the Jason Momoa one from 2011 was so disappointing

i read a Conan book and he climbed into a window and found a princess who got all scared, so he quickly had sex with her and she went to sleep before alerting the guards, and he continued on his way

thats the poo poo i'm into with Conan

conan is different in the books than in the arnie movie. he's like, a smirky rear end in a top hat who brags how he'll gently caress up anyone, and then he does because he can. He thinks everyone from the city is a little weak bitch compared to him and he'll climb any wall and fight any fool.

It'd be really hard to play a Conan reboot straight. It's been a long time since there was an actual Conan thing and even longer since it made any waves but he's still the most parodied and generic fantasy guy of them all.

You could make a really hammy comedy, or you could try and undermine the whole concept, and maybe you'd make something that people would care about. But I'm pretty sure the people who actually want a Conan reboot would get mad at that (all four of them).

What I'm saying is we need a Cohen the Barbarian movie instead. With Sean Connery.

Conan: You killed my mother! You killed my father, you killed my people! You took my father's sword... ah -
[Rexor twists his arm]
Thulsa Doom: Ah. It must have been when I was younger. There was a time, boy, when I searched for steel, when steel meant more to me than gold or jewels.
Conan: The riddle... of steel.
Thulsa Doom: Yes! You know what it is, don't you boy? Shall I tell you? It's the least I can do. Steel isn't strong, boy, flesh is stronger! Look around you. There, on the rocks; a beautiful girl. Come to me, my child...
[coaxes the girl to jump to her death]
Thulsa Doom: That is strength, boy! That is power! What is steel compared to the hand that wields it? Look at the strength in your body, the desire in your heart, I gave you this! Such a waste. Contemplate this on the tree of woe. Crucify him!

The last Conan movie started out in a way that made me really wish they'd say gently caress it and just do a Kratos movie instead. I just want to watch an hour and a half of a guy being a total rear end in a top hat and killing people in increasingly hilarious and insane ways. And monsters, giant ones.

It's a doomed prospect though. They couldn't even get Conan right in the 80s after the first one.

1982 Conan is perfect, all attempts at a reboot will end in deserved failure.

I never read read the books. After Lovecraft I figured I'd read enough pulp-era racist fiction.

An Elric movie would be loving epic!

For Conan, I don't see why they couldn't go back to one of the earlier stories like The Scarlet Citadel or The Hour of the Dragon as a full length movie.
