EMPEROR SHADDAM CORRINO IV (Spice Wars and Fall of House Corrino in DUNE) EXPLORED

[@MrHellsing76]

If there is a fictional equivalent to "The risk I took was calculated, but man am I bad at math..." it is Emperor Shaddam, I think Emperor Palpatine is honestly the only Emperor to make *dumber* choices as a ruler.

[@ravenRedwake]

Well, there’s Neoth.

[@pticatori]

Agreed. However, Palpatine's rise to power was a brilliant master plan.

[@jamesmorgan1886]

Shaddam didn't really make "dumb" choices though, it was a failure of imagination. He was too stuck in his view of the universe to imagine the numbers and might of the Fremen. His worst decision was trusting the Baron

[@ahmadfitri7976]

Emperor Palpatine didn't make dumb choices. He is just too arrogant with his power and implementation of fear to the whole galaxy.

[@X2yt]

Shaddam had the worst luck ever. Not only did he literally give away Arrakis, a.k.a. The most valuable and most important planet in the universe to the house he sought to destroy, which basically is like giving your worst enemy a nuke hoping he won't notice backstab with a knife, but he also ended up a reign of emperors that lasted 10,000 years. Like, imagine being that guy that ended 10 millenia of emperors. And funniest of all, it was all the result of his own ego. He actually liked Leto Atreides and if not for his own interests, he even thought Leto to be the best possible husband for his daughters and possibly even the best successor to the Throne, since Shaddam didn't have sons. But, like, instead of that, he chose to chase his ego, and in less that a decade, lost literally everything. What a guy.

[@GafftheHorse]

It wasn't luck, he tried a series of plays he thought would focus all power on him without having to negotiate with the various other powers in his universe and he lost everything. He got greedy and ambitious, he even resented his best ally, the count.

[@UiliamLima-jv9yu]

Not a developed character, Iurlan is also there to explain Puar's stupid statement at the end of the book. Just like the supposed plan of the Bene Gesserit to place their soon-to-be-born project boy on the throne, this also never seemed to make sense, in the film it gets worse, because it seems that they planned to marry Iurlan C with the kwisatz haderach, which basically makes no sense, since Paul was born a generation earlier than they planned. If this kwisatz haderach had been born as predicted, Irulan would be an old woman.

Imagine Shaddam rolling in his grave knowing that Paul married his daughter but never gave her heirs, effectively blocking his bloodline from ever having a claim to the throne. He not only failed in his schemes but also obtained the worst possible outcome for himself and he totally deserved it.

[@asavelakuse6865]

Ghanima Paul's daughter married a Corrino. With the mix of the bloods Leto II made a human that could not be seen.

[@UiliamLima-jv9yu]

He should have already known this, there was no more political power in the Corrinos when they decided to go to the dune for a summer vacation and were completely destroyed, Irulan is a literary asset, to explain the foolishness of the final script. In addition to the Pocahontas trope, remember, Paul is a tyrant, but he doesn't cuckold, because everyone prefers brunettes.

@@fredkelly6953 That's right...and many commentators believe Leto really was power hungry, and had his eye on Shaddam's throne...Leto suspected Arrakis was a trap but went there anyway (also endangering the lives of his family) hoping he could recruit the Fremen on his side...Leto probably knew he would have the Lansdsraad behind him in his claim to the throne (on top of the Emperor's treachery)...Baron Harkonnen in the book dreamed of House Harkonnen gaining the Emperor's throne the same way...during a conversation with Fenring he feigned horror that the Emperor could possibly attack him, but secretly hoped it would happen... so he could rally the Landsraad behind him

[@koko40800]

@@fredkelly6953 It was never specifically said in the book, but I believe that's perhaps another reason why Leto didn't marry Jessica...he wanted to maintain the option of gaining a 'favorable' political marriage...and what marriage would be more politically favorable than taking the Emperor's throne and marrying his daughter? ...If so, it's interesting that Paul ended up fulfilling his father's ambitions...so perhaps Shaddam was not the only one who wished Irulan could marry Leto...maybe Leto was also wishing it ;-)

[@elizabethjansen2684]

​@@koko40800actually it is mentioned in the book that he never married Jessica to encourage alliances by marriage to another noble family, not necessarily to the emperor's though.

[@koko40800]

@ethjansen2684 True...and that's what Leto told Jessica, why he didn't marry her (which in the book still caused some bitterness on her part, since they both loved each other)....I'm just suggesting that Leto's ambitions for the Emperor's throne (and to marry Irulan) were his secret...never mentioned in the book, but hinted at through his many actions (not marrying Jessica even though he loved her...building an army to rival the Sardaukar...building popularity among the Landsraad....accepting Arrakis suspecting it was a trap, but hoping to outmaneuver and defeat the trap by recruiting the Fremen)....There's no way Leto would not have exacted the throne as a price, if the Emperor attacked him and Leto defeated him...and otherwise Leto probably expected to defeat any Harkonnen attack, if it was unassisted

[@ObiClon]

A good example of the man who aspired to be greater than his station(s) but not the foresight to fully get them off the ground in ways that wouldn't come back to bite him in the end.

[@wolfbane7497]

You know I find it kind of funny that he calls Paul's father a weak man when every other house wanted him to be the emperor and he got butthurt because he wasn't a good emperor. Because he was weak and he promoted his own soldiers not through Merit but just loyalty. And by his hand he effectively rendered the Surdukar weaker. To the point where they only had to rely on their name rather than their skills. But keep in mind their skills were still quite deadly and effective but when it came to the Fraeman they were weak.

Where did you get that from? The emperor, the Bene Gessrit plan and the details of how they would place the project boy are never developed, DUNA has more script conveniences than a shit soap opera;.

I find the Shaddam in a hard position, not surprised his empire and rule failed. He was so restricted on what he can do with limited options. Whenever he tried a new scheme, there was something to happen that would prevent it. He reminded me of the later Holy Roman Emperors, who didn’t have much control of the Germans states but were really a figure head in name. Great video like always, your content is the best. Shaddam is one of my favorite characters in the Dune series.

[@elizabethjansen2684]

Not to mention that many ruling houses secretly, or not so secretly. hated him. His power hunger, starting with murdering his father and older brother, didn't matc his capabilities in skullduggery. Only because Fenring helped was he able to get and maintain his throne. Shaddam was mentally unstable.

[@winzyl9546]

This is assuming that the HRE was a centralized empire to begin with. Much like the empire of dune, the HRE was never designed to be a centralized empire like the French empire. The HRE emperors were not figure heads, they were essentially first among equals.

[@elizabethjansen2684]

@winzyl9546 no it wasn't intended to be but ended up that way. There was a schism and a separation with the "popes" of each faction excommunicated the other. When Rome fell the other party continued for centuries. So they did consolidate power intentionally and rather quickly too; Because it was a state religion. Much like what happened after Paul took the throne. Shaddam thought he was entitled to such a position. Because of history, the other nobles made darn sure he never quite had that much control. Power attracts the coruptible, and he was a pretty nasty person under his veneer. Almost as bad as the baron. Personally I think that's what fyed was like because of the baron's influence.

i like to think with the mythical status achieved by Paul and Leto 2, it wouldnt be remembered that house corrino managed to survive, more that so great was House Atreides, that corrino dissapeared into it. like it was just paul and leto sorting out the issue and getting a firm grasp. history will just remember Shaddam as the one who set the stage for Leto. i always kinda forget that the story is more about worm leto than paul. certainly paul is a big part of it. but history would barely remember him after what his son did. i guess when people find the secret histories leto hid and get the true history of things that they will know more about paul.

[@UiliamLima-jv9yu]

Not that it makes any sense. It is unreal and unrealistic in all terms. Irulan didn't even try to have a child herself, because PAUL said he would kill her, which gives an idea that the universe is a small thing, I think she would have tried, even if it didn't come to anything, (if the character had really a sense in the story) is silly, Because the character exists to explain how Paul destroyed millennia of a dynasty, it's not supposed to make sense. And of course, if you finished the whole shitty series, you know that it's about Chani's immortal love for Paul, that is, everything in the end is about a brunette you fall in love with in the desert, looking from afar, Dune looks like a silly romance of teenager.

[@ttrestle]

I’ve been obsessed with Dune since I was 15 in 1995. I’ve read all the books numerous times, watched the films and tv series numerous times and have listened the audiobook versions a few times. I still think it’s one of the greatest sci-fi books of all time. But, I am beyond disappointed with the casting of Christopher Walken as the emperor. Not only does it nit match the look of the emperor in the books, but the age of the actor is just so off that it’s painful. It reminds me of of how bad the decision to as to cast Duncan Idaho with Aquaman. These two decisions are painful, especially because DV is such a fan of the books and such a great person to bring them to the big screen. Why would he make these two terrible decisions? I mean, I understand that he has casting directors, but he must have final say, right? He had to know that while Christopher Walken was a genius actor in films like the Deer Hunter, his age alone, makes him a poor choice for the emperor. Just like the decision to cast Aquaman as Duncan Idaho was a terrible decision. Particularly because Duncan Idaho is so key to the long-term story. Why would you cast somebody who is a poor actor and not good at nuance? I’m sure I will enjoy the second film as much as the first but little things like this truly disappoint fans of Dune.

I assume you weren't too happy with part two. I can understand that for people that were already into Dune before part 1 was announced. But I think what DV doing here is quite interesting. In the book, Paul has a vision where he is the one killing the Baron just like in the movie. I find this to be set in the same universe, just if things went slightly different. Except for stuff like the age of the emperor's actor, of course.

Im sorry that this question might seemingly have nothing to do with this video, but if the Bene Gesserit were so involved with their Kwisatz Hadarak project; if they attempted to weaken the very Imperial Family to facilitate it, and then bullied the Emperor of the Known Universe to help safeguard Atreides, how were they later surprised that Jessica had born Leto a son? They sermed to have eyes everywhere, and even Sisters who were not openly known as members of the BG were manipulating things, so how, if the Atreides heir was so critical, and Jessica had been instructed to make a girl for them, did they go nearly two decades without being aware? Leto was popular; I'd bet other Houses were thinking of trying to marry a daughter to Paul, and solodify a union with the rising star of Atreides, or at least there would have been buzz that Paul had been born, yet the ever-alert Sisterhood never knew until their leader heard sbout it at court? It's also kind of weird that, after she birthed Paul, that Jessica waited so long to produce that girl. She and Leto were still close, and I feel like it could have maybe worked if they heard THAT buzz, but then missed the Paul buzz. Hell, it's weird that they didn't know about Paul, but had sent Jessica to Leto to have a child. Were they not concerned that a beautiful, seductive BG hadn't had ANY child with the noble she was sent to? The Harkonnen heir was already in his 20s; would they have wanted to wait another X years for an Atreides girl to be able to breed with him? Yada yada, this was a fun video. I learned stuff I wasn't aware of, and it sort of helped illustrate why the Emperor might be paranoid about Atreides. It never seemed, too me, that Leto had actually seemed preparing to topple the throne, so why destroy him? Shaddam could have had Irulan marry Paul, preventing the Maud'dib Crisis, but nope.

Just like the supposed plan of the Bene Gesserit to place their soon-to-be-born project boy on the throne, this also never seemed to make sense, in the film it gets worse, because it seems that they planned to marry Iurlan C with the kwisatz haderach, which basically makes no sense, since Paul was born a generation earlier than they planned. If this kwisatz haderach had been born as predicted, Irulan would be an old woman.

I do like that this channel acknowledges the prequels unlike Quinn's Ideas!

[@pmyumjr]

I enjoy hearing about the prequels as I gave up on them some time ago, and might give them another try. I just think needs making clear that the details are taken from the expanded story by KJA. Too many contradictions in the expanded stories for me to treat them the same as actual dune. Support quinn in not referencing them as well. Very much 2 canons.

[@geoffreyhughes1]

@@pmyumjr there is only one canon; Herbert Properties LLC, if it comes from there it is the word.

Irulan was not banished to sellusus

[@playbookshowme484]

Yeah that had me head scratching... did he get his info from a new comic story line? She was I think very controlled by BG, historian.

[@koko40800]

He said his other four daughters were, not Irulan

New Eden (Eve) invaded the Dune universe? Nice.

[@kevinjkelliher]

There is one problem I have with the Dune series and that is Arrakis is a desert world yet suddenly thousands of Freemen appear to conquer the universe. There are simply not enough food sources for this to happen. Probably the writer's biggest mistake.

[@koko40800]

It was explained in Part 1 that the Fremen cultivated plants in the desert...it was also mentioned in the book that as children they hunted (and probably ate) desert creatures such as scorpions, etc.

[@kevinjkelliher]

TOO MUCH DESERT, TOO LITTLE FOOD FOR EVEN DESERT ANIMALS. EARTHLY DESERTS HAVE ALMOST NO POPULATION IN THE SAND-LIKE CONDITIONS SHOWN AND FURTHER MORE THEIR NUMBERS WERE A SURPRISE. @@koko40800

[@koko40800]

@@kevinjkelliher The Fremen may have also received nutrients from Spice, which granted them health and long life. I think you're nitpicking b/c we're talking about an entirely different planet and ecosystem...the Fremen were a technologically advanced people who learned to survive in the desert...they were collecting water in large basins, so no reason they couldn't grow food.....and we saw in Part 1 they had a Botanical Testing Station (where the Sardaukar attacked Paul, Kynes, Duncan et al.)

Sorry, I have to watch these videos on audio only. Those AI-generated images are too deep in the uncanny valley. Actually makes me nauseous.

Yea his dad was so weak he panicked and launched an attack to decimate his entire bloodline and house. Looks like the response you do to a weak man right?

[@pentegarn1]

Well I wasn't going to see the next movie because I didn't like the first one (I didn't like every house's color being black) but if Christopher Walken is going to be in it.....I guess I have no choice? ;P
