  • Hey guys what’s happening? Niyat here with film comics explained. As requested, today we’ll be exploring Paul Atreides, as featured in Frank Herberts expansive Dune universe.
    Paul Orestes Atreides was the first Kwisatz Haderach, the last Duke of House Atreides, the first and founding Padishah Emperor of the Atreides Empire, and the supreme religious leader of the Fremen as the accepted Mahdi.
    The only son of Duke Leto Atreides I and Lady Jessica Nerus, Paul's early years were plagued by suspicions of him being the Kwisatz Haderach.
    Fuelled by the historic prophecies of the Lisan al-Gaib planted by the Missionaria Protectiva centuries ago, throughout his life, Paul found himself inching closer and closer to great power - one that would have unimaginable consequences on the universe.

      Admittedly, there are a lot more names involved that exist today: Lehto, Duncan Idaho, Piter de Vries, House Harkonnen (from the Finnish Härkönen) and its leader Vladimir. Most notably is the House of our boy Paul: Atreides is the ancient Greek term for the son of Atreus, Atreus being the father of King Agamemnon.
      Brings to mind the phrase "Nothing new under the sun." Which was part of the immersion for me, how skillfully Herbert wove bits of our reality into his.

      And thus he allowed the water of life,shattering his soul and became muad'dib
      Thanks to his soul being shattered and effectively being a husk with trillions of souls, muad'dib became jaded and brutal, allowing the jihad despite what embers of paul screaming for the massichre to stop.

    Awesome job, Niyat, and skillful summary of Paul's life. The amazing Dune universe is rich with themes and concepts; the one that stands apart for me is how placing all of your trust, hope and dreams in one person is always dangerous, and Herbert beautifully displayed that warning in Paul's jihad that eventually killed billions. Blindly - that is, uncritically and even worshipfully - following a president, monarch, tyrant, or god-emperor, invariably leads to much suffering and destruction, regardless of how noble the vision.

      The way I see it, it's a statement how the elderly retain so much power in a society built by the young.
      You'd expect the physically strong young one to take the reins the moment their capable, but the reality is that the youngster in question has been 'mentally sabotaged' for a lack of better term. Their growth is deliberately shadowed to prevent usurping.
      The same thing here with the Bene Geserit. I'd figured they would try to whisk the child away and introduce methods and spice gradually into the chosen person. Deliberately pulling away when it suits them and then applying pressure later. The true reality was that the Sisterhood didn't see a true successor, but a blatant power projector for future schemes. If it meant breaking their chosen prodigy, then I'm sure they could figure mental gymnastic for it.

      Logically the BG thought that their ultimate goal (preservation of humanity) was something a Kwisatz would have shared.

The BG play a bigger role in the next two books as the steward of the Golden Path.

    I sometimes wonder what would've happened if Paul had the strength of will to proceed with Golden Path instead of surrendering and having Leto go through with it. Leto was ruthless for 3 millennia, but Paul in some ways was wiser and sticker, yet considerably gentler than Leto. While it's true Paul and Leto both saw Golden Path as the only way to save humanity, its interesting how Paul would've gone about preparing for it, since he didn't merge with sandworms.

    Something interesting about the ability to see the future is the question of if you see one particular path or set of events are you able to change that path or are you blinded by the visions of the possible futures. This question is basically a question of is it the knowledge of a particular set of actions that that really makes them happen or is it a case of you can avoid the problem because of knowledge of it. I understand that there are many different ways to interpret the ability to see the future and time travel and many other things however in this particular case its possible that the ability to see the future or travel in time actually works as a blinding mechanism. A good example of this is with technology and how if one answer to a particular problem is found its very likely that no other options will be found under any circumstances but not impossible to happen its just a case of a certain type of technology will blind you to others that solve the exact same problem but slightly differently from what was first found. You have seen that in the real world because we had a mechanical means to cool down materials to well below freezing with only the use of the sun, however even though this discovery existed well before the common electric freezer or AC it wasn't rediscovered until the traditional freezer and AC were invented because of popularity of those methods and many other things. I will also say that we have a very interesting method of cooling and heating using sound and geometry to make something that is extremely cold on one end and extremely hot on the other. If you are curious about the two technologies I listed search "acoustic cooling" and "solar mechanical freezer" if I can post the links to the concepts or a good idea of them I will edit this post or make another post with the links.

    Molded for greatness, he is, Paul.
    Ways of the word and voice of the Benne Gesserit from his mother, Jessica. Ways of the politics, nobility, and justice from his father, Duke Leto (who is noble in both status AND kindness). Ways of the sword from TWO of the greatest swordsmen in the entire Imperium, no less. One of them being a Ginaz Swordmaster (Duncan Idaho), which is superior in every way, even to a Sardaukar.
    I believe the reason Paul left the Golden Path, was because of his empathy. He SAW he had to take a drastic road in order for humanity to evolve, for humanity to become greater, to avoid stagnation and ultimately become extinct. After reading up on what Leto II did in order to achieve the Golden Path, I can understand why Paul refused to do so. It wasn't weakness, it was just human nature, to empathize. Not that Leto II was evil, Leto II was remarkable in his own way, able to shoulder enough guilt and responsibility to drive a normal man insane. Leto II saw what he NEEDED to do, and he just said "Okay, if no one else will, I will." All for the benefit of the ENTIRE human race, regardless of whether they were good or bad.
    The more I delve into the Dune universe (no pun intended), the more invested I become. God, everything is just so... GOOD! Uuugh.

    Given that the House of Atreides descends from King Agamemnon from ancient Greece, does that make them the descendants of Zeus, of the Greco-Egyptian Argolides and Phoenician Cadmeides or did Frank Herbert was simply considering Agamemmnon from a historic perspective rather than mythological?
    Because I would, otherwise, find this ironic that the ultimate Super-Being happens to be none only the descendant of some of old Earth's early greatest theocratic rulers, but also hinted to be an unsignificanfly _more-but-human_ in ways that even the Bene Gesserit couldn't fathom...

      @@heathwillmann6279 I am pretty sure that the Dune expanded novels explicitly states that years prior the rise of the Titans and Cymeks into political prominence and of the thinking machines, both Greek-descended Old Empire aristocrat-gone leader of the Cymeks/Titans Andrew Skouros/General King Agamemnon and his biological son Vorian Atreides were already claiming to trace their ancestry further back in the "Old Empire" Era to the House of Atreus and Agamemnon of Myceanean Greece. Not as a pseudohistorical putative pedigree but a *matter-of-fact based* historical pedigree. Agamemnon is a mythified historical figure instead of a legendary heroic figure of epic mythology made of composite historical and mythical figures, in Dune lore.
      However, Dune never openly admitted that the former Achaean ruler's claims of divine ancestry were true. They're even completely brushed over. Nevertheless, the expanded lore implies that the House of Atreus always had a foreboding destiny and specialness that might defines and fashions any of their direct genetic descendants in the far future-- this may or may not implies there's something not ordinary about the Atreides's bloodline that may dates back to the Old Empire.

      @@clifftanton8385 to be fair, it's a bit much to ask of any (human)..
      To be "the guy" aka the savior of humanity, you have to build it up to a point where humanity is self sufficient and reliant enough to survive an apocalypse and genocide...and then commit the apocalypse/genocide yourself.
      Leto II killed trillions of people and scattered humanity to the far ends of the universe, everyone ran and fled from his atrocities.
      And ONLY because Leto II was the worst thing that had ever happened to humanity (so far),
      That humanity survive when the robo wars (2) happened.
      Humanity was so spread out from how badly Leto II messed them up, when the robots came back from the edge of the universe to finally wipe out all living beings, it was too hard to find everyone all at once to activate their "nukes".
      The robots had to do it the old fashion way and kill each human one body at a time instead the superweapon they prepared.
      Because the robots hadn't planned for another being to have decimated the human race so badly that they evolved and spread out so randomly and widely,
      That the human race was given enough time to mount an offensive and beat the robos.
      Paul didn't feel like being spice Hitler, even if doing so saved the human race.

I’ve read the Dune books up to Heretics and I’ve yet to read *what* exactly each of the Prescient Atreides saw in their visions regarding what would happen if Leto didn’t make the choice to become what he became. I know only that what was seen was too horrific to countenance.
      The characters such as Thanos, Leto and the God Emperor of Mankind in Warhammer, all made a choice because in truth there absolutely *wasn’t* any choice, the forces arrayed against the future of sentient life in each respective setting was too immense and if measures weren’t taken the outcome was inevitable. So they made the unthinkable choice, because *no one else would* , even if it meant being vilified by history.
