like Heath Ledger in the Dark Knight! I didnt see Austin at all, only na-baron Feyd Rautha

He did an amazing job! Such a cool character

Would that role be deemed eligible for receiving an Oscar nomination?

@@dalovelee666 if not it should be.

If Bill Skargard played him it would be as amazing as Austin

😈

Bruhh

Bravo

Now we understand why his test wasn't on screen.

After the test is completed he's like, "Ready to go again?" lol

Is that a bene gesserit sister handing over Rabban's necklace to the Baron at 1:39??

Kind of reminded me of Heath Ledger being cast as the Joker. Came out of left field with a really attractive young actor and wasn't something anyone would have predicted. Then you're like wow what a genius casting

@@emor6100 Butler's career is kind of on that same trajectory. Heath was always playing the romantic, pretty boy love interest like 10 thousand things I hate about you and A knight's Tale. Then he had his breakthrough with Brokeback Mountain. But no one took him seriously for playing the Joker at first. But he dived deep into method acting and well the rest is history.

@@costco_pizza yes

@@costco_pizza holy shit never noticed good catch. likely

They do this in so many movies lately, a man or woman of thetryb, ehem, takes control of non-yt peeps to fight the evil yt peeps (in this case literally sknhds)... OK, how many times are we going to repeat this narrative?

@@BoopSnoot you are mentally unstable

@@BoopSnoot God, I even had to look up your dumb lingo. Get over yourself.

@@BoopSnoot what are you on about?

@@ivoryhanzo3041 its called "subtext", its the subliminal message they want to convey underneath the specific story line. Every scifi movie in particular has one.

Agreed. It’s the classic dynamic of humiliation: no respect for those who are weak enough to be humiliated by me, coupled with a constant hope that someone will be strong enough to humiliate me in return… and then mad respect for this person

If you’ve watched house of dragons he’s like Aemond but a darker version of him cause both don’t respect anyone but as for Aemond he seems to respect Daemon & both seem to find joy in killing or fighting, the curiosity as well when Paul uses the voice u can tell he’s curious & I can liking that to Aemond seeing Daemon cut Vaemond’s head off

@@Erysx12 That was one of my favorite parts was, first, seeing him in awe when Paul walked inside and then secondly when he was almost excited when Paul used his Voice.

@@Erysx12 definitely thought there were parallels between him and daemon, such that he likely was inspired and took aspects from that character/actor

@@karelkieslich6772 just common sense

Would you believe me if I told you we get less in the books?

Stop sucking cock, this era of movies is god awful including the joker.

@@The_preserver_x16 I'm so glad the movie showed us a bit more of him

@@The_preserver_x16 that’s so crazy to think about

He wasn’t a conniving coward in the book. He was every bit as cunning, intelligent, as he was here. He was planning to eliminate his uncle and was moving his people into positions of power within the harkonnen chain of command. To that end he willingly faced a gladiator who wasn’t drugged, fought him man to man even after surprise reveal the man was an atreides soldier trained by halleck and idaho. He instructed that the man be given an honorable burial after his death, that he be buried in tact and with his blade. Feyd also deduced what his uncle’s plans for him, arrakis, and the throne were during their confrontation after the failed assasination attempt. The attempt only failed because thufir warned the baron about it. The ‘84 portrayl by sting has no defence. That was just bad writing, and casting across the board.

@@ryanarment5393 > The attempt only failed because thufir warned the baron about it. Could you say more? Saw the movie. How do we get from it being a legitimate assassination attempt, to the Baron offering him Arrakis and the imperial throne. It seems like the movie deliberately portrayed the events as *not* an assassination attempt, but a genuine challenge to accomplish further goals.

@@bawzzzz The Baron had no children, he was aware of, so he could never take the throne as the throne passes from parent to child. Offering it to Feyd was an attempt to secure Feyd's loyalty after the Baron tried to kill him, because the Baron knew Feyd was planning to usurp him. The Baron knew Rabban was worthless except as a blunt instrument. But this is all done in about 5 paragraphs in Dune so it isn't all that well fleshed out so do not expect much depth to it. Everything else is stuff added by Brian or by fans.

👏

✔️✔️

*Billions.

@@Tonius126 Reiner moment

He would have made things even worse. The Fremen would have killed everyone in the throneroom including Feyd, Shaddam and Irulan if Paul died. Without Paul the Fremen would have no one to keep them in check and the holy war would have been even worse.

At that point the Jihad would already happen anyway, even with Paul dying. For the fremen it would have been a martyr death. Quote: "His legions would rage out from Arrakis even without him. They needed only the legend he already had become. [...] if I die here, they'll say I sacrificed myself that my spirit might lead them."

True. But in the end, billions still lived, due to the actions of Paul and then Leto. Leto's peace ensured the survival of humanity. Without this, humanity was doomed.

He is dead already. 😐

He’s dead genius

@@Anthony4949 Agree.

​@@Anthony4949 no duh, the guy didn't say otherwise

@@bccibg OH, I read the book, I know Feyd won't be back, too bad he wasn't used more in Dune 2

Paul is also Harkonnen😂

@@_zenarith_ I'm well aware of Paul's origin. It was just a direct quote from the film.

@@_zenarith_ that’s the point of that line

but was he really a villian 🤨

@@isyyc Not at all. I would go as far as to say Feyd is the hero of the movie. He was only trying to do what he thought was right. In the end, it was Paul and the Fremen who were the evil ones. We support Harkonnen.

@@costco_pizza crinj

@@costco_pizza yeah, someone feeding people to his pet humans is a real hero

@@isyyc He randomly slits the throats of people around him for amusement and pleasure, and has a group of cannibals around him, presumably because, once more, it gives him amusement and pleasure. And a rush of power. The people around him were constantly trembling in fear because he might randomly kill them next. And he was openly described as a sociopath and as psychotic by people who seem to know what they are talking about when it comes to such things. I'm not sure what else you could possibly need to determine him as a villain? "I am a villain" tattooed on his forehead? If the reason you say this is because Paul might cause more death/destruction in the end, ok, but it's not really an either/or situation. They can _both_ be villains. If you can't determine that a sadistic sociopath with no regard for life is supposed to portray a villain, well, I'm not sure what you would consider a villain at that point.

Correct

Is it psycho?

Same

I also thought it was Bill. Stellan Skarsgård plays the Baron though

Thats incredible. I knew it was butler. But when I heard his accent I was so delighted to find he was pushing expectations. I predicted butler was going to steal the show but replicating skarsgård's accent was such a... almost Daniel Day Lewis stroke of brilliance. It was just not necessary but it felt like he really wanted to treat the audience to something special. I had a huge goofy grin on my face every time he was on screen because he really acted the shit out of this role and I'm so happy he did. I'm getting a second wave of delight in knowing he was so unrecognisable that people mistook him for a completely different actor. What a performance :D

I thought he exact same thing. Austin Butler is an insanely good actor. Blew me away

He's gona burn out as fast as Tom Hardy. Also dont forget he was in Once upon a time in Hollywood, before he had plastic surgery.

@@The_Comedian556 Tom has been around for over 20 years. What fast burning do you speak of?

​@@ludiqtitan "What fast burning do you speak of?" What has Hardy done in the last 5 years? Between 2010 and 2015 he was in EVERYTHING. Then he made his TV show and.....nothing. Great talent, chewed up and spat out. Its sad because He is a great actor, one of my favourites. But it seems to be a common theme with actors now days, they suddenly rise, star in 2-3 major films then theyre gone. Unlike the old days where an actor would steadily work for 10 years before they got their big break then remain there for another 10 years. Its worse for actresses. Just look at Emily Blunt and Jodie Comer among others. Hardy was referred to as "the modern Brando" in 2012.

@@The_Comedian556 hopefully Hardy releases Taboo season 2 🙏

@@MisterMike101 Hmmm Nootka. It’ll never, it’s been like 7 years.

This is so true. Same.

Me too. Paul just failed to compel me. He's lacking charisma and determination. I feel boring watching him 'i dont want do this do that' for like 3/4 of the movie.😂

@@gabrielferreira8393 actually i saw lots of people feel the same way but they often dont say it out loud in fan space because fanboys will attack us like this 😂 like we dont allow to have different opinions.

Unfortunately she won't be in Messiah as she wasn't in the book. While there is a small chance she'll be in the movie would be a pretty big change from the book.

@@purpledragons1146 Lea Seydoux herself said that she will be “in the 3rd one” in several interviews. I’m just going by what she said. Plus her husband was excluded in the movie therefore the likelihood of her being in “Messiah” isn’t so low.

It's based on a book...

Ledger was an anti-hero

@@LichenAndMoss lol no.

yes, I hearing so many people wanting to smash that lol.

You are a psyco like him lol

You send letters to serial killers in prison, don't you...

sociopaths tend to do that. Animalistic instinct that attracts preys

Nobody's perfect 🥰

Who do think will play Ghanima and Leto II?

@@milutinstankovic4638 i mean we wont see them in Villeneuves dune, iirc he only wants to do one more movie (messiah), children of dune will probably be in a whole different format if it is adapted (and either way the actors would not be forseeable now since they would need to be child actors at the time of filming, meaning they arent in the acting world yet probably)

@@milutinstankovic4638 If we ever have Children of Dune, I see Ghanima as Mackenzie Foy or even Ana de Armas, but I have a hard time imagining someone for Leto II, I feel that being such a complex character makes it difficult for me to see an actor and say: oh! this is perfect. Above all because I think it should give an aura of authority but at the same time a perhaps young face at the beginning, since I saw James Mcvoy it has been difficult for me not to see him as Leto II, although the series was not the best, I think he did an excellent job, so maybe someone who looks like him

Haha. Of course we’ll make it 200 hundred years. Likely even more than a 1000…
