TMA_1 Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 this is a pretty silly topic but is just meant for fun. It is about the characters that have the most attributes in one area. Like the wisest, or the coolest blah blah. Here are mine.The most emotionally stable: ChaniThe strongest personality: Baron VladimirThe wisest: Leto IIGreatest of moral character: Duke LetoMost fun: GurneyThe most intelligent: Piter (I just love him too much.lol I have a bias for him so I dont know if it is fair).The most thought provoking: Leto IIThe weirdest: Bijaz and Leto II. Both extremely out there.lolThe most dangerous: FenringIll say more of mine later. You guys add your opinion. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Most tragic: Dr. Yueh, and Duke Leto.TMA: I'm a big Piter fan too. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 The most dangerous: Duncanif you put together all his lives he would be a God and invinible in everyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 The most dangerous: Duncanif you put together all his lives he would be a God and invinible in everyway.yes, but he couldn't recreate himself. He was dependant on the Tlailaxu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted February 13, 2003 Author Share Posted February 13, 2003 very true. I meant dangerous as in how intelligent, cunning, sneaky, strong, everything. Duncan was indeed very smart and one of the greatest sword masters in the Duniverse history, but he was held down by too many moral virtues.

Andrew Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 your right, but if he got his memories back from every life, he would have a vast knowledge of fighting and knowledge of everything.and i just got 5 dune books to read over my spring break for my dune essay.but duncan was alos a mentat, so emotion might not plague him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 he was a mentat in some of his incarnations, yes, but he also had a very strong moral awareness, which seems to have permeated all of the incarnations we see of him.I'm not saying he's not very dangerous, of course. I'm simply debating your statement that he was practically godlike/invincible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Yes, I have no problem with what you are saying. It would be kool if Duncan and Telgar?tegar? miles teg? me forget his name, anyways, if someone had duncan and miles tegs powers, now that would be great.(and maybe a little sandtrout from leto II for superpowers) :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Yeah, that would be sweet! He'd be hyperactive-master-strategist-with-a-million-memories-man! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quoudam72 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Paul's sister Alia is kind of tragic also.I would also agree that Leto II is a very thought provoking character. Even if he was the "Worm tyrant" I liked his character without him humanity would not have survived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanguard3000 Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 I'd have to disagree with that one. Piter was pretty perverted too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted February 14, 2003 Author Share Posted February 14, 2003 yeah, just add ultra genius and an even more twisted (pun intended.hehe) personality. Piter was one sick freak. I dont like how the prequels overly focused on the Baron being a pervert. The subtlties of Frank's writing expressed it even better. "drug the boy, I dont want to wrestle tonight". That thing he said gave me chills of fear. Instead of expressing perversion in a blunt fashion, they should have made it mysterious, so that our own minds could just go cold. The mystery adds to what we dont want to see and therefore makes it worse. That goes for a lot of things. subtility adds to imagination and imagination is the key to a good book in my opinion.

Anathema Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Yeah, the baron always tried to appear polite and decent- wich he usually didn't succeed in lol.And Piter was a genius, but he was also unstable and overconfident. I liked it when he died lol. I hate the part in the prequels where he supposedly could see through time when he got spice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quoudam72 Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 The Baron and Piter were quite the pair. TMA_1 what you say about the Baron is so correct sinster character that Baron. I think Lynch did a good job in bringing this fact out about the Baron without ever going into detail (except maybe the scene when Piter explains "the plan").

TMA_1 Posted February 14, 2003 Author Share Posted February 14, 2003 yes, just the gazes that the baron gave in Lynch's Dune emphasized perversion. He did a great job and the actor who played the baron really did exellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMA_1 Posted February 14, 2003 Author Share Posted February 14, 2003 yes, the baron in lynch's movie expressed perversion in just his glares. Like when he gazed upon feyd after he had his steam shower. disturbing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
