So Conan is in 616 for a while now. My only doubt is, how frequent he washes his lioncloth. I am sure he didn't brought any spares

Get off my lawn, you bloody young whippersnapper.

The more important question is why is he still wearing that.

Yeah that too.

I find it hilarious how successful Conan is in Earth-616. Over in Savage Avengers he told a bunch of other veterans like Magik and Daimon and Wolverine he just got back from having a hooker orgy, beating one of the hookers to death with another hooker's prosthetic leg because Shuma-Gorath posessed her through her spiked drugs and then being asked back to bed by the surviving hookers. At no point is the veracity or unusualness of these claims challenged or even commented on by anyone present except Black Widow.

Every time someone posts about how characters in Marvel in general are getting emasculated, dumbed down or made to job it feels like Conan is the inexplicable exception to that. He contributed meaningfully in a fight with a sorcerer that exhausted Doom and Strange even when teaming up. This isn't even a "he's a male character and treated with respect" thing, Conan genuinely feels more adored by everyone writing him than every other protagonist in Marvel.

>Once they've been around him for a while, people start seeing the world the way he does. All big and simple. And they want to be a part of it.

...fuck me running you're right, this is literally what's been happening to Conan ever since he got introduced to 616. Hell it was happening in his solo in modern Marvel until that got cancelled. I don't know or care if it's intentional, but damn if it ain't entertaining in a way I'd didn't expect from Marvel.

Cohen's awesome, if you haven't gotten into Discworld you really should. He has a set of dentures made from a troll's teeth (which are pure diamond) and he is literally the ONLY one who can get away with it. That's how powerful his charisma is.

Sounds like a Black Hole Sue to me. I'll pass.

No I get that, I've read all the books and seen his sendoff in The Last Hero. It's why I was genuinely surprised I literally didn't make the connection between Cohen Plot Armor and Conan's inexplicably applicable competence in Marvel until now. He gave Vision a peptalk. He earned Wanda's respect after relating to her reasons not to fuck him earlier that night. Fuck, he ATE AT DOOM'S TABLE AS AN HONORED GUEST despite showing up with a broadsword and loincloth. He parted ways with Frank Castle on good terms. Everywhere Conan goes in Marvel, the world conspires to not make him job.

I'm worried about all the STDs he might have brought to the present, he is fucking a lot and i don't think he even knows what a condom is.

>Sounds like a Black Hole Sue to me.

Not exactly. Part of his story arc is the end of the age of heroes and myths, the advancement of technology accelerating the encroachment of civilization on the untamed wilderness, and the unavoidable fact that Cohen and his like don't really have a place in a rapidly modernizing world. The younger barbarian heroes are hanging up the loincloths and assimilating into civilized society, Cohen and his Silver Horde are the only ones left still keeping the old heroing ways alive, and while they do try to adapt to the ways of the modern world (like actually paying for things, and taking baths frequently), it's obvious that they're too old and too stubborn to fit in. So he's not flawless: yeah, he's an ideal barbarian hero, but that means he doesn't belong in the modern world.

>i don't think he even knows what a condom is.

He thinks it's a kind of bird.

Cohen is Conan if he NEVER dies. He's 70, and he's still going. He's 80 and still going. He's 90 and still turning up and stabbing sorcerers.

>In one of the world's most dangerous professions (barbarian warlord), he has lived to be a very old man. Think about it!

Licensed characters come with stipulations

I think it's also that the writers actually really respect Conan unlike the superheroes they usually write

I'm pretty sure Marvel has more licensed characters than just Conan, and I'm damn sure none of them are treated nearly as respectfully.

I do get this vibe which is, frankly, fucking astounding to me relative to the lack of respect Marvel's writers typically show for their mainstays. Even fucking AARON'S run for Conan errs on the side of decent judging from that spiritual confrontation with Crom.

Uh... Well, Skottie Young and Eric Shanower knocked a pretty baller Oz adaptation for 6 volumes in the past decade. The designs were over the top but remarkably faithful in spirit to Baum's Oz.

So it holds water that if it's a licensed deal Marvel tries, or at least tried, to do right by it.

I'm genuinely impressed you found an example to prove me wrong, user. I suppose I've been just so jaded by how Marvel treats it's in-house crew it's sometimes difficult to believe that on some level it is a functional company and not a mass shitpost orgy directed at itself.

Thanks!

Though to be fair it's the ONLY (recent) adaptation I could think of. I know Young worked on a John Carter adaptation one shot but nobody cared about it. Also, Conan was for the longest time Marvel's beloved yet adoptive child thanks to Roy Thomas' run.

Given that it was damn near 20 years since anyone working with Conan was at Marvel, could have Conan buddy up with Marvel characters, etc, I've always imagined they've just been really happy to have him back.


Hopefully this will be true of the X-men if/when Marvel starts fixing their shit.

Does someone have that What-If from the 70s or whatever where Conan came into modern Marvel at the time, and basically became a pimp and gang leader, Warriors style?

Wait until Leah or Kelly gets hold of him.

I have a feeling Leah Williams would write the sloppiest schlickflick possibly with Conan

This is absolutely untrue and all you have to do to realize this is looking at the absolute garbage DC shat out for their licensed characters

Question is . how come he is getting laid all time with that smell in modern era.
And how come he never slept with any hero.

He's changed pants a few times.

Never noticed. When?

He wore regular pants in the Savage Avengers annual, and I think the Empyre tie-in.

I love his peptalk to Vision.
