  • Most Robert E Howard fans actually love this film!

    It's just that YouTube has a magical method for attracting the most ignorant, opinionated, loudmouth, douchebags on the planet to voice their petty quibbles.

  • 30 years before a tweedy Brit wrote about hobbits, a half-mad young Texan invented the sword n' sorcery genre. Fantasy owes a massive debt to its unsung genuis, Robert E.

    (btw, I'm Australian myself, so I'm not trying to be patriotic. I'm just stating a fact).

  • @mammal360 No lol, he's talking about me......

  • WTF Was he just talking about me?

  • Vincent D'Onofrio is amazing as Howard. And yes, Howard does deserve the credit for kickstarting the S&S genre as it is known today. There had been fantasy stories written before, but nothing with a series character, nor anything in the same manner as Howard wrote.

  • What is the meaning of life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamantation of de women.

  • @gundammon

    Robert Howard grew up in Texas and his passions were reading and hearing stories from Native Americans, Civil War and Indian War Veterans and Ex-Slaves, and many of those tales found their ways into his stories

  • @KurdishKlansman Well, in your opinion, anyway.

  • @KurdishKlansman Go read any of the Tarzan books by ER Burroughs if you want a bad depiction of black people. In the Conan stories, nearly everybody is scum and nobody can be trusted, whether "civilized" non-black people or not. That was a recurring theme in Howard's work...people and their civilizations are deeply-flawed creations, and regardless of race, they have the incapability of striving for anything beyond their own petty desires.
