[edit] New Red Sonja Movie

I just came off IMDb. The projected release year has been changed to 2010 (Here's the link for proof: [1]) Spartan198 (talk) 14:23, 21 May 2008 (UTC) Spartan198

[edit] First appearance

So what was censored ? -- Beardo 02:49, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lawsuit

Placeholder paragraph and link added regarding the Red Sonja, LLC/Paradox Entertainment lawsuit. MW Turnage 21:01, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Conan and Sonja

It says she would never bed another man unless he defeated her in combat. I can't imagine she'd have a chance against him in fair combat, he'd be so much stronger. So did that happen, and did Conan land her?

Anyone else ever read novelist/comic book writer Peter David's analysis of Red Sonja's famous oath to never have sex unless its with a man who defeats her? He likens it to saying "I will never have sex unless its with a man who can recreate the circumstances of my rape, during which I was helpless before a physically superior man" and that a kind, caring man (David actually uses the phrase "the kind of man who could help heal her fractured psyche and give her back a normal life") is thus never even in the running.

He also suggested that Red Sonja needs some seriously deep psychological counseling.

To my knowledge,no,Conan never had her. One of the comics mentioned something about "niether wanting to win nor lose". Spartan198 (talk) 14:10, 21 May 2008 (UTC) Spartan198

[edit] Variant covers

I removed the variant covers for the following reasons: A) They're all covers of #1, but add nothing. Therefore, the primary version is more easily justifiable. B) They clutter the page, making for uncomfortable formatting and aesthetics. C) It's hardly justifiable as fair use, considering they all depict the same character. --Kusonaga 10:39, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] hmm?

Much of this entry (take a look at the 'parody' for example) seems to be lifted from here: http://www.redsonja.net/htmlfiles/history.html . Or was it the other way around..?

Surprisingly, it WAS the other way around! In fact, just about the entire article is taken from Wikipedia's "Red Sonja" page! Check the bottom of red sonja.net's page. It says "Source: Wikipedia.com"!

[edit] Celtic legend

Apparently this character was based on the Celtic legend Ifay (sp?), can anyone confirm this? Chris 18:43, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

No,Red Sonja was based on REH's original Red Sonya of Rogantino. Spartan198 (talk) 14:10, 21 May 2008 (UTC) Spartan198

[edit] Only six books?

The article says that only six novels exist.But I once saw a Red Sonja book in a book store,the name can be translated as 'Red Sonja and the Pantry of Darkness'(Alas,I do not remember the author's name).Can anybody explain such a phenomenon?Dimts 07:59, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Marvelteamup79.jpg

Image:Marvelteamup79.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Powers and abilities?

Shouldn't there be an Powers and abilities topic in this article? I'd write it myself but I haven't read enough Red Sonja. For example does she have actual super-strength or is she "only" in peak human condition like Conan? --Hophi (talk) 00:40, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

No,Sonja has no powers or anything. Just peak human condition,like you said. Spartan198 (talk) 14:12, 21 May 2008 (UTC) Spartan198
