#I mean that last fight between Paul and Jamis? ultimately Paul won because he could strategize his move

It's so funny to me, when people try to say Paul can't be a good warrior just because Timothée is too skinny. Now, I don't know how good or bad he is in the books? But, being a warrior is not all about physicality. Yes, it's good to be built like Duncan or Gurney, but at the end of the day, good warriors are able to use their minds as well. That idea that a skinny person can't fight is so boring and predictable. If you can weaponize your own body, know how to work with it, your weak spots and also the strong ones, you can be an amazing warrior, just like the built ones.

#this is me projecting all my female characters here because they ARE excellent warriors #I have a thing for warriors don't get me started on this #and you know what? not only my girls #because for example I wrote a character once (Max my baby) and his human look alike(???) was Harry Lloyd #and Harry IS a skinny guy but Max was a tremendous fighter because he was smart #same with Imogen (Saoirse) and Sam (Martha Streck) #ohhh but they went through great training and I think that's the thing #I mean that last fight between Paul and Jamis? ultimately Paul won because he could strategize his move #and that's one of my favorite moments (I'm 1000000% talking about the movie here; again; I don't know about the books) #because uuuuugh just.... #give me well trained warriors that's all I need #smart warriors who can win fights by using their brains as well #that's all I want from media #yes give me undefeated warriors but make it make sense don't make them perfect JUST because they're super strong #show me how they use their strength in their favor because strength can also play against them not every warrior has to be huge #I don't know this is me rambling while STILL rewatching Dune #I already selected the scenes I want to gif but I can't stop watching #random #personal #my shitty English #give me warriors or give me death #but well written warriors thanks #Paul Atreides #Duncan Idaho #Gurney Halleck #also #my life as a writer
