Having been introduced to this universe very, very recently through the recent Dune movie, I feel somewhat overwhelmed with the sheer scope and complexity of this story. I'm really grateful for your content for clarifying a lot of questions I've had since my first watch. I really, really want to get stuck into this saga. I haven't felt this engaged by a fictional world in ages I just want to know more.
Me too. I want to delve into the books and lore. The movie was so awesome but now I want to know about the universe. This video was exactly what I need and I'll definitely watch the others.
@@luxinvictus9018 Yes!! I totally know what you mean! I got the same feeling about Dune that I got upon first coming across SW and LOTR! Two incredibly immersive worlds and two franchises that offer endless hours of immersion. I love feeling such a strong pull towards lore and world-building and the examples you cite definitely played a huge part in my love for lore. I love fiction that lays down its own history!
and Leto II's empire spanned multiple galaxies. Anikin was only thinking of 1 galaxy....such a small mind that would probably fail the box test/ gom jabar
Anthony James Rich Art You did some of that art? Really? Wow;I'm speechless,the art brings back memories of everything that was amazing about Dune. Truly beautiful work man,you've captured the essence of Herbert's grand vision.
@@DrWhom That's definitely also a likely sentiment. At least considering that the video didn't include artists credit as far as I can tell, and OP probably didn't provide his image for the public domain.
Sho Fumimura My fears exactly. How will they make it captivating for non-readers while satisfying long time fans? There are only a handful of writers in Hollywood I trust to do this series right, and none of them are involved. 😣
Now when the movie is out, I am reminded of this one fantastic Dune -review. It was made four years ago by this dude who really, really likes Dune. His name was Quinn, and he had ideas. Now when the movie is out, I am obliged to revisit, upvote and comment this wonderful videoseries, done with such a passion, it today, after four years, is still the best book review I ever viewed. Now when the movie is out, those who didn't seek before, will now, and this is the video I wish and hope and want they saw. Great godamn guide, Quinn. Get all the views, man. You deserve them.
I just watched a really great Dune review on another channel but it was only about the movie/early book 1. This channel was exactly what I was looking for to get the full scope of the story. Your comment sold me to give it a shot, so thanks!
Can’t imagine the number of hours it took to create this series, research, script, graphics. You must really love Dune. Great job. When I run out of Star Wars (pre Disney) I might peep Dune.
dune is just a much more sophisticated thing than star wars ever was. the underlying messages in this story just blows star wars away it cant compare at all. star wars deals with some of that stuff but dune has it in spades.
this series is so detailed that if someone tells me the author was actually a time traveler from those days and wrote down the books, i would think it makes sense
"Once men turned thinking over to machines in the hope, that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with the machines to enslave them." - so true.
@elijah mikle yes it is. When there is a machine soldiers wall ahead of some politic, he wont be hurt for his actions. And there is of course no anonymity and total surveillance, so once they are "elected" they will never change at their place.
I’m a huge 40k fan so after I found out dune inspired it I knew I needed to know more. Thanks for being one of the few good sources for dune lore I’ve been able to find
This is one of the best and most comprehensive analysis of dune I have every heard! I've wanting for years, years, years, for someone to do an analysis of dune on this level and seeing the epic major themes and its connection to humanity here on earth. This is so fantastic, I am in awe and ecstatic for listening to these. Thank you so much!
I read the first book in 1986 when I was 14, and have re-read the entire original 6 books every decade or so since. I've also read all of the Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson books. Truly a wondrously complex and vast universe, the grandest opera of all.
Just beginning to read Dune Chapter house. One thing i believe upon reading this whole series is that WE as in humanity is the "Greatest opera of all" And everyone one of us is writing that opera everyday of our lives.
*_When we stopped believing in god we didnt start believing in nothing but rather in anything._* - G.K. Chesterton ... and when you look at capitalism, communism/socialism, feminism (=gender-communism), social justice (=communism anyways), vegetarianism/veganism, ... LOTS of "alternate religions" which people BELIEVE IN.
@ Don't need too much to turn anything into a fuckfest, just look at the father to son narrative change that split the dune fandom. So really more is in fact safer strategy.
After being hooked in by the movie, I started reading Dune in January of last year. Upon finishing the first book I stumbled upon this video, but as soon as I saw that it had future spoilers, I stopped watching Today, 1 year later, I just finished Chapterhouse. And I can confidently say that this series changed my life in this past 12 months, and changed my perspective on many things. Frank Herbert is a genius and I'm thankful to be able to glimpse at his thoughts so many years after his passing I can also now watch this video entirely and say: thank you, Quinn, for sharing your passion with us. No one in my close proximity actually read these books, and watching your videos sometimes feel like discussing theories about Dune with a friend. Thanks!
First of all I would like to thank everyone that has enjoyed, liked, and commented on my video. I have taken into consideration some of your comments regarding my pronunciation. Some of them agree with such as Kwisatz Haderach and Tleilaxu. Names like Alia, and Leto could have different pronunciations depending on the accent. I also might agree that the word Missionaria Protectiva should be pronounced as "misheeonara" but I definitely disagree that matre should be pronounced "Ma-truh" or "Ma-ter" I will check with the audio books and improve the pronunciations that I think need to be improved.
@IdeasOfIceAndFire: First, thank you for making this video. I stumbled on it only recently and decided to post some comments and have been having a very enjoyable conversation with another fan. Regarding the pronunciation: I would ask that you pronounce "Alia" as the name is pronounced in the Lynch movie, with the emphasis on the first syllable. There's really not much I disagree with in the Lynch movie's pronunciation of most names and terms, other than Chani. My personal preference is a hard "C" and the "h" is silent, so neither the movie nor miniseries matches the sound in my mind when I read her name. Frank Herbert made a recording a long time ago in which he discussed the pronunciation of some of the terms in the novel. I don't know if that is still available, as it wasn't on UA-cam where I heard it. "Matre", I think, should be pronounced as "Mater" - as in the Latin word, with a long "a". There are many words that are pronounced the same no matter the order of the last two letters (consider the English pronunciation of words like "liter" and "litre"; in English Canada they're pronounced the same, although some people prefer the French spelling).
Mother , matriarchs, like mothers with a romanian accent dropping the h, Tleiilaxu only heard as Tylax, or bene tylax, that one is definitely confusing. also confusion between harkkonen , and harconan, not the spelling of course, but he pronunciations . if david lynch was your first exposure, then I'm sure you know where i'm going with this
You shouldnt use X-Wings and Nostromos from other sci fi franchises, its rather cheap. It takes me out of the story when Im listening to your cool narration and nice artwork, then I see x-wings in images it kind of spoils it. Other than that good job.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer, and fear is the Little-Death which brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to move over me and through me. And once it has gone past I will turn the Inner Eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
As a child in the 80s, I wanted to watch the movie, my parents said they didn't understand it and didn't like it. I was strangely compelled to watch it, almost as if pushed to. It came on HBO one morning and I watched it instead of Saturday Cartoons and understood more than my parents did who tried to explain what they had seen for themselves. They were completely LOST and didn't understand anything. I, now know, that I understood the story quite well at age 9. I'm still strangely pulled to this universe. I noticed the Warhammer 40k stuff that was inspired from Dune when I got into that game system. Weird to hear this story now explained and seeing some inspirations Frank must have had from the Bible. Always leaves me with a strange but familiar feeling when seeing anything associated with Dune. Like....prophetic feeling.... I dont know how to explain it. A.I. thought explored in the 60s when most of the world was concerned with Vietnam and conflict. But Frank was over here warning us about the far future of computers taking over humans. Crazy.
Quinn, I have to thank you immensely. This series came to me by chance a few years ago before the film came out. Somehow Dune never got in front of me before I had this video recommended. Discovering Dune has completely altered the course of my life for a number of weird and complicated reasons, and I have you to thank for that. So, thank you, stranger, for pointing the way.
The Eloquent weiner The Hehehehehehehehehehe! Imagine a “tiny” company like Disney trying to “pick up” massive Warner Bros. which would make it fun to see WB crush by accident under their massive rear, Disney. Up until they decide to get off of the company. Actually, who would watch a fight between WB and Disney, especially since they were animated enemies.
movie-wise, Disney wins animation. TV quality seems to be well done be WB. at least if comparing DC animated vs Marvel animated. DC has superior quality.
Yeah God emperor is great. I actually love all books, but especially the second trilogy of the original series. My favorite is Heretics and Sheeana is my favorite character
I agree, and when I read the books 25 years ago, I noticed the sudden shift. As books 1-3 happen in a reasonable laps of time, Paul's late teenage years and adulthood, God emperor suddenly shifts centuries forward, and I remember that jump confusing me.
It did not confuse me so much, since Children of Dune ended up with Leto II as the emperor and becoming a great sandworm too, so despite shifting centuries, GEOD was logically related to that ending. The jump in Heretics confused me at first, however now I bless that feeling. By the way I love your username.
This guide is amazing! I’ve read the novels several times yet listening to you keeps uncovering hidden nuances I had missed. Your delivery and the background music and images are harmoniously folded in also. This is, in my opinion, the definitive guide to the Dune novels! Excellent work, Quinn! Thanks!!!
This is my favorite book series of all time, it changed my life as a teenager. I suffer from anxiety and I recite the Litany Against Fear everytime I feel it coming on as crazy as that sounds. This book series showed me what it meant to be a Messiah, and to know the suffering of being a man cursed to be the savior of mankind at the cost of his own existence. I cried my eyes out at the end of Paul's saga.
DITTO!! Cheers First watched the movie as a YOUNG kid. Born in 1976. ALWAYS LOVED the movie. Have watched the movie SOOO MANY TIMES, NEVER TIRE OF IT. Not found of the tv series. Read the books in high school. Fantastic books.
Me too. I have adapted my own version of the litany against fear and i still use it when necessary: I shall not fear. Fear is the mindkiller. Fear is the little death, that obliterates the mind. I shall not fight fear. I shall embrace it. And when i turn my inner eye, To see its path Only i shall remain.
George Lucas was heavily inspired by Herbert's 1965 Dune book. We can thank him for the sweeping sagas in space that it inspired but we can blame Disney for completely ruining it.
this book shouldnt be a movie, it should be a series like game of thrones, or the walking dead, even if its one book, their is absolutly no end to the possibilitys and storys one could create
@@bigmacattack7747 if there's anyone that can do it it's this guy, made arrival & blade runner 2049 which are brilliant sci fi films full of fresh creativity
This should just be an anime. This series seriously sounds like amazing and also classic anime material. It could all be adapted perfectly and with zero story limitations and look amazing and sound amazing. Live action is great, but costs too much and still has limitations even today. Anime is where it's at for no holds barred story telling. And this series seems perfect for it.
In the mind is a vast and crazy universe infinite in it's complexity. Burning gas helps us reach the stars in real life then drugs are the gas to help our conscious explore the stars in our brain
Probably means the way Dune's written. I like the style, it's different, informative and feels like you're reading something that's more than just fiction.
I really, sincerely hope that not only the new film gains mass popularity, but as a result this channel explodes from the will to learn of this fantastic universe You deserve so much more appreciation for your videos dude 👊
The new Dune part 1 is PHENOMENALLY portrayed on screen with over all incredible portrayal of all the characters and plot fantastically presented on screen. The film is FILMED with nuances from performances and subtle foreshadowing and metaphorical symbolism of what’s happening and what’s to come! Obviously not the same as the book but it’s still VERY nuanced in all fronts of its filmmaking and portrayal of its story! The new movie DID gain mass popularity and so did the channel, how to look at the incredibly amazing presentation the movie presents the story! PHENOMENAL film and a masterpiece of modern sci-fi cinema entirely! LOVE this movie for what it was able to achieve and be and I’m so glad many others agree for what it was able to achieve!
@@onlyadonis3936 you clearly don't know the difference between sci-fi and fantasy. It seems you've never read a single book of either genres. And if you did, you have no idea what you read.
Make sure to stay for the credits to check out all the wonderful artists and musicians that contributed to this video! *I'm doing a giveaway of the God Emperor of Dune book. All you have to do to qualify is leave a comment on this video.
IdeasOfIceAndFire thanks for covering this great series. After ur finished, is it possible for you to cover the remaining books like the Butlerian Jihad, House Corrino, winds of Dune, etc... written by Brian Herbert, his son and Kevin Anderson. I've read all 6 originals yrs ago as well as 10 books in the expanded series. They're pretty good. Basically all prequels except for the the newest ones. If you haven't read them yet,i recommended that you should start. They fill in all the history, bad blood between the houses , the machine wars,etc.
Interesting mix of novels, Lynch movie, and not too much of the nuDune nonsense by KJA/BH. I hope you will leave nuDune out of this. They contradict established in-universe history, character traits, and the actual _character of the Dune universe itself_ with their repetitious, retconned stuff. Some of the pronunciation is uneven in this video. I hope that's cleaned up in future videos (especially the weird pronunciation of Alia's name; that grated, when it's made perfectly clear in both the Lynch movie and the Dune/Children of Dune miniseries how her name is pronounced).
I searched for so many Dune summarxs on Yt, and at some point they all fell flat. Im really enjoying your take so far and am looking forward to the next hours. Thanks for your work!
Wow, this was unexpectedly wonderful. Frank Herbert wrote one of the greatest works of literature of all time (I always felt it was prescient in and of itself) and this short overview actually does his works some justice. Well done and thank you for sharing.
It's really really intriguing to see what basically directly inspired Warhammer 40K. The null gene, psychers, god emperror, scaterred humanity. Just in the Dune universe emperror got his way and had a say while in 40K emperor is basically glorified husk that is more like an warding idol without anything to say
I can't believe I just happened to stumble across this channel. Hell, am I gunna enjoy the "Dune Lore Explained" playlist! Subscribed. Another soul who loves literature with such passion (as I can hear in your voice and narration) is always a kindred spirit!
This is a masterpiece summary. I’ve read Dune twice, and most of the other books once. This video clears up so many confusing points. I want to watch all of your Dune based videos and then start reading the series again with a better understanding of what is happening. Great work, and a new subscriber.
Well executed for what is forced to be an oversimplified outline. I'm subbed and looking forward to the series. I read all the books in the span of a month and I think thats the best way to do it. Just smash it all into your head at once.
First of all. What a powerful voice dude! Thank you so much for this gorgeous video. It does honour Herbert's masterpiece. Now I want to read the other 5 books.
I'm listening to the book so this is helping me understand it since I feel overwhelmed with its vast details and confusing names. Great job and thank you.
This is the same thing I’m feeling, the book has caught my interest but I was overwhelmed with all the characters and the words I have no clue what they mean. I want to keep going but I was getting a little confused! I’ve never listened to an audio book I prefer to read but I’m giving it a try since I’m always so busy
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion By the brew of the bean thoughts aquire speed Hands begin to shake The shake becomes a warning It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion
Quinn you are AWESOME...I'm so grateful that you enjoy the Dune mythos as much as I do - but you are so articulate and thoughtful. Kudos to you! We are the true beneficiaries of your passion!
I already had this in my watch later list, but holy shit the brilliant story by Frank Herbert, combined with the captivating narration, the images (I had no idea there was so much Dune Artwork that deserves the capital A, is that commercial work or just made by fans?) and the atmospheric music, all combined by the creator of this channel, and combined with the magic mushroom trip I'm having right now....... it's soo good. And this is only the introduction lol. Thank you! Amazing work. I should read the books again.
I'm here having just finished watching your GoT S8E6 review. I've read all of the original Dune series, the prequels, house books, and I've lost track at this point of which side stories I've finished. I'm looking forward to tying it all together with this cinematic series of yours, so here goes!
The greatest science fiction series of all time- second only to the Divergent series-Just kidding guys I'm trolling. I love this channel keep up the great work Quinn!
I was 12 years old when my uncle first introduced to Dune through the original movies, but I was too young to understand what an EPIC tale I was watching and I never tried to get into it again, now with the new movie I have rekindled my interest in these amazing stories, thank you so much for helping me understand the lore behind this vast and deep world a little bit better. I really appreciate all the hard work it obviously took to make these videos and I look forward to seeing more as the movies continue, I have already subscribed and really want to see more content like this from you. Keep up the great work!!
I think folks would get a channel called Spice & Fire confused with that UA-cam channel where they interview celebrities while eating spicy chicken wings! What's it called? Oh yeah- Hot Ones.
I first encountered the Dune novels in 1978. At that time the series ended with The God Emperor of Dune. I was so blown away by the series and the insights it provided into the human psyche that I made it a point to read the 4 novels yearly. I was able to maintain this practice until I got married in 1991. Since then I have read the series regularly but not yearly. I also added in the Chapterhouse Dune and Heretics of Dune novels when they were published. I found your site this evening while battling insomnia and trying to relax. I am very impressed with "Quinn's Ideas". You have obviously spent a great deal of time and effort in your works about the Dune books. I want to take the opportunity to thank you for that. Ir is rare for me to find anyone who has studied this sci-fi series like I have but you obviously have. I would love to discuss viewpoints and observations from the novels with you, especially God Emperor of Dune. With the release of the Dune movie approaching, I am going to study all of your guides and other presentations. I find Frank Herbert's Dune universe to be fascinating and no one has produced an adequate adaptation of his work for a movie. I hope they are successful this time. I agree with your assessments of the previous productions and have often believed that the only way I could get it done right would be to do it myself...LOL. Although I would love to try and have definite ideas of what it should be, I am intrigued by what I have seen of the latest production. I can only hope that they have achieved something special and epic. I will be watching and posting. Hopefully we will meet up at some point. I agree with just about every interpretation that you have made from the novels. I am impressed. We will chat sometime.
I personally haven't read dune but I must say I'm going to now thanks to you! this is amazing quality love the art and music that went in to it! it really shows how much you care about your work!
I've never read the books either but ever since dating a guy who was all about Dune, I've developed an interest into finding out more about it. Are the books better than the movie?
@@karenhall4645 WAAAAAAAAAAAY better than the movie. I love the scope of it, the detail, the complexity, which movies gloss over. It is my favorite book(s) of all time.
@@gigglehertz I also love Frank Herbert's style so much. That's why I adore all the first six books. His son and Kevin J. Anderson just couldn't match that in my opinion, their books are still interesting because of the story, but something that I dearly love in the first six books is missing. Such a shame that Frank didn't live to finish the original story.
Dune: The Revenge Dune: Just When You Thought It was Safe Dune: A New Hope Dune: Hell's Kitchen (this could use more Spice). Dune: Spice Girls Dune: Dunnier Dunes: This Time Its War Dune: Tequila (there's a Worm in the bottle)
Thank you Quinn! Totally LOVE how you (intentionally or otherwise) stick it to Brian Herbert by not even including his own two books after the "cliffhanger," that resolves it (by reading Frank's "found" notes) The kid and his Star Wars hack writer Anderson, made a mockery of Frank's decades of effort by turning it into a cash cow by churning out one book after another ad nauseum. Man, I owe you one Quinn!
What an amazingly well put together video! Both the narration and the artwork had me transfixed! I read the first 2 Dune novels many years ago, so it was interesting for me to see how the timeline played out after that. Thanks!
Chani actually bore three children. The first son Leto II Atreides the Elder was killed in infancy during a Sardaukar raid which also led to the capture of his young aunt, Alia.
@@vincentbalinos4114 (Heavy spoilers for Dune, Dune Messiah, and Children of Dune. Final warning): Paul and Chani had a son and named him Leto II (Original Dune). This son was killed in a Sardaukar raid (As Mandobird1 said). Some 12 years later (Dune Messiah), they have two more children, twins, one of whom they name Leto II. So Leto II the elder was the first one from the original Dune, and Leto II the younger was the second one born in Dune Messiah. Funnily enough, since Leto II the younger was preborn, he was in some ways older than Leto II the elder ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Your presentations are absolutely beautiful, so beautiful they are really just Art. And I also love and adore your explanations, and I have read Dune and the subsequent novels many times, and watching all you put together it’s just more enriching than anything I’ve seen about Dune
Read Dune as a teenager, over 25 years ago, and it utterly absolutely captivated me. I struggled with further volumes, I think perhaps because I struggled to connect to many of the characters. It's still an excellent series and setting.
My feeling is that Legendary Pictures has a fairly decent shot at crafting a saga here; this could be this generation’s Star Wars. (Admittedly, I’m a serial optimist where epic Sci-Fi is concerned.)
Man I thought Game of Thrones Lord of the Rings and Star Wars were the most in depth stories ever told. But I have to say this is even beyond those truly amazed I remember the original movie from the 80s when I was a kid but the new ones got me really interested and excited to see this world unfold. Appreciate the videos you made🍻👍
I know only one God emperor of the Imperium of man; our holy and mighty emperor, lord of terra, father of the astartes, defier of the filth of chaos! Joking aside, I see now where warhammer 40k got much of its inspiration.
lol I just read a page of the dune novel and I'm now even more confused than before. Fantasy/sci fi usually puts me off when they start throwing made up names and complicated terms that only exist within the world right off the bat.
@@SILVER-zf2hu there is a glossary tho? I'd agree with you many times it is simply unecessary. Not in Dune. I'd argue that this world is so far away from us and so intricaded that such things are necessary
I just finished parts 1-6, and you got me hooked man! You did a great job! Makes me want to read them for myself now. Imma check out everything else you have too. Keep em coming man!
Utterly love your series highlighting the Dune books. You bring the books alive and explain the characters and plots {plans within plans within plans) so well. Thanks for this
Thank you so much for making this series! I own Dune (the first book) but could never really get into it personally. However, the way you explain the story is poetic, clear, and exceptionally entertaining Despite having not actually read them, being able to toss out references from the later books (like the Honored Matres) is worth some serious nerd cred ;)
so much dedication. I hope you aren't overworking yourself. Take your time for your and everyone's health. we will wait. wish you all the best. Cheers from georgia.

Hi Quinn! I just wanted to say thank you for all of your work over the years bringing this series to new eyes. When the movie was announced a few years ago, I watched the trailer and two days later, your video on spice melange popped up in my recommended. I slowly knocked out video after video until I decided to tackle your overviews of the books. After seeing the movie, I went back and rewatched your videos with a new fervor until I couldn’t take it any longer and bought the books for myself. I’m currently a hundred and change pages in to Children of Dune, and I haven’t read a book without losing interest partway through since I *had* to read books a decade ago in high school, and I want to thank you again. Not only have you brought an amazing series to my attention, you’ve resparked the love I had for reading when I younger. Reading through Dune and Dune Messiah, I found myself drawing what I think is an interesting parallel to prescience as portrayed in the novels. Having watched your full overviews in the novels multiple times, there were parts that I felt like I already knew, all the way down to recognizing the quotes you used - and it gave me a sense of security, I was in a place “I had already seen,” as Paul does entering situations he has seen in his visions. It gave me an exhilarating feeling to reach the small sections that were left out or briefly summarized in your videos, I didn’t know what was going to happen, I knew what would happen in the end, but in the moment to moment, I was blind. I hope that makes sense to and can be related to by at least one person out there. And Quinn, if you see this, thank you again. I look forward to your future Dune videos, and I’m excited to dive in to other series you have recommended. You have exquisite taste.
So you could say that the “Bene Gesserit” are the true spice girls
Ok, that was terrible, but so so good! lol
The Fremen are even more spiced up, boys and girls saturated in it.
If you wanna be my Haderach, you gotta get with my plan..

I haven't felt this engaged by a fictional world in ages I just want to know more.

Oh man, the Dune Saga is even harder to adapt for movies than Lord of the Rings.
Sho Fumimura My fears exactly. How will they make it captivating for non-readers while satisfying long time fans? There are only a handful of writers in Hollywood I trust to do this series right, and none of them are involved. 😣
There is a pretty decent Dune movie out already. Sure not as good as the book but better than how hitchhikers guide to the galaxy was butchered.

Now when the movie is out, I am reminded of this one fantastic Dune -review. It was made four years ago by this dude who really, really likes Dune. His name was Quinn, and he had ideas.
Now when the movie is out, I am obliged to revisit, upvote and comment this wonderful videoseries, done with such a passion, it today, after four years, is still the best book review I ever viewed.
Now when the movie is out, those who didn't seek before, will now, and this is the video I wish and hope and want they saw.
Great godamn guide, Quinn. Get all the views, man. You deserve them.
I just watched a really great Dune review on another channel but it was only about the movie/early book 1. This channel was exactly what I was looking for to get the full scope of the story. Your comment sold me to give it a shot, so thanks!
Can’t imagine the number of hours it took to create this series, research, script, graphics. You must really love Dune. Great job. When I run out of Star Wars (pre Disney) I might peep Dune.
I pray Disney doesn't get hold of Dune, ruined Star Wars!
dune is just a much more sophisticated thing than star wars ever was. the underlying messages in this story just blows star wars away it cant compare at all. star wars deals with some of that stuff but dune has it in spades.
Do it
Please do, Lucas created star wars because of his inspiration of dune !!!

I’m a huge 40k fan so after I found out dune inspired it I knew I needed to know more. Thanks for being one of the few good sources for dune lore I’ve been able to find
This is one of the best and most comprehensive analysis of dune I have every heard! I've wanting for years, years, years, for someone to do an analysis of dune on this level and seeing the epic major themes and its connection to humanity here on earth.
This is so fantastic, I am in awe and ecstatic for listening to these.
Thank you so much!
I read the first book in 1986 when I was 14, and have re-read the entire original 6 books every decade or so since. I've also read all of the Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson books. Truly a wondrously complex and vast universe, the grandest opera of all.
I go back and forth between Dune and LOTR

Just beginning to read Dune Chapter house. One thing i believe upon reading this whole series is that WE as in humanity is the "Greatest opera of all"
And everyone one of us is writing that opera everyday of our lives.

I don’t know why but your comment makes me wish there was an audiobook of Dune narrated by Ricky from trailer park boys.
This is literally the most complex shit I've ever experienced. You know shit's real when the intro is a half hour long
And it is just the intro to dune 😭
The Silmarillion by j r r tolkien puts this to shame. well, maybe not shame. but still
There are volumes of books detailing Dune universe.
I was hoping for something more complex than warhammer, too bad the series is dependent on one author.
@ Don't need too much to turn anything into a fuckfest, just look at the father to son narrative change that split the dune fandom.
So really more is in fact safer strategy.
After being hooked in by the movie, I started reading Dune in January of last year. Upon finishing the first book I stumbled upon this video, but as soon as I saw that it had future spoilers, I stopped watching
Today, 1 year later, I just finished Chapterhouse. And I can confidently say that this series changed my life in this past 12 months, and changed my perspective on many things. Frank Herbert is a genius and I'm thankful to be able to glimpse at his thoughts so many years after his passing
I can also now watch this video entirely and say: thank you, Quinn, for sharing your passion with us. No one in my close proximity actually read these books, and watching your videos sometimes feel like discussing theories about Dune with a friend. Thanks!
First of all I would like to thank everyone that has enjoyed, liked, and commented on my video. I have taken into consideration some of your comments regarding my pronunciation. Some of them agree with such as Kwisatz Haderach and Tleilaxu. Names like Alia, and Leto could have different pronunciations depending on the accent. I also might agree that the word Missionaria Protectiva should be pronounced as "misheeonara" but I definitely disagree that matre should be pronounced "Ma-truh" or "Ma-ter" I will check with the audio books and improve the pronunciations that I think need to be improved.
@IdeasOfIceAndFire:
First, thank you for making this video. I stumbled on it only recently and decided to post some comments and have been having a very enjoyable conversation with another fan.
Regarding the pronunciation: I would ask that you pronounce "Alia" as the name is pronounced in the Lynch movie, with the emphasis on the first syllable. There's really not much I disagree with in the Lynch movie's pronunciation of most names and terms, other than Chani. My personal preference is a hard "C" and the "h" is silent, so neither the movie nor miniseries matches the sound in my mind when I read her name. Frank Herbert made a recording a long time ago in which he discussed the pronunciation of some of the terms in the novel. I don't know if that is still available, as it wasn't on UA-cam where I heard it.
"Matre", I think, should be pronounced as "Mater" - as in the Latin word, with a long "a". There are many words that are pronounced the same no matter the order of the last two letters (consider the English pronunciation of words like "liter" and "litre"; in English Canada they're pronounced the same, although some people prefer the French spelling).
dont rely on the audiobooks, they mess up names repeatedly
Mother , matriarchs, like mothers with a romanian accent dropping the h, Tleiilaxu only heard as Tylax, or bene tylax, that one is definitely confusing. also confusion between harkkonen , and harconan, not the spelling of course, but he pronunciations . if david lynch was your first exposure, then I'm sure you know where i'm going with this
read the complete series, asimov is a great writer, read all of these as well, prequels - hunters
You shouldnt use X-Wings and Nostromos from other sci fi franchises, its rather cheap. It takes me out of the story when Im listening to your cool narration and nice artwork, then I see x-wings in images it kind of spoils it. Other than that good job.
Bless the maker and his water. Bless his coming and his going. May his passage cleanse the world and may they keep the world for his people.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer, and fear is the Little-Death which brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to move over me and through me. And once it has gone past I will turn the Inner Eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

@@Robert_Douglass No disrespect intended. That was a great monologue by Paul!
As a child in the 80s, I wanted to watch the movie, my parents said they didn't understand it and didn't like it. I was strangely compelled to watch it, almost as if pushed to. It came on HBO one morning and I watched it instead of Saturday Cartoons and understood more than my parents did who tried to explain what they had seen for themselves. They were completely LOST and didn't understand anything. I, now know, that I understood the story quite well at age 9. I'm still strangely pulled to this universe. I noticed the Warhammer 40k stuff that was inspired from Dune when I got into that game system. Weird to hear this story now explained and seeing some inspirations Frank must have had from the Bible. Always leaves me with a strange but familiar feeling when seeing anything associated with Dune. Like....prophetic feeling.... I dont know how to explain it. A.I. thought explored in the 60s when most of the world was concerned with Vietnam and conflict. But Frank was over here warning us about the far future of computers taking over humans. Crazy.
Quinn, I have to thank you immensely. This series came to me by chance a few years ago before the film came out. Somehow Dune never got in front of me before I had this video recommended. Discovering Dune has completely altered the course of my life for a number of weird and complicated reasons, and I have you to thank for that. So, thank you, stranger, for pointing the way.
not gonna lie. I'm only here after seeing that Dune Trailer today. I'm intrigued by that movie and want to know what its about lol
Glad you found your way here - I can assure you, you're watching the best channel for this purpose :)
welcome, stay, have a spice beer, enjoy!

Haha same here
Honestly I’m here for the same reason, even though I read the books
You can tell how much love for the books is held by the creator. It really carries the videos and makes them worthy of listening to and watching.

Actually, who would watch a fight between WB and Disney, especially since they were animated enemies.
movie-wise, Disney wins animation. TV quality seems to be well done be WB. at least if comparing DC animated vs Marvel animated. DC has superior quality.
This is the only series I know that gets better and better with every book. I found God Emperor particularly good. It was different from other books.
Yeah God emperor is great. I actually love all books, but especially the second trilogy of the original series. My favorite is Heretics and Sheeana is my favorite character
Duncan idaho.
Any of his incarnations particularly?
I agree, and when I read the books 25 years ago, I noticed the sudden shift. As books 1-3 happen in a reasonable laps of time, Paul's late teenage years and adulthood, God emperor suddenly shifts centuries forward, and I remember that jump confusing me.
It did not confuse me so much, since Children of Dune ended up with Leto II as the emperor and becoming a great sandworm too, so despite shifting centuries, GEOD was logically related to that ending. The jump in Heretics confused me at first, however now I bless that feeling. By the way I love your username.

Your delivery and the background music and images are harmoniously folded in also. This is, in my opinion, the definitive guide to the Dune novels! Excellent work, Quinn! Thanks!!!
This is my favorite book series of all time, it changed my life as a teenager. I suffer from anxiety and I recite the Litany Against Fear everytime I feel it coming on as crazy as that sounds. This book series showed me what it meant to be a Messiah, and to know the suffering of being a man cursed to be the savior of mankind at the cost of his own existence. I cried my eyes out at the end of Paul's saga.
DITTO!!
Cheers
First watched the movie as a YOUNG kid.
Born in 1976.
ALWAYS LOVED the movie.
Have watched the movie SOOO MANY TIMES, NEVER TIRE OF IT.
Not found of the tv series.
Read the books in high school.
Fantastic books.
Section8dc same read it as young teen and it changed me forever
Me too. I have adapted my own version of the litany against fear and i still use it when necessary:
I shall not fear.
Fear is the mindkiller.
Fear is the little death,
that obliterates the mind.
I shall not fight fear.
I shall embrace it.
And when i turn my inner eye,
To see its path
Only i shall remain.

George Lucas was heavily inspired by Herbert's 1965 Dune book. We can thank him for the sweeping sagas in space that it inspired but we can blame Disney for completely ruining it.
this book shouldnt be a movie, it should be a series like game of thrones, or the walking dead, even if its one book, their is absolutly no end to the possibilitys and storys one could create
Dune is going to be a 2 part movie and after that a Dune series is also coming on HBOmax
I don't really think it can be done justice to in any form but the books, even Franks sons follow up series was somewhat lacking.

You deserve so much more appreciation for your videos dude 👊
The new Dune part 1 is PHENOMENALLY portrayed on screen with over all incredible portrayal of all the characters and plot fantastically presented on screen. The film is FILMED with nuances from performances and subtle foreshadowing and metaphorical symbolism of what’s happening and what’s to come! Obviously not the same as the book but it’s still VERY nuanced in all fronts of its filmmaking and portrayal of its story! The new movie DID gain mass popularity and so did the channel, how to look at the incredibly amazing presentation the movie presents the story! PHENOMENAL film and a masterpiece of modern sci-fi cinema entirely! LOVE this movie for what it was able to achieve and be and I’m so glad many others agree for what it was able to achieve!
And that's why Dune is the greates Sci Fi ever written! Awesome narrative!

IdeasOfIceAndFire thanks for covering this great series. After ur finished, is it possible for you to cover the remaining books like the Butlerian Jihad, House Corrino, winds of Dune, etc... written by Brian Herbert, his son and Kevin Anderson. I've read all 6 originals yrs ago as well as 10 books in the expanded series. They're pretty good. Basically all prequels except for the the newest ones. If you haven't read them yet,i recommended that you should start. They fill in all the history, bad blood between the houses , the machine wars,etc.
Wowed ur so awesome! I love ur narrative voice! It makes things more intriguing
Nice new content man
Interesting mix of novels, Lynch movie, and not too much of the nuDune nonsense by KJA/BH.
I hope you will leave nuDune out of this. They contradict established in-universe history, character traits, and the actual _character of the Dune universe itself_ with their repetitious, retconned stuff.
Some of the pronunciation is uneven in this video. I hope that's cleaned up in future videos (especially the weird pronunciation of Alia's name; that grated, when it's made perfectly clear in both the Lynch movie and the Dune/Children of Dune miniseries how her name is pronounced).
What a lovely gift to the fans! Thank you.

You have an awesome channel. I can tell you Dune series is a labor of love.
This is my favorite sci-fi series. I've read everything I can get my hands on.
I first encountered the Dune novels in 1978. At that time the series ended with The God Emperor of Dune. I was so blown away by the series and the insights it provided into the human psyche that I made it a point to read the 4 novels yearly. I was able to maintain this practice until I got married in 1991. Since then I have read the series regularly but not yearly. I also added in the Chapterhouse Dune and Heretics of Dune novels when they were published. I found your site this evening while battling insomnia and trying to relax. I am very impressed with "Quinn's Ideas". You have obviously spent a great deal of time and effort in your works about the Dune books. I want to take the opportunity to thank you for that. Ir is rare for me to find anyone who has studied this sci-fi series like I have but you obviously have. I would love to discuss viewpoints and observations from the novels with you, especially God Emperor of Dune. With the release of the Dune movie approaching, I am going to study all of your guides and other presentations. I find Frank Herbert's Dune universe to be fascinating and no one has produced an adequate adaptation of his work for a movie. I hope they are successful this time. I agree with your assessments of the previous productions and have often believed that the only way I could get it done right would be to do it myself...LOL. Although I would love to try and have definite ideas of what it should be, I am intrigued by what I have seen of the latest production. I can only hope that they have achieved something special and epic. I will be watching and posting. Hopefully we will meet up at some point. I agree with just about every interpretation that you have made from the novels. I am impressed. We will chat sometime.

Such a shame that Frank didn't live to finish the original story.

Thank you Quinn! Totally LOVE how you (intentionally or otherwise) stick it to Brian Herbert by not even including his own two books after the "cliffhanger," that resolves it (by reading Frank's "found" notes)
The kid and his Star Wars hack writer Anderson, made a mockery of Frank's decades of effort by turning it into a cash cow by churning out one book after another ad nauseum.
Man, I owe you one Quinn!
What an amazingly well put together video! Both the narration and the artwork had me transfixed! I read the first 2 Dune novels many years ago, so it was interesting for me to see how the timeline played out after that. Thanks!
Chani actually bore three children. The first son Leto II Atreides the Elder was killed in infancy during a Sardaukar raid which also led to the capture of his young aunt, Alia.
Why does nobody remember poor Leto? I wonder what he would have done if he had lived.
The what??
I'm sorry. I'm lost. I was on my way to the bathroom.
@@vincentbalinos4114 (Heavy spoilers for Dune, Dune Messiah, and Children of Dune. Final warning): Paul and Chani had a son and named him Leto II (Original Dune). This son was killed in a Sardaukar raid (As Mandobird1 said). Some 12 years later (Dune Messiah), they have two more children, twins, one of whom they name Leto II. So Leto II the elder was the first one from the original Dune, and Leto II the younger was the second one born in Dune Messiah. Funnily enough, since Leto II the younger was preborn, he was in some ways older than Leto II the elder ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Man I thought Game of Thrones Lord of the Rings and Star Wars were the most in depth stories ever told. But I have to say this is even beyond those truly amazed I remember the original movie from the 80s when I was a kid but the new ones got me really interested and excited to see this world unfold. Appreciate the videos you made🍻👍
I know only one God emperor of the Imperium of man; our holy and mighty emperor, lord of terra, father of the astartes, defier of the filth of chaos!
Joking aside, I see now where warhammer 40k got much of its inspiration.
Paladin Shark The False Emperor, the Corpse God sitting on his throne of slain souls.
Burn the False Corpse God on his deathbed they call his throne!
oberstul suffer not the heretic to live! None can stand before his light!
the true emperor is leto atreides not that false impostor
Librarian Rae Raziel hold your tongue, heretic! His light is all that separates you from the ruinous powers
Literally 2 minutes in and I'm already confused.
Deadass. I’m excited for the new film and I never heard or read about the book. So I wanted to know more😂😂
lol I just read a page of the dune novel and I'm now even more confused than before. Fantasy/sci fi usually puts me off when they start throwing made up names and complicated terms that only exist within the world right off the bat.
@@SILVER-zf2hu it is a great novel, read more of it 😉
@@khailart8858 Exactly the reason I'm here :)
@@SILVER-zf2hu there is a glossary tho?
I'd agree with you many times it is simply unecessary. Not in Dune. I'd argue that this world is so far away from us and so intricaded that such things are necessary
Great job makes me want to reread the entire dune thank you for awaking my love for the books if I can find them again
Watching again a few years later, I am reminded of FH’s brilliance and your commitment to excellent storytelling 👌
I just finished parts 1-6, and you got me hooked man! You did a great job! Makes me want to read them for myself now. Imma check out everything else you have too. Keep em coming man!
i could listen to you saying the spice melange all day
This is amazing. Thank you. Hoping this video can influence others to give the book a try.
Utterly love your series highlighting the Dune books. You bring the books alive and explain the characters and plots {plans within plans within plans) so well. Thanks for this
Thank you so much for making this series! I own Dune (the first book) but could never really get into it personally. However, the way you explain the story is poetic, clear, and exceptionally entertaining
Despite having not actually read them, being able to toss out references from the later books (like the Honored Matres) is worth some serious nerd cred ;)
As a sci fi lover I can’t believe I’d never found your channel Earlier. I love how you can tell what passion projects each video is
Sometimes it sounds cheesy but I love that the narrator really gets in it!
I just realized how much Warhammer 40k was influenced by Dune
Same.
Yeah Jesus Christ haha
Except I think I'd much rather live in dune than Warhammer cause fuck that
You and literally everyone who know 40k man
40k was influenced by everything tbh. I dont think games workshop has any original ideas of their own.
so much dedication. I hope you aren't overworking yourself. Take your time for your and everyone's health. we will wait. wish you all the best. Cheers from georgia.
I read the first book years ago but never knew the story got so crazy in the sequels. I'm gonna have to read these now.
Thank you for being on youtube.
Dude, you have to make audibooks. Like seriously.
well obviously.
You need to learn how to spell. Like seriously.
Is there a problem with them?
Yeah,he should really make those audi books for those German cars.
Most definitely needs to make audiobooks... I don't even care what they're about. With his storytelling skills, he could read the ingredients list off the back of Hamburger Helper and make it enthralling.
Hi Quinn! I just wanted to say thank you for all of your work over the years bringing this series to new eyes. When the movie was announced a few years ago, I watched the trailer and two days later, your video on spice melange popped up in my recommended. I slowly knocked out video after video until I decided to tackle your overviews of the books. After seeing the movie, I went back and rewatched your videos with a new fervor until I couldn’t take it any longer and bought the books for myself.
I’m currently a hundred and change pages in to Children of Dune, and I haven’t read a book without losing interest partway through since I *had* to read books a decade ago in high school, and I want to thank you again. Not only have you brought an amazing series to my attention, you’ve resparked the love I had for reading when I younger.
Reading through Dune and Dune Messiah, I found myself drawing what I think is an interesting parallel to prescience as portrayed in the novels. Having watched your full overviews in the novels multiple times, there were parts that I felt like I already knew, all the way down to recognizing the quotes you used - and it gave me a sense of security, I was in a place “I had already seen,” as Paul does entering situations he has seen in his visions. It gave me an exhilarating feeling to reach the small sections that were left out or briefly summarized in your videos, I didn’t know what was going to happen, I knew what would happen in the end, but in the moment to moment, I was blind.
I hope that makes sense to and can be related to by at least one person out there.
And Quinn, if you see this, thank you again. I look forward to your future Dune videos, and I’m excited to dive in to other series you have recommended. You have exquisite taste.
