For anyone who has never read the books and only the movie, yeah a lot of stuff from the books inspired Star wars. There was also a lot of inspiration from the Valerian comics (which aren't from America so I can understand why not many people understand) not including more obvious inspiration from samurai movies and westerns. Besides its not really a rip off because Star wars is way less opposed to AI compared to Dune so its easier for a droid to calculate interstellar math than a human.

I'm a fan of Star Wars, it's my favorite franchise out there. I never heard of Dune before this movie, and I didn't even think of it being a Star Wars ripoff. I thought if anything it would be cool for them to be connected somehow. Even so, I cannot believe people think it's a ripoff, that's like saying the moon landing is a Star Wars ripoff because it takes place in space.

Actually, I recall Paul went blind because some rebels tried off him with a 'stone burner' atomic weapon, it blinded a bunch of other fremen as well. This became a plot point because blind fremen were considered useless and were expected to fall on their knives or die in the desert. I think its the former because, why waste the water? Paul said he'd pay for bionic eyes for those that wanted them. But I digress, its been a decade since I read original books, but I'm certain he didn't go blind from spice consumption. Still kudos on the theory combination of reality and imaginary worlds and the like.

It’s a mélange - a mixture. It’s gotta have some DMT in there. DMT occurs naturally as an analog and sometimes as a precursor to Tryptophan, it looks quite similar to spice, it is a strong hallucinogen that has been shown to have some anti-tumerogenic effects, and neurogenic effects, along with reliably producing prophetic, spiritual, and religious experiences, resulting in a long-term change in personality. Also it could actually be plausible that some long-dead megaflora released pockets of DMT throughout Arrakis, after being crushed by millenia of pressure and heat. Also, people frequently refer to DMT as “The Spice.”

Paul lost his sight from atomics in the books, not from spice. While the blue eye theory makes sense, it's not what causes blindness in any of the Fremen

One of the side effects of spice melange is addiction - once you start taking it, you can't stop or you'll die. So if this stuff is an enhanced form of alien Prednisone, and your body's immune system becomes dependent upon it, then that would make sense. If you stop taking it, your immune system can't cope and you die. I do feel I have to point out that Paul's blindness is not caused by exposure to the spice. It was caused by a stone burner, an atomic-based weapon that emits something called J-rays when used. It is those J-rays that destroy the optic tissues and cause blindness.

@MunkyDrag0n

2 жыл бұрын

Actually, no. The immune system will start to regain function once the prednisone is stopped, but stopping suddenly after taking large doses or taking it for a long period is still a horrible idea. Prednisone withdrawal happens because cortisol in the body becomes too low. Symptoms include: lethargy, aches and pains, nausea, and dizziness. It isn't commonly lethal if treated, but in the harsh environment of Dune you could easily die if the impairments prevent you from being at your best.

The human computer thing doesn't come from the spice. It comes from the Mentat training that was developed after computers were outlawed, long before the spice was discovered by the galaxy at large. And it's a product of the sand trout, which is a larval form of the sand worm. That whole ecology is kind of weird as the sand worms have three distinct phases in their lives, but they cycle through those phases, over and over, and the larger sand worms actually feed off of the tiny sand trout, which would grow into sand worms later in life, if they don't get eaten.

gotta love seeing my favorite film parody channel, including clips from my *other* favorite film parody channel(s).

Just watched dune foe the first time last night and here I am obsessed watching everything on youtube 😅

So I just started reading the books a little bit after they announced the new movie im just starting the last book written by Frank Herbert. So here are some things that don't line up. Some SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!! 1. Paul does go blind in the second book. But its from a outlawed super weapon called a stone burner. The scene talks of massive heat melting his eyeballs and of those near him young and old. 2. Spice doesn't make you great at math. That's becoming a "Mentat". Basically a human computer not created using spice. And thats not what "guild navigators" do. They plot a course trough space by basically seeing the future using spice and knowing what's a safe option because they have this limited ability to see in to the future(Not as big as Paul who is a mentant and a future seer/oracle/prescient). 3. Lady Jessica never had any delirium what so ever her daughter had it do to something called aberration and having the memories of her ancestors in her before having any memories of her own. The movie gives you a very different picture of jessica then the books. No where near as calm and collected as a bene gesserit is supposed to be. 4. The personality change comes from the sad ability and hopelessness of seeing the future. Multiple mentions of Paul and latter his Son The God Emperor Leto II being bored of and becoming disconnected because of this the latter especially.(Side note the son of Paul is one of the most amazing characters written imo and for Warhammer 40k fans you will see the inspiration for the emperor of mankind). So over all even though I don't disagree with the theory and its conclusion. The points made are based on missinformation or more so just reading it on a wiki out of context and not understanding how some thing happened.

Exactly. Matpat has all his information completely skewed, and it's very clear he hasn't actually read the books. Just the first six books alone, completely paint a different picture than what he has outlined here. I suspect that he skimmed through it, and didn't actually take the time to digest what he was reading. While the theory of Prednisone being in the spice is very possible, it is not the only biological agent within the spice that causes the aberrations that people suffer from. But merely instead, one of many, hence the name "Spice Mixture". I suspect that Herbert intended it to be seen as a cocktail of pharmaceutically engineered , and biologically engineered chemicals, that over time became byproduct of the worms themselves through careful manipulation by the Bene Jesuit Sisterhood and another unknown undisclosed party that even Leto II could not discern.

Few things get quite as frustrating here as when MatPat comes so close to having some good points, and just over focuses on trying to make something fit a specific talking point rather then just see what the data could mean on it's own, and when he gets some pretty major and basic fact wrong. Paul didn't go blind just from being out in the bright desert, he went blind due to being too close to, and looking right at, what was essentially a nuclear powered road flare the size of a building. And trying to force this into a 'this is just prednisone but with some added sci-fi stuff just, feels like trying to hard to make the spice something it simply isn't, as yeah it does have these other properties, and is made in a very different fashion with a lot of other things that don't add up. Yet, the fact so much does fit with it is itself worth looking at for how Spice works, and to establish that while clearly not Prednisone itself, it could very well be some form of corticosteroid similar to the drug, and examining how that could work out.

I am now beginning a read-through of a bunch of prequel lore books its awesome to see more people who love this series as much as I do. it is also disappointing to see a lot of people who only see dune as a Star Wars knock-off and not the Star Wars inspiration that almost got star wars sued. To me, the Dune universe is better but that's an opinion. I'd love to start a group that also shares a love for the dune universe where we can discuss a bunch of unanswered questions.

I love how you can pull these filaments of possibilities into something real. But being a Dune geek of the original six novels (I won't get into what I think of other novels), I have to point out that even though you did mention you were going by the Dennis Villeneuve version, you did mention something that happens in the second novel (and third movie, if Dennis and the studio are willing to close out the Paul story arc - but not really since there's a character that appears in the third novel that may or may not actually be Paul, not to be spoiled here), that Paul's blindness has nothing to do with the spice and all due to a Stone Burner nuclear device being detonated near him, a side effect being it melts your eyes. Okay, late-60's sci-fi weird. But since Paul has prescience, he can function as if he still had eyes as he can see the future a moment in advance. Due to his prescience he knows he has to suffer this fate for the events to play out along the Golden Path, even though he's too chicken to make the ultimate sacrifice, leaving it to his son, who Paul's prescience didn't inform him would be born. Remember that. It's important for the remaining novels :)

And that's exactly it; matpat references content from the other books, that has no bearing on the first movie, and then makes references that are not actually accurate. If we're going to do a analysis based on the spice only on what is perceived in the movie, that's one thing. But when we make bold statements about the spice and use references from other books, and then fail to understand just what exactly the spice is, what it's capable of, or how you get things like Navigators, mentats, or even how it affects various types of cognitive abilities, arguably even influencing the Bennett Jesuit Sisterhood, something matpat did not mention, which is actually referenced in both the first book in the movies; it starts to become a question of how much research did he actually do, and how well did he understand the topic, the details, and each of the pieces he references before making the Theory?

Something I just want to mention. You don’t have to necessarily be addicted to spice in order to have the blue eyes. Spice basically gets everywhere on Arrakis, it’s in the air you breathe and the sand that you walk in. You’re exposed to it so much, that in about a few years of continuous living on Arrakis, your eyes will turn blue.

@DemitriVladMaximov

While close, at that point you are addicted. See spice saturation at that level means that you can't ever leave Arrakis without taking Arrakis with you because your body physically needs the spice and if you don't get it then you go through withdrawals that are almost always fatal.

Okay, so as a Dune fan who has read all the books (the main 6 at least) I thought I should just correct a few things in the video real quick (spoilers obviously): At 1:58: You show children of dune when talking about the birth of Leto II, but he was actually born in Dune Messiah, and also was not invisible. (Paul wasn't able to see him because at that point Paul was blind, and Leto was prescient meaning that Paul could not see him through his prescient visions.) At 3:12: You say that Spice floats to the top of the sand, this is also not fully true. Spice formation ends with an explosion that scatters the spice across the desert sands, which is why it's found at the top of the dessert, it has nothing to do with density. At 3:41: You say that spice exposure can lead to vivid hallucinations, again not necessarily incorrect, but not fully correct. It's mostly just that Paul starts seeing the future at that point. At 3:55: You say that spice allows for super-fast calculations that allow for navigation. This one is actually the only one that was completely wrong, firstly it's not long exposure, but rather high exposure at a very young age that allows for this, and secondly they aren't making calculations, what they are actually doing is folding space in on itself and then jumping from one point to another like a worm hole. When talking about blue eyes: Spice actually causes the eyes to turn blue over long periods of exposure for a variety of reasons, the main one being that the spice itself is blue (at least in the books) and more specifically spice essence (which is very important to the Bene Gesserit, and Kwizrach Haderach ) is blue and drastically changes the functioning of the brain, essentially the blue pigment is actually blue pigment and not a lack of melanin. At 5:55: You say that the spice and sunlight of Arrakis is what caused Paul to go almost blind, he actually went fully blind after being attacked by a what is essentially a nuclear fusion core, and the radiation didn't just make him go blind it actually just completely burned out his eyeballs. (I kinda hope they don't show this in the movie) At 10:56: You state that spice causes Euphoria, it's actually quite the opposite, to the point that the Bene Geserit call the use of spice essence "The Spice Agony," also in the part that you are showing on screen at that time Paul is basically having a panic attack. At 11:01: You state that the spice was the reason Paul's personality changed... No. I don't even want to explain why this one is wrong because that's pretty much the entire point of the second half of the Dune book, Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, and God Emperor of Dune. At 11:05: You state that the spice causes Delirium, again not really. It's more that the effects of the spice (Being able to see through time and connecting with your ancestral genetic memory[this one is only true of the spice essence]) cause the delirium not the spice itself. And One final thing That I couldn't put anywhere because it's not really a correction and just a guess, however I'm like 90% sure that the melange part is a reference to the Vienna Melange which is actually a type of spiced coffee (this would especially make sense because of the constant references to coffee in the first dune book.) Overall though this video was really good, despite the lore inaccuracies, I hope you make on on Dune Part II!

Hey, i just came across your comment and was quite happy to see so many of the misunderstandings beeing clarified. I am a little confused about your critique of 3:55 though. I always thought, that the space folding tech of the holtzman engine is completely unrelated to spice but they use the (spice induced) prescient abilities of a guild navigator to plot a safe course. The navigators are not exactly calculating, but rather looking into different versions of the possible future to make sure nothing happens to the ship. But i don't think he is completely wrong about this one. Or did i mess anything up?

Mat… I love you and your theories are so well-researched. But this makes it so much worse when you get a detail, especially a major one, incredibly wrong. Paul didn’t lose his sight due to desert exposure; he lost it because his eyes were burned out of his head due to radiation exposure from a “stone burner”- an Old World “atomic” weapon that gives off radiation that specifically ruins eye tissue when it runs. An event, by the bye, that takes place in the 2nd Dune novel, Dune Messiah.

The dude couldn't be bothered to pick up the books and reading them for making a video for clicks. Kind of pathetic to be honest.

Paul goes blind in the books, not from his spice usage, but because he was exposed to the flash of a nuclear weapon, which from the description, made me think his eyes actually popped, but his prescience of the future was powerful enough that he didn't need eyes

You are confusing blue and gray eyes here. Yellow-brown is from pigment, blue is from structures in the iris that scatter light, green is a mix of both and gray is the lack of both. If you start green and lose pigment, you may get blue, but if you start with brown and lose pigment, you get gray. You can also lose blue to get gray, which is what my eyes did. As a child my eyes were blue, but as I got into adulthood they got less vivid and became opalescent. The confusion you stumbled into is because of that opalescence causing many with gray eyes to be mistaken for blue or green. For Dune, it's an additive effect, not a subtractive one. In all versions it's a vivid blue, and it's usually depicted affecting the sclera also. There is a sclera tattoo that some have gotten to replicate the look with pigment, but in real biology you can get yellowing of eyes from chemical deposition in the sclera and iris, as well as other parts of the eye. Dune blue eyes are likely some chemical being deposited there. Colloidal silver notoriously causes bluing of skin when abused, so it's not without some level of precedent.

I had been on prednisone since I was 8, treating a disease called Systemic Juvinile Idiopathic Arthritis. I got off it 3 years ago, and I can most definitely say I got the ‘Prednisone High’ I read the labels of everything I saw, everything. I definitely had mood changes, however being in denial of them. Anger, frustration, and not really caring about others’s feelings were a few of them. I was on it because basically SJIA is a Autoimmune condition where your own immune system fights back on your joints, tendons, muscles, and because of the Systemic part, my organs. I had to take HIGH amounts of Prednisone to weaken my immune system so I could actually walk. No joke, I had tablets at breakfast before school, and dinner before bed. I even had infusions of it every month, and cortisone injections in my joints. The only thing that was not mentioned in this theory was that it caused me to feel hungry at the strangest times, sometimes waking up at midnight to eat a bowl of spaghetti.

Totally sharing this with my Immunology peeps 🤣 Prednisone (& other corticosteroids like Dex) notoriously taste *horrendous* There's literally nothing you can do to mask it effectively, especially for Pediatric patients. I doubt cinnamon would do it, and cinnamon in large amounts causes blisters. The worst off are patients who need oral corticosteroid treatment with EOE/EGID who have to swallow a sludge of prednisone & artificial sweetener, to get the medicine in contact with their throat - stomach. And they can't rinse it off. Prednisone at high doses also causes massive weight gain, insatiable hunger, insomnia, extreme agitation, emotional turmoil, and makes patients miserable. (BTW, it's often used in Cancer treatment too). Personally... always thought it was a metaphor for Saudi controlled O&G. 🤷 But this theory is fun!

btw, one ay to interpret the spice being called melange is a play on words, as melange can mean variety, so, as the melange lengthens human lives, it can be said that variety is the spice of life.
