        I seem to recall Denis making it clear this is where he intends to stop, for exactly this reason.

        goddamnit, I wanted to see

        spoiler

        Leto 2 becoming the sandworm god

        but I guess with some of the disappointing scenes in the 2nd film (Paul taming Shai Hulud, the visions just being shots on a beach) , it probably wasn’t going to go down the way I wanted to. It’s a shame.

        Soundtrack was still awesome, but it did re-use a LOT from the previous film

          At least the syfy miniseries dared to adapt Children of Dune.

          I actually like it. We finally get an Irulan with agency and see Alia as a full character. And Leto 2 getting sandy.

          Not sure how I feel about the Baron narrating in rhyming couplets though. Maybe just a tad too strange, even for Dune.

          But why not? Who doesn’t love a giant worn talking around the fact that he’s created a fascist dictatorship for some vague promise that’ll it all pay off one day? /s

              Oh! Did you not know and were speculating? The movies will only cover the first two books. The third book is when stuff starts to get… odd.

              But the fourth book is mostly talking with an action set piece at the beginning and the end. I didn’t read the next book

                No Im in my 50s and Im spacing whether it’s the fourth or fifth book that is mostly Leto engaging in exposition.

                If ypu missed the last book you missed “Jews in Space” before Mel Brooks thought of it.
