Can't wait for "Analyzing Evil: Paul Atreides"

It is amazing how Feyd is basically just "enjoying the moment" while everyone else is just getting screwed on different levels throughout the new movie, everyone is playing 4d Chess while Feyd is almost eternally in a state of dueling even when outside the arena.

Feyd was honestly having the best week of his life

To be honest, I just thought it was just gonna be pale Austin Butler with the Elvis voice, but he did phenomenal, and I wanted to see more of him.

Fun Fact: Austin Butler was offered the role while having coffee with Denis Villeneuve, without needing to audition. He trained for four months in Budapest, using a fitness regimen made by an ex-Navy SEALs member.

"i ought to drown You in that tub"

Baron: don't be so hasty.

What a fun family huh?😅😅😅😅

Austin Butler as Feyd was easily the best part of a movie that was already a phenomenal masterpiece. He completely chewed up the scenery. I just wish we had more of him, like goddamn

I interpreted that moment where the Baron and Feyd kissed each other as form of narcissism on the Baron's part since he's been trying to live through Feyd and has been molding Feyd into being like him (the Baron).

maybe it was austin butler's acting and interpretation of feyd, but in the arena duel after killing the atreides soldier it seemed to me that he had some respect for the atreides for how he fought. when facing paul he was also gleeful to face paul, as if after facing the atreides soldier it gave him a taste of a true challenge instead of a manufactured one like the fights before, a challenge he was excited to face. it didnt seem to me he had any desdain or hatred for paul, it seemed more like a hint of admiration on paul's ruthlessness and brutality leading the fremen. it seems to me that even twisted as he is, he still has a certain sense of honor, unlike his uncle and brother, and respects strength even in his enemies.

Feyd-Rautha was honestly the best character in Dune Part Two that wasn’t Paul himself

Villeneuve's version of Feyd-Rautha was closer to a cartoonishly evil parody of the character seen in the book, yet I think that in the context of the movie it work perfectly, as with many grey characters including the protagonist Paul having an irredeemably evil antagonist helped making a major blockbuster more digestible for a larger audience.

I was genuinely sad when Feyd died. I knew it was coming, but I wanted so badly for him to be in the rest of the movies. His performance was incredible and the character itself was beautifully entertaining

Actually, in the miniseries Feyd does have a poison gom jabbar he tries to use during the final duel, but is distracted by Paul calling him cousin, and slain.

Still, you raise a good point about his life basically having been mapped out by his uncle, taking away his agency to mold him into a Harkonnen Emperor. A reinterpretation could work where Feyd engages in honorable duels in the Arena not simply to gain the favor of his people, but to try and feel some amount of freedom where anything can happen and his life isn’t perfectly planned out.

I see the final confrontation between Paul & Feyd in Part II as a very twisted passing of the torch to the next oppressor. The new film doubles down on Feyd being a foil to Paul with his determination in combat & even control of his impulses compared to his brother & uncle. Paul might have won the throne but upon being congratulated by Feyd in the latter’s dying breath, it’s clear Feyd died with the greatest fight of his life & winning Paul’s soul.

Villeneuve's introduction of Feyd was amazing. So much menace

The last time I was this early the denizens still called Arrakis "Dune"

Loved Austin’s portrayal. A truly amazing villain.

Horus from Warhammer 40k would make for great analysis - insecurities and feelings of inadequacy leading to terrible things

I’m not gonna lie, dude was actually kind of cool in his own psychotic way. I kept thinking of that while watching in the theater

"Now, without further a'Dune..."
