Now this is curious. James and Arnold pronounced Crom with a short o like in "gong" but here we hear a long o like in "bone." Howard himself gave us no indication how it should be pronounced, much like how some fans read Cimmeria as "Simmeria" and some read it as "Chimmeria" or "Kimmeria."
While Conans prayer that he gives to Crom in the movie might go against the established lore and mythology thats been established in the books and comics, I think it makes sense why Crom would at least not find Conan weak for it. This is a man who would either have his revenge or curse his own gods name if it was not granted. Conan would battle to his last breath regardless of his gods feelings. It reads more as "help me out or don't. I'd appreciate your blessing for this battle, but if not then fuck you." The only prayer that I could see a god as cruel and proud as Crom respecting.
Exactly. I think Crom would respect and possibly even answer a prayer done in this way. You're basically standing up to him, a god. It doesn't get much braver than that.
Crom! I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that today, two stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Crom; so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to hell with you!
Crom is a god who distributes grace to people for power and directs them to be powerful, instead of making them dependent on him. Sometimes the best way to make someone strong is to give them independence and encourage them to stand on their own two feet. Conan is the best example of this.
The mindset of Cimmerians when it comes to praying to Crom is simple. "He gave us the strength to slay and survive at birth. Who are we to question him by asking for more?"
If you aren't too spend the time to find all the images and make all the edits, why can't you spend 10 seconds finding out how to properly pronounce the name of the subject of the video?
Crom, (KRAHM) Dark lord of the Mound gives a man life and will, what he chooses to do with them is up to him. Luckily, Conan got the frickin "wil bucket" dumped out on him!
👍🏻By Crom! This i type of religion or spiritual system, ide fit right in with cimmerians. But hey, I am related irl to ancient scythians, cimmerians, Alan's so I guess it not to much of a stretch.
Since Howard himself gave no indication of how to pronounce this name, please educate us savages. How should it be pronounced and where is your research.
@@yaboiglob7209 Crom isn’t associated with Valhalla that’s from the movies. In the original books the Frost Giant Ymir is the god who reigns in Valhalla and his worshipers the Nordheimer battle so that they could one day join him in his hall.
Conan: "Then the hell with you!"
Crom: *prayers answered*
I was just thinking about that. It feels like Conan was scamming Crom into giving him a blessing.
That's correct....a cimerian oath it's not something soft...so..grant me revenge ...and if you don't listen...the hell with you ...
BY CROM, not Chrome 😒

Glad I'm not alone.
James? Did you mean Jason?

Honestly, wouldn't even call him cruel given how he is and his actions compared to the Vast Majority of Gods in... Everything and Anywhere.
Canon: If you don't listen to hell with
you
CROM: 🤣🏔
Conan: If you don't listen, then to Hell with you!
Crom: Oh? Ohhhhh I like this one!
Crommm gets my daily prayer
Crom is a god I could believe in
The mindset of Cimmerians when it comes to praying to Crom is simple.
"He gave us the strength to slay and survive at birth. Who are we to question him by asking for more?"
"You pray to the gods? That's gay, dude..."
sounds like AI voice is struggling to pronounce Crom.
It was, I mended it in the long format video about the Cimmerians :)
"By the power of Google! I have the power!!!"
Oh, Crom. Gotcha.
"Re-launch Crom to install critical updates"
Wrong. Chrome is a hard, shiny metal that is an alloy of chromium, used on hubcaps, motocycle exhaust pipes and furnishings.
If you aren't too spend the time to find all the images and make all the edits, why can't you spend 10 seconds finding out how to properly pronounce the name of the subject of the video?
It's probably AI. But yeah, it's annoying.
Sword and sorcery and heavy metal YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Sounds like Harlan Ellison and I LOVE IT.
CROM not chrome!!
We made sure to get the names correctly in the previous video :)
I love Conan the barbarian
prayer is a sign of weakness because your getting on your knees asking someone else. crom reminds me of me 😂
Chicago style service...
My Shepherd's name is Crom. He's a good boy.
Crom, (KRAHM) Dark lord of the Mound gives a man life and will, what he chooses to do with them is up to him. Luckily, Conan got the frickin "wil bucket" dumped out on him!
Before there was Khorne, there was Crom.....
Don't waste your prayers on Crom it is better to venerate your ancestors.
Crom is on Grindr tho 🤷♂️
Yeah Crom is with a short o, like dog or octopus, not long o like chrome.
Conan the barbarian is one of the best books and comics I have ever read
Okay honestly after hearing this I just realized how much Crom basically how I picture god.
What use is it to call upon Crom? He is a loveless god, best not to call his attention to you for Crom will send you dooms.
You pray to Crom for courage. While he may be pissed and grumpy, he will send courage to mighty warriors
Hey UA-cam! Give me more of this cool shit on my feed!
Bless carry Olson I was only 1 hour rdy born on tha battlefield
So a god the knows humans inner strength is more powerful than power of diety
Is this a tts? cause its not chrome, lolol
I cannot find anywhere that Robert E Howard wrote how to pronounce Crom.
Crom the belief that man is god and that man is no God. The thin edge of belief and no belief. 😮
I love Conan and I'm not trying to get into war with AI but it's Crom not Chrome this ain't a Trace Adkins song or a road warriors movie
Crom....
The god Chrome? Is that Google's new thing?
Yes, but what is the riddle of steel?
IT CROM NOT CHROME!
You fucked up the pronunciation. Credibility lost
👍🏻By Crom! This i type of religion or spiritual system, ide fit right in with cimmerians. But hey, I am related irl to ancient scythians, cimmerians, Alan's so I guess it not to much of a stretch.
Just like Yahweh from Genesis 2 onward...
This
Ugh. AI art always puts me off shorts like these.
The Norseman Caelan Erikson defeats Conan the Cimmerian 8/10 times
who?
?
Not much different from whatever God that we have now
Little boy learn proper pronunciation

Crom is an old name for Cronos. So the Cimmerians venerated Saturn aka Shiva.
crom will cast you from Valhalla and laugh

Why would you call Crom a chad???? That’s like the furthest thing from Crom. People would sacrifice babies in his name.
