    Saying the BG were the “most powerful” is questionable. They were one of a few major powers in the Imperium. The Guild, for example, was arguably as or more powerful-Paul’s key to the throne was forcing the Guild to kneel.

      True! You know your lore. That was one thing about the new movies that had me puzzled. I know they have to make choices when adapting to film, but the guild was forgotten in these new movies. We got a look at some guild navigators at the beginning of the first movie, but they don't appear in the second movie at all. I guess they opted for just showing three factions: Atreides/Fremen, Harkonnen and the Emperor/Bene Gesseret. Well that's 5, but no Guild makes me a little sad. And that's the trouble with knowing the source material of a story. You can't ever be happy with the movie interpretations. I think LOTR got it the closest but even then people were mad that Tom Bombadil was taken out. Sheesh!

    I think the limitation that the BG have discovered in themselves and that has led them to the inception of the breeding program for the Kwisatz Haderach is of their own making...They can't unlock the male component of their ancestry and as a result they also lack the male perspective when using their prescience and looking into the future. This is why they want to breed for the KH, i.e. the male version of a BG with ancestral memory vision down both lines. But if you look at the places in the book where they describe the reasons for their inability, you notice that they have been limiting themselves without perhaps knowing it; they talk about a place where they "dare" not look because it is "terrifying" to them as women or something in this direction. This suggests that looking there is not dangerous in itself, but is made dangerous by the way they feel about it. This suggests that thy are essentially limited in what they can achieve psychically and spiritually because of FEAR - which is deeply ironic because they have also invented the Litany Against Fear which states fear to be "the mind-killer"...They will probably not be prima facie "killed" by looking at that part they want the KH to look at, but just as they can change their body chemistry and their physiology at will, they very likely also conditioned it to respond in a certain way to that side simply by fearing it, to the point that it really would have become lethal for them to look there.
    So their problem is not so much that they wanted to create a being who was by definition more powerful than they and who they, consequently, would never by able to control in the way they wanted to. It is also that they failed to see that they would essentially have no more purpose and hence no more power base once the KH did indeed exist because their vision was this limited. They were very likely also never aware that their limitations were of their own making because they did not even follow their own teachings.

      The only problem is that Kwisatz Haderach never meant to be male, Jessica was meant to have a daughter not a son, but because she loved the Duke, she defied the Bene Gesserit and had Paul, the Bene Gesserit were pissed, but they used the excuse to make peace with the Harkonnen as pretext, when Jessica had a daughter, she was tainted by the water of life, and was label as a abomination by the Bene Gesserit, the same label that Leto II would have later on, after he strip them of their power, Kwisatz Haderach pass from becoming the symbol of the perfect symbol to be labelled a abomination and never try again.

      Yes I know she was supposed to have a daughter, and the Bene gensserit was planning to have her daughter marry Feyd and give birth a male child, which they initially planned that child to be the Kwisatz Haderach.
      So it was always planned to be a male, just not Jessica’s child, so essentially Jessica messed up their plans because she wanted to give Duke Leto an heir.

    I already know this almost 20 years ago, and back then we only have the Lynch's movie and that TV series. He was never ment to be but the thousands of Humanities voice echoed throughout the millennia chosen him, for they themselves knew if humanity were to survive they need a Kwisatz Haderach. But unfortunately for Paul he saw what The Golden Path will do to humanity and what he needs to become and choose to exile himself for his inability to accept the burden. But Leto has no problem with that. Leto II carried that mantle instead.

    To explain such loss of life is easier than people think. Just answer the following:
    Why did the houses, after finding out what the emperor did, still sided with him and against Paul Atreides?
    And on that note, if the houses considered his rule illegitimate, why did he still feel he had to marry the emperor's daughter? The symbolic gesture became irrelevant and would lead to more problems than necessary.
    FYI UniverseGalaxy. Saying it because the majority of Dune fans don't know the difference.

    • @forickgrimaldus8301

      Its essentially simple, Atradies gained too Much Power and the House Took it by essentially Hijacking the Religion of the Fremen, Taking the Only Spice Producing Planet and Swiftly and Somewhat Brutally Taking out the Bene Gesserit Mother, the Emperor and House Harkonnen,
      This essentialily signalled to Every House that House Atradies is a Threat to their Own Individual Power and decided to Strike Now while Paul was essential still stuck on Arrakis. (Also for all the Houses Knew Paul essentially was acting Rouge as they don't really knew what actually happened between the Emperor and House Atradies, so for all they knew Paul was just doing this as only a bid to gain power.)

      honestly I think the Duncan gholas were Herbert's real mystery. He planted Duncan as this ideal type of human, then put him through innumerable lives and deaths and ressurections...he has something parallel to the RM's genetic memory..but as it is all only Duncan, it's impossible for him to become possessed as an abomination the way RM could be. He develops the abilities of mentats, truthsayers, the works..which is facilitated by first Paul and then Leto II who sees the ultimate end of the Golden Path with Duncan resolving the human-machine enmity. This only being possible if Leto II both disciplines the BG and Duncan.

    to eren getting
