Help me out? There was a video essay that went viral a while back (or maybe it was a regular essay) about the first few minutes of 1982's Conan The Barbarian examining why Conan is released from being a pit fighter. I was hoping to share it with a class.

the story of red hair was an incredible piece. one of the last things i read on the old sight.

was this the one that was looking at it from the perspective of the cultural pressures attendant on virtue as a warrior and what it meant for Conan to overmatch his 'owner'?

Oh this one seems to be a readable version of what i linked to in my other reply threadreaderapp.com/thread/16114...

Is this it? Seems to be a really popular one but from, the other place vxtwitter.com/hradzka/stat...

I know Zack Stentz (@MuseZack there) was the one who linked to it on Twitter — alas, all the info I can remember.
