Paul Waldman: With Dune Part II now in theaters I must remind everyone that in the David Lynch Dune, House Atreides brought a pug to Arrakis for no apparent reason and at one point Gurney Halleck (Patrick Stewart) carried it into battle

I am begging Denis Villeneuve to release the pug cut

*Paul* is the pug

Hold on this changes everything

Fun fact: this is where the word “pugnacious” came from.

battle pugs are very powerful if you are good with the weirdling ways

Well, now, what else would one do with a pug?

Lynch has made only one truly bad movie, and even it is mostly bad in ways that just amaze you.

And that pug went on to kill 3 Sardukar in single combat. And that is the rest of the story.

I still contend that pug would have ended up the most important character in the series if sequels had happened.
