I don't think I've ever disagreed with a comment more on this site. 

Also for the bolded part. It's a massive peeve of mine when people act like there opinion is the norm when it very much is not. Bladerunner 2049 is well liked both critically and by audiences(the few that actually watched it)

As the old adage goes about opinions and assholes...

Anyway, well, you know, that's just like your opinion, man.

You know what else those have in common? Some are more full of ____ than others...

I'd consider children of dune to be pretty essential 

I think Messiah is a good point to quit. IMO Children is the worst book of the six, while Messiah might be my favorite of the whole series.

If you read Children, then I'd recommend also reading God Emperor, that's the next best point to finish (and the next best book after the first two). But then, if you've read four books, you might as well do all six... the last two are still better than Children, if not as good as the others.

Agreed. I stopped after Children, simply because I hated the latter half of that book so much, and apparently God Emperor is just more of Leto's incessant monologuing.

What started as a Sci-fi series with poignant bits of philosophy peppered in, just became a self-indulgent philosophy marathon with only a thin veil of sci-fi trying to hide it. But if you're that interested in philosophy, there's dozens of better authors to spend your time and money on.

I'd rather Villeneuve's Messiah adaption leave no lead-off into possible future movies and have a much more climactic and concrete ending. Since he's already changed the dynamic between Paul and Chani a fair bit, he may as well completely change the dynamic between Paul, Chani and Irulan in the next movie.
