    “Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. No. All that matters is that two stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Crom... so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then the HELL with you!”

    (Akiro comes down the hill with weapons and armor)
    Subotai: "Hey man, where'd you get this stuff?"
    Akiro: "The dead. The Gods are pleased with you. They will watch the battle."
    Conan: "Are they going to help?"
    Akiro: "No."
    Conan: "Well then tell them to stay out of the way!"

    The scene at 2:35 is epic because here’s a dude who has faced adversity all his life with pure muscle and willpower, never with the aid of any magic or gods. But he knows the stakes are so high that he’s willing to discard his secular mindset to appeal to Crom, with the twist that if Crom doesn’t give a damn, he’s gonna do it himself like how he’s always done it. The whole “to hell with you!” phrase is basically saying that he’s accepted his fate regardless of the outcome, and that he’ll fight to the bitter end.

When the appropriate time came, I said "CROM... I have prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it.

    These movies were so cool. I think the world that was built around the narrative helps give the character so much life. He's also very multi-tiered as well, as opposed to just being an action icon. In short, he kicks ass and gets hot ass. Like a man.

    to be a great fight you must have a HIGH tolarnce for pain an EXTREME tolarance for pain. you must learn to set asaide petty comforts and your ego. you must learn to forget all pleasent things and learn to live in discomfort and agony. Crushing your enemy is the only thing that must be on your mind, yourself you must forget. If you die after you kill your foe so what, mission acomplished.
