In the West there was a Ninja craze, a samurai craze...
But there never was a nomad/horse archer craze.
We are talking about some of the baddest mofos in history. A horse archer movie genre would not be that different from the Samurai movie or the Western which influenced one other often.
Why did the Far East ever try make this a thing? Mongols have brand recognition thanks to Genghis Khan. Why aren't there like 20 westerns taking place in the Steppe with cowboys from MGM?
