    Outstanding performance. I’d listened to another audio version of this story before and found it just so-so, but your version really brought the characters to life and put the story on another level. I especially enjoyed the absolutely savage struggle between Conan and Thogg. Your Conan really comes across as someone who could contend with and even kill a monstrous demon-god.

    I think it's vitally important to realize that hypocrisy makes people who claim to be for a more inclusive soci9ety into hate filled bags of puss that are doing more harm to their stated goal than anything. No one ever said it couldn't or shouldn't be better. But you can't have hypocrites in charge of it. As they usually create the hate they seek to fight.

    Is Conan a violent, kinda sexist guy? Yes. Is he also a really good person? YES! I'll die on that hill. There are so many small (and big) actions that show his loyalty and courtesy, even to people he barely knows

    • @TheCybrarian
      @TheCybrarian  2 месяца назад +1

      absolutely, we'd even argue that he isn't even sexist as he does not look down on women but instead dislikes civilisation and what it does to people, making women less than what they could be, which is why he loves characters like Belit in Queen of the Black Coast because they are more like the warrior women of barbaric Cimmeria

    • @BaldingClamydia
      @BaldingClamydia 2 месяца назад +1

      @TheCybrarian That is a very fair point! He is still a bit handsy without permission, and is likely to call a woman by her job title, though (wh*re). Otherwise I would fully agree xD

    I would give anything to see a faithful adaption of Conan made into an HBO anthology series. Every episode a new adventure. All the awesome fight scenes and beautiful women.
    Too bad it could never be done in modern hollywood. Theyd have Donald Glover playing Conan and have him sleeping with trans women and other men. And have him constantly be shown up in strength and cunning by his female side characters. smh Arnold's one conan movie (just the one) was the only good conan adaption ever and will likely continue to be the only one forevermore.

      Yep. Its a shame too since Henry Cavill was such a huge fan (i thought he was great as Geralt). Now he's being spurned in hollywood and articles have come out calling him sexist and toxic because he dared to question the direction Lauren Hissrich wanted to take the show and asked if they could remain a little more accurate to the source material. Of course they didnt, Cavill was mostly ignored, and the show's viewership plummeted, and now Cavill didnt renew his contract so theres no more reason to watch it.
