Isn't conan asian? Shouldn't he be an asian dwarf that relies on his horse to shoot arrows like a pussy, instead of a white gigachad with a sword?

Conan is Nordic, his fictional country of Cimmeria is basically the Viking nationa of Denmark of Scandanavia. He's tanned and swarthy looking because he has spent so much time in the middle east

REH's Cimmerians are supposed to be proto-Celts. The names Conan and Crom are of Celtic origin. They largely described as having black hair. The Nordheimir are the Hyborian equivalent of the Nords, and they regularly fight the Cimmerians. From The Hyborian Age:

>They came into these countries as Aryans. But there were variations among these primitive Aryans, some of which are still recognized today, others which have long been forgotten. The blond Achaians, Gauls and Britons, for instance, were descendants of pure-blooded Æsir. The Nemedians of Irish legendry were the Nemedian Æsir. The Danes were descendants of pure-blooded Vanir; the Goths—ancestors of the other Scandinavian and Germanic tribes, including the Anglo-Saxons—were descendants of a mixed race whose elements contained Vanir, Æsir and Cimmerian strains. The Gaels, ancestors of the Irish and Highland Scotch, descended from pure-blooded Cimmerian clans. The Cymric tribes of Britain were a mixed Nordic-Cimmerian race which preceded the purely Nordic Britons into the isles, and thus gave rise to a legend of Gaelic priority. The Cimbri who fought Rome were of the same blood, as well as the Gimmerai of the Assyrians and Grecians, and Gomer of the Hebrews. Other clans of the Cimmerians adventured east of the drying inland sea, and a few centuries later mixed with Hyrkanian blood, returned westward as Scythians. The original ancestors of the Gaels gave their name to modern Crimea.

Samurai Jack was extremely Conan coded, the opening narration with Aku is a straight homage to the Schwarzenegger film, which also had Mako narrating.

Will there be rape?

Conan isn't based on Atilla, blud (admittedly a cool guy in his own right).
This anon is 100% correct - >>221360346

I retract my statement. But if they ever do a Genghis Khan movie they should show that they were short pussies on short horses fighting like cowards only with bows. Only Europeans fight bravely.

They say it's going to be an adaptation of Queen of the Black Coast. I would reaaaaallly hope for a faithful adaptation, but for sure there's a bunch of elements in there too brutal for modern TV:
>The titular queen is an absolutely ruthless pirate, which makes a living by raiding and massacring villages on the coast of /not/Africa.
>She captures Conan after killing every single other member of the crew on the ship he's in
>After witnessing all of that, she asks him to join her and he straight goes "fuck yeah"
>She is white, with an entire crew of black men who are entranced by her beauty but worship her like a goddess. The minute Conan steps in, in front of the entire crew she invites him for sex. Conan is even surprised by how he doesn't spot any signs of envy in their eyes.
I don't know how they can get around that.
Beautiful pirate queen; ruling over a crew of black pirates; who madly falls in love with Conan; all of these elements are pretty central to the story, but there's no combination of these which doesn't create a picture which modern Hollywood couldn't bear.

Conan was never the psychotic amoral bronze age rapist that normies think he is, the entire point of the character in the original stories was that he wasn't subhuman or stupid for being a "barbarian" he just had a different philosophy on life. He was intelligent, learned, and surprisingly sophisticated in some ways, he just didn't put on a fake persona for everyone the way "civilized" people do. The pop culture idea of Conan as some hulking retard brute forcing his way through life really annoys me, and the idiots who took over writing his stories after Howard died only reinforce it. Only the original Howard stories are really worth reading.

The only time I recall him really acting rapey in the original stories was in the Frost Giant's Daughter, but that situation was a supernatural being using magic to seduce people so her brothers could kill them, and frankly if Conan had caught her she would have deserved what she got. I also remember him owning and fucking a slave girl in that story about that city full of astral projecting weirdos but she was clearly into it and in love with him.

He's never shown raping (feels like he gets his dick wet easily and often enough that he's never in need of doing it by force) but he certainly is amoral. At least to an extent. See >>221362088
IIRC, Howard himself defined him as "threading the line between good and evil".
>>
>>221362159
He's sophisticated/intelligent but can definitely bring out a more barbaric side and that's kind of the appeal. He's an exagerrated action hero in the style of Rambo/Commando long before those were made.

Little hope it will be good.
