Don’t like the writer, too little experienced and thinks Hyrkania can be anything she wants in spite of established canon of Robert E Howard and decades of comics.
Don’t like the casting, if anything like Howard’s Hyrkania she’d be something between Slavic (Red Sonya of Rogatino the character Thomas used as template) and Mongolian which would be closer to Howard’s Hyrkania.
This team doesn’t care.
