Can someone explain II lore to me?
Main Post:
Can someone summarize all 3 seasons to me? And how Steve Cobs was involved? Who is MePhoneX? What is MeLife? And some additional information you'd like to share?
Top Comment: do you want like a full summary of the show or just the lore
Show Me Your Leto II Art!
Main Post:
Currently on God Emperor, and Leto’s transformation is so incredibly fascinating to me. I love how Herbert gives you just enough to get a general idea of what he looks like, but leaves the details up to the reader’s interpretation.

Realistically where do you think he’ll show up again? The Penguin Series - The Batman Part II - Or an unannounced project?
Main Post:
I think it’s clear he’s been told he’s coming back and there’s plans in place but is it possible he filmed things already for the penguin?

Most likely in Part II.
History of the World Part II. How is nobody talking about this? Hoping to start a discussion.

I thought certain segments were great, especially the Kama Sutra one. Curious if anyone else is enjoying this as much as me.
Top Comment: I was surprised that Mel Brooks had an AMA earlier today, but this sub didn't even put up a discussion thread for premieres like they usually do. I'm just going to plagiarize my own comments from another post that didn't get any views. It was a mixed bag for me. I hadn't watched the original in almost 20 years, but that was also imperfect and uneven, so at least it's not shitting on the legacy. I thought that the movie worked best in small doses (the Dawn of Man, Stone Age, Ten Commandments and of course the Eunuch test) but dragged along during the Roman Empire and French Revolution sections. This one also has some good stuff, but the recurring Civil War and Russian Revolution segments are similarly dragging. Likes: The introduction with swole Mel was a great way to establish the tone They kept the original theme by John Morris! Humor is as irreverent as ever (for better or worse) I'm glad they brought Mel on as narrator, taking the place of Orson Welles. Seems fitting somehow The Kama Sutra short felt tonally consistent with the original material They also kept the musical element, which was a big part of the movie The parodies were all in my wheelhouse; Jackrasp was really amusing to me. Never thought I'd see the crossover between Mel Brooks and Jackass Curb Your Judaism was pretty, pretty good Khan'd was also an amusing twist (loved the charcoal artists hiding) All the revolving guest stars are iconic and great Jack Black as singing Stalin Sigmund Freud's MasterClass Easter Bunny crossbreeding The Egyptian Pyramid scheme was good, though Fred Armisen reminded me strangely of Yogurt Dislikes: My OCD would prefer if they kept the sketches in loose chronological order (following the movie), but I guess they're sticking with an 'episodic' quality, revisiting some of the same characters each episode No repeats! But they basically already did a version of "the discovery of fire" in the movie We finally got Hitler on Ice! But they essentially recycled the footage and then fumbled the ending The anachronistic quality seemed a bit overdone to me; the TV news crew, the Tik Tok makeup tutorial, the crew reflected in the glasses, etc. The original wasn't quite as heavy-handed about it Some of it just didn't work for me at all, like the Civil War, parts of the Russian Revolution and the Shirley! sitcom. I get the impression some of these storylines are going to end up merging at some point, similar to the movie Noah's Ark felt like a huge wasted opportunity That's only my criticism of the first four episodes, but it seems like the previews have some more good stuff in store. I'm actually just tickled pink that they're continuing this after 42 years. That's got to count for something, so I'm trying to keep an open mind. If nothing else, I'm glad it got me to revisit the original movie after all this time. I feel the same way about the Fawlty Towers revival; it gives me a great excuse to watch the originals again after so many years.
