turn himself into a worm for us all

Muad’dib didn’t turn himself into a worm. Leto II turned himself into a worm.

i said one man.

The meme is about the Messiah of the Fremen. The messiah of the Fremen is Muad'dib. So you could see how saying "One man turns himself into a worm for us all" isn't applicable since the man who turns himself into a worm is the messiah's son.

In the novel "Children of Dune," Paul Atreides, also known as Muad'dib, initially flees from his messianic destiny, overwhelmed by the sacrifices he is compelled to make. However, his son, Leto II Atreides, embraces his role and transforms himself into a messianic figure by becoming a god-like sandworm, ensuring humanity's long-term survival through his reign. Therefore, Leto II emerges as the true messianic figure in preserving humanity's future.
