What Does Paul Atreides Actually Become In Dune Messiah - Dune Timeline Explained

In the books, the choice of the name "Muad'Dib" is also an ironic twist, as Paul had seen in the tent that in the future his Fremen legions would call him Muad'Dib. When Stilgar asks him to choose his name, he tries to avoid calling himself Muad'Dib to try and move off the path of the Jihad, so he choses the name of an innocent, cute looking desert mouse, but he didn't know the Fremen called that mouse... Muad'Dib. As a compromise, he then choses to call himself Paul Muad'Dib to try to avoid that future, but it doesnt matter, because in the end the Fremen end up calling him Muad'Dib. It's one of those things you don't realize in a first read, but it's probably Frank Herbert's way of making you question whether or not Paul is really in control or if he's just moving towards the future he already saw anyway.

I love stories were the characters are neither good or bad but somewhat ambiguous this gives them layers, complexities, and nuances we as the viewer can relate to.

Ain't no way a video this well put together is a first video, and it'll just keep getting better?? Please keep going bro, rooting for you!

Dude if this is your first video you have to keep going it would be a tragedy if you stopped I wager if you keep going you’ll be up there with dune YouTubers like Quinn’s ideas keep going you are doing great and will only get better with time this video is incredibly detailed and I hope to see more to come good luck

Great concise description of events, well put together 👍🏽

praying this hits the algorithm

You're so underrated man, Amazing video!

Really liked your video. Great job explaining the storyline and the video was visually interesting.

Awesome video, keep the excelent work, waiting for the next video already

Amazing video. Really looking forward to your future videos.

crazy how good your first video looks! Keep it up!

F. Herbert wrote the fascinating & speculative “Dune” with ingenious settings like some tech limitations. On the other, he also knew such limitations block civilizational development, ending the story as a tragedy. I hope D. Villeneuve solves the dilemma with a humane & hopeful movie adaptation in the 21st century, for we are now getting the ability like Paul’s genetic memory or prescience with the internet or AI.

Great stuff, looking forward to future videos!

I would just like to say that Paul had little love for the benejezzerits. In the new movies, it portrays this a little, but back in the 90s, they made a trilogy on TV and in that version, Paul had more anger towards his mother for what she was. He still loved her, but this new movie doesn't quite hit the mark on how much Paul hated and distrusted them. Paul was also more hesitant to take the mantle of Mau'di. He was practically forced into it, but the new movies tend to make it seem like he started to believe it himself and was more willing to take the role.

Finding this masterpiece was prophesied indeed❤ Amazing breakdown!

This video was so good please make more, this is an instant subscribe

Thank you for this video!

Super interesting, I’ve never really known of the Dune books or movies. I didn’t love part 1 but after part 2 I’ve gone down the rabbit hole that is Dune lore- fascinating universe. Great video 👍👍

Amazing video, thanks

I would LOVE to see your video on the later books. Especially heretics and chapter house, which are actually my favourite. People think that it ended on a cliffhanger and we'll never know where frank planned on taking it, but honestly, I think he wrapped it up very well in chapterhouse dune. It's a sudden ending, the characters clearly have more stories of their own in the future, and there is a hopeful vibe. It's like the turbulence of the path Paul and Leto II set humanity on has passed and now we are equipped to evolve, become even more powerful, and actually progress the species.
