LETO ATREIDES II (The God Emperor of DUNE) EXPLAINED

Hey guys what’s happening? Niyat here with film comics explained. As requested, today we’ll be exploring The God Emperor featured in Frank Herberts expansive Dune universe.

Leto Atreides II, also known as the Tyrant, Great God Dur, Worm God, Old Worm and Prophet, was the first and only to hold the title of God Emperor. Older than Noah and more godlike than his father Paul Muad’Dib, no other figure has had a bigger impact on the history of humanity in Dune. He was born the second son of Emperor Paul Atreides and his Fremen concubine Chani Kynes, just after his twin sister Ghanima Atreides.

After the death of his aunt, the Regent Alia Atreides, Leto II proclaimed himself Emperor.
Ruling for 3,508 standard years, he would guide humanity with his iron fist towards survival.
Leto was named after the Duke Leto I Atreides, his paternal grandfather and Leto Atreides II the Elder, his older brother, who was murdered in infancy by the Harkonnens.

Through the evolution of Leto's body and powers (both prescience and access to possibly every dead ancestor in history), he was rendered infertile and slowly evolved into a sandworm with a human face. In return, his lifespan, speed and reflexes were significantly increased.

In this video, we’re going to explore his origins, rise into power, and the way Leto successfully guided humanity through a period of vulnerability and danger during a reign of some 3,500 years.
