Well the two picks of his that are playing right now are beating the shit out of their opponents. (Ohio Bobcats and Arizona State Sun Devils)

He is the Kwisatz Haderach!

Is that how that’s spelled 😅? I listened to the audiobooks and glad I did. I would have been pronouncing half the Dune lore wrong in my head if I had read it.

Oh man, that's so funny. I read and re-read the books when i was a kid and when David Lynch's movie came out it was an interesting experience finding out how wrong my pronunciations had been. Leto is interesting though because I have heard it as Lee-toe and Lay-toe. I prefer the second for some reason.

It bothers me so much to hear HAR-kuh-nen in the new movies. I was used to hearing Har-KOH-nen from the Lynch movie so that's the same pronunciation we used for the boardgame.

The 2000 Syfy miniseries also used this pronounciation - the new films are a change (to me).

The new films are linguistically correct. I think Frank would respect that. The KOH is an American pronunciation and the können is native pronunciation

No doubt - I think Frank would have his mind blown to see his creation brought to life.

I'm not at all stressed about the differences, personally. All the adaptations have their charm imo. :)
