Paul Atreides Is Not Your Hero | Dune Explained

At the end of Dune: Part Two, Paul wins everything. In Frank Herbert's books, that's only the beginning. Twelve years later Paul reads out the count himself: sixty-one billion dead. And he's not the worst of it. His son turns into a sandworm and rules for three and a half thousand years. This is the whole Dune saga after the films, all six of Frank Herbert's books: Dune Messiah (the story Dune: Part Three adapts), Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune and Chapterhouse: Dune, and why Herbert built his hero to be a disaster. ⏱ Chapters 0:00 What happens after Dune: Part Two 0:35 Sixty-one billion dead 2:06 The rules the films never explained 4:14 How Paul's story ends 5:25 The children: Alia, Leto II and Ghanima 7:31 The God Emperor 10:29 After the god: the Scattering 12:14 Why Herbert made his hero a warning ▶ Next: What spice did to the Guild Navigators ▢ [EP002 link] This is Dune by Inklore: Dune lore beyond the films, Arrakis, the Imperium, the Bene Gesserit and the wider saga.
