The companion, as I understand it, isn’t female. It’s a synthetic.

It's a synthetic female; like the one I deflate and put away when I'm done with her. Never complains or talks back, either.

Seriously though, Mamoa's "Conan (the Rotarian)" suffered from a disjointed story and writers who couldn't decide if it was comedic, horror or adventure - so they threw it all against a wall to see what sticks. Great opening scene, Rose McGowan was good, you can see Stephan Lang trying not to laugh while playing lead villain.

"Hey guys check it out...some guy named Howard wrote all about this guy. We should use some of HIS stuff."

Your thinking the day of machismo is over has John Wick, Nobody and Sisu saying otherwise. There's always a market for basic human archetypes no matter how much 'woke' Hollywood wishes otherwise. The box office beatings will continue until they realize they're in the entertainment - not reprogramming - business.
