History Awesome / DunePartTwo

*** That scene is so reminiscent of the Lannister army seeing Daenerys on Drogon's back. And the soundtrack used, certainly amplifies the badass charge of the Fremen.

** Stilgar's entry into the battle on the back of a huge SandWorm is also worthy of mention. After the Sardaukar start to recover from the blast, and the sheer shock of the sudden attack, as the sandstorm closes in, from the dust cloud emerges the full, toothy mouth of a giant sandworm, with two others beside it and hundreds of Fremen on their backs. The giant only stays above ground long enough for the Sardaukar to [[OhCrap realize]] what's about to happen to them, and most don't even bother trying to fight and instead try to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere make a run for it]]. Not that running was going to do them much good anyway...

* Princess Irulan spends her every scene showing the formidable intellect behind her beauty, seeing through the lies the Bene Gesserit and her father Emperor Shaddam IV try to feed her, deducing that Paul Atreides is involved in the Fremen guerilla, and finally convincing Paul to spare her father by offering to give him voluntarily what he could take by force anyway - her hand in marriage - and ''getting her way''. As Shaddam himself said, she would have made a fine empress.

* Paul's [[BigEntrance arrival]] outside the Fremen leaders' gathering, [[UnflinchingWalk unflinchingly walking]] towards and amidst the Fremen crowd, wearing his [[InTheHood hooded]] BadassCape and with a SandWorm leaping out of the ground and back in it behind him (he doesn't even turn back to look at). As a cherry on the cake, the scene is powerfully scored with [[https://youtu.be/iPypPemhFls?list=PLY6gkiZa1V629LrdYqDPJ4vB-s_2A6QmS "Arrival"]] by Music/HansZimmer.

* Paul's powerful messianic speech to the assembly of Fremen leaders, all while proving his ability to see the past and the future, effectively winning them over despite not being a leader. While he knows the prophecy has been engineered by the Bene Gesserit and Chani is not onboard with it, Paul/Muad'Dib fully embraces his destiny. Especially after he wears his father's signet ring in front of everyone, showing that he's embracing two destinies, as both the Duke of House Atreides and the Fremen's DarkMessiah. Perfectly showcased by Paul alternating between English and Chakobsa perfectly.

* The final battles between the Fremen and Sardaukar, and then later between the Fremen and the Harkonnens, are gloriously and cathartically [[CurbStompBattle one-sided affairs]] in favor of the Fremen, and that in the previous film House Atreides only lost because they were caught completely unawares by the Sardaukar and Harkonnens only further goes to show how dangerous of an alliance between House Atreides and the Fremen really would have been.

* Paul does what no other character in the franchise has managed before and ''[[ShutUpHannibal stops the Reverend Mother in her tracks]]'', silencing her and making her stumble back with judicious application of the Voice. He ''is'' the [[DarkMessiah Kwisatz Haderach]], [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans for better or for worse]].

* After seeing Paul win the duel, Jessica had a few choice words to Reverend Mother Mohiam. Fitting, as she was the one who manipulated the Emperor to exterminate the Atreides, all to exterminate a defiant bloodline, save for a Bene Gesserit whose "pride" believed that she could give birth to the ''Kwisatz Haderach'', along with her son, the "prospect". She can only stand by and watch as her plans backfired spectacularly in her face as the DarkMessiah, the so-called ultimate power, is beyond her control. The following exchange, from one [[TheChessmaster chessmaster]] to another, is awesome.

'''Mohiam:''' "Side"? [[TheChessmaster You]], of all people, should know, there are no side... Reverend Mother.
