10,000 years before the birth of Paul Atreides, before the universe knew them as the Bene Gesserit

    I just hope this isn’t the start of the “Marvelification” of Dune…

      What about Star Warsification?

      No Baby Kwisatz Haderach for you?

      I mean, that’s already kind of happened with the Brian Herbert/Kevin J Anderson novels, so…

      I don’t hate those books the way some people seem to. The ones set in the distant past flesh out the universe nicely. They’re just definitely not as good as what Frank wrote.

        I can’t stand those books. Anderson’s writing is like a 5th grade report. Tell them what you are going to say. Say it. Tell them what you told them.

        He may need a recap of what each character is thinking and feeling every 3 or 4 chapters, I don’t.

        Plus Frank would let the world be background for the story. All ‘world building’ is only in focus when interacting with the story and characters. World building for its own sake seems masturbatory to me.

        Excellent point. I have avoided them thus far but I have also heard some are good

      If it makes money, suits will ruin it. Just enjoy the good stuff before they do.
