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
I have no hopes in modern times. Would be nice to understand from this harpies why the male gaze is so wrong? Why is finding beauty in a woman evil?
I honestly think it’s jealousy. I’m an average looking guy at best. I’ve never whined because some guys are very successful with women. I have no hope either so that’s why I tend to watch stuff before 2014. Those free streaming platforms like Tubi or Pluto have a ton of older content as well as British, Australian, NZ shows from 80s and 90s that I’ve never seen
If anything, it inspires me to get up and at least attempt to improve myself. Even if I never get jacked, I can be better
