Users cannot add just anything, even to the 'Fun Stuff'. It gets vetted by professionals. But just in case, I have added IMDb Pro. -- GwydionM ( talk) 18:57, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

Austin Butler Dune Part 2 - Feyd-Rautha - Wikipedia Vwqvj qwhiu ( talk) 23:52, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
I think the description of Feyd Rautha being as cunning as his uncle (the Baron) is incorrect, and an extension of the lamentably widespread desire to remake his character. Note how all the actors hired to play him do not resemble his description of being "round faced with sullen eyes". That better describes James Cordon than those who have played the role: Sting, Matt Keeslar, and now Austin Butler, who all have rock star pretty boy looks. Recall how Jadarowsky wanted Mick Jagger to play the part; at least Mick has the "pouting lips" that the Baron considered to be a genetic marker of House Harkonnen.
Feyd is never referred to as pretty, though he is lean and athletic. But the greater problem here is that although he is indeed a skillful killer, nobody ever described him as particularly smart. Smarter than Beast Rabban (his older brother) to be sure, but Rabban is a thug with a room-temperature IQ. All the cleverness that Feyd displays is the influence of Thufir Hawat, who after his capture by the Harkonnens subtly plays Feyd against the Baron, going so far as to engineer a nearly successful assassination attempt.
All of this burnishing of Feyd's character is a transparent attempt to upgrade him into an opponent of Paul. This is in no way supported by the source material. The two never even meet until minutes before Paul slays him at the end of the book. Yes, the Baron intended to put Feyd on the throne as puppet Emperor, but that was the Baron's plan, not Feyd's. We would be doing the world a favor by ending this Feyd-worship here on Wikipedia, possibly even documenting the unfortunate trend. GuyGadois ( talk) 22:03, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
the following section doesn't flow particularly well, it doesn't make sense to mention how the character was cast after the movie was made:
'The character appeared in the 2024 sequel film Dune: Part Two, and in March 2022, Austin Butler entered negotiations to join the cast as Feyd. Butler's role was confirmed in May 2022.
the it makes more sense to flip the wording as follows:
'In March 2022, Austin Butler entered negotiations to join the cast as Feyd. Butler's role was confirmed in May 2022 and the character appeared in the 2024 sequel film Dune: Part Two.'

If the name Harkonnen is of Finnish origin, might the word "Rautha" also be related to the Finnish rauta, meaning "iron"? 98.123.38.211 ( talk) 00:09, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
Shouldn’t this article be titled “Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen”? He is named as such in the original novel, and the article titles for the other characters use their full names (e.g. Paul Atreides, Vladimir Harkonnen) unless they were not stated in the novel (e.g. Lady Jessica). 138.51.68.164 ( talk) 23:48, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
The Wikipedia page doesn’t mention Feyd-Rautha- how does this game relate? ELSchissel ( talk) 04:03, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
