@cwebber most of these are right but Paul is not a savior to the fremen, he is presented as a ruinous manipulator. This is often cited as a defense of the novel but it’s not a good one, because he’s still presented as tragically noble and obviously his perspective is centered and his superiority to the indigenous people is assumed, so it has a lot in common with white savior narratives. But “savior” does miss the mark.
