Sounds like the director hasn't looked at the source material. |

Uhhhhhhh.....yeah...wow...ancient heroine with epic calling, ok that works. That other stuff...ok I'm game, what connection with nature and our planet? I know she was out in the wilderness when she got the powers, or is that not operational anymore? If you want to do a Sheena reboot, that would work there. Red Sonja? |

Facebook got in touch with one of the admins saying "they are REMOVING posts from this group because they are 'violating their community standards against harassment and bullying'. My answer to that was "Wish they'd be as quick at sorting out 'their community standards against harassment and bullying' with the on-going racist remarks being aimed at our sportsmen and women." Well said Terry. I can forsee another social media boycott in the near future. As for the Facebook Red Sonja rants,it sounds like it escalated very quickly into a verbal free for all. Who knew passions would be so heightened. |

It could be some kinda romantacized view of the nomadic Hyrkanians? Unlike the sedentary civilisations they do not live by the plough scarring the Earth. Or I think more likely, Red Sonja gains her fighting skills/powers fro some kinda 'Mother Earth Goddess'. |

Now we just need the casting news for Conan and SK to make it a hat-trick LOL |

It could be all out war!! 😄 In a drunken discussion with a few mates a few actors names were thrown around. I put forward Florian Munteanu as a possible fit... One of my mates opted for Adam Driver for a Barry Windsor Smith style Conan !?!? It just shows how varied everyone's view is! |

Gone post, oh well, and I wanted to add REH's take on the Hyrkanian look. Might add at least this.
'The Hyrkanians are dark and generally tall and slender, though a squat slant -eyed type is more and more common among them,........'

This shouldn't be a surprise to anybody. It should be obvious that Hollywood wants to avoid casting white people in positive roles as much as possible, especially those marketed toward the younger generation (indoctrination). It's been a slow, steady gradual movement that synchronizes with all the rest of anti-white politics going on according to the agenda by the mainstream media, dems and social media overlords- critical race theory, excluding white people from certain benefits (Oakland, farmers), white privilege checklists for employees(Disney), mass censorship of conservatives, attack on traditional family values/Christianity (Equality Act), attack on private schools, ect. The list goes on and on.
Nobody should be expecting anything less at this point.

Anyway, the comic book character was a Hyrkanian but was "cast" as a white person, was that an issue for you? Christianity? What colour do you think Adam and Eve were? Or Jesus, come to that? |

This guy sums up the situation best, casting is all about "agenda", and not about finding an actor that is best suited for a role.
