I still think they should have cast Matt Le Blanc as Paul Atreides so they could get the line "How you Dune?" Into the script and that they didn't is a wasted opportunity -

Yes I see it. I think at the time I had a "oh no. This is too much" reaction. Which is fine and good. And I don't think wanting to stop is a bad thing but fwiw in this case I'm glad to have continued.
Incidentally I'm really enjoying the discussion around reading, violence and what is too much Vs what works for the story. Very interesting -

The death you're talking about does wreck everyone connected to it. I viewed it as a Hetan in Malazan level thing where the brutality of it was the point that separated a resolution of possible reconciliation from the resolution of this ends with one side living.
Yes, I've been comparing it to that scene in my head and for some reason I never had quite the same kind of visceral reaction with that scene (disturbing and horrifying though it clearly is). I think that a) I was a lot more connected and involved with DoD than I have been with this second trilogy and b ) my own personal circumstances. I have babies. My life revolves around them right now and I think it got to me. Also there's the horrible violence I see IRL which is making me lean more towards slightly less horrific books (loving Wayfarers for that exact reason) at the moment. I dunno. I've moved on anyway and I'm glad I did cos I'm massively digging what Lyria is doing as a result of said scene.
