Her personality.

>>94108059
not a sissy that hides behind armor

Guys that want to get their dick stepped on

>>94108059
>Hourglass figure(birthing hips with nursing tits)
>Redhead
>Warrior
>Total boozer
>Likes crude jokes
>Depending on the writer is either impossible to bed or a slut. Either way, appealing.

Strong female character done right.
Also not a homo, a refreshing change.

She's sexy and badass and she kills shit. That said, Jirel of Joiry > Red Sonja.

>>94108438
But I only want her to rape my ass, ballbusting is too much.

>>94108137
>muh

>>94108059
what the fuck is NOT appealing?

>>94108518

Uh, Red Sonja has dipped into bisexuality a couple of times in the comics.

So, a bit homo...?

>>94108059
Strong enough to defeat the cock!!

the smell

>>94108059
Honestly, I can't think of a more significant or better female sword and sorcery protagonist. She's kind of got that whole genre locked up.

>>94108059
People like her on the strength of the genuinely good comics that she used to be in.

>>94108059
My only gripe is that she's always portrayed as way too clean, she needs to have scars, be dirty, etc. way more often like Conan.

She needs a cute submissive girlfriend though

>>94110579
Sonja loves the cock though. Begone lesbo.

>>94108059
This outfit is problematic. It can give someone a boner.

>>94109343
Why are you writing like that?

You could gender bend Conan into a woman and Sonja into a man and most of their interactions wouldn't even change. Depending on your tastes that is either something you'll like or not, I usually enjoy whatever she appears in

>>94108471
^This Also the bikini armor is iconic.

>>94108059
She most likely smells terrible consider the time period she is in, the constant travel and lack of baths.

Fanservice

It was the closest thing to drawn tits the regular 80s /co/ sperg could get at the comic store and claim it was "for the plot"

>>94109418
this makes my dick interested, anything else about how she smells?

I'm a huge conan fan and I like t&a. There's a ton they could do with her but no one buys her comics for the story so even good writers dont put any real effort into her

She's Conan with tits, ass, and a red mane.

>>94115081
Ironically I think being tied to Conan has actually hurt her in the long run.

>>94115077
damn what a piece.
I bought Dark horse's shitty reprint several years ago. back then I thought its art is horrendous. but now i see...

>>94115901
Was that when they recolored the original art and used like digital coloring or some shit?

no hyborea is a cool setting. They could do a lot with her but with her being a soft core porn character from the 70s no writer has tried actually doing anything with her. If she wasnt tied to conan she'd have faided into obscurity like everything else Frank Thorne did.

>>94116229
Hyborea is cool, but Sonja is stuck in the unfortunate circumstance of being a perpetual side character who gets thrown table scraps every now and then. Let face it, she's not all that well off as she is now, stuck as a middling brand at Dynamite.

>>94118403
I think red sonja does need a redesign though. Hyrkania is an analog of scythia. Nothing about her costume says 'steppe warrior.'

>>94119314
Basically Dynamite bit the SJW pill and tried to remake all their female characters as less sexy, but when they realized they weren't the big three and had a movie safety net to keep them afloat they swiftly changed Sonja back to her original bikini because the fans were pissed and they realized SJW's don't actually buy comics.

>>94119462
Thanks for the explanation, but I did manage to read the thread, but thank you though.

>>94119532
If that was Bennett, then why do people usually blame Simone for that? I thought her run was still classic-costume. Is it just /co/ being /co/ and not actually reading comics?

>>94119585
>Is it just /co/ being /co/ and not actually reading comics?

The answer is always yes.

>>94119412
I'm ashamed to admit FO4 introduced me to this song

Fucking loved it though. The 50's/60's had some snarky ass music

>>94108059
Why even bother with mail bikini at this point. Why not just regular cloth or leather bikini.

>>94118798
I actually dig Deja and Sonja

>>94119462
It should be noted that only Sonja got her looks reversed. Dejah Thoris was fucking cancelled and Vampirella is stuck in a even worse outfit.

>>94119585
I actually enjoyed Simone run. I was familiar with Walter Geovani's art and I didn't really care about writing.
but I couldn't stand Bennett run's art.

>>94119532
>>94118403
Honestly this look isn't that bad, I mean the hood is ugly, but only cause of the face they gave it, and scalemail has never been a armor design I was fond of but it could have been a lot worse.

>>94119753
If you think that's snarky, look up If You Want to Be Happy by Jimmy Soul. Guys were straight savages back then.

>>94119585
>If that was Bennett, then why do people usually blame Simone for that?
Because it was simone's designs. She also redesigned vampirella and deja thoris.

>>94109506
why is she screaming in Finnish

>>94118246

>>94108137
Don't like feet too much but I would

>>94108438
Not specifically stepped on, but the general gist of it

>>94108633
This, a bit of ball busting is okay though

>>94119833

With you there. The hood is weird but I could see it being used well in story.

The rest of the design is fine and with a good artist is still sexy as fuck.

>>94119833
>>94119892
Thats the thing, it's not like they de-sexed her. She just moved to a one piece (the true patrician choice) over a bikini,

>>94118798
Did they cover up the Martian men in those Dejah Thoris/Warlords of Mars reboot books? They spend most of their time prancing around in tiny loincloths in the earlier stuff.

>>94119342

Is this from the comic? Cause seriously that is Korra levels of bad, way worse character wise than the scale shirt costume.

>>94119944
Whats wrong with it?
her costume or her expression?

>>94118798
It's a dynamite wants their own MCU brand for their properties make over edition.

>>94119976

The expression.

I don't see her as a 10 year old kid sticking her tongue out and giving middle fingers.

...unless it's part of the storyline that she's been mind swapped with a modern 10 year old.

>>94119914

I'm not sure if it's the line art or just the colouring but this seems a bit odd to me.

Like a Marvel book, all bright and cartooney and not really fitting what's going on.

...Why the fuck is Dejah wearing clothing.
Everyone on Barsoom is supposed to be a borderline nudist barring an obscene amount of jewelry. Even John Carter spends a large chunk of the first book with his dick flopping around. The least they can do is keep the comics to loincloths and pasties.

Gotta protect the vital's anon, the breasts hold a womans hopes and dreams, or whatever that pic says.

Plus the inside is probably padded with said cloth or leather, I mean without it, I wouldn't wanna risk those scales pinching together...

>>94118790
You may have a point.

>>94119833
Yeah but the motives behind it were so blatant

>>94108059
You mean besides the obvious?

>>94119908
Maybe they were trying to have their cake and eat it too by giving her a redesign that would get sjws off their backs but was still sexy if you took the time to think about it.

>>94128110
The people who complain about the SJW-fication of nerd culture don't participate in that culture. That should have been obvious from the Hugo mess, when a bunch of guys who don't read speculative fiction tried to say the genre wasn't political.

I just don't like metal bikinis, they are retarded.

By making them out of metal it seems to imply that you CARED to defend these parts...but if you CARED FOR it you wouldn't be wearing a goddamn bikini to begin with!

Just make them out of silk, or fur, or something else.

Or give her a better armor. Same thing goes for Conan, I hate "Conan on loincloth", on the original stories by Howard Conan always tried to wear armor in battle (unless he was being stealth) and same goes for his female characters.

>>94118798
I actually really like those costumes. The hood on Sonja needs some work though.

>>94120191
That's actually closer to her original outfit. Marvel first had her in a chainmail tunic, and only later the bikini.

>>94128928
I think you have the complete opposite of the real situation down. In reality it is the SJW's who don't know anything about speculative fiction. Literally the genre was made into being political sometime after the 1970's for some reason and it became uber-left wing as a result.

>>94120135

Is there a recommended reading chart or whatever for Red Sonja? Asking for a friend. He's never heard of her until now.

>>94125729
yes. And then she goes out of her way to find some of the baddest hombres on the continent like Conan who could beat her in a fair fight, sets up a fair challenge as foreplay, and fucks the shit out of them.
No rule says she has to marry, or even stay with them past that evening. Just that she can't halfass the fightfucking to get to the fucking part.

Which it doesn't matter whether you project into badass hombre, hot chick, neither or both, it's still hot as fuck.

>>94118798

Sonja looks like fucking Wonder Woman there.

And Vampirella and Dejah Thoris are utterly disgusting. You take two characters who are ONLY known for being naked 24/7 and put clothes on them? That's like cutting off the legs of Usain Bolt.

I like that Red Sonja look for a short run. Like where she's not actually a character, but a force of nature that moves through the lives of the people we actually follow in the story. mite b cool.

Vampirella might be alright in some contexts. Depends on if we're ignoring Planet Draculon or not.

Dejah Thoris is awful. Not only is it too much clothing, it's not appealing clothing, and it completely removes the ornamentation that is what makes Red Martian attire unique. jewels, motherfucker. all kinds of jewels.

She's female Conan the Barbarian. It's not like Conan where's much of anything either.

It upsets people because it's part of a noticeable trend of females wearing the same amount of clothing as males. Some consider this an invasion of "THEIR" property by "OUTSIDERS".
