I'm reading Dune: Messiah and this aspect is definitely explored there. Looking forward to the movie version.
This blind character reminded me of Neo in Matrix 3, after his eyes were burned. Also all those martial arts films where people perform difficult tasks blindfolded (Bloodsport, the Zatoichi film series, etc). I realized that Zatoichi actually predates the blind character from the book I referred at the beginning of this post. I was wondering about the origin of this trope, and what other examples do you know?
Thanks

I have two interlinked problems with the Dune franchise but specifically Dune 2

The forthcoming of the Fremens messiah, Kwisatz Haderach. A eugenics project in the works for millennium who holds untold power that could guide humanity onto the Golden Path.

If you look into the description of it’s foreseen abilities and those of Paul Muad’dib Atreides. Then the obvious problem is how weak he appears to be.

The writers seem to misunderstand just how broken the combination of a Bene Gesserit and Mentat, who can view past, present, future, truly is.

The ability that Paul unlocks after the “Spice Agony” ritual is seemingly Future-Probability Cognition by all accounts. Also being a person who’s been trained in the ways of the Bene Gesserit, Paul also do or more accurately, should exhibit “Body Supremacy” and “Vocal Mind Control” via the voice. If Paul has learnt “the wierding way”, then you can add martial arts mastery to this list.

And so my plight in particular is in the end of Dune 2 when Paul faces off against Feyd.

Paul should not have been so close to death or at least seemed to be more in control of the situation. The revenge against the Harkonnens is a necessary but fundamentally subplot of the franchise. Religious psychology, self fulfilling destiny and Paul motivated to assume the mantle of messiah, using the Fremen as a tool of revenge, are more central themes to the plot.

If you do your own research on the true power of Future-Probability Cognition. Given to a person capable of peak human feats, with mind control albeit it can be resisted. Then I think in particular that the fight should have gone more like this:

“Paul faces off against Feyd who took up arms in the Emperor’s stead. Paul conveys an uncertainty of victory, as he cowardly evades Feyd’s blows. The onlooking Fremen start to lose confidence in their leader and the Emperor smiles with delight. But.

After Feyd has stabbed Paul in a non vital spot, taking a step back to observe his prey before he finishes it. Paul slowly lifts his head up with a devious and mischievous smile.

Feyd’s face drops. The Harkonnen goes on the offensive, Paul gracefully evade his every strike without even looking at him. The Duke of Arrakis laughs to himself, taking pleasure in the exactment of revenge. Lulling the Emperor and his family into a false sense of security.

Paul effortlessly beheads Feyd with his eyes locked onto Shaddam. He shifts his focus momentarily towards Irulan while Feyd’s presence and existence is as fleeting as the minuscule decisions Paul will undertake to achieve his desired outcome.

The Fremen start chanting “Lisan Al Gaib” in union with Stilgar, after his declaration of devotion.”

This would still give Feyd a role although I think the movie/franchise could do without him and convey the immoral satisfaction that Paul takes from his assault on Arrakis.

As an example, It gives a clearer picture of the calamity and unstoppable force of nature that has been unleashed on the universe (Paul). Who will enact a misguided Holy War in his name.

Now what do you think, am I right or wrong?

TL;DR: Paul, as an awakened Kwisatz Haderach should be showcased as more powerful and therefore the fight between him and Feyd should have gone differently.
