He's the best character in the book. He has the most interesting internal monologues and sheer plotting autism. The new movies completely destroyed anything good about him by stripping all of that away and turning him into a generic, mute floating fat guy instead of a genius schemer. Denis really butchered him.

I haven't watched the '84 movie or read the books yet, I just learned about the character's portrayal in the film was surprised at how Hollywood allowed Lynch to get away with it. I thought a lot of people believe the new movie is better than the old one?

No one tried to bury it it's a 4 hour long snoozefest with as much action as starwars episode 2.

Spoiler alert but in the later books Paul's sister is essentially possessed by memories of him (her grandfather), making her sort of trans, with her being a predator on young men and them being disgusted by the unfeminine way she acts.

If they film Children they'll have to cover his possession of Alia and plotting through her. Classic trope of a genius who happens to be male fat and ugly only getting ahead by working through a female figurehead

Then Paul's ten year old daughter Ghanima willingly commits to marrying the Prince Corrino who is an adult.

Actually I lie. She commits to marrying her twin brother, but getting the business from the prince in secret to make babies. Cause her brother has no dick because he stuck sand trouts all over himself.
