A summarization of the Dune series would be a novella by itself.

    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.

    I'll just watch the movies, thank 💪

    The six hours you've watched so far is just an abridged version of the first book.

    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.

    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.
