I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

My wife texted me and asked if I wanted to try the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cake ice cream and I texted her this back as a reaction gif. She didn't get it; I feel like it was wasted on her.

They’ve spent thousands of years executing a breeding program to produce Space Jebus to save the human race from its inevitable self-destruction. They are finally one generation away from producing him and Jessica derails it by giving Leto a son and heir instead of the daughter she was instructed to produce. Said daughter would’ve bred with a Harkonnen to produce Jebus.

Jessica is pregnant with a daughter at the moment but…stay tuned.

So I’m guessing that

if there’s a prophecy about a BG descendent breeding with a Harkonnen, then Paul + Zendaya would have the same result?

P+Z's offspring does end up having quite an impact. Ultimately, Paul turns away from his destiny as the KS and, even more ultimately, Duncan Idaho v869 ends up being the Uber KS thousands of years in the future.

It trusts it's audience and allows room for intrigue and doubt. It allows us to hold our confusion with trust that we'll get there eventually. Every aspect of the movie works toward that end.
