I’m wondering if there’s an alternate universe where Frank Herbert didn’t disown his other son, who gave Brian the right advice that made his novels works of art
Now I’m sad imagining a world where we didn’t get like 20 mid sci-fi books that are “technically” canon to one of the most influential works in the genre because of Frank Herbert’s crazy homophobia
Watched the first 10 seconds and saw that they were going with the Matrix-style, giant-robot version of the Butlerian Jihad and immediately turned it off. That's my big red flag for "Doesn't understand Dune". It's a war against technocrats and AI bros, not against robots with laser vision.

Because it can’t be money (publishing rights from his father have him set for life)
Does he just love writing mediocre fanfiction for the love of the game
