This scene demonstrates why I love how Vault-Tec is written as an evil corporation. It's not the usual mustache-twirling, over-the-top villainy you see in other media. It's quiet, subtle, and very realistic, which only serves to make Vault-Tec that much more terrifying.

When Cooper finishes describing how Vault-Tec was responsible for the deaths of countless people, the executive here does two things: a) he makes their deaths about himself (ALL WHILE NOT EVEN ACKNOWLEDGING THEM!), and b) he makes it about "Product Management."

It really emphasizes the theme that corporations like Vault-Tec and the suits who run them at Vault-Tec only care about the company and its products and NOT the people who use them (or are being used by them).

#the way vault tec really prioritized capitalizing on the end of the world #buddy its the end of the world what the fuck are you capitalizing on #the show did a fantastic job at portraying the corporate world and its inhumane ‘ideology’ for lack of a better word

That moment when the unrelated scenes you've been writing for two weeks both somehow connect (i have no idea how this happened)

Hate (affectionate) how it's made so clear from the very beginning of part 1 just how loved Paul is by his family and household. Both his parents, Duncan, Gurney, Thufir, even Dr Yueh all clearly care so deeply for this kid, and we're shown that time and time again.

Cut to the end of part two, and almost every one of those people is gone. The only ones who remain are a weird, came-back-wrong version of Jessica, and Gurney who has gone from mentor to worshipper. Paul goes from someone deeply loved and valued for who he is by a small but caring group of people - to someone followed and worshipped and feared by thousands. They're obsessed with him in a way, as a leader and "messiah", but nobody loves him.

The only one remaining who loves him for who he is is Chani, who leaves him because in the end that love isn't enough to bring who he is back.

I love how in Dune part 2, they made Chani literally the voice of Franks Herbert, deeply suspicious of governments, charismatic leaders and organized religion and prophecy, she has to watch all that she feared would shackle her people come to bind them with the chains held by the very person she trusted and loved and who promised her he didn't want to be a leader, and then a bunch of guts on the Internet call Chani, "a stuck up, pouting, over dramatic teen," Sir, that is your author avatar.

#people complaining about her passivity need to fucking read this

Trying to enjoy the new hotd trailers but knowing I’m now going to be subjected to the most brain dead, annoying, insufferable and overblown discourse/fan behaviour of my entire life again.

#intellectual conversations with 99% of this fandom is fucking impossible #they are so brain dead that media literacy flies out the window like a scared pigeon

the fact that rhaenyra and alicent might not even be in the same frame together this entire season and yet in any scene of one of them you can feel the weight of the other
