the ages in dune are all fucked. they’re fucked. “the spice extends life” prove it. the books don’t even touch on this until what, miles teg? Stilgar should be like 200 years old. the baron is a spry octogenarian why tf is he grooming an heir. how is 15 the age of majority.
“the spice extends life” who cares. y’all just get die early of poisoning anyway.
think how funny it would be and how much pathos it would add to the kanly if the baron were like 300 years old and had killed like nine generations of Atreides except for the one that got got by a bull. like whack-a-mole. and this is normal.
