Finished the Prelude to Dune trilogy and it's actually really enjoyable. Brian Herbert doesn't deserve the hate he gets.
>>24753717He deserves more hate. He doesn’t write novels, he writes outlines to novels that someone better could flesh out into something okay, but instead get fleshed out into shit because of his writing “partner”
>>24753731Which of his Dune books have you read?
>>24753734All of them; because I’m autistic.The Frank books are sublime and I enjoy rereading them. The Brian books are awful and I read them once only so I could say I had.
>>24753735>because I’m autisticSay no more, thanks for your opinion but I'll ignore it.
>>24753738I’ll be surprised if you find anyone who read Princess of Dune and isn’t autistic
why does the leftist youtuber i watch only because hes one of the few youtubers that takes philosophy seriously and actually reads books, love dune?
>>24753748Because it undermines the Christ Myth
>>24753741which of the 6 books are you referring to? i dont think any of the books brian wrote had that title
>>24754026Fuck off, nigger, don’t challenge me in my autism kingdom
>>24754066>ai generated coveri accept your concession
>>24753731I've only read Dune 1-6, The Eye and the Dune Encyclopedia. But I thought KJA's Clockwork Angels books were decent. At least the two I read were. Perhaps I just have nostalgia goggles on because I'm a huge Rush fanboy.

Brian Herbert couldn't even manage to accurately relate Frank Herbert's actual biographical details in his afterword to DuneHe also lied repeatedly about how many notes Frank left behind, what format they were in, and the circumstances in which they were foundJust a shameless, lazy, inveterate bullshitter
>>24754162What did he get wrong?
>>24754162Even if he didn't leave any notes at all, his family still owns the IP and can do what they wish with it. Dune purist faggots are the worst.
>>24754766it's not about being a dune purist, it's about respecting the work that someone made before you and not tarnishing it with your gayslop bullshit just because your dad wrote the originals. he'd give brian a good hearty slap across the jaw if he could come back from the grave i tell you what!
>>24754732Brian says in the afterword, and indeed it is the very first line:>In 1957, Dad flew to the Oregon coast to write a magazine article about a U. S. Department of Agriculture project there, in which the government had successfully planted poverty grasses on the streets of sand dunes, to keep them from inundating highways.Frank himself stated in 'The Sparks Have Flown', and amusingly it is also the first line:>Back in 1953, I was going to do an article (which I never finished) about the control of sand dunes.A little further into the afterword, we have:>[Frank] used what he called a "technique of enormous detail," in which he studied and prepared notes over a four-year period, between 1957 and 1961, then wrote and rewrote the book between 1961 and 1965.Frank Herbert himself wrote, in 'Dangers of the Superhero':>Dune began with a concept whose mostly unfleshed images took shape across about six years of research and one and one-half years of writing. It was all in my head until it appeared on paper as I typed it.I will leave the others to your own research
>>24755133Sounds like Frank started doing his research on the grasses of the sand dunes in 1953. He then visited them in 1957 and scrapped the article as he got the inspiration for Dune. I imagine after that is when he did more research into deserts, Arabian culture, and Islam.The four years of writing might be about notes and the entire writing process, and the final copy took one and a half years to write.
>>24755615false, and there are obvious and direct contradictions
>>24755619How do you know what his son wrote is false?
>>24755673there are already irreconcilable differences in the two accounts, which you are apparently too retarded to see. shitty AI?go read the articlesand these are not the only accounts of Frank's that confirm his timeline
>>24755682>shitty AI?Oh, you're just retarded. Got it.
>>24755698>still didn't go read the articles>didn't attempt to find the other accounts alluded tosubhuman
>>24753738You lost, anon.
>>24755704I'm not going to find your proof for you.
>>24755757I already found the proof and pointed your retarded ass towards itrejecting reality makes you a lolcow
>>24753717I haven't read it yet. What am I in for?
This thread entire thread is a low IQ autist (OP) seething that smarter autists have a better take on Dune lore.
>>24755905There's been no discussion on lore, it's all about whether Brian got wrong the years his father worked on the book.>>24755884I really loved how they fleshed out Fenring in this trilogy, he's probably one of my favorite characters in it. Also, Bene Gesserit STDs.

>>24754087dune encyclopaedia bro
>>24756018>IF YOU READ THIS BOOK YOU ARE LITERALLY DISRESPECTING FRANK(You) look like thisBtw it doesn't make sense to read Messiah and not Children of Dune because of the preacher.
>>24756118Saving this image, thanks. God-Emperor of Dune is also a masterpiece, I don't see how people can skip it.
>>24756118Nigger I can barely see this tiny ass text.
>>24756963NTA but it's mocking the image that dude replied to. You can see the full text there.
