    Cybrarian, ive read or listen to all of the Conan stories, but your production has added a new flare and depth to them. Your Conan affect is excellent and how I imagine the Barbarian would speak. Thank you for your efforts.

    Thog sure lays one on Conan. What an epic fight. Has to be one of Conan's hardest fights and fiercest foes. The music, the voicing of the characters and the sound effects. Just fantastic story telling and production.

      yup, he'd be dead if it wasn't for the golden drink that keeps the people of the city from death
      and thog is presumed in other works to be a creature of the cthulhu mythos
      not many tangle with them n get out alive

      There is another Conan novel in which Conan goes "beyond" and faces the god of the Dafari, Yog, I assume. He walks the hall of Crom, and sees the events of his life portrayed in tapestry, assuming he is traveling to Valhalla. Crom in his infinite wisdom, sends Conan back to the realm of the living. For the life of me I can't remember the name of the book. His son Conn is taken captive, leading him into the Dafari lands, and to face Thoth Amon one last time.

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.

    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  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +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 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +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 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.

    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.
