Did Arnold as Conan cause this need to make them all look like roided up body builders? When most people would be starving they eating all day and lifting rocks to get them gains?

you want another 5'5 120 pound girlboss throwing 240pound stuntmen around because "her brothers taught her how to fight?"

a woman who swings a sword for a living should be bulky and physical, otherwise it just looks goofy.
it doesnt matter if this physique is realistic, its a fantasy genre after all, so you might as well go full amazonian
>>
>>223945780
Don't. Let it stay dead. It's a dumb genre for retard boomers who are insecure about their masculinity

Dont they make Golden Axe movie atm?

Separate it from gay nufantasy
>>
>>223945819

The left side pic of her waist is too wide. The right side pic looks pretty good

Go back in time and buy a fucking ticket for pic related

No, this was the gay nufantasy in question >>223947096

>>223947123
Sorry bud its not 1985, youre gonna have to encounter human beings that dont have white skin color
>>
>>223947148
It's more than that and you know it. The white protagonist was useless and emasculated, everyone else handled fighting for him especially the fat mexican barbarian girl. It's so bad that he didn't even know spellcasting despite 5e Bards having 9th level spells. Pure garbage.

Love my sexy female warriors

awful, don't fucking post that shit ever again

read the original Robert Howard Conan stories recently and holy shit we got robbed. don't get me wrong i like the Arnie movies, but the source material is like pure hardboiled pulp that somehow touches on something deeply existential. Howard was pen pals with Lovecraft, there's heavy, mythic weight of dying empires and cosmic melancholy, and Conan is as a raw spark of vitality in an indifferent universe

step one to reviving it: drop every preconceived notion about the S&S genre made past the 1960s.
>>
>>223945780
The Frazetta people need to give the rights to a good director that can make a awesome Death Dealer movie
>>
>>223945819
nah, if you put a male face on it you'd be like "Man, that dude's got great tits and a killer ass!". Not in a gay way, you just would.
>>
>>223947410
Good thing she is more fit like a gymnast, hardly muscular
>>
>>223947386
The issue with Sword and Sorcery is that it really thrives as short stories and novellas more than anything. You really need to be punchy and make every page and encounter feel like it's taking you somewhere and be okay with not explaining everything on the way to the conclusion. It's art.

You need someone who is rich and cares about the genre to fund it, because otherwise you're getting 2026 sanitized sword&sorcery

Let it rot in hell.

You would need to cast people that basically don't exist anymore

To make a show that appeals to an audience that also doesn't exist

You can't, at least not the way it was before the infection. It's something "outdated" for the modern cinema/tv industry and the genre has already been completely contaminated in other areas, such as books, video games, or comics.
>>
>>223945780
just adapt faithfully the 4 S&S kinos of picrel: make it either grimdark, cosmic, mystical, decadent, violent, excessive and primitive
>>
>>223947873
The audience does exist though, at least as much as it did in the 80s or earlier. The market might not exist today, there was a much straighter shot to getting a s&s film done before the modern media environment. They were getting some $$$ from appealing to the 'see boobs' audience, and to the 'esoteric sci-fi/fantasy fiction' audience, but these folks get all they want from the internet now. That gave them enough funding to justify making a whole film.

Today the creator would need to appeal to the 'hey remember the 80s lol' attitude to get a whole film made, and it would be tough for them to sneak a whole s&s film past the producers while they want to make a modern audience film with s&s trappings.

We could still get some kind of lower budget thing, maybe AI will legit make it possible to get the necessary visuals on a very low budget production.

All actresses have to be completely unshaved everywhere and realistically hairy (don't hire ones that lasered or waxed anything in the past). That's about it. And hire varying body types from fit to fat and saggy so everyone has something depending on tastes.

No thanks

Conan wasn’t some roided out Hulk. Only comic book adaptions did that but they did they to everyone
>>
Lol, I don't even think modern people actually are able to understand the cutting vigor and the spirit that REH's Conan possesses, much less be on board with stories with that sort of grit.
>>
>>223945780
Why would anyone care about sword and sorcery movies when there's a million games they could play that would give them hundreds of hours of enjoyment each
>>
>>223948025
>Original movies were cheesy and full of full frontal tits of the best degree
>new movie just sterile low budget fantasy romp
It was okay but it lost its sense of fun

>>223945780
by reviving roger corman and hiring boris vallejo again for the art, we need a REAL deathstalker kino back (the new one was ok i guess, serviciable to pass some time)

Western game studios are going out of business left and right. The audience is shrinking as the industry transitions to become women's entertainment. It's not the early 2000s anymore

i enjoyed it, but it wasn't sword and sorcery, it was millennial insincerity

>to an audience that also doesn't exist
you say this in these threads all the time despite being consistently proven wrong

>>223948025
it missed the entire appeal of the genre

Reinstall Skyrim and download 1500 mods.
