Not sure what they’re trying for here… She Arthur, Warrior Princess.

Have you ever read the comics? She's supposed to be a badass. I just think they maybe picked the wrong girl for this.

This.

Red Sonja has ALWAYS been a badass. Just like Conan, we're introduced to her already being a bad arse - we don't get her origin story until 2 years after her debut.

Fun tidbits:

Red Sonja has (sort-of) teamed up with Spider-Man twice - in both cases, her spirit inhabits Mary Jane Watson in some capacity.

Red Sonja has also had crossovers with:
Mars Attacks!
John Carpenter (through comics from the Pathfinder RPG)
Tarzan
Vampirella
Betty and Veronica (along with Vampirella)


Also, though often called a "chainmail" bikini, her armor is often shown as scalemail - most likely so that artists did not have to also depict leather underneath the armor

Wendy Pini, one of the creators of the Elfquest comic, would often cosplay as Red Sonja back when that was a much rarer thing for fans to do:

Are we going back to the 90s with CGI? Studios think we don’t notice the Mortal Kombat special effects.

It just looks generic as hell.

And then the gladiator moment with the chain mail bikini outfit… That felt like a line from “A Knight’s Tale“

Now if someone would just make a Solomon Kane flick that doesn’t suck…

I believe this Red Sonja is produced by the same studio that did Solomon Kane.

definitely comic accurate


They have been making some wild Red Sonja comics over the years. There have been multiple series where she fights and/or pals around with Vampirella. So you’ve got the chainmail bikini vs. that card red one-piece.

There have even been series where the two of them meet up with the broads from the Archie (Riverdale?) Comics.
