Apparently the Red Sonja actress crapped on the source material and said it would be very female empowered and then said something about the “male gaze”.
I love 70s through 90s Conan comics and would sometimes buy Red Sonja along with them. Also there are some great books as well as the original Robert E Howard Conan (which I read a few months ago). Goes without saying that the audience for Red Sonja is male and in the lore (not sure if they have changed it or not) she said she would share her bed with the man who can beat her in a fight. So I’d personally end the movie where she meets the man who defeats her.
Honestly a Conan or Red Sonja series with violence and sexy women would do great. Which is why they would rather give us butchered Wheel of Time or Rings of Power
Yeah, because women can't leave well enough alone, everything must be about them and their pet projects.
Instead of doing things because of the male gaze, they do things for the male gays.
