Paul saw the golden path but just couldn't suffer the horrible sacrifice he would be forced to make. He was so sad to find out that his son had actually accepted to make it instead of him.
If this is really your first video, helluva job. Keep it up! I just finished reading messiah and have to read children. I’ll watch your next video after that
Thanks for this video! There’s was a video like this but it was so long that I couldn’t completed this but this right in my alley! Thank you, prob the best explanation and incite of understanding dune!
He’s technically not leto II, leto II was killed in the end of the first book. The second book he has twins and just names one of them leto. So hes basically just leto
I find Siona to be an arrogant person who doesn’t seem too think anything threw, I know Leto had all this planned out but to go and kill the god emperor without having a plan of who to make sure the empire stays stable and not have a famine and civil war happen. And all this because she thinks Leto is evil but yet she thought she would be a better leader. Well she saw how that turned out
IMO Leto 2 is the hero of the series. He was willing to make the sacrifice Paul couldn’t for humanity. Most will think of him as a grotesque villain, but deep down he made the choice very few would for the greater good-whereas Paul hijacked his presence to fulfill his immediate goals.
@@brennansmith6474 because it was the only way to save humanity. He also made himself a monster and doomed himself to thousands of years of loneliness for the sake of humanity
@@brennansmith6474 because he can see the golden path in a conversation he has with Paul confirms that Paul saw the same thing too, but was too afraid of the consequences of trading his humanity to go down that path. But Paul does admit that it was the only path.
@@amber88565 the golden is evil because it humanity one people we will never know in the books it visions our prophecies are real if the books are against charismatic leaders it failed
I really liked how the bene tlelaxu (basically the male version of bene jesserit) tried to create their own kwisats haderach but the person killed them self this shows that the KH operation is really dangerous and has no room for mistakes
I wonder whether the movies and Dennis Villeneuve understand or embrace the perspective of the prophesies. It is easy to just label Paul as a dictator and "subvert expectations" that way, not willing to upend the perspective again. Especially, since that is mostly the domain of the "God Emperor" book, and not Messiah. And the final resolution of the "Golden Path" was arguably never written or completed by Frank Herbert himself. It is not known if the ending that was written really represents the original vision.
