I think the only question for CONAN THE BARBARIAN now is whether it’s going to be “good ridiculous” or “bad ridiculous” as I think it NOT being ridiculous is pretty out of the question. Don’t believe me? Check out this new red band clip from early in the film.
Here a young Conan (looking a bit like Arya from Game of Thrones) has the challenge of holding an egg in his mouth while battling other younglings in a race around the mountains to prove their worth as warriors.
But their little exercise is interrupted by some savage hill people, and what does mini-Conan do? After sending the other ten boys away for help, kills ALL OF THEM and walks back into camp with a few handfuls of severed heads. Subtlety, thy name is not Conan.
