Analyzing Evil: Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen From Dune

[@lukasvillar9328]

It is amazing how Feyd is basically just "enjoying the moment" while everyone else is just getting screwed on different levels throughout the new movie, everyone is playing 4d Chess while Feyd is almost eternally in a state of dueling even when outside the arena.

[@loonie5468]

Living and devouring the moment is, in fact, one of the best descriptions of psychopaths, which Feyd is mentioned to be in the movie.

Not really accurate to the book Feyd. Who was a scheming scumbag just like his uncle. But still, a good portrayal

[@skillsmachine9164]

​@TealWolf26 if he sat out the fight with Paul it may have gone differently. The baron and Rabban were dead, so he was the Harkonnen leader. But I guess the fremen or Gurney would have killed him anyway after that.

[@TealWolf26]

@skillsmachine9164 I'm sure. Herbert doesn't delve into the horrors of religious and political pograms and war but I wouldn't be surprised if Feyd would have been swept up in "treason trials" for complicity in oppressing the Fremen. He at least likely spared himself torture by volunteering. Unless Paul had some weird fit of sentiment because of their blood relation to protect Feyd but I doubt it. My favorite part about Leto II is that he looks at all the heinous shit that Paul gets up to directly and indirectly and says "Nah, we can do better," dialing up the tyranny to eleven for his Golden Path.

[@badrequest5596]

maybe it was austin butler's acting and interpretation of feyd, but in the arena duel after killing the atreides soldier it seemed to me that he had some respect for the atreides for how he fought. when facing paul he was also gleeful to face paul, as if after facing the atreides soldier it gave him a taste of a true challenge instead of a manufactured one like the fights before, a challenge he was excited to face. it didnt seem to me he had any desdain or hatred for paul, it seemed more like a hint of admiration on paul's ruthlessness and brutality leading the fremen. it seems to me that even twisted as he is, he still has a certain sense of honor, unlike his uncle and brother, and respects strength even in his enemies.

[@fanta4897]

Yeah. It even seemed like he had a tiny bit of respect for that one fremen that killed few of his men. I mean... he still burned her, so it doesn't seem like it. But just the way he says it, it seemed like he had at least a bit of respect.

[@960456]

In the book, Feyd Rautha makes a grand gesture of refusing the customary removal of his opponent's head as a trophy, and burying him intact since "he earned it", so you're pretty spot on.

[@mggardiner4066]

The movie version seemed to be very tied into exploring the themes of power and giving into darker impulses. Hence making Feyd have sadomasochistic tendencies, after chasing personal power and adrenaline rush of humiliating and harming others, the thrill would wear off when they are easily overpowered due to his position and skill. Being able to be challenged himself or see others take down those who he doesn’t have power over or subverting his own power, makes someone more of a threat and therefore more of a rush to overpower and humiliate, with that uncertainty of if they can do it to him making it more thrilling. It’s more of a true power struggle, so it endears the opponent in a way for being able to provide that as well as being something he himself values (and can therefore respect). It’s a sick sense of being grounded in the moment as well as delighting in the violence and pain most likely. I think they added the cannibalism to highlight the more twisted side to counteract the less sneaky characterization

[@Black_Blow_Fly]

The duel was a sham nothing like the novel.

[@960456]

@@Black_Blow_Fly Yeah, but honestly, given that Thufir's entire character arc was cut (so sad about that, but I get the necessity), how the arena scene played out in the movie worked just fine for me.

To me it was all about power. The Baron tried to show his power over Feyd by initiating this invasion of personal boundaries and intimacy in public. Feyd countered this by not only not being intimidated or shamed but by grabbing the Baron and kissing him back in a full Power Move.

[@Rizziculous]

I don't agree. What does kissing him have to do with living through him? I see no correlation honestly. I just honestly think its just an extreme embrace. That's why feyd kisses him back in gratitude.

I see the final confrontation between Paul & Feyd in Part II as a very twisted passing of the torch to the next oppressor. The new film doubles down on Feyd being a foil to Paul with his determination in combat & even control of his impulses compared to his brother & uncle. Paul might have won the throne but upon being congratulated by Feyd in the latter’s dying breath, it’s clear Feyd died with the greatest fight of his life & winning Paul’s soul.

[@skillsmachine9164]

Thats an odd take. How did he win Paul's soul? Paul already knew the path he was going down. Plus his Father and friends had been slaughtered by the Harkonnens, whilst Feyd had been on the other side of that outcome.

[@elsagreen1476]

Good analysis!

[@seanneza]

@@skillsmachine9164In the movie Paul acknowledges that he'll have to embrace his Harkonnen heritage in order to avenge his father, or something along those lines. And then becomes the religious figurehead of a jihad that kills billions and wipes multiple planets. So he becomes even more heartless than Feyd; fully embracing his Harkonnen heritage through the brutality of his reign.

[@skillsmachine9164]

@seann2751 hey yeh i get that ive read the books too. Just at no point does feyd think at any point in his own mind that Paul is losing his soul to him. As far as feyd has thought this was just a great fight and a chance for more power through the emporer. I doubt he'd even given 2 seconds thought to the possible jihad.

[@Charlie_Azrael]

In the BTS of this film, Austin Butler revealed that he saw Feyd Rautha as an "eater of souls" who longs for worthy opponents to kill and consume the energy of. Paul killing him, especially in such an underhanded way, must have shown Feyd that he was right. Hell, Paul also said earlier that he needed to fight like a Harkonen. Paul may have killed Feyd, but it was indeed feyd who took his soul. Just adding to your interpretation!

[@HCG]

I was genuinely sad when Feyd died. I knew it was coming, but I wanted so badly for him to be in the rest of the movies. His performance was incredible and the character itself was beautifully entertaining

[@6Kubik]

Mee too 😅. He was an interesting character and I was hoping (since he is Pauls age and his cousin) that they would reconnect.

Actually, in the miniseries Feyd does have a poison gom jabbar he tries to use during the final duel, but is distracted by Paul calling him cousin, and slain. Still, you raise a good point about his life basically having been mapped out by his uncle, taking away his agency to mold him into a Harkonnen Emperor. A reinterpretation could work where Feyd engages in honorable duels in the Arena not simply to gain the favor of his people, but to try and feel some amount of freedom where anything can happen and his life isn’t perfectly planned out.

Feyd was definitely the more compelling of the two brothers. I always appreciate a villain with intelligence and cunning. His brother relied on brute force and direct cruelty to establish control, a hammer. Feyd was the scalpel, he always looked for every tool at his disposal to establish control over the situation, and maintain/grow his power.

Rabban - the beast - was a bully. A strong man, but a coward. Physically strong, mentally weak. He lacked understanding of the people he was fighting, of the people he was using, of himself. He lacked any discernible mental virtues - even lacked admirable vices. There was no way he could win a war, if you follow Sun Tzu's logic. Feyd was a far more dangerous cat.

I think he did a particularly good job in his few subversive moments of humanity. You're set up to see him as this one note monster, and then he surprises you with his commitment to honoring those who play the game with the same dedication (thanking those who gave him a good fight for starters. But when Paul salute's him before the deul he practically blushes hes so flattered). He's many, horrible things. But all of it is simply inconsequencal to one singular desire; he just wants a good fight.

[@ROMANTIKILLER2]

Villeneuve's version of Feyd-Rautha was closer to a cartoonishly evil parody of the character seen in the book, yet I think that in the context of the movie it work perfectly, as with many grey characters including the protagonist Paul having an irredeemably evil antagonist helped making a major blockbuster more digestible for a larger audience.

[@keith6706]

@@osmanyousif7849 There is a point where they do it but, like much of Villeneuve's worldbuilding in the films, it requires the audience to be paying attention and not relying on spoon-feeding the info to them. Paul passing the Bene Gesserit test in Part 1 is symbolic of him being someone special, is built up and presented that way. In Part 2, although they don't show the actual test, Feyd also passes it at the hands of Margot Fenring. That, and the later discussion between Fenring and Mohiam, clearly sets him up as a mirror to Paul. Paul is, at heart, kind, caring, compassionate, and loyal to his friends. Feyd is, to put it mildly, not. Paul is forced reluctantly into his first fight to the death and takes no pleasure in it. Feyd's first fight where it is implied it's the first time he's ever been at actual serious risk is something he embraces and enjoys. Paul fights against becoming the monster he fears he will, Feyd revels in being the monster he is.

[@welshlout3400]

I lowkey think they struck an ambitiously delicate balance with Feyd. He had effectively a flat character trajectory, but the ‘pet the dog’ moments he got did slowly chisel away at my first impressions of Feyd as a purely psychopathic freak. So that, by the end, he and Paul (who has had negative growth throughout the film) didn’t seem all that different. So on the contrary to the commenter above, I believe a good deal of effort was put into Feyd’s role as a character foil to Paul?

@@keith6706 , well, that part is definitely shown. My bigger issue, though is the fact that as Paul goes down the darker path where we’ve been into question the whole prophecy, if they gave characters like Feyd a little bit more development, it would give us the chance to question the whole concept of, “Is Paul really the lesser of two evils?”.

Another aspect I noticed upon examining the fight scenes... In the Dune 2 Movie: Feyd, in his fight with the Leto Guard, took the guard's final move and reversed it on him... to avoid being stabbed. In Feyd's fight with Paul he does the same move, reversing Paul's own blade and stabbing him. When he goes to finish Paul, Paul takes Feyd's blade into his shoulder, and Paul pulls out his own blade that Feyd had stabbed him with and stabs Feyd, killing him. Somewhere in that exchange, a lesson that self-sacrifice, when fighting a demon, will gain those without fear for their own lives, the most ultimate reward... your own life given back to you, without staking one's own vanity... or how it looks to everyone else. Paul doesn't care how he wins, or what it looks like, or what others think, and Paul uses that against Feyd. Masculine nature....

Seeing these new movies again has forced me to revisit the dune series and remember just how beautifully written the books are. Such a wonderfully written prose

[@hassanalghanim3399]

I think you should do a video on homunculus/father from fullmetal alchemist brotherhood. It's quite a unique character that embodies an evil distinct from many character's you've analyzed in the past.

I was waiting for this video. Amazing :D 40min well spent :)

I’ve listened to so much of your stuff, but this is my first time actually watching and seeing you 😂

[@nicokrasnow1851]

I forgot how accurate was the Baron's knowledge of Feyd's psyche. This channel is a jewel

[@robs9237]

I stood up and clapped when Feyd did the Elvis hip shakes in the colosseum

[@ndhickson3599]

And then when he said “I’d like to thank my little buddy Forrest for teaching me that” I cried

[@cheeseburgerinparadise7124]

Why would you disrupt the movie to celebrate one of the most evil creatures in the movie? That’s twisted and indicative of something about you that’s not a good thing.

I know “the walking dead” has kind of lost its luster but I would love to see an episode about ‘Alpha’ and maybe even ‘Beta’. Both are evil in their own ways but I find them interesting and would love a deep dive of their characters.

[@mikebasil4832]

Thank you for all your videos on Dune. I'd like to hear your Analyzing Evil review of Elias Mannix in Bodies.

[@mr.jubblyjingleberry6591]

Episode suggestion: Clyde Shelton from Law Abiding Citizen. He's a really interesting character and I think it'd be really interesting to have an analysis of him.

[@SlimConquer]

Thanks!

[@samlerf]

Given his morally gray nature, could you do a video on Mace Windu using the Star Wars work written by or with Lucas (the prequel movies and novelizations, Star wars the Clone Wars, the novels "Shatterpoint" & "Labyrinth of Evil")?

[@o27001]

I'd love to see you do a video of Emperor Shaddam IV as well

[@Bannerlord98]

Great video as always! I have 5 suggestions: Fjölnir from the Northman Moon Dong-eun (she’s the protagonist, I know, but she’s pretty vengeful to put it mildly) from the Glory (it was a reply, but I wanted to comment this as well) Paul Atreides himself from Dune Ulfric Stormcloak from Skyrim Yevgeny Borisovitch Volgin from MGS3: snake eater

[@jjk9999]

There isn't a Harkonnen weight gain propensity. A bene gesseritte infected the Baron with a disease. It's in the prequels written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson. I think the houses series, which are great by the way - they feature Count Fenring a lot, who would make an excellent subject for Analyzing Evil.

[@clanwaddell5628]

The fight scene in the book is epic. But I don't know if it would have translated as well as the fight scene we saw in the movie. Both versions of Feyd Rautha are scary and memorable.

[@itzekey9006]

I'd love an episode about Rudolf Hoess, from the Zone of Interest!

[@judewakefield7213]

Please do a video on Mistborn Trilogy's Lord Ruler and Kelsier. One is a tyrannical utilitarian, and the other is a charming sociopathic rebel.

[@lornarettig3215]

I thought Feyd was mesmerising in Dune Part 2. Easily the most watchable character for me.

[@Mr_Mcfeely]

He was a close second for me. I just really liked Paul once he put his big boy pants on after they went South. Butler and Chalamet absolutely blew their rolls out of the water.

[@wannabecriminalman]

It is fascinating that despite how irredeemably vile and cruel the villains in this story are, none of them can hold a candle to the death and destruction unleashed by our hero.

[@sliski_rysiu_bejbi]

And by the Bene Gesserit and their plots throughout the history

[@idiot_city5444]

The hero's son is the one that truly unleashes it

[@kaleoandros25]

His role is so fast I do not know how you manage to make a video this long, but I assume there are a lot more in the books m

[@rdobson5413]

Villain Suggestions: Tony Wendice (Dial "M" for Murder) Edmund (King Lear) Harry Roat (Wait Until Dark) SQUIP (Be More Chill) Audrey II (Little Shop of Horrors) Claudius (Hamlet) Lady Macbeth (Macbeth) Iago (Othello) Regan (King Lear) Macbeth (Macbeth) Tybalt (Romeo and Juliet)

[@D3athL1vin]

to be honest I wouldn't mind hearing the dune series narrated by evil eye...

[@HitsFromTheDong]

Was just going to comment that, he should start his own audible service.

[@michaelodonnell824]

One thing that's too often forgotten is that, if the Bene Gesserit schedule had gone to plan, Feyd would have been the father of the Kwisatz Haderach,.. Just how evil would that KH have been? Moreover, how evil does that imply the Bene Gesserit were?

[@TonyG8992]

Please do Analyzing Evil: *William Friedkin’s Cruising.* It’s one of the few movies that made me feel sick, disturbed, and gross in the end. Al Pacino was great and very underrated, I miss when actors took risky roles. Who’s here? I’m here, you’re here… Evil is here.

[@stebe1919]

I would love if you could do an analyzing good series where you discuss the protagonists/heroes in fiction stories. My first suggestion would be one of the most interesting protagonists in TV history: Rust Cohle

[@shroomssadow4981]

Funny his name was Feyd. And he was really trying to run Paul a Fade 😂😂perfect name for todays slang

I think you would do a great job analyzing Nate Jacobs from Euphoria, he’s a fantastic villain and his character is very intimidating every time he’s on screen.

[@Armageddon2077]

Thank you for including the mini-series

[@ryanedwards7487]

I absolutely loved this version of Feyd-Rautha. Sting was just there as some kind of cameo in the 1984 movie. The Sci-Fi mini-series made him much more like Baron Harkonnen--scheming, insidious, treacherous--with a dash of ineptitude outside of dueling. This version of Feyd had a few good qualities. He does show respect to the one non-drugged Atreides soldier in the Arena, kills him quickly rather than prolonging his suffering. He shows a great deal of determination and focus, which is shown when he bombards the sietches rather than swarming them with his men. After all, why go into a nest of hornets when you can blow it apart from the outside? However, he is cruel, and ruthless beyond mercy. Most people, even among the Great Houses, after learning of family, would usually refrain from combat. He shrugs it off--he wants to win. He wants to rule, and if this "Muad'dib" is in his way, he will kill it to do so. An excellent portrayal of the characer.

[@loganmorton1543]

Excellent video! If I could request The Major from Hellsing/Hellsing Ultimate. Just finished the series a bit ago, and he is both terrifying in motives but also compelling, very similar to Judge Holden

[@ninyaninjabrifsanovichthes45]

“It has been said that I like war. I wish to dash these rumors. I do not _like_ war. I *love* war.” I’d also like a video on Bishop Enrico Maxwell.

[@seanis4304]

you should do pre-norse Kratos, he might seem like more of an anti-hero but I think in 3 he really dips into pure villainy.

[@rm2kking]

I like how in the new movie he resembles Lord Freiza.!very fitting really. I love it.
