That need to stop sending Sydney Sweeney these shitty scripts she keeps on doing, and have her be in a movie people want to see her in, a scantily clad warrior who must battle through a land of orcs and demons and rape lizards to make it back to her family's village to protect them from a powerful evil warlock.

If a fantasy movie came out today where the women dressed like this would it be successful?
>>
>>217234761
Ran out of ideas and women got too ugly and men too weak for the characters

The fact that Red Sonya (2025) didn't is why no one even remembered that movie came out.

why were boomers like this?

>>217236732
the villain in nu-sonja movie was honestly horrible. if it had jeremy irons hamming it up 110% then it would have been kino
>>
>>217235873
They don't even have to really be dressed like that. The movie just has to be good

There's a new Deathstalker by the guy that made Psycho Goreman, looks pretty fun, haven't seen it yet though
>>
I should draw more sword and sorcery

>>217237063

Holy shit, first time hearing there is a new Red Sonja. Looks uninspiring though.

The greatest movie ever made is Conan the Barbarian so we lost something as a culture when people stopped making copies.

There are dozens of books and hundreds of comics
It's not even a necessity to be all that creative
Just put peter Jackson or Michael Bay or fuck it Joss Whedon on the job and just bring them to life
I personally think it was killed as a genre because it gave us too many heroes and too much spirit, and you know who hates seeing the goyim inspired or believing in the spirit of adventure

Back then, or now?
>>
>>217234761
For a number of reasons:
>Critics are largely beta liberal faggots, who all heavily criticized the movies as "childish wish fullfilment", "misogyny", and "senseless violence"
>The genre was flooded with absolute shit the very year after Conan came out, and unfortunately, a number of those shitty copycats actually ended up being somewhat successful, poisoning the genre
>Said poisoning ruined any good will the genre had initially attained and good films that came out flopped later on
>After Lord of the Rings came out, everyone wanted epic fantasy, furthering reducing the desire for S&S
>in the modern climate, the original gripes critics had with the movies 40 years ago has multiplied ten-fold, meaning that getting an authentic Sword and Sorcery movie that is unabashedly violent, dark, gritty, promotes masculinity, and appeals to male desires, is effectively 0

Recently there's been some decent attempts, within the last 4 or 5 years, mostly on streaming, but they are all very low budget, and barely marketed. Only real hope of a big budget Sword and Sorcery film nowadays is betting on AI to materialize it instead of relying on this generation with these studios.

I literally watched the 1st Sinbad movie from the 50s yesterday
I wanted some Ray Harryhausen kino and while charming - I didn't like it, it's just too ''old''
Hopefully the 70s movies are better, gonna watch them soon

>>217236745
Are you fucking retarded? Look at all the "young adult" movies that were shit out for your generation
>>
>>217238002
never watched it, I see it's Fulci's movie so I'm intrigued
>>
The death of fantasy/Sword and Sorcery is just a shift in audience and creators. Unabashed S&S is kind of seen as corny and juvenile by the non-fantasy crowd. While the fantasy crowd kind of falls into two camps, the Game of Thrones sort where they try to dress it up so they don't have to be embarrassed by it or the nerds who try to turn fantasy into video games where they spend more time arguing over magic systems than the actual story of the book/movie.

>>217237782
It's just a bunch of unrelated clips with narration. Barely a movie.
