This video of course will contain spoilers for the book: God Emperor of Dune. Of the many great and powerful Dukes, Barons, and Emperors of the Dune Universe none have had more impact than the God Emperor, Leto II. His eventual powers would dwarf those of even his father, Paul Atreides. His influence outgrew the guild, all of choam, even the Bene Gesserit. The great houses of the Landsraad were rendered irrelevant. He controlled the flow of spice throughout the universe, and no one moved throughout his empire without his knowledge. His prescient eye reached to the furthest reach of time, almost nothing was hidden from him. He was the most powerful human being who ever lived by far. And the most oppressive imperial dictator of all time, never before had the whole of humanity been held in such a tight grip.
But even he was vulnerable. The God Emperor Possessed secrets. These hidden vulnerabilities are ultimately the key to his undoing. The first of the God Emperor’s Secret’s which Duncan Idaho was supposedly put in charge of maintaining, was simply the fact that he was vulnerable. He was not truly a god as many throughout the human universe truly believed, he could be harmed, he could be killed.

Leto certainly allowed himself to be killed. At least, in the sense that he deliberately made a bloodline of Atreides who were invisible to prescience, and fostered their rebellious urges. If Siona didn't kill him, then her descendants eventually would. This was explicitly part of the plan!

I hope that Dennis Vilneuve's Dune becomes smashing hit and that he will continue to transform Herbert's work onto the movies

All the “secrets”, “spices”, etc in this story are just allegories related to the KFC Secret Recipe

Siona saying, secretly in her room: "Ha, I figured out your secrets to defeat you Leto!"

Agreed on Leto II essentially committing suicide.

I feel like the God Emperor was the most human, especially with his vast multitude of inner lives and genetic memories. His humanity is also the very thing he has to sacrifice in order to push the human race into another evolutionary milestone.

The necessity of Leto's death just caps his tragic life. He separates himself from humankind, he binds us all into mellenia of enforced peace, he patiently breeds his own family until he creates the one his prescience can't see, he's presented with a woman he falls in love with, who reciprocates that love, without the ability to physically share love, and allows himself to be killed...The Golden Path was survival, but what a price had to be paid for its success. Leto II is my all time favorite fictional character. Children of Dune Ghanima.....“He runs to tire himself,” Ghanima said. “He’s Kralizec embodied. No wind ever ran as he runs. He’s a blur atop the dunes. I’ve seen him. He runs and runs. And when he has exhausted himself at last, he returns and rests his head in my lap. ‘Ask our mother within to find a way for me to die,’ he pleads.” Leto had been thinking of death for a very, very long time.

Leto definitely, on some level, desired death; and a death that came at a time when he felt love rather than sorrow was in some ways, an earned death for the misery he had endured; as was the agony of his final moments for the misery he had inflicted. There's a poetry in all of it.

Leto didn't just allow himself to be assassinated... he intentionally engineered Siona's ability to be a free thinking dissident along with her innate ability to evade prescience. One could say he longed for someone to come along who could undo him. That development was the next step in the Golden Path he was leading humanity through.

Siona throws a bucket of water at Leto

Leto II had another secret that apparently only the next-to-last ghola figures out: Leto's weakest point, aside from contact with water, is his remaining very human biology. The face is a facade, an affectation for the citizens, and probably makes communication easier either way. His original body, and therefore brain, are still where they started, down near the nubs that are left of his human appendages. It is here that Duncan aims with the lasgun, though he (mostly) misses.
