I mean is there anything in particular you would recommend based upon my initial post? I'm all for checking out something worth it, but we both know how we settle on the Frankenstein monstrosity that came out, what was it last year?

And just to save you some time:
Die kill repeat
Kill Bill
Matrix
Gotm

All decent female heroines.

Blade Runner 2049
Fargo season 5
The Hunt

For sure

Note about the hunt: it starts off like a jab at the right but then turns on the left. It's hilariously balanced

Wasn't the short story Red Nails? It's been a while since I read or listened to Howard's works of Conan, but I want to say that was the storry.

I had typed out my response to @OU Ariakas earlier, and I was sitting there thinking about it more over my coffee.

You start going into horror movies specifically, which Terminator was, and one of the first ones that popped in my head was Kirsty Cotton, specifically in the second film.

If you look at Hellraiser, it's that same sort of character arc that Ripley had dealing with an unknown threat almost beat for beat, just totally different settings.

She's trapped inside a house where she knows something evil is up there consuming things in the attic/ship. Confronts the threat, on the house/ship blows up.

Kristi is then waylaid and called a lunatic because of cenobites/aliens, and then she ends up having to descend into hell/nest. Your firefight moment is the cenobite showdown for hellraiser where you get the audience pumped up, but then ends horribly, but she still comes out on top.

The horror genre could singlehandedly show how to create "strong" female characters who the audience embrace, while also even being considered a trope. There's no excuse especially because of the latter point, nor is there some kind of misogynistic culture overtaking audiences as the media loves to frame it.

This is pattern recognition of shit, plain and simple, and more people are catching on to become positively fatigued of anything that sets off their alarms. Producers of movies, shows, and games decided to give their original audiences the finger to chase after a nonexistent one so that they can boast to one another of how much more "woke" they are in a virtue-signaling competition that can only end in complete catastrophic comedy.

Yeah there's a surprising amount of Howard and Lovecraft on there that I listen to at night.

Audible came out though with a few anthologies of all of the Conan stories in what's supposed to be in chronological order, all narrated by Todd McLaren. Those are the ones that I had listened to originally, and they're fantastic. There's even a very good Solomon Kane anthology, but a different narrator.

They're totally worth the credits if you have an audible account.

Do you think Achilles will appear to Odysseus with Patroclus' rotting dick in his ass, just as woke libtard Plato interpreted it?
