God Help Meeeeeeeee

GODDDDAMMMN FINALLY SOMEONE SAYING THIS! I'M SO TIRED OF JOURNALISTS AND INTERVIEWS, I WOULD SEND FEYD TO THEIR HOUSES I SWEAR!

Do they even have a brain to examine something other than the two scenes in the movie? A "book" perhaps? They just sexualize his character as a Psychotic Villain...

Everytime I see some interview or review about how amazingly 'terrifying' Austin Butler was as Feyd-Rautha I die a bit inside. Like how could they miss the point so entirely?

The baron is terrifying, Rabban is terrifying, Piter is terrifying but Feyd? Yeah sure he'll kill without remorse, he'll plot, he's sneaky and will even enjoy inflicting pain if it strokes his ego or ambition. However, in the context of his house....... he's the normal, reasonable one! He's the better option! Feyd is the charismatic one, the one that the people can love, and the people on Geidi Prime do love him.

He's the Harkonnens' best face, their ticket to leading the universe, not by pure violence but by marriage and politics. Making him a senseless psychopath who VALUES HONOUR???? (Being a sneaky cheater and liar is probably his CENTRAL TRAIT) and cornerstone of his character. Hes a slimy little politician in the making, not a serial killer.

The way that Feyd is supposed to take power over Arrakis is by appearing MORE MERCIFUL AND MORE REASONABLE than the harkonnens who came before. Even if he's motivated by ambition rather than kindness (so is Paul, in many ways), he's supposed to swoop in and RESCUE the people of Arrakis from the hands of his brute brother (as far as they can see). JUST LIKE PAUL HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE SEEN AS A BETTER ALTERNATIVE, if not an outright saviour.

Yes he's cruel and yes he is scheming but the savagery they keep ascribing to him in the movie belongs to Rabban and the true psychopathic sadism to Piter. They've just kinda mixed those three separate antagonists into a kind of bland puree that they poured inside Austin Butler, whose performance is nowhere near strong enough to pull it off. (the voice.... dear God..... the voice). Villeneuve has given him a bunch of traits that are better exemplified in the other members of his house and gotten rid of the things that made him a unique Harkonnen enemy and an effective mirror to Paul.

Hell in the book he even LOOKS like Paul (curly dark hair) and it's implied that the baron is attracted to both of them, implying he has a certain type. The mirroring could not be more obvious. It is also explicitly stated that Feyd could have been a good person with a better upbringing which the whole edgelord 'he killed his mum for no reason' thing just shits all over for no reason at all.

Sigh.

It just feels so lazy and uninventive, but most of all it's just a shame because it's so much less interesting than it could have been. Compared to that, having him do a batman voice and feed people to his cannibal harem for fun is just so.... lame.

Me on a daily basis:

Warning?: fluff to dark, thoughts of murder

Feyd loves to cuddle with you. He usually stays awake longer than you do so that he has more time to enjoy the moment. Especially when the nights are cold, he loves to hold you close to his warm body and stroke your soft skin with his fingertips. He loves your soft, relaxed sigh. That the brutal world is suspended for a moment, as if you two were the only living beings in the entire galaxy. Nothing and nobody could hurt you at this moment. He loves to run his nose over your hair. The scent of your shampoo and perfume makes him melt away.

And he would never say a word about it. He would never admit that he craves you. Greedy as fire for gasoline. He wouldn't say the three 'magic' words, his actions were to show you that he loved you. And if you didn't understand that, that would be your own problem. He could kill you here and now, you knew that. He knew that. It would be so easy for him to break your neck with a quick movement of his hand or slit your body open with your own swords. But he didn't do it. Not because he didn't want to. He would like to murder you almost every day. But he knew that he could no longer bite you. No more your sweet blood, no more your beautiful scent, no more listening to your calm breathing. Oh, how boring his life would be without yours in his hands…
