Krull was pretty far out there. Early 80s had a number of cheesy fantasy movies. Beast master, death stalker, Conan, legend, Ator, Sword and Sorcerer. Stuff like that does not get made anymore. Need more than a small budget indie for the set design, costumes etc... and not studio is willing to hang out big money for kooky, niche stuff like those.

it's a shame

I think they could still be made, the budgets even in today's dollars are like 1/10th of stuff like the Marvel movies that cost 400M

Those low-mid budget movies are really rare now and usually exist for proven auteurs, not for genre stuff. I think there would be a pretty decent market, though, for a new (not some remake) high fantasy movie that took itself as seriously as those 80s ones. People are hungry for something genuine without all the winks and tongue-in-cheek stuff.

I'm sure Netflix will attempt this at some point but will probably ruin it by shoe-horning a strong body-positive heroine and making the white cis-hero a buffoon

fantasy films were more common in general. think about how deranged something like 'Return to Oz' was. and that was a mainstream big-studio fantasy film marketed to families. since fantasy films were more common, they had more variety. something like 'Legend' still looks great in terms of scenery and practical effects.
