Dune, or: "The House of Atreus continues to be mega-cursed even in the distant future in space"
#dune#dune part two#dune 2024#dune 2#paul atreides#atreides#house of atreus#greek mythology#sci fi#god i love it when mythology and sci fi intersect#it is so juicy#it took me far too long to remember where i'd heard the name before though#i wonder if that makes the baron the allegorical tantalus in this situation#as he is the grandfather of 'atreides'#baron harkonnen#the kin-slaying was already very mythological in theme#and the film was definitely leaning into those visuals#especially during the fight sequence w paul and feyd-rautha#i am Chewing this#tantalus
