i remember talking with my best friend about 2015 or so, we wondered how a Dune movie could become a success since so many stories have taken inspirations from it. We thought it was something only in our dreams, yet here we are 9 years later with 2 great movies and a fanbase that keep growing. It feels like having read all the books back in the day was worth it. Maybe this timeline isn’t so cursed after all.

It took the vision and the dedication of a true fan, committed to doing justice to this series at the risk of almost his career. The first dune had so many mixed reviews, and only the fans that read the book understood the gamble Villeneuve took, knowing that splitting the book is the only right way to do it.

The books were always about human evolution. How our environment causes us to adapt. The sand worms and spice are sort of a cheat. They helped speed up our evolution. Dune and the worms made our bodies adapt. Spice was for our minds. In the books the Fremen were almost physically perfect. Their blood congealed faster. They were tireless. Perfect warriors.

Right from the beginning of Messiah I realized the Worms came from Ascended Masters. Even if the Guild began their biochemical cultivation of “spice technology” with more archaic practices….

Love to hear it, more is on the way

Just scratching the surface of storytelling and video experimentation. VideoGPT seamlessly integrated into my process, subtly refining my content with its magic touch.

1. The sandworm doesn't eat sand, it basically filters it. 2. The bits that it filters out and consumes aren't generally sandtrout, they burrow too deep. They eat their sandplankton among other microscopic things. It is interesting that, while they can eat other things, they are not only cannibals, but eat their own young. These are super-sentient creatures, so that's pretty intense. 3. You mention at the end that the sandworm showed up in Earth, did you mean Arrakis? Earth isn't relevant in the Dune series. I remember them returning to Arrakis. I'm not 100% sure though. 4. It would be worth mentioning that they are exported to other planets for spice production and to "desertify" said planets. In this era, even aquatic 'sand'worms are created and utilized. 5. Leto II was the first merger with Shai Hulud, but not the last. A ghola of Duncan Idaho merged with Shai Hulud as well, and is probably why Leto II kept so many Duncans. Of course Leto II could see this conclusion and potential in Duncan, there's something 'divine' (in the Bene Gessrit eugenics sort of way) about them both.

The toy of the 80s sandworm scares me to this day. The sarlacc and krayt dragons would literally head for the hills.

Imagine those worm castings

Basically the sandworm (a god ) = morky Crom, the desert variety of EL the sea-dragon or whale. Celestial it is Cetos or the great snake (serpent) handled by Ophiuchus (= Paul) .

They would indeed need to be gods, as on a planet as arid as Arrakis / Dune, this large number of gigantic creatures would have no means of existing except as supernatural beings, or life beyond our definition.

Saleem was the first sand rider per recorded history but the tools he used already existed. Thus, no one really knows who the first sand rider really was. Discuss the Rosack drug (Bene Gesserit) versus water of life (Fremen).

I thought that the sandworms did not survive the attack by Honored Matres, but were successfully replanted onto the Bene Gesserit's home planet, which became the new Dune.

Spice = Oil. Arakkis = Middle East.

There are few signs of worms in Dune 2. You see the mouths and clouds of dust, but with CGI,. I would have expected more.

Good explanation of the lifecycle! But since you have got sideways with SPOILER ALERT why not citing the worms exported to other worlds from the benegesserit
