to have a huge anti-war message.
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:30.319
I think that's what Doom Part 2 is kind of like hinting at, but this one definitely seems like we're going with like the war kind of just sucks for everybody involved vibe.
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:32.240
That's what the book says to me.
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:34.879
That's what this movie is kind of saying to me.
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:40.960
And based on some things that Vilnoff himself has said, I think that is definitely gonna be the vibe here.
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:46.960
And Vilnoff has also said that this is a very, very different movie from the first two.
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:52.559
Do not go into this expecting the same movie as the second one or the same movie as the first one.
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:55.519
I actually think that the second one is quite different from the first one.
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:56.960
They're both quite distinct.
00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:00.480
I think all of the Dune movies are gonna have a distinct feeling.
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:07.279
But this one, similar to the book Doom Messiah, is gonna be sadder.
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:10.639
And I can already tell from the trailer that it's gonna be much more introspective.
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:15.279
It's gonna be probably quieter, darker, somber.
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:24.080
It's going to deconstruct a lot of the things that were kind of built up in the first two movies, and that's what the book does.
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.320
And that's I really hope this does this as well.
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:35.200
Because I think that as always, people have developed this kind of relationship to the character of Paul in the mainstream, right?
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:38.159
People kind of love this character now, right?
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:42.720
People wanted to see him rise to the top of the Imperium.
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:47.120
People wanted to see him conquer the Emperor and avenge his dad.
00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:50.639
That's why these movies have been so incredibly popular, I think.
00:09:50.879 --> 00:10:02.559
And if this movie does the job it's supposed to do, then it's gonna force the audiences to confront the consequences of everything they kind of cheered for, which is what Frank Herbert wanted to do.
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:07.360
This is literally what Frank Herbert said that he wanted to do in Dune Messiah, right?
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:10.879
Because it's not this typical like victory lap, you know.
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:14.240
This is not just like, oh, I'm the king now and I'm having a great time.
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:27.840
It really takes that myth of Paul Atreides, you know, that the first two films kind of help build in a way, like if you're not watching it deeply enough, you might like go along with it and think, oh yeah, he is a god, but he he's not, right?
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.360
So you got like I said, you got the jihad killing billions.
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:35.600
Paul is prescient, but prescience is a trap, right?
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:41.200
It he's in the trap of prescience, um, because to know the future is to be trapped by it.
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:49.120
Dune Messiah is supposed to dismantle everything Dune built, and I'm very curious to see how mainstream audiences react to this.
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:56.240
Because the people that have been here waiting on these movies since 2018 already know.
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:09.919
Like we already know what's coming, but I think normal people that are just expecting like a normal end to a trilogy might come into this and you know, kind of dare I say, be crushed.
00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:12.000
But that is the point, isn't it?
00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:18.240
You needed to be crushed because you put too much faith in a flawed human.
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:38.960
If you watch my ultimate guide to Dune Messiah, I open with a quote from Dune author Frank Herbert, and he says, I wrote the Dune series because I had this idea that charismatic leaders ought to come with a warning label, may be dangerous to your health.
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:45.919
And then he goes on to ask the question, why don't people question their leaders?
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:53.519
People will let a charismatic leader lead them into straight up hell, straight up into the pits of hell.
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:56.799
With no questioning whatsoever.
00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:59.120
And that is what Frank Herbert was getting at.
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:00.720
Why this happens.
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:06.480
One character that I'm going to be watching very closely in this movie is Stilgar.
00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:14.720
Because Stilgar has a very interesting journey throughout the Dune books, throughout those three first Dune books.
00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:19.519
Because he goes from thinking, oh, could this boy be the one?
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:23.519
To Dune Messiah, like fully believing.
00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:24.960
Fanatic, right?
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:28.320
He might have some questions, but he fully believes.
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:35.440
He believes to the point where he doesn't even understand why there are even why why there are even limits on Paul's power.
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:38.799
He doesn't understand that Paul is just a guy that has some abilities.
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:43.039
To Stilgar, this is this is this is Lisan al-Gaim.
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:44.639
This is the Messiah.
00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:47.120
And that is that is the way a lot of people see Paul.
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:49.840
That is the way a huge portion of people see Paul.
00:12:50.159 --> 00:13:03.120
But over the course of time, you see how f Stilgar kind of goes to this person that believes really intensely, to someone that actually sees eventually that this is a human man with flaws.
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:09.759
And it's it by Children of Dune, the character Stilgar has gone through such an immense change.
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:20.080
And I'm very curious to see if there is gonna be some, you know, hints at that happening over the course of this movie, which is gonna take place, I predict, over years.
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:24.720
Villeneuve has already said that there is a 17-year time jump, so that is significant.
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:33.519
Another character that I'm gonna be watching very closely is, of course, Saint Alia of the Knife, Saint Alia of the Knife, whatever you want to call her.
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:39.039
I love this character, one of the coolest, most interesting characters in the entire Dune series.
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:41.200
I'm so happy that we get to see her on screen.
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:45.039
I love, love Anya Taylor Joy as an actress.
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:47.600
I've loved so many things that she's been in.
00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:49.840
Queen's Gambit was amazing.
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:53.200
I loved the menu, I loved her in Furiosa.
00:13:53.360 --> 00:14:00.159
I this actress can do no wrong, in my opinion, and she's perfect as Saint Aliyah of the knife.
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:02.879
And we got some really cool shots of her in this movie.
00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:09.919
Like, the thing about Alia is that she'll she'll absolutely just do anything for Paul.
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:14.559
If you threaten Paul, she's coming for your throat.
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:20.960
She's so cool, and she's also kind of worshipped by people on Arrakis as this goddess.
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:23.279
She's the sister of Paul Atreides.
00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:28.159
The lady Jessica also has this kind of religious place as well.
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:31.919
You know, she kind of has religious reverence as well as the mother of God.
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:43.039
But the thing is, Jessica and Alia have a very strained relationship because Jessica's afraid of her.
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:45.519
Jessica's afraid of her own daughter.
00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:50.240
And we don't fully understand this until the book Children of Toon.
00:14:50.399 --> 00:15:02.080
Uh but Jessica basically after this all goes down, when she can leave Arrakis, Jessica leaves Arrakis and she leaves Alia on Arrakis.
00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:06.559
Jessica goes back to Kaladan and she's like, Here, Paul, you raise her.
00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:17.600
And Alia, Alia, kind of has this resentment for Jessica that entire time because she was abandoned by her mother, who looked at her and said, What the hell did I create?
00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:21.679
You know, because Alia is what we call an abomination.
00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:25.200
Or at least that's what the Benny Jezer would call an abomination, right?
00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:43.679
So if you're pregnant and you're oversaturated with spice, just oversaturated, it can potentially, with the right genetics, let's be clear, with the right genetics, because these are special people that have been like bred by the sisterhood for purposes, let's just say.
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:48.000
And with certain genetics, it can awaken other memory.
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:56.000
So as you see in the first in Doom Part 2, the talking fetus, Alia, little Alia is awakened with all of the memories of her ancestors.
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:59.440
So she's not just little Alia, she's also her mom.
00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:05.440
She's also a bunch of other people, like going back countless generations.
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:14.159
So this freaked out Jessica because the Benny Gesserit, when when they see abominations, they're supposed to kill them for some reason.
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:20.320
I mean, if we're going the in the Doom TV show, in the Doom prophecy, they kind of are developing that idea.
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:23.679
They're trying to give a reason for why that is, why they're so afraid of abominations.
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:27.840
But speaking strictly to books, we don't know exactly the reason.
00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:31.840
We don't know exactly if there was a specific case that caused them to be afraid.
00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:36.000
We just know that abominations to them, we don't we don't do that.
00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:37.679
We kill abominations immediately.
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:47.120
That's why in the first book, when the Reverend Mother Guys Helen O'Hyam sees little Aaliyah standing there, she's like, kill that thing, that is an abomination.
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:53.039
That scene doesn't happen in the movie, of course, because Alia isn't born yet in Dune Part 2.
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:56.639
But in the book, she's literally walking around as this talking little toddler.
00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:08.240
I will say though that the main fear that the Benny Jesser have with abominations is the fact that they can become possessed by an ancestral memory, right?
00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:16.480
So they can become overwhelmed by a dominant personality, personality from the past, which you know can lead to all sorts of problems.
00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:18.720
It's like a form of psychosis, basically.
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:21.599
Well, I have to say this trailer was amazing.
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:24.079
Like it was everything that I could have hoped for.
00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:34.319
Uh, this is titled Teaser Trailer, and I feel like we got shown a lot, so when we see the real trailer, holy crap, I'm I'm really excited for what we're gonna get to see.
00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:39.279
Um, you know, you all know that Dune is like one of my favorite book series of all time.
00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:43.599
I am absolutely in love with Vilnob's take on the series.
00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:47.039
It's incredibly respectful to the source material.
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:48.640
Can I just reiterate that?
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:52.000
Incredibly respectful to the source material.
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:55.200
Um David Lynch had his own vision for Dune.
00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:58.480
He did not want to really do the source material, and he got what he got.
00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:06.240
I imagine that if there was less studio interference, we would have gotten a more David Lynchian movie, but it still would not have been Dune.
00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:12.000
Villeneuve, you know, is making a Villeneuve movie, but he's also making Dune, right?
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:14.559
These movies have the soul of Dune.
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:24.319
And I find that, you know, people nitpick certain things, but they're such fantastic adaptations when it really all comes down to it, right?
00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:30.000
We couldn't ask for a more epic adaptation of Dune.
00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:34.559
We like couldn't ask for one, and you know, that's I just really, really appreciate it.
00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:37.599
Alright, so that's my initial breakdown of this trailer.
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:42.559
I will be discussing it later sometime this week on a live stream with Alt Shift X.
00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:44.640
So you guys stay tuned in for that.
00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:51.599
We're gonna dive into it even more and see what other details we can kind of pull out of this whole thing.
00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:53.440
Thanks so much for watching, guys.

Thanks, guys.
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:33.679
Alright, so I've seen the trailer.
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:34.960
It's incredible.
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:37.840
Now let's break down what we see.
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:38.640
Right?
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:41.920
So we see Paul and Chani.
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:45.679
And Johnny appears to be pregnant.
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:54.719
Now, first of all, this channel is a channel for people that have read the Dune books mostly, or at least you know what happens in the Dune books.
00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:59.280
I've done hours and hours and hours of content breaking down the Dune series.
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:06.799
So for my trailer breakdown right now, we are going to do we are gonna talk about things that happen in the book.
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:12.319
So we can compare what we're seeing in this in this trailer to what we know happens in the book.
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:14.079
So just a heads up.
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:19.200
So if you want to totally avoid spoilers, you might be you might want to find a different video to watch.
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:25.680
So in the book, Paul and Chani eventually have twins.
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:29.519
And it's interesting because this is something that Paul doesn't foresee.
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:34.079
Paul only ever foresaw one child, not two.
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.879
So this is a very this is a very interesting twist at the end of Dune Messiah.
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:48.319
And one of them is named Leto, for Paul's late father, and the other is named Ganema, which means a spoil of war.
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:57.519
And of course, Ganema is actually the one who much later on goes on to continue the Atreides bloodline.
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:07.359
Based on what I'm seeing in this trailer, we're dealing with a long stretch of time here, because you can tell by the way characters look different in certain scenes versus others.
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:14.639
Uh, in the scene in the tent, this to me strikes me as a younger Paul and a younger Zendaya.
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:24.159
Now, in the book, Dune Messiah, we know that Paul and Zendaya tried many, many times to have children and failed over and over and over and over again.
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:28.479
So it is possible that the scene where they're laying in the tent is an earlier scene.
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:42.879
This is a more optimistic, younger Paul and a more optimistic, younger Chani before they are kind of ruined by the war and ruined by what it actually means for Paul to be the leader of the Imperium.
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:48.479
We get shots of, you know, Paul leading what appears to be a very brutal war.
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:50.240
This is the jihad.
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:58.159
This is the reign of death that the Frimen spread across the Imperium after Paul rose to power.
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:01.120
The thing is, in the book, it doesn't really show that.
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:03.039
It just kind of tells you that it happened.
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:06.800
Now I think Villeneuve will definitely show some of these things.
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:12.560
Now, what I'm really seeing is I'm I'm seeing I'm kind of seeing three eras just based on the looks of things.
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:30.319
I'm seeing like a younger Paul, I'm seeing Paul a little bit older, like in the grips of the war, like really in the thick of it, and I'm seeing Paul even older with the shaved head, which may be the furthest that the main storyline pushes.
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:44.240
We might get a peek into the further futures, but I don't think that the plot is necessarily gonna move into the plot of children of Dune, just because I don't see very much evidence for that in this trailer right now.
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:50.479
But what we are seeing is 100% the main elements of the Dune Messiah plot, which gets me very excited.
00:03:50.639 --> 00:04:02.639
We've got Robert Pattinson as SkyTale, and some people are confused about SkyTale, and I think that's because there are two different Sky Tales that appear in the Dune book series, but they're two different characters.
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:09.199
You have the Face Dancer Sky Tale that appears in Dune Messiah, and then you have the master Sky Tale that appears later.
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:14.800
In Tlaylaxu's society, the face dancer class is kind of like a sub-class.
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.079
They're not considered on the same level as everybody else.
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:23.199
They are a subservient race inside of the Tlelaxu civilization.
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:29.279
So, Dune Messiah, Skytail, different character from Heretics of Dune, Skytail.
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.079
Now, there's a lot of interesting things about Face Dancers.
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:40.959
They're actually really huge, especially in like the later plot line of the Dune books, in this really weird way that I've talked about multiple times, but we don't need to get into that.
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:52.720
But basically the function that Skytail plays in this movie is that he's essentially being used as a tool of the Tlelaxu in their part in trying to undo Paul.
00:04:52.879 --> 00:05:00.720
And also, speaking of tools of the Tlaylaxu, we also see in this trailer the appearance of hate.
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:05.920
And it looks like he's got the gola eyes, the silver eyes.
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:13.920
Now, hate is of course a clone, so to speak, or a gola of Dunkin' Idaho.
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:14.480
Right?
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:19.600
And the distinct difference between a gola and a clone in the Dune universe, it's not really that much of a distinction.
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:24.879
It's just that the cells are taken from someone after they are they're already dead.
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:28.240
So Gola, they've been brought back from the dead.
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:35.680
And Duncan Idaho has been brought back for the first time in Dune Messiah.
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:40.639
Now, of course, the Tslexu have not done this for no reason.
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:47.759
They've done this for a very specific reason, and obviously it is to hurt Paul in some way.
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:50.319
So I'm curious to see Vilno's version of that.
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:52.800
I'm very, very excited for this plot line.
00:05:53.759 --> 00:06:04.800
There's a really cool part in this trailer where Paul is talking about how his enemies are gathering all around him, and they show the Princess Irulan and the Benny Gesserit, which awesome shot.
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:09.279
But no shot of the Reverend Mother and Guy's Helemo Hayam, who plays a major role in Dune Messiah.
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:11.040
Maybe they'll nav cut her.
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:12.000
We'll see.
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:20.560
And they also show Skytail, and they also show what looks like it could be Edric.
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:23.680
And this is a really interesting design.
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:32.160
We only see like the outer casing that he's in, but it looks kind of similar to the proto-guild navigators that we see in Dune Part 1.
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:39.120
But you can tell that whatever is inside of this tank is much more huge and much more developed.
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:54.079
Now, the thing about guild navigators is that they are human people that essentially mutate themselves through spice to be able to navigate through outer space using the Holtzman engines to you know propel them, right?
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:57.920
So you got the Holtzman engine, that engine folds space.
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:06.480
But without a system that can look out into space and see where obstacles are, that is a very, very dangerous process.
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:11.680
And because they can't use computers to calculate this, they need a prescient mind.
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:14.319
And that's the really cool thing about guild navigators.
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:23.120
They have a kind of prescience that is similar to Paul's, but not quite the same, and probably not as powerful as Paul's.
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:33.519
But what happens, interestingly enough, is when a guild navigator is kind of present doing their thing, it blocks Paul because oracles block other oracles.
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:45.759
So this whole meeting that uh Irillon and Skytale and the navigator are having may be obscured because of that guild navigator being present.
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:48.720
That's the thing about Doom Messiah.
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:54.480
It shows how hard it is to rule an Imperium of all of these planets.
00:07:55.199 --> 00:08:01.759
Even a prescient person, someone that can literally see the future, can't really do it effectively.
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:11.680
There's so much death, there's so much violence and war and loss and pain and suffering on all fronts, and nobody can stop it.
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:12.639
Really?
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:20.160
And I 100% believe that this movie is going to have a huge anti-war message.
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:30.319
I think that's what Doom Part 2 is kind of like hinting at, but this one definitely seems like we're going with like the war kind of just sucks for everybody involved vibe.
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:32.240
That's what the book says to me.
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:34.879
That's what this movie is kind of saying to me.
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:40.960
And based on some things that Vilnoff himself has said, I think that is definitely gonna be the vibe here.
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:46.960
And Vilnoff has also said that this is a very, very different movie from the first two.
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:52.559
Do not go into this expecting the same movie as the second one or the same movie as the first one.
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:55.519
I actually think that the second one is quite different from the first one.
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:56.960
They're both quite distinct.
00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:00.480
I think all of the Dune movies are gonna have a distinct feeling.
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:07.279
But this one, similar to the book Doom Messiah, is gonna be sadder.
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:10.639
And I can already tell from the trailer that it's gonna be much more introspective.
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:15.279
It's gonna be probably quieter, darker, somber.
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:24.080
It's going to deconstruct a lot of the things that were kind of built up in the first two movies, and that's what the book does.
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.320
And that's I really hope this does this as well.
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:35.200
Because I think that as always, people have developed this kind of relationship to the character of Paul in the mainstream, right?
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:38.159
People kind of love this character now, right?
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:42.720
People wanted to see him rise to the top of the Imperium.
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:47.120
People wanted to see him conquer the Emperor and avenge his dad.
00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:50.639
That's why these movies have been so incredibly popular, I think.
00:09:50.879 --> 00:10:02.559
And if this movie does the job it's supposed to do, then it's gonna force the audiences to confront the consequences of everything they kind of cheered for, which is what Frank Herbert wanted to do.
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:07.360
This is literally what Frank Herbert said that he wanted to do in Dune Messiah, right?
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:10.879
Because it's not this typical like victory lap, you know.
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:14.240
This is not just like, oh, I'm the king now and I'm having a great time.
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:27.840
It really takes that myth of Paul Atreides, you know, that the first two films kind of help build in a way, like if you're not watching it deeply enough, you might like go along with it and think, oh yeah, he is a god, but he he's not, right?
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.360
So you got like I said, you got the jihad killing billions.
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:35.600
Paul is prescient, but prescience is a trap, right?
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:41.200
It he's in the trap of prescience, um, because to know the future is to be trapped by it.
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:49.120
Dune Messiah is supposed to dismantle everything Dune built, and I'm very curious to see how mainstream audiences react to this.
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:56.240
Because the people that have been here waiting on these movies since 2018 already know.
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:09.919
Like we already know what's coming, but I think normal people that are just expecting like a normal end to a trilogy might come into this and you know, kind of dare I say, be crushed.
00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:12.000
But that is the point, isn't it?
00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:18.240
You needed to be crushed because you put too much faith in a flawed human.
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:38.960
If you watch my ultimate guide to Dune Messiah, I open with a quote from Dune author Frank Herbert, and he says, I wrote the Dune series because I had this idea that charismatic leaders ought to come with a warning label, may be dangerous to your health.
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:45.919
And then he goes on to ask the question, why don't people question their leaders?
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:53.519
People will let a charismatic leader lead them into straight up hell, straight up into the pits of hell.
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:56.799
With no questioning whatsoever.
00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:59.120
And that is what Frank Herbert was getting at.
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:00.720
Why this happens.
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:06.480
One character that I'm going to be watching very closely in this movie is Stilgar.
00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:14.720
Because Stilgar has a very interesting journey throughout the Dune books, throughout those three first Dune books.
00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:19.519
Because he goes from thinking, oh, could this boy be the one?
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:23.519
To Dune Messiah, like fully believing.
00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:24.960
Fanatic, right?
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:28.320
He might have some questions, but he fully believes.
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:35.440
He believes to the point where he doesn't even understand why there are even why why there are even limits on Paul's power.
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:38.799
He doesn't understand that Paul is just a guy that has some abilities.
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:43.039
To Stilgar, this is this is this is Lisan al-Gaim.
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:44.639
This is the Messiah.
00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:47.120
And that is that is the way a lot of people see Paul.
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:49.840
That is the way a huge portion of people see Paul.
00:12:50.159 --> 00:13:03.120
But over the course of time, you see how f Stilgar kind of goes to this person that believes really intensely, to someone that actually sees eventually that this is a human man with flaws.
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:09.759
And it's it by Children of Dune, the character Stilgar has gone through such an immense change.
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:20.080
And I'm very curious to see if there is gonna be some, you know, hints at that happening over the course of this movie, which is gonna take place, I predict, over years.
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:24.720
Villeneuve has already said that there is a 17-year time jump, so that is significant.
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:33.519
Another character that I'm gonna be watching very closely is, of course, Saint Alia of the Knife, Saint Alia of the Knife, whatever you want to call her.
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:39.039
I love this character, one of the coolest, most interesting characters in the entire Dune series.
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:41.200
I'm so happy that we get to see her on screen.
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:45.039
I love, love Anya Taylor Joy as an actress.
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:47.600
I've loved so many things that she's been in.
00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:49.840
Queen's Gambit was amazing.
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:53.200
I loved the menu, I loved her in Furiosa.
00:13:53.360 --> 00:14:00.159
I this actress can do no wrong, in my opinion, and she's perfect as Saint Aliyah of the knife.
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:02.879
And we got some really cool shots of her in this movie.
00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:09.919
Like, the thing about Alia is that she'll she'll absolutely just do anything for Paul.
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:14.559
If you threaten Paul, she's coming for your throat.
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:20.960
She's so cool, and she's also kind of worshipped by people on Arrakis as this goddess.
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:23.279
She's the sister of Paul Atreides.
00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:28.159
The lady Jessica also has this kind of religious place as well.
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:31.919
You know, she kind of has religious reverence as well as the mother of God.
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:43.039
But the thing is, Jessica and Alia have a very strained relationship because Jessica's afraid of her.
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:45.519
Jessica's afraid of her own daughter.
00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:50.240
And we don't fully understand this until the book Children of Toon.
00:14:50.399 --> 00:15:02.080
Uh but Jessica basically after this all goes down, when she can leave Arrakis, Jessica leaves Arrakis and she leaves Alia on Arrakis.
00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:06.559
Jessica goes back to Kaladan and she's like, Here, Paul, you raise her.
00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:17.600
And Alia, Alia, kind of has this resentment for Jessica that entire time because she was abandoned by her mother, who looked at her and said, What the hell did I create?
00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:21.679
You know, because Alia is what we call an abomination.
00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:25.200
Or at least that's what the Benny Jezer would call an abomination, right?
00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:43.679
So if you're pregnant and you're oversaturated with spice, just oversaturated, it can potentially, with the right genetics, let's be clear, with the right genetics, because these are special people that have been like bred by the sisterhood for purposes, let's just say.
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:48.000
And with certain genetics, it can awaken other memory.
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:56.000
So as you see in the first in Doom Part 2, the talking fetus, Alia, little Alia is awakened with all of the memories of her ancestors.
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:59.440
So she's not just little Alia, she's also her mom.
00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:05.440
She's also a bunch of other people, like going back countless generations.
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:14.159
So this freaked out Jessica because the Benny Gesserit, when when they see abominations, they're supposed to kill them for some reason.
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:20.320
I mean, if we're going the in the Doom TV show, in the Doom prophecy, they kind of are developing that idea.
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:23.679
They're trying to give a reason for why that is, why they're so afraid of abominations.
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:27.840
But speaking strictly to books, we don't know exactly the reason.
00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:31.840
We don't know exactly if there was a specific case that caused them to be afraid.
00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:36.000
We just know that abominations to them, we don't we don't do that.
00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:37.679
We kill abominations immediately.
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:47.120
That's why in the first book, when the Reverend Mother Guys Helen O'Hyam sees little Aaliyah standing there, she's like, kill that thing, that is an abomination.
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:53.039
That scene doesn't happen in the movie, of course, because Alia isn't born yet in Dune Part 2.
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:56.639
But in the book, she's literally walking around as this talking little toddler.
00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:08.240
I will say though that the main fear that the Benny Jesser have with abominations is the fact that they can become possessed by an ancestral memory, right?
00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:16.480
So they can become overwhelmed by a dominant personality, personality from the past, which you know can lead to all sorts of problems.
00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:18.720
It's like a form of psychosis, basically.
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:21.599
Well, I have to say this trailer was amazing.
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:24.079
Like it was everything that I could have hoped for.
00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:34.319
Uh, this is titled Teaser Trailer, and I feel like we got shown a lot, so when we see the real trailer, holy crap, I'm I'm really excited for what we're gonna get to see.
00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:39.279
Um, you know, you all know that Dune is like one of my favorite book series of all time.
00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:43.599
I am absolutely in love with Vilnob's take on the series.
00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:47.039
It's incredibly respectful to the source material.
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:48.640
Can I just reiterate that?
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:52.000
Incredibly respectful to the source material.
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:55.200
Um David Lynch had his own vision for Dune.
00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:58.480
He did not want to really do the source material, and he got what he got.
00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:06.240
I imagine that if there was less studio interference, we would have gotten a more David Lynchian movie, but it still would not have been Dune.
00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:12.000
Villeneuve, you know, is making a Villeneuve movie, but he's also making Dune, right?
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:14.559
These movies have the soul of Dune.
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:24.319
And I find that, you know, people nitpick certain things, but they're such fantastic adaptations when it really all comes down to it, right?
00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:30.000
We couldn't ask for a more epic adaptation of Dune.
00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:34.559
We like couldn't ask for one, and you know, that's I just really, really appreciate it.
00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:37.599
Alright, so that's my initial breakdown of this trailer.
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:42.559
I will be discussing it later sometime this week on a live stream with Alt Shift X.
00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:44.640
So you guys stay tuned in for that.
00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:51.599
We're gonna dive into it even more and see what other details we can kind of pull out of this whole thing.
00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:53.440
Thanks so much for watching, guys.
