hi @coriander do you want to hear my insane Dune hot take now that I finished the book
@coriander Dune and Attack on Titan are the same story
@wallhackio Never saw/read AOT
@wallhackio What I will say is that I know AOT ends up being weirdly fascist and Dune is specifically (and more clearly in the sequels because people didn't get it) a critique of the kind of white-saviour fascism Paul is doing
@coriander Dune had much better intent than AoT but that didn't stop the worst kinds of fan to reading the wrong things out of it
@wallhackio If nothing else, you should also read Messiah, it makes it much more explicit that Paul is the bad guy
A ton of people hated it when it came out because of this =P
@coriander yeah I put a hold on it through the library when I learned this information
@wallhackio I would also recommend keeping going with the series but that's because I adore Frank's weirdness and by the time you read God-Emperor you realize that the first book was extremely normal by his standards
But not everyone is up for Frank's weirdness
@coriander I probably won't read the whole series because life is too short but still noted
