Hmm did they write themselves into a corner with Garruk's corruption? There were worlds he would have been perfect for but he beat everyone he came across and the base power imbalance between the 5, he was able to smash through Jace and Liliana (the opposite colors admittedly but this isn't pokemon like) and at that point did they realize they'd written their Best Boy Jace (that's a joke) too weak? Liliana's powers are only getting weaker (though her characterization is getting stronger as "Black Mana = Evil" is being actively worked against as time goes on). I mean when he finds Liliana she won't be any match for him as he can easily overpower her like he did before and the only reasons she was able to fight back was a) the Veil and b) Innistrad, which were crutches for her even after her pact with the demons. I sense they realised he'd been too powerful and sort of floundered with how to use him. Which is a pity I was hoping he'd crop up again - they sort of replaced him with Nissa or Vivian for a while - - curious to see where they go with him next, maybe they will try tap into a side of him that resists violence more and perhaps strives to find harmony and balance.... Or just another killing Spree

30 years of the best Lore in the world.....and still no tv serie no anime no cartoon no movies....WOTC get your shit together....

I am one of the relative few that genuinely liked the original game and I am glad the setting is getting some fresh love. I just wish we had a world closer to the first game where there is a war being fought against the rhogarr and that you can encounter some of the battles.

Making an Oath of Redemption Paladin in 5e, and modeling him after Gideon. Such a powerful character, in both a physical and mental sense. Should be fun.

Are they all related

Pssh... Only like 10 seconds for Ulgrotha? Nothing about fan favourite stories like the abduction of Irini Sengir or the betrayal of Ishan's Shade? Nothing about the beloved trio Chandler, Joven and Eron? Granny Sengir's revival to fight in the March Of The Machines?!? Total waste of my time... (obvs joking - well did video - doing engagement)

The female-line and male-line genetic memory thing is interesting. Women have X-chromosomes. Only men have Y-chromosomes.

Given the Fremen constant and high exposure to spice, wouldn’t this have been a constant threat to their developing fetuses?

Have I played magic no do I know the lore yes

I blame the Bene Gesserit. They viewed human emotions as weakness and didn't plan on the possibility that maybe not everyone in their order would be a complete psychopath.

If you read this might I suggest mtg zombies of the multiverse

Now I'm thinking how deeply they will be able to adapt this in the upcoming films and TV shows.

5:27 Geriatric? I don't understand your usage of the word. 7:21 Corroborate means to justify/validate. I think you mean "conspire".

To become a messiah in Dune you need 4 key ingredients. 1. Thousands of years of Inbreeding between nuns and nobility. 2. Exposure to the drug spice which comes from worm larvae. 3. poisonous blue worm p*ss and 4. Spreading very vague tales to a control a primitive fanatical weak minded population in the lies of prophecy.

Nicol Bolas and Nahiri are truly the two most dispicable characters in Magic's lore. Nicol Bolas is just s selfish, uncaring force of malevolence. However, Nahiri is far worse. She's the petty Donald Trump figure of magic. Nahiri knows what she's doing is wrong--she just doesn't care. She wants to hurt Sorin and the multiverse for how it's wronged her. She's just a pathetic excuse of a being with godlike power. Compleation didn't make her bad, it made her worse.

They fear MGTOW.

You said Sorin was Edgar's son. Isn't he his grandson?

there quite a few inaccuracies in the first 6 minutes Edit: I re-watched it and I was mistaken -_-

Great video, made me find out about Emrakul

Reading Children of Dune it was just shocking to me that no one even tried to help Alia at any point. Maybe it's because genetic memory is such a ridiculous concept and it's not clear why a memory wouldn't be static but would exist like an active independent creature somehow, but most of all the repetition of "abomination" really seemed like an attempt to disguise there being no earned reason why it was inevitable and fatal.

I like Dune but genetic memory is a silly plot device.

the dune movie that came out in the 80's is one of my mom's favorites, so i find it nice that im in love with the recent adaptations and now im listening to video essays and timeline vids of the dune universe

I hope WOTC gives Garruk more focus. Where's my boy at?

Where was the opening animation from?

Warning spoilers, dune ahead

Urza is basically Hitler.

I don't think you know the story(ies) very well.

Prescient?

You need to read more if you believe that the Butlerian Jihad was driven by fanaticism. AI had become the feared OVERLORD. THEY TOOK CONTROL AND BEGAN THE ERIDICATION OF HUMANITY.

And what’s a Dook?

It’s pronounced Cor-ino, not Coreeno! Besides, the phrase is ‘The thousand sons of Duncan Idaho’’ !

The Imperium occupies only a small section of the Milky Way galaxy which is 100000 light years in diameter. Humanoids dominate this area but that might not be the case in other areas of our galaxy. The emperor of the known universe used to address the emperor is a term beyond arrogance.

The ur-dragon origin got retconned

This is great, though it missed an important caveat at the end of the Shadows Over Innistrad Block: the Gatewatch didn't succeed at sealing Emrakul away but rather, she chose to seal *herself* away. She sensed that the plane wasn't ready to be cleansed, so she took control of Tamiyo and forced her to use a forbidden scroll that would allow Emrakul to chill in the moon for a while.

BG playing with fire. You can’t even become a RM without opening yourself up to the very real possibility of madness, possession, death… or the little death that brings obliteration.

How do i learn more about the lore of mtg? Id like to start from the beginning

6:24 from my understanding: the three judges are Judge Warrior, Cleric, and Rogue (not Assassin)

This Frank Herbert guy must've had a simp level enthrallment with women.

I do have a quetion. Why does Alia have the Baron's ego as she is not male. I thought only the Kwisatz is able to access BOTH family and gender timeline.

I always thought that the Voice stimulated the reflex pathway of a person to unconsciously do the bidding of someone in the same way that people unconsciously move their hand in response to pain. It basically bypasses the conscious sensory integration of the input and directly skips over to motor output. At the same time, people who are trained in the Voice can resist it in the same way that masochists are able to take pain without moving their hand for example.

Fitzroy's sword became my weapon of choice from the moment i found it, and it carried me through the rest of the game. I was always happy to see him present or mentioned in the umbral stigmas or item descriptions.

something woc is losing more and more of unfortunately

I agree that this is an excellent summary discussing abomination. It really takes reading the books several times to catch all these nuances. Well done!

Probably the best breakdown I've ever seen of this part of the storyline. Only thing I could add is that it seems like Frank took a lot of inspiration from psychology back back in the day (would have been fair new to people around him).

Over my many decades pondering dune, its intricacies still intrigue me to this day. An observation ive made about the BeneG , they really put significant effort devoting countless years and fortunes facilitating the emergence of a being that is by practical definition incapable of being controlled. Not only were their major goals a gamble against the youse at best, they also maintained a gatekeeping position on spices further capabilities. In later novels its made clear that males can undergo spice change the very same way BeneG do, and excluding them was potentially a mistake. Males could have bridged gaps and made the politics of the breeding program significantly easier. A male could father a great many children with similar women allowing significantly more, thousands more lifetimes added to the already diverse othwr menory. Just a few thoughts.

Leto's golden path of 3000 years of pushing carts genius 👏

Apologies up front for my overlong comment. Good video but it got me thinking about my main question(s) about the Dune Universe. I could never fully get into the whole Dune Universe because of the Bene Gesserit. If you're into it all, B.G. included, awesome. Personally, I'd be interested in how that galactic mercantile organisation works, (CHOAM?), and why the Spacing Guild, which seems like it has a stranglehold on interplanetary trade and military operations doesn't just run the galaxy by itself or in tandem with CHOAM(?)and dump the hilariously antiquated notion of ruling by divine right-emperors and dukes and all that-on the trash heap of history. As to the Bene Gesserit, and their "wisdom", ANY woman who has ever had her mother and one or both of her grandmothers, plus assorted aunts, great aunts, etc., trying to all give her conflicting and often contradictory advice knows too well that the idea of an endless line of descendants' voices-whether male or female-would be less than useless. Maddening for sure but HOW is this at all beneficial, let alone a crucial part of the reason the B.G. Order is so powerful and influential? And I'm not buying that the individual Bene Gesserit could pick and choose who to ignore. How? The whole experience would be completely new to anyone attempting to awaken these past memories. A wrong choice seems inevitable, as the choices are virtually limitless, odds seem that the voice that you respond to, listen to, isn't necessarily going to be the wise one or the honest one, it's going to be the convincing one. And regardless, we are all subject to our own foibles, phobias, biases and prejudices, whether "honest" or "wise" or not. Did dying make these ancestral women infallible? Do cave women join in? The women who, during their lives, had no notion of anything beyond their home, their village, their planet? Do the millions of women who held while alive, religious beliefs have anything to say about that now that they are dead? Is it all a sham? The orange Catholic Bible an abomination? Is connecting to a B.G. adept a form of Hell? So many questions. I don't think that Mr. Herbert knew a lot of women. Not saying anything against women. I'm one, we're swell. Awesome. Neat-O, even. But people suck. Some people suck all the time, most only suck some of the time. Taken as a group, of varying suckage, all clamouring for your attention, you're better off trusting in yourself. And if you kind of suck too, it comes to the same thing, so, why am I risking my life to open up this potential trip to the Looney Bin, do not pass Go, do not collect 200 Dollars to listen to people who likely suck about as much as I do? Again, Mr. Herbert may have held some odd notions about women or ancestral wisdom or the value of listening to someone so out of touch that your daily life might seem like magic to them but I'm not buying it.

Loved this video will suscribe for more thanks

Is this The Academy of Ideas guy voicing over?

They fear cheeseburgers.
