    No. In the follow up novels, Paul realizes he’s become a dictator, and a mass murder. After being blinded, he exiles himself into the desert, and comes back to warn his son of the dangers of absolute power. Which his son ignores. Trillions die.

    People with that opinion are usually the people who think Patrick Bateman, and the humans in Starship Troopers, Walter Heisenberg, the alternate personality in Fight Club, etc., are heroes. They are not.

    Yeah no the rest of the series outlines that he basically turned himself into a slave of fate and condemned humanity to having to suffer milenia of tyranny under a self appointed god king before they could achieve freedom.

    Also that self appointed god king is a sandworm human hybrid that considers himself to be filling the role of a predator in an ecosystem oversaturated with prey animals.

        Kinda hard to tell because its a common misconception (for people who just read the first book). I hear what you’re sayin though
