'She saw only toxic masculinity': Amazon Studios Head Jennifer Salke Reportedly Scrapped a Gritty Conan the Barbarian Series, Forced it To Move To Netflix

Judging how wheel of time and rings of power turned out, maybe it’s a blessing in disguise Amazon let it go.

Dammit. Another show I won’t watch.

Oh well, I prefer Korean rom cons on Netflix anyway. Not social justice messaging.

Is a two hour Gillette man hating commercial movie going to be that good?

Yet another example of an unprofessional and sexist female leader. What a surprise...

There's been too much high fantasy recently so some low fantasy Conan will feel pretty fresh. It's a shame the Jason Momoa remake was so bad, he was decent in it but almost everything else was kind of boring.

That's it? That's the article? Studio head finds Toxic Masculinity (seriously, it was capitalized)? Fuck, yet another woman studio exec who didn't read the source material. Apparently the stoic, never-say-die Conan the Barbarian wasn't in touch with his feminine side enough.

That's the point of the character, Jennifer. He's a badass that doesn't take shit from people, does what he wants, and doesn't have a problem with it. He's Conan the Barbarian, not Conan the Centered.

Fuck

So does this mean the Gritty Conan will come to Netflix? 'Cause that sounds great!

I hope people get their heads chopped off, and someone loses a toe!

So very Toxic!

So pleased that women in positions of influence are showing the world how much better they can do everything? By influsing their sexist bias and gender hatred into their work, sprouting hate speech and gynocentric chatter.

Beaver_Buster · 2022-09-22T20:56:31+00:00

Off topic but they already remade it and it didn't compare. James earl Jones and Arnold is going to be hard to match.

This is why I watch anime.

'Conan the Male Ally'

It's not about what men want to see. It's about what I want men to see. I will show them men that are bumbling baffoons.

blaizken_420 · 2022-09-23T15:47:00+00:00

Not even allowed to have role models on TV. But sure, men are the privileged gender.

ExMuzzy · 2022-09-23T17:28:06+00:00

Even without the gender politics Netflix and Amazon content are mostly shit so I don't even bother with them anymore. They are just making thoughtless originals to fill out their catalogue since it's getting harder to license stuff with all the different streaming platforms.

Great, now Netflix can make an awesome opening scene and then follow it up with 80 minutes of a trash movie.

McFeely_Smackup · 2022-09-23T22:50:44+00:00

If the name sounds similar to you, then yes, this series was set to follow the same source material that was followed by Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 1982 critically and commercially

Did this person really just ask if "Conan the Barbarian" sounded familiar?

almostadaddy · 2022-09-26T03:12:39+00:00

In fairness, I'd probably drive shows I didn't like over to the Lifetime channel.
