Conan Is Looking Significantly More Conan-y
The Cimmerian — the Conan-loving blog — managed to snag a few pics of some one-sheets of Jason Momoa as Conan in the upcoming movie remake. If you recall, the last time we saw the Momoaian, he was look buff but far too upbeat while riding on a horse (although in his defense it was likely a behind-the-scenes pic). But what about in the official photos?

?Not bad, methinks. He looks like someone you would not want to cross in the first pic, and someone you don’t want to be on the receiving end of that blade in the other. But there’s more!

?Dudes. That top picture makes me feel like a pretty princess who needs to be rescued by Conan. Er, metaphorically speaking. I’m just saying he looks smart, powerful and extremely deadly, which is exactly how I think Conan should look. The other pic is more powerful and deadly than smart, but all you have to do is look up to the other picture into Conan’s piercing eyes… his piercing blue eyes… ahem. Anyways, I think he looks much improved. Just sayin’.
