What was his fucking problem?
maxed out on charisma and narcissism
He was still processing the trauma. He had to watch Atlantis fall and went to a barbarian land and started acting like a barbarian. It was a rational solution to an irrational problem.
>>223945906Thulsa was an atlantean?
>>223945471>lives for thousands of years, amasses enormous cult that'd die for him>brings like 5 guys to try to take out Conan>when they fail, just goes back home and waits for Conan to show up and kill him without putting up a fightOnly explanation for how little he tried is that he was tired of living
>>223945977tbf he probably thought he could control conan in the end, probably never met anyone with a steel (heh) resolve like conan
>>223945977When you view Conan as an early level dnd adventure, it all sorta makes sense. Every character plays an archetype.
>>223945471He was just some pompous pussy with psychic powers but no real balls. Like all cult leaders.
>>223945970He belonged to an ancient, dark skinned, blue eyed race, which is interesting because studies describe ancient European hunter-gatherers may have looked that way
>>223945471Living with terrible bangs
>>223946365bangs were all the rage in snake death cults back then>t.snake death cultist
>>223945970>Thulsa was an atlantean?It's funny. A lot of elements of the movie were actually based on Kull stories. And when Kull the Conqueror was made, it was based on a Conan story. Thulsa Doom was a villain in Robert E. Howard's Kull stories, before he came up with Conan. But even in the Kull stories Atlantis was already destroyed.
He never solved the riddle of steel, said "fuck it" and became a republican.
got too lazy and full of himself.
A deep ass voice.
>>223945970From what I remember from R.E.Howard books Cimmerians are distant descendants of Atlanteans, who briefly deevolved to ape-like state along the way.
Back up, I'm going snake mode...
>>223945471His hairdresser.
>>223946337
>>223946759He knows what it is, boy. He literally explains it to Conan, boy.
>>223945471Erectile Dysfunction... can't fuck, so best to cut off women's heads, or groom them to commit suicide.
>>223946759Least obvious politico shill.
>>223946027My headcanon is that Thulsa's bodyguards were once brave warriors like Conan but they were dominated by Thulsa
>>223946337Yup. Oldest skeleton found in Europe had that phenotype.
>>223945471He should've returned in the sequel as an actual lich
>>223945471having the last name Doom.
