I recently heard Netflix is doing a Conan the Barbarian show. Now since Netflix is Netflix I know that they won’t respect the source material and I’m honestly surprised they would have a show with a masculine male lead. So how do you think they will ruin it?
Also, if they include Red Sonja she probably won’t be the Red Sonja from the books and comic books of decades past.
Eliot Page will be the male lead.
I just seen a thread on this on the Trailer Park Boys sub. Nearly every single comment is calling her a he already.
This was one of the comments
Now I’m sorry if I’m being a bit harsh here. But trans lives are quite literally at stake. You NEED to listen to them. We all need to be so much better.
No lives matter
Hah, I love her Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliot_Page
They're trying so hard with all the he/hims .... and then there are all the pictures.
Gonna be pozzed as fuck, expect Conan to be showed up by a woman or a brown person in every episode, if they even make him white in the first place that is.
These faggots perceive Robert E Howard as a Lovecraft style racist, so there’s probably gonna be a lot of deconstruction and meta shit.
What I don’t get is why these SJWs can’t shut up about lovecraft. Sure he was racist but is long dead now. They talk about him yet use his ideas to make money.
And don’t you dare say “well if dead white men are so evil why don’t you make your own stories?”
That's why. It's because they know, despite him being an evil bigot and them being a virtuous being, it's not their stories or ideas that are going to be republished and referenced for decades and centuries to come. If they can't remove it from culture, then the least they can do is permanently stain the man's name so that if you know just one thing about Lovecraft, it's that he was a horrible racist. It's how you get shows like Lovecraft Country, where the true horror isn't the unfathomable goals of beings so beyond our comprehension we might as well be bacteria compared to them, it's racism.
I didn’t even bother with Lovecraft Country. I heard Jordan “everything is racist” Peele was involved and lost interest. HBO used to have awesome shows.
I just figured they were just doing what they naturally do: subverting.
They'll be of african or arab ancestry, and Red Sonja will wear red facepaint. If it's only Conan, he will be competent. If they include Red facepaint Sonja, he will be incompetent.
His strength is somehow going to come from a woman. Either his mom will be some badass or there will be an old lady to humorously teach the bumbling young Conan how to be a good person Edit: it would be the memories of them and what they taught him that would let him survive the wheel of pain. That or there will be a female character that also survives the wheel of pain and becomes strong like him. Stronger, even.
In all sincerity, gay dudes and a sassy/smarter-than-the-mc female
Conan will be a fat, bumbling, incel who keeps trying to impress women to sleep with him with violence, but in the end has to be repeatedly saved by those same women, which makes him hate and resent him.
He'll be a skinny soy-boy pakistani.
Doesn't matter to me. I unsubbed from Netflix nearly a year ago.
I did a few months ago. But I was surprised that they decided to do Conan
