Depends on how detailed and respectful they wanted to be of the original material. Lawerence of Arab in Space where a young lord abuses a artificial prophecy to gain control of a planet, unleashing universal jihad where billions die isn’t far off.
It does leave out some of the interesting bits, like when one of his ancestors turns into a worm, marries his sister and gets another man to fuck her, since he’s no longer able to do so.
It’s just a joke, y’all are really over thinking it. I’m fully aware that watching the movies and reading the books are different experiences. The joke was that a summary cuts things just like the movie. That’s it.
A summarization of the Dune series would be a novella by itself.

The books do get… weird.
I’ll just watch the movies, thank 💪

It… isn’t though. By watching the movies you are missing one (1) novel’s worth of context, and it is impossible to really extrapolate from there.
