I donno, was kinda good when he died (for the first time), being big and the Sauds still wasted him. Emphasized their prowess. And stuff.

His next life hes supposed to be a philosopher. Mamoa is too caveman to be a philosopher. Also, why the hell would The God Emperor want to keep a caveman around?

Leave Jason Mimosa alone. He's likely the only reason your girlfriend watches anything with him in it.

He's not talking about Leto's Duncans, he's talking about Hayt, who was trained as a mentat and Zensunni philosopher.

Using your own quote he says "and much more" (much more than just strength).

Theres not much more to a caveman and Mamoa only acts like a surfer bro

Well, at least he has the mongrel strength in abundance.

I'm sure he could work with some kind of acting coach to prep him for the few lines he'd have as the mentat golah.

See how 'Dune: Prophecy' will explore the war against 'thinking machines' (exclusive)

See how HBO's prequel series 'Dune: Prophecy' will depict the war against thinking machines, also known as the Butlerian Jihad, in EW's exclusive photos.

This show looks to be adapting Brian Herbert books. The Butlerian Jihad is a lame Terminator ripoff now 😆

Uh, wasn't the Jihad a religious war against people who used computers ? If it was against a warlike faction of sapient machines either Dune history is a lot darker than I remember, or that's some pretty 'war on terror' loose use of jihad there.

In the real Dune books its completely unclear who the Butlerian Jihad was actually against.

The cyborgs & thinking machines interpretation, thats entirely his son. May he rest in piss.

“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.” -Dune

I think it's logical to assume that the Jihad was against these slavers, destroying their machines, and the subsequent creation and enforcement of a prohibition against thinking machines, so that future similar enslavement wouldn't happen.

His son's books are terrible, they're steaming piles of shit. He's just milking his father's legacy for every penny he can get. Maybe there's some good books in that pile of shit? Not the ones I've read; I had to stop reading them when they created the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen golah and turned him into a retarded cartoon, completely betraying his, IMO, complex character in the original Dune. Read the first four books of the series and forget anything else exists. It ends with God Emperor Of Dune, there is nothing else.
