Where I live there is a used book store (Half Price Books for those in Texas) close to the comic book store and I found all the Conan the Barbarian stories by the original creator in an anthology for about 5 bucks. Then at the comic book store I found a bunch of the marvel Conan comic books from 70s - 90s in the dollar bin. I spent about 40 bucks.
I feel like they could do an awesome adaptation of Conan today if they cared about good stories. An animated version too. I remember Nerdrotic saying that a few years ago amazon was considering an adaptation but one of the higher ups nixed it due to “toxic masculinity”.
Since I’ve given up on most entertainment today until the woke era ends (with few exceptions) I’m finding so much stuff that I couldn’t finish in my lifetime. I still have Babylon 5 to get through and tons of old British stuff.
I remember in a comments section a feminist was complaining about Red Sonja being sexist and “male gaze”. Someone asked her if she is equally offended by how little Conan wears. She had no comment
Geez. You can make shows for both men and women. Not sure why they don’t get that. Some things appeal to guys more and some things appeal to women more.
You actually can't make shows that appeal to non-feminists because those shows will instantly destroy feminists shows in the ratings, and then no one will make feminist shows. It's a bit like how capitalism existing anywhere disrupts communism everywhere.
They make shows that appeal to nobody . Even the SJWs that screech for more social justice politics in media, don't watch or read these things. If they actually wanted to make shows that appeal to women, literally look at what actually gets popular with women. Things like Twilight or 50 shades of Grey. Basically romance dramas with hot , strong but troubled men. Not ultra feminist stories with terrible writing.
