I can't get over the fact that Dune is about an oppressed people fighting for their homeland, waging a jihad to bring down a hegemonic empire by threatening to cut off the flow of their most precious commodity after the empire had assassinated their religious leader's father.

@starlightsrey There isn’t a piece of fiction that has had a greater impact then SW with the possible exception of like Homers Iliad.

Honestly, it looks like the taser caused him to arch back and pull the trigger. His finger shouldn’t have even been on the trigger but I don’t think he meant to pull it in that moment.

@TylerCWhitmore Nothing beats this G sry. The family dynamic is SW is peak fiction that can’t be topped by anything.

@softchatblanc Literally just learn about Napoleon. He fits the tragic hero arc perfectly but is 10x more interesting because he’s real.

@TOVUMBACK @FlyoutChase SW was more inspired by Flash Gordon and old Samurai movies. Dune didn’t invent the tragic hero arc that’s been around for thousands of years.

@FlyoutChase Anakin was inspired by Paul from the original books. And in 10 years when we look back on Dune the popular opinion could easily be that Paul was the best movie character.

It has to be my favorite archetype: the corruption of innocence, where a person slowly loses their sense of clarity or goodness and slips into madness. What makes it interesting is how gradual and believable the change feels. In the process of fighting something they see as wrong, they begin to adopt the same traits and methods they once opposed. Over time, they become indistinguishable from it, losing the very values that defined them in the beginning. As Friedrich Nietzsche put it: "He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."

My favorite character arc is when the protagonist is doomed by the narrative

In 2010, 19-year-old Australian rugby star Sam Ballard was dared to eat a garden slug at a party. The slug carried a parasite, which infected his brain, put him in a coma for over a year, paralysed him from the neck down and tragically killed him 8 years later at age 28.

Rich Ukrainians throw elaborate parties, buy luxury cars, and vacation at elite European resorts. Meanwhile, poor Ukrainian men are sent as cannon fodder against Russian drones and artillery.

@m_stormwitch I don’t totally disagree. Inspiration is there but calling SW a ripoff when the 2 stories are so radically different is where I disagree. Also Dune don’t invent the tragic hero archetype. Idk if you’ve seen Lawrence of Arabia but you can argue Dunes a “ripoff” of that film.

@Member_555 Oh, come on now, desert planet, Anakin's arc being very similar to Paul's? I could go on for days. It was clearly one of George's MAJOR inspirations for SW, and there's nothing wrong about that.
