“ Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of. And unto this, Conan, destined to put on the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled forehead. It’s I, his chronicler, who alone can inform thee of his saga. Let me let you know of the times of excessive journey! “
So begins Conan the Barbarian*,* which I take into account an actual achievement of a sword and sorcery fantasy epic on the display screen. It has an extactic soundtrack made by the good Basil Poladouros, superior struggle sequences, a compelling story with themes of the strenght of 1’s personal will, with very cool characters (Conan, Valeria, Thulsa Doom). It even has Max Von Sidow giving an superior speech as king Rorik.
Conan the Destroyer, alternatively, is rather more tuned down with the intention to entice an youthful demographic. Its foolish, has an absurd struggle scene within the center that appears like b-movie materials, an clumsy however likeable sidekick put there simply to advert some jokes… It isn’t my cup of tea. BUT it commits to the identical narrative line because the earlier film, one giant saga.
The saga which is able to inevitably finish with Conan sporting the jeweled crown of Aquilonia.
The Ending narration of Conan the Barbarian:
And having no additional concern he and his companions sought journey within the west. Many wars and feuds did conan struggle. Honor and worry had been heaped upon his title. In time he grew to become a king by his personal hand. This story shall even be instructed.
The ending narration of Conan the Destroyer:
So it was that Conan mourned his misplaced Valeria. At lenght he sougth journey at distant lands and trodded the jeweled thrones of the earth beneath his sandals… till ultimately, he discovered his personal kingdom and wore its crown upon a troubled brown. However that’s one other story.
The story of Conan the King is the to start with Conan tales written by Robert E Howard: The Phoenix and the Sword. It’s the story of Conan as an outdated king.
So age will not be actually an obstacle for Arnold to reprise his position.
And it is vitally apparent that he loves the character. He has the unique sword in his workplace and the ORIGINAL throne as his chair.
So, I simply assume that, very similar to a well-known quote on the ending of a well-known comedy film, he ought to get on with it!
