You know what would be cool? If they just adapted Robert E. Howard's original short stories. They'd make great TV episodes, and I'm sure they'd be better than just making a bunch of stories up and setting them in the Conan world.

Someone did a series and it was just what you described.

Just made a show using the Conan character with made up stories. I watched a couple of episodes, being a huge Conan fan, but just couldn’t get interested in it. I think the lead was a tall bodybuilder called Rolf. Don’t remember his last name. Will have to google it. Edit: dandelion, that’s it. Kind of skipped over your post to answer legacy then read yours.

I have been hurt too often and too deeply to hold out hope that anything related to the Conan IP will be faithful to the character and tone of the Howard stories (along with de Camp, and a few other writers who worked hard to keep Conan true to character).

Zen Hydra, I agree. Although Conan exists in a Lovecraft mythos world. They overlap. That might make it fun.

Zen Hydra, I agree. Although Conan exists in a Lovecraft mythos world. They overlap. That might make it fun. I would watch the hell out of series that adapts Lovecraft's original short stories to TV episodes (though obviously you'd need to sanitize the blatant racism present in a lot of his stuff, lol). Probably wouldn't get much sleep after an episode though, hehe. Reading Lovecraft never scared me much, but watching might be another story....

Well I hate to be the party pooper but did you hear who they made the director of their action department? The one the only.

sound cool at first but are we really holding out hope this wont turn out to wokenan the wokebarian, after all cant have a strong male figure these days thats the patriarchy at work, never knew that conan and the cthulu mythos crossed over, read fair bit of lovecraft as a teen cant remember any racism in it, just frustration that everything was indescribable horror always seemed to me like i cant be bothered to make up a description, that being said some of the later cm writers have some great work, there was a lovecraft tv series but got canned for racism i think only hope for conan is it doesn't turn into willow, where he cant be conan anymore as hes old and decrepit but is saved by the new girl savior trope they love these days
