I find the mythology of Conan to be quite interesting. Surely there must be more like me that feel the same way. As far as not being relevant , neither was Iron Man, Thor , or Wonder Woman, but yet they were great films. I understand your very biased opinion , just don't believe you are correct in assuming that a Conan film would fail. nepatkm and ComicConnoisseur 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM8 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 If they restart the series I hope they begin at issue #276. I know they won't but can't blame a guy for dreamin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are some of the best know superheroes. As I stated before, Conan was selling about 2k a month at Dark Horse. Did any of those comics get below, let's say, 50k?

Iron Man was a 3rd tier character before the first Iron Man movie came out, now he's an A lister. Now Wonder Woman is having a bit of an upswing in popularity due to her new movie role. All I'm saying is a good story is a good story, and Conan has one of the best origins in comics. Conan may not be relevant to you, but there are many who feel he is relevant, including me.

I agree I could see Conan being big again like Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings if a movie/tv show by Marvel is done right.

What have any people under 35 been old enough to enjoy from Conan? I'm 36 and never seen a Conan film, but would perhaps enjoy a new version or at least would be open to it. Could you make the argument that Heman would be a better choice? or are you saying that the idea of a Barbarian type has been done to death? there's been nothing I've seen. I'm not saying your wrong, cause who knows, right? but to say the "idea" of barbarians being only a quality period of the 80's seems short sighted....

I agree Conan was rated R if I remember correctly, and someone who is 35 would have had the last 17 years to enjoy a Conan film. I don't remember anything being even offered...

Some could have said that about Sherlock Holmes a few years ago,but he is more popular than ever now. It is all about presenting it and marketing it right. Disney is the king of marketing. I wouldn't bet against Conan if Marvel/Disney is behind it. They must have a long-term plan for Conan or they wouldn't have taken the ip from Dark Horse.

ADAMANTIUM Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Well there was evidently a Jason Momoa Conan in 2011 that I didn't here anything about I believe Disney/Marvel could pull it out of the hat, but it's definitely too soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm making a logical assessment as to the viability of a Conan movie. Can't see the forest through the trees? So your view is correct but mine isn't? The age demographic is very important. When Disney does a movie it's high budget. They are not going to make a movie that has a very targeted demographic that would basically lose them money.
