satire is one way to put it, i would say more of a warning from frank herbert about charismatic personalities who use power structures in society to gain power and do terrible things, their actions then feeding a cycle of tyranny and violence.

looks good but if part 2 doesn’t really convey the point of the story and paul’s character then i will be thoroughly disappointed in villenueve.
because the first movie didn't really portray the point, a lot of people recently discounted dune for being a glorification of the "white savior" which is really sad because it is indeed a deconstruction of that trope and warning against people who try to embody it. just one of the inherent faults of adapting the huge amount of text herbert wrote for the story arc lol
