Analyzing Evil: Glossu Rabban From Dune

[@matthewspencer2094]

Something overlooked with Rabban in the 2021 & 2024 movies... Hes no fool. He's navigating the most complex political landscape in history. He successfully leads a false flag combined arms force against an entrenched enemy when his faction is the lesser partner. He looses the favor of a tyrant / gets supplanted by a psychopath without either killing, maiming, or otherwise eliminating him as a threat. Hes juggling everyones plots, secrets and a intrigue that he has massive accountability for but no control over. His failures aren't avoidable given his constraints, but the successes he achieves are in no way guaranteed. To realistically survive the way he does he would have to have a nose for politics and a deep cunning and survival instinct.

[@jacobmartens3810]

Add to that his brutal "mismanagement" of Arrakis was following the Barons orders, as part of Vladimir's plan to make Feyd-Rautha look good when he took over. When things start to go really badly, he alters course that and tries to stabilize the situation with policy changes instead of just more repression. Rabban tends to get his poor reputation because on a first read-through the Baron constantly telling the reader he is stupid sticks out more. On a second read-through, with the understanding that the Baron was not in fact, the exquisite mastermind he thought he was, it becomes far easier to see that Rabban is smarter than the Baron gives him credit for.

[@hafirenggayuda]

Yea. It's obvious that even if the Atreides and Fremen wiped out, Rabban would still be removed.

Wow, you realise something that the miniseries did twenty years ago, Rabban did very brutal things, but only did it, to gain the favour of his uncle, when all was lost, he not even try to kill a single Fremmen, and they didn't give him the easy way out of a quick death, he was surrounded and decapitated.

@@ThePedrao360 Having a temper is not equal to enjoying violence. It means frustration that things don't go his way combined with poor self-control.

A clear contrast to his brother who brutalizes servents even if they perform their tasks without fail.

[@mrjjman2010]

because he’s actually a good actor outside of one single type of role lol. Rock and cena do fine in their role, but they’re the same character in every movie. He seems to take most things he gets into pretty seriously. the way he talked about being super nervous and not being happy with his performance because he had so much nerves in his MMA fight was really cool. Nice when famous people are down to earth and not arrogant or sorta self absorbed.

[@bloodangel19]

[@demonshade4120]

⁠@@mrjjman2010I think that is true for the rock but not as much cena. He is capable of showing emotion and weakness in his projects while the rock has never shown any sort of emotion besides edginess in any of his movies.

[@fumarc4501]

The most recent version is my favorite. His “fear” was clear. Of his uncle, of losing control, of being looked down on, etc. While Feyd-Rautha had no fear, but possessed ambition that quelled his worst tendencies.

[@sudowtf]

Feyd’s fear gets overshadowed by his intrigue for dangerous and odd situations. You can see this when Paul uses the voice to silence the high mother during his standoff with the emperor during the last part of the movie. Everybody felt the voice in that moment and got scared for a second including Feyd, but his intrigue is stronger than his fear and you can see his mind trying to understand the power Paul now has. It was also said in the movie that Feyd’s biggest weakness was his s3xual desires, which were very deeply manifested in him. Coupled with his bloodthirst, sadism and psychopathy he was far more dangerous than Rabban because he had more control over his emotions, but not his desires.

[@questtaken]

​@@sudowtfwhat were his sexual desires?

[@richlisola1]

Rabban was not a sociopath. Feyd was. So while able to inflict brutality, Rabban did feel fear, and we see this clearly. Feyd meanwhile, was murderous at will and cold as ice.

[@sudowtf]

@@questtaken Dark desires. You can see him refer to his concubines as his “darlings”. He depersonalised them and later in the movie he calls Chani Paul’s pet. It’s obvious that normal women for him are little more than pets for him to use. The only women that seemed to intrigue him and keep him at bay were the Bene Gesserit

[@sudowtf]

@@richlisola1 Feyd does seem more honorable than Rabban too. He compliments two Atreides fighters during the movie for having fought well, even when he knew he would die by Paul. He seems like a complete sociopath, basically ticking off all the boxes. Which, btw, does mean he feels fear. It’s just that his other emotions drastically overshadow his fear.

[@morofry]

In this version Rabban's intelligence was implied through body language. He was prone to violent outbursts, but beforehand he clearly gave thought to all his actions. Outwardly he seems slow, almost stupid; but his actions afterwards, though emotional, were clearly deliberate. This is what made this representation so compelling. I don't like this character, but I want to see this character develop to the bitter end.

Hot take: While every single actor did the performances of their careers, its even more impressive from bautista because he's not a trained actor. He just ended up in this business, and he matches the career defining acting of other professional actors with his own, even without the background, and that is seriously impressive. Kudos to him.

Agreed. But I think in the last 2 Dune movies leaving out the scene mentioned by this presentation about Harkonnen removing his artillery and leaving out a scene where Rabban was being a bit intellectual was a disservice to the character. That conversation also shows the Harkonnen shooting themselves in the foot. Duke Atreides was correct about desert power being needed to rule Arrakis.

[@sectorgovernor]

I totally agree with you, one of the Baron 's major mistakes was underestimating Rabban. Rabban would have been still useful even if the Baron preferred Feyd. Rabban showed some sense of military related things and he wasn't a total idiot. For me, it rather seemed Rabban wasn't interested in politics/diplomacy and preferred brute force and agression.

[@Hectonkhyres]

He always took the world as it was on its face, never looking beneath its skin, but that was as much of a virtue as a vice: He never outsmarted himself, never became blinded by self-deception or pipe dreams or bad gambles. He only did stupid things because, to a man wearing a leash and who knows who signs his meal ticket, not doing them would have been the greater stupidity. As it was, even reaping his reward at the end of everything, all that could be said is that he died far more cleanly than would have happened otherwise. I don't even know how much he was even interested in brute force and aggression so much as they were the tools at hand. His evil, I think, would naturally be the banal evil of men spinning the wheel of industry and not caring whose blood slicks the gears. Pragmatic apathy.

[@tamiwatchesstuff]

I agree. In the book, I found him to be impulsive and brutish but while he wasn't cunning like Feyd, he certainly wasn't stupid either because he was able to display some military intelligence in order to keep the spice mines running.

How many other poignant observations were ignored over the decades, not because they were wrong but just because it was Glossu Rabban who made them?

I always had a soft spot for Rabban in the books. He wasn't brilliant, as the Baron was, but neither was he stupid; he wasn't a great athlete like Feyd, but he was still a powerful man; his greatest failing, as he shared with both of them, was his inability to overcome his own cultural association and upbringing.

Actually the father and mother of Feyd and Rabban were the opposite of the Baron, but the Baron hated his brother because he troughs that he was destroying their reputation with his kindness and their profits of spice, so he banish his brother and took control of Arrakis, later adopt his nephews, seeing Feyd as the future of House Harkonnen, Rabban come back to his parents that lived in an ocean planet where yearly they hunted for whales, but because Rabban was dumb and brutal, one day decided to hunted down and nearly kill them all, scaring the whales, destroying the living of the village were his parents live, he was sent back to the Baron after that.

I loved Dave Bautista as Rabban, and i loved this video. This analysis was totally on point. Dave Bautista's performance had so much intensity and emotion in it, you can't help but be drawn in. It was a joy to watch. That said, his ability to accurately gauge how formidable the Fremen were would have been a useful element to incorporate in the films. You can see so much of House Harkonnen in the machinations of House Frey of ASOIAF. Like the Freys, the Harkonnens are upjumped merchants who made their vast fortunes though ignoble means. And though their source of wealth won't earn them respect from their social superiors, they know full well how powerful it makes them, despite the disdain of more noble families. And Beast Rabban surely inspired the large number of cruel and thuggish Freys we see in the course of the story. Awesome video.

Rabban had the caution that his uncle lacked. While Rabban was no Mentat he understood the strength of the Sarduakar if the Fremen could kill Sarduakar a feet no Harkonen force could do then he had right to worry had only The Baron taken these words to consideration then the ambush the Harkonens and the Corrinos faced might have been avoided or maybe could have denied The Fremen their surprising victory allowing the empire to regroup. Defeating the Sarduakar gave the empire to Paul as it was the Sarduakar that made the very throne the first Padishah sat upon when the Jihad ended.

Rabban lost his temper and strangled his father. After this he smiled and said something like this 'Now everyone call me Beast'. Those books also clearly implies Rabban was sadistic and enjoyed hurting and killing people. But I understand that some people don't consider those books canon.

[@Psalm-Wisdom]

Love to see park yeon jin be analyzed

[@everythingissogreen6748]

I have been away from the channel for a while. It's good to see you in your videos!

[@dadevm8944]

Boyd Crowder from Justified would be sweet.

[@JayCity10]

Analyzing Evil: Col. William Tarvington from The Patriot. Analyzing Evil: Longshanks from Braveheart I've been waiting for a video of these two monsters.

[@AntiHeroHub]

Babe wake up, Vile Eye posted another character analysis

[@VoltitanDev]

Suggestions Masamune Dan: Kamen Rider Ex Aid Shiro Kanzaki: Kamen Rider Ryuki The DGP: Kamen Rider Geats

[@wattsnottaken1]

He did good in Dune part 1 and 2. Can u do a video on Inspector/ Major Campbell from Peaky Blinders. He definitely needs a breakdown video.

[@JayCity10]

Analyzing Evil: Bricktop from Snatch Analyzing Evil: Eric Qualan from Cliffhanger Analyzing Evil: Roy Stampler from Primal Fear Analyzing Evil: Nancy Downs from The Craft Analyzing Evil: Franklin Saint from Snowfall

[@jackalope2302]

Bricktop!

[@JayCity10]

To me, Bricktop is more evil than Tommy DeVito. He's a hearty combination of Lil Z mixed with Nino Brown, and sprinkled Tommy DeVito. He's a crime boss after all. Which means his reach, power, and influence, is wider than DeVito's is. He's just an associate. Bricktop is on Nino Brown's level of evil.

[@casualbob6448]

We called him Paco on our rugby team back in 10148.

[@Just_a_teddy_bear]

Glossu looks like he stubbed his toe on the thumbnail.

[@FookMi69]

Nah, a smaller sand worm took a bite from his no-no’s.

[@tylerpetersen6226]

It is interesting how baron harkonnen consolidates as much as much as possible in his hold. The only time he ever shown to be willing to part with that power is when it is needed or when it would benefit his dynasty he gave Rabban stewardship of dune as a means to prove himself and gain legitimacy as his successor perhaps sensing Fayd was a bit too blood thirsty of an heir. Only when Rabban is unable to quell the unrest was he dismissed and the role given to Fayd who is much more successful. As soon as Fayd begins to prove himself competent does he start scheming to join his line with emperor's daughter using the blackmail that the emperor was personally involved in the fall of the Atrideus. As for when the emperor shows up unannounced he forms an immediate contingency plan of having the great houses appear as an insurance policy if he were to be deposed plunging humanity into a civil war. The ultimate irony of all of this is his actions would cement his lines rule over the galaxy for thousands of years without ever intending to do so through Paul and Lehto.

It's so weird seeing you start your videos with you. I don't hate the change, but I did always love the way the character started talking when you did, making it seem like they were speaking. Anyways, I love your videos and concept of channel. Please keep up the amazing work :)

[@Kemal1923]

Uncle How can we let this happen! How can the emperor TAKE! Everything WE'VE BUILT! AND GIVE IT TO THAT DUKE! HOW!!

[@ryanarment5393]

He had some intelligence and was capable of insight, he practically drooled when the baron gave him a free hand. He used violence as a tool but loved it too.

[@nostear8261]

Honestly the new look they gave them is just awesome

[@TottalliGuy]

This format is such a comeback its crazy

[@markhenzel4637]

After you finish with Dune villains, please make series of Legend of Korra villains. They are very interesting. 1. Unalaq 2. Amon and equalists 3. Zaheer and Red Lotus 4. Kuvira

[@forcechanneltocomment512]

Analyzing Evil: Benjamin Netanyahu is something that'd be really cool to watch!

[@aydenburris8631]

Please make a video about the Night King/White Walkers

[@VoltitanDev]

Baron should have listened to his nephew about the Fremen.

[@Unpainted_Huffhines]

The Harkonnen "slave pits" are specifically referring to gladitorial fighting pits. The Harkonnens were obsessed with gladiatorial games. Gurney Halleck was a fighting slave as a boy, and his sister was put to work in a slave brothel. The Harkonnens thought nothing of casually "eliminating" slaves in either place.

[@sectorgovernor]

In the House Harkonnen novel, the slave pit was next to a blue obsidian mine. The slaves were mine workers including Gurney.

[@Unpainted_Huffhines]

@@sectorgovernor Ah, I haven't read the Brian Herbert expanded novels. The impression I got from the original series strongly suggested that the "pits" were for gladiators. It also explains why Gurney ended up a world-class knife fighter. I don't see him picking up those skills digging in a mine.

[@mencken8]

“Analysis of Evil.” Among the shortest volumes in the known universe. Evil is the absence of good. 6 words.

[@samlerf]

Lol, one should make streams writing villains with the vile eye. Perhaps stories could come from that. I'd pay a lot for this cool voice to read an audiobook full tension, world building and characterization.

[@carloszapata847]

Will you make a video on Paul Atreides himself? Or his son, Leto II?

[@andrewemerson6077]

Love seeing the Dune characters this week! Can’t wait for the next one. Also, another great video! Could a potential episode be on Micah Bell III from Read Dead Redemption?

[@jennyAsta]

I realize that there may not be enough material to fill out a video, but after seeing your videos on Pinhead, I wondered if you would consider doing Frank and Julia Cotton. They really seem to be the true villans of both the original novella, and the first two films.

[@Kenshiro3rd]

Rabban was DEFINITELY written as a Sadist... just as Baron Vladimir was. Vladimir was written as an intellectual, emotional, and sexual sadist. Rabban was written as a purely physical one, he doesn't just like violence... he LOVES and gets off on it.

[@schulzscheie4175]

You should analyze Bob and Leland Palmer from Twin Peaks in the same episode. If you don’t want to watch the entire show just watch the movie “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me”.

[@JazzSicaa]

Never expected a crossover between The Vile Eye and Vsauce. Congratulations!!

[@Specsp421]

I’d love to see an analyzing evil on the Teiai Group from the Kaiji series. Specifically the keys figures we see in the anime, Tonegawa, Ichijou, and Hyoudou

[@navneethgopal1211]

Bautista showed his acting potential as the rogue android in Blade Runner 2047. He absolutely killed it as Rabban.

[@orionthanathos8861]

Analyzing Evil: Neoth from Warhammer 40000.

[@cosmobane6995]

I find the way narrator read Rabban's and Vladimir's conversation in monotone voice hilarious.
