Hmm. It's more explicit in the later books but the violence seems to me to undercut Paul Atreides as a hero (in one of the sequels he himself speaks of Hitler as one of his precursors from ancient human history).

The same people who like Rorschach like V, even if they’re labelled “Villain” right up front…

Yeah...see, blaming readers who notice that the characters are enthusiastically glamorized by the narrative seems wrong to me. V's a good example of how an all powerful character can't actually be effectively morally condemned in the narrative.

And there’s Heinlein’s fishy approach to authority too… He’s fascinated by the fascism as much as he critiques form his own form of libertarianism, and the omnipotent Mighty Whitey is certainly there in his work. “Might” is what gets to his sense of freedom, & that’s not ok.
