Amazon was set to make a kino Conan the Barbarian series but #metoo fricked up everything and they brought in some c*nt who hated "toxic masculinity" as the new head of Amazon Prime so they did that awful wheel of time show instead

The entire point of Conan the Barbarian is toxic masculinity. That's why it's awesome. And why did it need a remake? The original Conan was perfect. The original Predator was perfect. The original Commando was perfect. Arnold did exactly what was required of him. He always did.

@DaddyReagan thought the point was racism and hatred of magic. Hearing the phrase "hyperborean" used by non nazis was jarring, but hearing him say he would never leave a white woman too be ravaged by darkies was the best.

It's odd. They will still make men's stuff, even fairly right wing stuff like The Terminal List, but all of the new Sci-Fi and Fantasy is aimed squarely at women.
I'm really interested to see how Henry Cavill's Warhammer production turns out.

everything by not being like every other real artist

The most r-slurred part of this is that a good Conan adaptation, while impossible to make "PC", needn't be comically "masculine" in the manner of Schwarzenegger's depiction. Just adapt a Robert E. Howard story directly.

Gor is something else.
The Frost Giant's Daughter is a bit of an outlier since it's an almost direct adaptation of an Ancient Greek myth. In all the other stories there's tough girl boss characters and Conan never hurts a woman (there are female villains but they either get killed by the girlboss or dispatched by a third party, in some increasingly strained ways).

There's a compilation of the original Conan short stories available on audible. It's jarring too hear the term hyperborean used so much unironically, but it's an interesting peak into early fantasy/cosmic horror works.

But if it's a dextrous man with keen perception committing r*pe and not a musclebound hunk in a loincloth doing it, it's not toxic masculinity, it's just un-PC.

If you think Rob Howard wasn't too toxically masculine for Amazon Prime you've either never read Howard or you don't know anything about the kind of people who call things "toxically masculine".

It's not PC but it's not Schwarzenegger either, and to the mongs who complain about toxic masculinity, looking like 80's Conan is all that is.
Doesn't look like Arnold in a loincloth? It's not toxic masculinity.

Right in the article it says that after they bought Wheel of Time they thought THAT was still too toxically masculine and had to neuter the property even further.
There's no way anything as manly and adventurous as Howard's Conan would ever be allowed, unless you turned Conan into the cuck sidekick to Red Sonja or some godawful shit like that.

They'd do a He-Man / Scott Pilgrim and kill off Conan in a show called Conan so it was all about Red Sonja.

No, her coming in saved it. Look at practically any adaptation in the past decade, they're all wokeshit garbage. The originals have been saved and their kino left undiminished because of the fact that they havent been remade into total garbage.
