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.

Siona saying, secretly in her room: "Ha, I figured out your secrets to defeat you Leto!" Leto 2, peering into the room with most of his body obscured, listening in doing a fist pump motion with his arm, "yes!"

@jon5620 3 жыл бұрын

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!

Leto realised what the golden path truly was - to set mankind free from the precient minds that controlled them. His father wasnt willing to go all the way to achieve this but Leto engineers his rise and downfall to force mankind to eschew the precience that controls them much like they rebelled against the machines eons before.

Agreed on Leto II essentially committing suicide. He created/groomed Siona to be his own assassin. He knew Hwi Noree was a psychological bomb. He allowed the contrived events of the bridge crossing to occur, despite all the obvious dangers. His time was up, the worm was taking over: it was time for the final stage of the Golden Path, and that could only come about with his death.

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.

@VespoLiveGaming 3 жыл бұрын

...add to that the fact that Leto II's consciousness did not end with his "death" - transformed his consciousness lived on in a fragmented state in the sandtrout that composed his outer shell and the generations of worms that descended from them. It was less a "death" and more of a transfiguration or apotheosis... becoming more like the God figure that so many believed he already was

@wilmersandstrom2826 7 ай бұрын

Her ability to evade prescience was irrelevant to his death. Leto goes into detail about how he chooses not to see when his own death will occur, and in effect doesn't see near death experiences, or by whose hand that knowledge could risk the golden path by altering his actions. He comments on this during some assassination attempts where he is genuinely thrilled for a moment as he is surprised by something he did not expect to happen and then later reflects on the fact that the reason that he was surprised was that he was actually in danger of being killed.

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. Also, I'm pretty sure Leto tells Hwi quite directly that she will die if she crosses the bridge with him, and she chooses to go anyway. Been a while since I read it, though.

@hucklebuck411 3 жыл бұрын

Leto II is one of the most complicated characters in the Dune saga and the book "God Emperor of Dune" is probably the most cerebral and toughest read of the original Frank Herbert novels. Leto II, not seeing exactly how or when he would die, appears to have set up his own death in several ways. He readily embraced his love for Hwi Noree, knowing she had been created as a trap to weaken him. He cultivated Siona, knowing she would never be loyal to him. He made Duncan Idaho, whose latest ghola rendition (who also desired Hwi Noree) was quickly turning against him, the leader of the Fish Speakers and then brought Siona and Duncan together. He then charged one of his most worshipful Fish Speakers, Nyla, to obey Siona in everything. Perhaps knowing that "the worm" was gaining ever more power over his human side, he knew it was time to set things in motion toward his inevitable demise and continue humans down the chaotic "Golden Path" that would in the end save them from extinction. But this is just conjecture on my part.

@patreekotime4578 3 жыл бұрын

I always felt he definitely wanted to die and definitely was putting as many blocks in his own path as be could. 3000 years living with memories spanning 100s of thousands of years? 3000 years of seeing the infinite futures? That all had to have been almost unbearable. A true living horror. And the worm's life cycle definitely put him on a timeline. Had he gone full worm, would his consciousness have been suspended in that body for thousands of more years but unable to communicate or control it, unable to observe the human world but trapped with a human consciousness for a near enternity? True torture. The ultimate horror.

That feels right to me. Just I am so pissed that Herbert decided to let the bad guys(the Petulant Kids that Siona was and Duncan became) seem to have the last laugh. When he was dying was a perfect time for him to call them on their foolish arrogance and to state that even though he refused himself advance knowledge of their backstabbing killing of him, he could read them like a cheap dime store novel. Then they could go off victorious in there dirty scheme but knowing that the only person who could have killed Leto was Leto himself. Something both would have absolutely hated the most(finding out there power play of death was something they could only pull off under his guidance) Which really would have made it end the way I think it should have. I've read the book several times and it's always depressing ending it with it the way it did. You always want whiny kids to realize the only way they got to have their cake and eat it, was because the adult in the room let them.

Leto's mind was still within the sand trout that he split into, just fragmented. I would say it seems most likely to me that he actually engineered this dissolution as the need for that manifestation of himself had come to an end and what was left of his humanity was simply too weary to care about existence in that form anymore, his golden path had already been layed down and humanity was back on the track away from stagnation. The human understanding and perception of his actions were at best the stories told that he himself engineered in order to ensure that path continued beyond his perceived direct influence.

I dunno, not sure it would translate. The most exciting parts of GEoD consist of just a few ppl talking, or even just Leto musing to himself. For me the best part of the book (my favorite science fiction book of all time!) was the feeling that somewhere, at some point, this was a real being, and the feeling of discovery of getting to know the inner thoughts of such a being kept me absolutely enthralled the whole way. That said, while I couldn’t put it down, I have to admit that it is objectively a boring book, and I find it difficult to imagine audiences would enjoy it as a film without the producers changing it into some kind of action packed slug fest (pun intended) and that would be a total insult to the original book. Who knows though? I’m always hopeful that I’m wrong about this kind of thing.

@patreekotime4578 3 жыл бұрын

@@brettc6132 There is plenty of action in God Emporer. How it would be approached and especially how his prescience trips would be approached would laregly be determined by how Children of Dune was handled, since each film would have to build on the previous film. So if the plan was to make a giant multipart series (highly doubtful) it seems like the filmmakers would have to be laying that groundwork the whole time and establishing how the visual storytelling works. Heck, that would really have to extend all the way back to this first Dune film since the design of the sandworms would have to be able to accomodate a God Emporer character later.

Thanks. Leto II definitely allowed himself to be killed. In the two later books, we see Odrade in the desert of Dune, with Waff and Sheanna. There, she has a sort of vision, created by a confluence of genetic memories. In her mind, she sees the way Dune was; she sees the river Idaho and the bridge where Leto met his fate. She thinks to herself 'he chose the time & place of his death.' He had achieved Siona, who was naturally hidden from him (and thus, from any oracle). He wanted to be replaced by her; to have her destroy him. When he found out that Siona & Duncan had gone to the village of Tuono, he told Moneo to change the wedding plans. He said (rather emphatically), "We will wed in Tuono!" He knew he represented humankind's past. He wanted Siona to 'conquer' that past, and assume the mantle of the future. He knew when to bow out, and it seems he did it in the nick of time. tavi.

I noticed the image you used for the Great Houses displayed House Ordos among them. My first introduction to Dune was the Dune 2 dos game. I was disappointed when I realised Ordos was not actually mentioned in the novels.

Iay not have been able to see his own death, but he certainly would have been able to see the time of it. That time between his presence and that time without him. So he timed allowing Siona to see his weakness perfectly. Leto was such a tragic figure too but not as tragic as his Aunt.

Yeah ! Enough of what we already know , enough with batman superman , star wars and star trek , Those stories have been done to death and have nothing to give , The weel of time , dune , the foundation and many other stories have a lot of things that have not been done in a teatrical fashion , and could be really made in extremely cool stories

You should definitely review the Dune board games, the chaps at Shut up and Sit Down could help you out. Apologies, I'm going to post this on some of your other vids as I would love to get a Dune oriented recommendation.

What I find ironic about all of this is that one of the main characters from the original story outlines even the god emperor himself. A person that died originally trying to defend and secure the future of the bloodlines. Remember. Each Gola remembers up until the time of death. So each new Gola would change slightly. After 3500 years the Gola seen the truth of it. It was the love of the Duncan that both saw the rise and the fall of the atraides bloodline. If Herbert would have finished the series it's my belief the Duncan's was the true hero of the story. It was the Duncan's that truly gave everything for the golden path

@@CnCDune well, it was commentary on contemporary government in the mid 20th century. 1984 in many ways is kind of inevitable because it is about power doing all of the things that power has always done, but with the grasp of technology. Brave New World completes that picture by including the influence of Capitol and corporations. Both are inevitible.

I heard the idea that The Honored Matres in the 5th book were fleeing from the hostile Kwisatz Haderach. It would make sense considering how many time did Leto II spent to create a human that is invisible to prescience.

Well, as far as i remember, it was clear from the beginning, that Lito has the ability to see a wide spectrum of possible future/outcomes and could pick a path that is most suitable for him/his goals. The story tells, that his rule helped to prevent human race to become extinct and to thrive instead under his rule. But he also understood that he cannot rule infinitely, because any person/power that initially good/helpful, and keep being so over long period of time, at some point will become an obstacle for further evolution/development. And so, it must be ended somehow. That's why we see how Lito himself was fostering the many different parties/rivals and nurturing their growing opposition to him, instead of just removing them from the playfield, because they were posing a threat to his godly existence.

Even 'God Emperor of Dune' wasn't one of my favorites of the saga, i really felt compassion for him. He was a kind of christ but in the most tragic way because almost nobody liked him and was alone in an enormous time of his life, dealing with save human race.
