How is dune woke? The main character is a white guy. He cares about honour, doing the right thing, being strong and self dependent even in the face of adversary. He’s also the best and get treated as the best. The women are lying bitches who can’t be trusted. The natives can’t sort their shit out and need a white savour.
The goal of Herbert’s books is exactly to denounce this, the religious savior works wonders by accomplishing the religious goals efficiently, but it turns into a nightmare as the people becomes fanatics and the leader too powerful.
This second part starts at the end of the first book (around Villeneuve’s second movie), and it’s in my opinion what makes Dunes a meaningful story and not just another space Opera
