I, actually, may have underestimated his strength. He was was reportedly as strong as 20 alpha men from the Hyborian Age. The strongest modern men can deadlift around 1200-1500lbs, yet are weaker than those ancient "cave men!" 🤓 I calculated using modern men's standards. 👍

I can't recall Conan ever saying that, except in the 1982 movie where Conan for some reason end up with the backstory of king Kull who lived many generations before Conan. They are similar, both barbarians with awesome strenght, stamina and will power who eventually become kings, but there is some differences, Conan basically always stayed a cheerful dude while Kull turned into a dark and brooding figure from the responsibility of the crown.

[@ricosuave6898]

What you say is true and he wasn't superhuman, but he did have good genetics. Cimmerians are the descendants of the Atlanteans.

[@daleludtke7803]

About the only thing "supernatural" would be the belief that all Cimmerians are given the strength to slay by Crom, which is his one gift to his people, and will give nothing else. This is probably just a belief, and not actual fact. Conan himself was just the very peak of what a human can be, a one in a billion, blessed with natural strength, speed and endurance. He was not superhuman (though in the Dale Rippke and Sprague de Campe novels they could argue that he had an almost inhuman will), but was just the very best at pretty much everything.

[@luthermcgee3756]

Jack Wilson , right jack. I'm an authority on the entire volumes 1 to 10. And never did Robert E. Howard write any time that Conan could lift even one ton. He could life 900 to 1100 pounds, which is more than any man today can do. But since he's a fantasy adventure hero, we are only required to enjoy his exploits.

And unto this, Conan, destined to wear the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow. It is I, his chronicler, who alone can tell thee of his saga. Let me tell you of the days of high adventure!'' Fire and wind come from the sky, from the gods of the sky, but Crom is your god. Crom, and he lives in the Earth. Once giants lived in the Earth, Conan, and in the darkness of chaos they fooled Crom, and they took from him the enigma of steel. Crom was angered, and the Earth shook, and fire and wind struck down these giants, and threw their bodies into the waters. But in their rage, the gods forgot the secret of steel, and left it on the battlefield. We, who found it, are just men: not gods, not giants, just men. And the secret of steel has always carried with it a mystery. You must learn its riddle, Conan, you must learn its discipline. For no one, no one in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts... This you can trust. [points to his sword]'' *Basil Poledouris' epic soundtrack starts to play*

[@johndarcangelo6893]

I have this scene saved in a playlist. My favorite movie, i grew up watching it. His father believed the secret of steel was the sword but he was wrong, the movie shows that everything he said in his opening dialogue was wrong. Thulsa believed the secret of steel was flesh, for it wields the sword. Conan proves him wrong when he chops off his head with his fathers broken sword. The truth is that it is the indomitable will of the warrior, who commands both flesh and steel to defeat his enemies. This is shown in the final scene when he holds the broken sword in one hand and Thulsa's head in the other. Great fucking movie.

But the proudest kingdom of the world was Aquilonia, reigning supreme in the dreaming west. Hither came Conan the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandalled feet."

I must say, I am not at all a fan of merging Conan into MCU. It is simply different universe, created by R.E.Howard (and as such, Marvel just cant bend its rules to their multiverse, such as turning gods and demons of R.E.Howard into alter-ego of servants of their deities - example being Hyborian god Mitra as MCU being Mithra... I mean WTF? Its like saing that Tolkien's Melkor will later be reincarnated as Thanos.) I have no problem with fan-fiction (many of them can be actually considerably good).

Also in marvels data base they said Conan has no known weakness , he’s like the only character that I’ve ever seen that they he said that about

[@saladinbryant563]

They forgot booze and wenches. lol

[@daleludtke7803]

@BadPeople1100 Pulp characters from the 30s would often be considered Mary/Gary Sues today, but they worked within how they were told. Conan never really met the same characters in any of the original works, and they were all essentially self contained stories. So it worked to have a guy who was stronger, faster, tougher, smarter and better than everyone around him. Plus he was the "first" which also makes it much easier to sell. Same goes for alot of Superheroes today. Batman and Superman would not work at all if you tried to create them today.. they work because they are the ones who started the trope, and are above it. Conan is the same way... when they create characters like him now its usually satirical.

[@daleludtke7803]

@BadPeople1100 at least you know where the term comes from. The modern intepretation of what a Mary Sue is today, is not necessarily someone who breaks the rules of their own universe, but one that is a "special snowflake" in their own world. Conan has no flaws, but he is a flawed character, which saves him. But he is stronger than almost everyone, he is smarter than almost everyone, he is faster, tougher, with more willpower and can do things that no one else in any of his stories can really match. He has traveled farther, experienced more, and is more knowledgeble than virtually anyone around him. Very rarely does he say that someone is "better than him" at something (one of the few exceptions if the Picts, he knows he cannot match their woodcraft.). he has many gary stu properties, and if you created a character like that today, it would be lambasted and shot down faster than you can say "Rey is to powerful." He works within his genre, because he essentially made that genre what it is today.

[@davidcarty7584]

This video is still as well done as i remembered but my boy forget to mention the time, when conan was a kid he ended up crippling,a boy who was twice his size in fight because the stupid kid taught he could bully conan well that didn't end well for him now did it.😁😂🤣

[@warrioroflight9231]

Conan the adventurer, Conan man of bravery, with his mighty sword protecting the mightiest of warriors is heeeere!😂😂🔥🔥🔥

Conan sub Beast I have a crap load of his old 80's comics

[@Talltrees84]

From the Tales of the Hyborian Age. An age that may have, could never have been or may yet be. One of my best character from fiction.

[@dionshaewishum4179]

I’m thinking Conan needs to be a ten. In his world, there was/is no peer.

[@Doctor-Stoppage]

Dark Horse's Conan is perfect and Tomas Giorello's art is incredible.

[@kratoscraken5614]

Conan is the most raw and realist character ever next to The Punisher he's beyond awesome. He's #1 💪👍💪

[@catharticchills_]

Great video like always

[@NewSage]

Thanks a lot! Have a good one! 😎

[@DavittFinol]

Greeting from Venezuela! Thanks for the videos! Have you done one about The Thing, from F4?

[@wylee.coyote6161]

Conan easily deserves a rating of 10. Easily.

[@skyguy5763]

Sage you a beast for this one😁the origin of the berserker rage😡he even killed wolverine once😏by Crom!😑

[@NewSage]

Thanks bro! He's an O.G. Savage! He was unforgettable after Arnold played him back in the day! 😅😎👍

[@alltheragegeorgepage]

I remember seeing on some movie celebrity site that Arnold Schwarzenegger was going to do Conan The King. But he decided to do Terminator: Genesys.

[@NewSage]

That would've been EPIC!!! Almost like if he revisited his role in Predator! 😎👍

[@TheTrueFeleas]

This is weird coming from a Conan fan who has the all the works by Robert E. Howard plus many other novels that came after his death, but I honestly never knew that Conan was picked up by Marvel. This is awesome news to me despite it being old news.

[@twogungunnar9456]

Huh. Yeah Conan was a very successful Marvel title in at least 3 separate series from the 70's through the 80's. There was Conan the Barbarian, King Conan, and The Savage Sword of Conan. Back in those days, I think he was the only character to have 3 titles running simultaneously. Savage Sword is what turned me on to Howard in the first place.

[@TheTrueFeleas]

@@twogungunnar9456 The more you know I guess. I know what I'm gonna try collecting now haha.

[@twogungunnar9456]

@@TheTrueFeleas The Savage Swords drawn by John Buscema, inked by Ernie Chan, and written by Roy Thomas are worth having...but get THIS before anything else... www.amazon.com/Complete-Chronicles-Conan-GollanczF/dp/0575077808

[@Himmyjewett]

the comics were a big reason the movies even happened

[@maxlethe3973]

Phoenix on the Sword was published in 1932 by Weird Tales. Not 39 in 39 reh had been dead for 3 years and had moved from heroic fantasy (the genre he created) to mostly westerns before that tragedy. In the reh stories he had no superhuman anything. The only book length story written by reh about Conan was the serial hour of the dragon. Conan's physical profile more closely firs Captain America from the 80s Marvel handbook: peak human.

[@elijahrussjr]

I love the backing track that's my theme music.no joke I love that gatuiar.

[@nathankelley1466]

Don't forget his super hard on. Almost every episode in the comics he gets in a drunken bar fight, steals off with a wench and plows her field, all while killing anyone who gets in his way. Ahhh! The life of a barbarian!

[@BENTWOONEZERO]

It was 1932 when he first appeared in print, Howard died in 1936.

[@Smoove91321]

Question, when do you plan on doing coverage on Daredevil?

[@kcvic]

by Crom...always good bro

[@NewSage]

😅 Appreciate it, bro!

[@jamesrynott3742]

Swear not so often by Crom his attentions are not always welcome

[@jacoballred]

That I haven't read every fiction story about Conan the Barbarian. The stories are interesting to read. Because stories can let a mind escape into an ancient past of High Conquest, War and Magic.

[@nak3dxsnake]

I love Conan. Glad he is back in Marvel's hands. Can we get a Savage Lands Hyboria hybrid event in the MCU please Feige?

They only have comic rights not movie rights.

>possibly more dense skeleton >incredible stamina >damn good immune system >has much more speed than a man his size should have Whelp, Conan is a space marine from 40k sent back in time it seems.
