>here's that rugged, not malnourished, clean shaven, well groomed outcast from civilisation I was talking about

>>211540128 (OP)
Was that supposed to be funny?

But Conan was well-groomed and well nourished

>>211540128 (OP)
you really tried and failed just like you always do with everything huh

>>211540128 (OP)
>outcast from civilisation

Conan wasn't an "outcast", he was a Cimmerian barbarian from the fringes of civilization.

The whole point of Conan is "Cityfolk are full of shit".

Fantasy analog for China.

It's a shame Hollywood didn't make a. multi-season Conan tv series that stuck close to the books, they had the perfect actor to play the role.

>>211540644
Amazon planned to do it then it got camcelled and wheel of time green lit instead

Is what it is. Books are still good

>>211540700
Some foid producer thought that Conan was toxic masculinity even through Robert E. Howard was proto-femninst that had a great relationship with his Mother.

It was the 80s and they were jibbery jabber americans so I can cut them some slack.

>>211540644
Momoa was a charisma black hole as Conan.

>>211541229
Yeah he kinda sucked but he moved like Conan.

>>211540128 (OP)
No he was well fed and well kept. He was valuable as a slave and a fighter they wanted him strong and healthy. Then he became free and kept it going. I think you are trying to be funny but judging by your green texting you need to go back to pol

people ITT don't even know that OP is Thulsa Doom. he's posting from the afterlife right now.

>>211541312
May he be hounded by Crom's Devils!

>>211540128 (OP)
Conan is the described as big, tall, muscular, bronze-tanned, clean-shaven with blue eyes and black hair in the books. Arnold had the wrong hair colour and his chest wasn't hairy, but beyond that he's what Howard described.

>>211540644
Momoa just looks wrong, and I think it's the eyes. They're too dark and looks like he's wearing mascara. Plus having an angry glare all the time. Arnold doesn't have that crap. He looks effortlessly confident, strong, powerful, and ready for anything

>>211540128 (OP)
Barbarians and sword-swinging cunts are no match for a good spell and sorcery.

Magic/Brains >>>>>> Brawn, everytime.

>>211541451
>Arnold doesn't have that crap. He looks effortlessly confident, strong, powerful, and ready for anything
No, he just looks retarded. Momoa wasn't perfect, but he was a much better fit. He had the gleam in his eye. Ahnuld just looks like Ahnuld.

>>211541555
Momoa looks like a goofy larper next to Arnold.

>>211541526
Wow that's a cool collection of candles made from women's fat you got there.

>>211541526

>>211540924
A little too great sadly.

>>211541809
Tell your Mom you Love her.

>>211540377
>Iranistan
I love Conan, but that always cracks me up.

>>211541647
Right looks like one of the dozens of nameless mooks that Conan would easily dispatch

>>211541899
What's so funny? Iranistan just means "land of the aryans".

>>211540644
Momoa sucks and isn't perfect for anything

>>211541950
Oh really? That's interesting, I hadn't known that. I had jus thought that "Iranistan" sounded like a mishmash of two Middle-Eastern country names. Thanks for the clarification, that's actually pretty clever.

>>211542296
Your welcome, bro. "Stan" just means "land" in Persian, and "Iran" comes from "Ariya". That's why all these middle-eastern countries end in -stan.

>>211542296
When the Conan stories were written Iran was still called Persia, so "Iranistan" would have been more clever back then.

>>211542749
Eranshahr is an ancient name for the place, and Eran describing the people of the place is possbly much older.

Fuck you anon, Conan is Kino.

>>211543129
I know Howard used ancient place names, Turan, Cimmeria, Ophir and Kush are all also ancient place names. Iranistan is kind of a paradox because, when he used it, it was an ancient place name but now it's also a modern place name.

>>211540478
They eat cats and dogs.

>>211541526
Conan rapes wizard nerds all the time. He sometimes has to use his superior intelligence to counter their wicked magics, but he still wins in the end.

>>211540377
>Lol Mountains

>>211541647
goddamn arnold they both look ripped but yeah no real comparison

Reminder that a dumb Nemedian caused the downfall of Aquilonia by accident and not design

>>211541647

I passed on the Momoa movie for years because there was just no way it could be more iconic and memorable than Arnold´s (and because i kept hopping Arnold to play old king Conan) and i was right.

That said, since movies like it are no longer being made (zoomer fantasy movies are just too childish, cringe and full of puns) i finally gave in and gave Momoa´s movie a shot the other day. When not compared to Arnold´s it is actually quite decent, pretty good even.

>>211541526
Counterpoint: even more strength than you previously anticipated

>>211542296
Cut the 80s jibbery jabber americans some slack

>>211544670
Arnold was a genetic freak even without the roids. it's not easy to live up to that.

>>211541647
Momoa should have worked on those lats more

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4smBOiJ78I

>>211548534
He's a 7-time Mr Olympia. His genetics are one in a billion. His natty mexican bastard looks better than Momoa's Conan.

>>211540377
Favorite conan book? I like queen of the black coast and red nails.

>>211541767
I read that comic, guess who survived at the end.

I scored about a dozen collections of the Marvel Comics Conan stories from the 1970s for $1 each. They're fun reads.

>Reading hour of the dragon for the first time in a decade
Interested to see how its changed for me since then. Was first Conan story I ever read. Have read the rest since then.

Shame we will never get a king Conan movie. Milius' script for it was pretty good

>>211553532
For me has a rough beguinning and end but a pretty good middle.

>>211540128 (OP)
>there will never be an actor that looks like this again
you hate to see it

>>211541526

>>211553753
The script or hour of the dragon?

>>211540128 (OP)
He was a well-groomed (literally) gladiator slave then a successful thief adventurer

>>211553953
Hour of the dragon, maybe is just me, I wans't that interested in grand scale army fights and I thought how Conan scaped was kind of a copout, the rest of the story is great but it ends with anothe big army fight.

I want there to be lonely warrior kino again

>>211541526
I present a counter-argument.

Sometimes Japan, depending on whether the Shogun wrote the story

Why shouldn't he be clean shaven? You think he couldn't get a blade and some soap?

how was conan live action tv series? my dad mentions that from time to time about how he liked it

>>211540478
Weird guys with staff that kill you by just touching them and a sense of honor.

>>211541647
is the momoa movie any good or just average/mediocre?

>>211541526
Depends on the writer, Clark Ashton Smith would generally agree with you, but REH was always a Brawn/cunning guy, so all his protagonists would beat wizards, even the modern academic characters he made like John Kirowan and John Conrad who manage to outsmart or outplay the magic users they encountered in short story like the haunter of the Ring

all barbarian fetishism is thinly veiled homoeroticism. in the hands of americans it becomes particularly comical

>>211555267
No. It's about returning to monke. Why do you fags think everything is about you and your rotting poop dicks?

>>211553532
Not a big fan of Hour of the dragon. For me it feels like compilation of every short story in one storyline instead of good intrigue. Howard is better with short stories. The vampire mommy in the pyramid is pure sex tho

>>211555492
Vampire mommy? I thought it was a vampire loli. They call her a girl

>>211555210
It seemed to constantly be missing the mark.

>>211555492
>eels like compilation of every short story in one storyline
that's because it kinda is
it was meant to sold in the UK market were Pulp short stories did badly so REH just mashed a bunch of his Short stories together for a paycheck

>>211553276
for me it's tower of the elephant

>>211553276
Those are the best two, but I also really like Rogues in the House. I'm sure you know why. The Hour of the Dragon is also really great.

>>211555492
The Scarlet citadel feels like a more concise version of this story. I do like hour of the dragon, it feels like a grand adventure across hyborea.

He looked like had pretty bad dandruff at the start

>>211553276
>>211555717
Red Nails is good but a little scattered about, if you have Conan fight a dinosaur I think it should be the grand finale, not the middle.

I like people of the black circle for some good wizard vs warrior action.

>>211555603
She was ? I didn’t read it in english so perhaps it was lost in translation
>>211555634
Yeah it felt like that. It’s a mix of everything Conan (killing mages, piracy, escaping dungeons, being king) but it doesn’t have a well thought out storyline
>>211555773
Yeah the novel was a lot like the Scarlet Citadel. I liked the idea of an epic accross all of Hyperboria, it’s just that the execution wasn’t exactly great. Howard is genius when it comes to writing short stories but he’s not a great novelist. It was his first novel after all, had he live longer, maybe he would have become better at it

>>211555147
It's decent. Way better than momoa's Conan movie

>>211556213
People of the black circle is kino. I love that Conan is some kind of bronze age taliban in there

>>211540644
Momoa is a charisma sink.

>>211555267

being naked and killing evils with a sword are basic male needs if you're not a tranny

>>211540644
Remember the 90s series where he travelled around with a midge, a black guy, a mute, and a chick with a lazy eye?

>>211555267
To the fags it is yes.
But it's more narcissim and wishfulfillment then anything.

If we got rid of the homosexuals who control the glamour industry..sorry hollywood then we would see a strict removal of and awareness of the homosexual iconography and ideals that infect the project.

PS. Conan is homoerotic...but actual homosexuals in media is normal and dislike of it is a tacit admisison of homosexuality.

You "people" have a answer for everythign don't you?

>>211556627
>le bronze age
Afghulis are kiplingesque Afghans just without firearms
How are they "bronze age" in any way?

>>211559520
NTA, but he's right. Every praise of masculinity is intrinsically homosexual and latently gay. The fact you refuse to admit it only makes the argument stronger and more obvious. All societies, cultures and people that praise masculinity, the warrior and so on inevitably default to male on male anal. Even if their religion prohibits it (those are in fact the gayest of them all) like the muslims or Americans.

>>211555717
Rogues in the house is dope
Has the classic baboon villain that Howard put in half his stories lol
