>the people making this stupid fucking god awful disastrous, schizophrenic, deceitful trainwreck of a "Hellboy" movie unironically think Hellboy is a superhero
Fuck me with a sounding rod this is one of the worst adaptations of a property i've ever fucking seen. How do you miss the point this god damn hard?
hey i recognize those cheekbones
God I hate this poster so fucking much.
I'm glad we are almost done with the Mignolaverse, I'll put it behind me and just enjoy the memories.
It's already out?
>No Abe or Liz
Not gonna watch.
Big head.
Its coming out inbetween Shazam and Endgame.
AKA the retard box office suicide zone, the same retard box office suicide zone Hellboy 2 was in back in 2008.
Right? The banter is gonna be garbage without them.
Its a god damn shame what they're doing to Daimio in this movie and its such a waste of Daniel Dae Kim.
Yea it bums me out on one hand, on the other it doesn't ruin the actual books for me at all and I still cherish the fuck out of those and BPRD.
I kind of hope it flops and studios say "maybe Hellboy just works as a comic. Please stop emailing us, Mike"
When are the Hellboy comics going to end bros?
The problem comes in the fact that this shit overrides the image of Hellboy in the popculture, so whenever you look for Hellboy or talk about Hellboy people will think "oh the movies?"
At least the comics are ending so we wont get Marvel synergy tier bullshit.
Dollars to donuts, they'll fully ape the Marvel scheme and do a mid credit scene with one of them
>turning Hellboy into generic Marvel schlock
They took one of the most unique comic books of the last 40 years and made it the most generic by the numbers cookie cutter garbage Marvel-knockoff shit imaginable.
Why did this happen. What did we do wrong?
not soon enough, and that's coming from someone who owns all the library editions and all the BPRD omnis.
That's even worse.
Is Kate gonna be in this, by the way?
Personally looking forward to the beer
The limited edition beers will be released in the following order and feature different flavor profiles:
Hellboy - Maple Syrup Pancake Beer (6.66% abv)
Liz Sherman - Mole Chili Stout (6.66% abv)
Johann Kraus - Citrus Wit Beer (6.66% abv)
Abe Sapien - Indigo Blue Fruit Ale (6.66% abv)
Blood Queen - Cranberry Yuzu Sour (6.66% abv)
Trevor Bruttenholm - British Barleywine (9.99% abv)
Oh fuck that.
Why isn’t the tagline just “one hell of a hero”? Sounds better; “super” is unnecessary.
Because Hellboy needs to be capeshit, right?
We need to FIX Hellboy, right!?
AUDIENCES WANT CAPESHIT!
>Cranberry Yuzu Sour
I like sours.
>Liz, a shitty character is represented by a shitty stout beer.
nail on the head, whoever came up with these beers.
>movie and board game coming out at almost the same time
well, at least one Hellboy adaptation coming out in April will be good
Fuck off shill
You fuck off
Haha, lookit his big giant head. Is this a shop?
You just reminded me that Hellboy 2 opened one week before The Dark Knight and Mama Mia. One day Del Toro will catch a break, one day.
As shit as this will probably be the idea of Lovejoy being Hellboy's father figure is pretty hilarious.
>Why did this happen. What did we do wrong?
The creator stopped caring, we stopped caring about quality of a comic movie and now brag about the quantity of how much they make. In doing so we allowed people who have no idea how to run things to fall back on safe ideas or projects that don't involve risk because they know they will make a dollar off of us.
We live in a time were the risk of creativity isn't worth it anymore. Best thing that can happen is a total collapse of the industry to even fix this.
I've only watched the first trailer and it doesn't really seem like a generic copy-cat Marvel movie to me. Hellboy does seem act like one of those "dudebro so epic" types of characters, though.
Yes it's the guy from Hawaii 5-0
>quips
>pop music
>grey asphalt color pallette
>flat cinematography
>"superhero" shit
Its clearly them trying to ape the MCU.
The timeline is coming to an end next month. In like, two weeks, I think. The series covering Hellboy's early years in the BPRD is still on going, though.
So does Mignola have a dedicated hate-poster now?
Sad.
If you were a real actual fan of the Hellboy comics theres no way you'd think his fucking abomination of a movie is doing them any justice.
If you were an actual comic fan instead of a faggot movie fan you would give no fucks.
Why am i not allowed to care about both, faggot.
You guys on Yea Forums realize that Marvel, DC, Dark Horse and Image WANT to pitch their properties from the comics into media right? Why are you so retarded and newfag about this?
Im sorry could you repeat this in english and not faggot retardese?
What does any of that have to do with the topic at hand?
Because you fucking idiot Mignola WANTS TO FUCKING MAKE MONEY OFF HELLBOY AS A FILM SO HE'S GIVEN HIS BLESSINGS TO MAKE THIS YOU OBVIOUS NEWFAGGOT so who cares if the movie sucks? The comics remain.
Oh so you're a bootlicking faggot who thinks just because its made for money that justifies it being fucking terrible.
the comics also started to suck a while ago.
Oh those sound awesome. The whiskey was shit but I'm a sucker for spiced stouts and maple shit.
Ah yes, the Korean man that they got to play the Japanese man because casting a white man was racist.
>yfw you realize they cast Ed Skrein originally because their "Daimio" isnt even fucking Daimio, its just some random british fucker who can turn into a furry
epic af poster
I fell off reading BPRD when there were just a few issues left because it became absolute dogshit for no raisin, and I can only assume it's ended.
Was the ending at least okay?
Eh, won't be wasting time seeing it anyway, so let them do whatever the fuck they want. Hellboy's basically over, so they can't exactly ruin the characters with some half-assed movie.
Hey, he got already got an oscar atleast
It's...it's literally one week before Endgame. Fucking hell, it's going to bomb spectacularly.
What the fuck. Who even came up with this idea?
This is literally why we didnt get Hellboy 3, because Hellboy 2 came out before The Dark Knight.
Whoever is producing these movies is absolutely retarded.
No, there's at least two of us. I'll never forgive him for BPRD.
If he wants to make money off it this is one extremley shitty attempt. No one will see the movie, it's not just that it looks bad, it's sandwiched between Shazam and Avengers by one week each.
A brewery
It ends next month. At what point exactly did you leave? I'll get you up to speed, but it's hard to put into words how shit it became.
His huge head in relation to his body makes him look like a toddler.
Ah, don't worry about catching me up, I'll end up reading it some day.
I stopped reading when Devon got shanked.
The series had been awful for the entirety of The Devil You Know, though: art and dialogue just didn't seem coherent, and the pacing was schizophrenic.
Oh boy, well you should know Abe is dead and he was filled with frog eggs all along, Howards is dead, all humans are either dead or undergroudn with Frankenstein.
>the people making this stupid fucking god awful disastrous, schizophrenic, deceitful trainwreck of a "Hellboy" movie
Oh so you seen the movie, how was it?
Why would a movie bomb for being release a week before Endgame?
>mfw i stopped reading when johann became *a universal god*
what in the i say what in the actual fuck
Eh, it's no different than casting a Brit or Aussie as an American.
user the movie is clearly a piece of shit.
Its jamming like 9 different Hellboy and BPRD stories together, changing half of the lore for no reason, completely misses the tone, all of the characters are butchered, and its trying to be a fucking Marvel knockoff. Its going to be a complete mess.
It also looks like shit too, visually.
bigger, more hyped movies easily attract audiences away from smaller movies
unless they really want to see hellboy in particular or they go to the movies a lot, they're likely not gonna see hellboy
I work at a brewery and I'll let you know now, only 1 of those is going to be good.
Tintin jammed 3 different Tintin stories together, changed half the lore to fit with these jams and I doubt that Hege would ever do a bestality joke. But the movie worked did it not? Now I'm well aware that Neil Marshall is no Spielberg but that dosen't mean the movie will fail
But there is a week apart, people will have time for both.
>we stopped caring about quality of a comic movie and now brag about the quantity of how much they make.
Nah.
Everything was pretty cool in 2008, WB had killed it with Dark Knight and Iron Man was a pretty fun ride too.
Then things diverged.
Marvel put out some decent phase 1 follow-ups to reasonable success.
WB started cranking out pure, 100% shit.
Snyder fucks up Watchmen, Jonah Hex is wtf, and while Marvel is putting together a cinematic universe, DCfriends are pinning their hopes on Green Lantern launching the same. Oops.
The year after that, The Avengers releases and blows out all cape films forever, with Rises launching epic memes about its shitty writing.
WB has been #2 ever since and it has become fodder for trolls and fuel for delusional Snyderfags. Most of us enjoy good cape movies whether they come from Disney, WB, Sony or Fox.
>with Rises launching epic memes about its shitty writing.
No that was just Yea Forums autism
Both Hellboy movies did modesty, with a well regarded director at the helm creating beautiful visual effect and Perlman in the role he was made to play.
This stink-bomb is a SyFy movie with a budget, with television-tier actors and a terrible script.
It's a modern-day Ice Pirates.
It will and deserves to be an epic bomb.
The entire script for Dark Knight Rises is one of the finest examples of Complete Hackery ever used in a film. It is The Room-tier writing.
>But there is a week apart, people will have time for both.
The point is most people don't give a shit about hellboy
Its the kinda movie they'd randomly decide to watch between other movies they don't really give a shit about.
That's why its problematic when a movie comes out that audiences actually give a shit about. Because they're gonna forget that hellboy even came out.
When was the last time you guys watched the first Hellboy movie? Because holy shit it has a lot of problems.
Still probably will be better than this though.
Is it weird that I think Perlmans Hellboy looked and sounded better?
Big Red does not look good with this face ()
Why didn't Mike just sell the rights to Disney. Looks like he doesn't care
>Thaliadeathscene.gif
Holy shit, that sucks.
There's at least 4, me and my friend are very disappointed about how BRPD is ending.
I still get mad remembering that they tried to rush him off the stage with the music.
Oh no user. It's not over yet. It became even more dogshit though.
See, I was always hoping that he would die. Because he is human garbage incarnate. But it was still extremely disappointing when the moment came.
All of this movie's taglines are cringe
>Legendary AF
No. He objectively did. They forgot that Del Toro actually worked with specialists in make up and creature design, and that that shit takes time, money and effort. That's why the Del Toro movies still look fantastic today.
How much you wanna bet they didn't put Abe in the new movie because it would cost too much to make him look good?
They do that for everyone though.
They sure as shit weren't rushing any of the actresses off. They were trying to cut Del Toro off like 20 seconds into his fucking award.
>How much you wanna bet they didn't put Abe in the new movie because it would cost too much to make him look good?
Exactly 1 Dosh.
>Ice Pirates
Fuck, there’s a reference. Reset the damn clock, that’s the first time I’ve seen anybody mention that movie.
>But there is a week apart, people will have time for both.
Some people only go to the movies as a group activity. If you and your friends can only coordinate to see one movie a month or less you try to make it the big ones everyone wants the most.
>No. He objectively did.
Huh, though it was just me.
But for real the exaggerated facial hair on this "design" does NOT work.
>But there is a week apart, people will have time for both.
I don't know many people irl who go to the movies more than a couple times a year, much less multiple times a month. To do something like that, most have to justify it with two REALLY good looking movies being out at the same time. And frankly I can't see the 2019 Hellboy being the type of movie to have that kind of sway over people.
Nothing about those prosthetics work, not in the least the fact that they barely move.
Cosplay boys even look better in some cases.
Do you realy think theaters won't try to cram as many Avengers screenings as they humanly can for as long as possible? That they won't try to maximize their earnings from perhaps the most awaited film of the decade?
There are also other "normal" movies coming out they have to fit in somewhere. Few people will even have a chance to see Hellboy past its opening weekend.
Something that specially pissed me off is they claim they tried to make a more monstrous HB yet they refused to add the hooves. There are plenty of cheap hoove posthetics, or just add them digitally, for fuck's sake.
Hellboy is a superhero
Perlman was like Momoa for Aquaman, so different from comic look yet so god damn right
After how awful the hellboy whisky turned out, hard pass
Filthy Secondary Here!
Is this a prequel to any of the other Hellboy movies or is this the sequel?
>read the comics and find out
no
I did enjoy the second movie so I'm spoiling this statement/opinion in case some autist who truly likes Hellboy goes off the spectrum because of this post
It's relaunch
It's a reboot
>Is this a prequel to any of the other Hellboy movies or is this the sequel?
Haha no. That would mean we get good things. Like pic related, which as also a lie.
>Snyder fucks up Watchmen
he didn't
He completely altered the genre of it.
Ruined it for me. Your mileage may vary.
>He completely altered the genre of it.
no he didn't, Watchmen comic is a satire on superhero comics, Watchmen film is a satire on superhero movies.
He took the most important concept of the book, and shat all over it.
"I don't want to deal with psychic squidthings, I'll just make the premise fucking stupid instead."
The entire reason for Adrian creating the giant 'alien' psychic squid was to create an enemy that all humanity could unite against and have a chance of defeating - the fear of an invading alien army would force people to cooperate on a global level. Humanity can't unite against Doctor Manhattan because they could not win, and everyone with half-a-brain (in other words EVERYONE) knew it. So he took the entire reason for all the incidents and situations in the movie to happen and made them POINTLESS.
Making Doctor Manhattan enemy number one defeats the entire reason for the movie to have ever happened because humanity as a whole can do nothing against him, ever.
based
Del Toro is an absolute autist when it comes to special effects and makeup and shit
That's why I love him so much
Snyder didn't fuck up Watchmen, even if you dislike the film. Your analysis isn't wrong, but Watchmen wasn't what started it. Now Jonah Hex and Green Lantern, those were turds. Also, believing that Snyder could do more than make direct adaptations of comics (which as it turns out, he cannot).
Except threat of self-dying alien will worn out pretty quickly.
Fear of another Manhattan's wrath will wear way longer.
And no, Squid is not important you poser.
>which as it turns out, he cannot
objectively wrong
Exactly. I mean, he even managed to give Abe some ways to emote, even though the actor is completely stuck in a face mold/mask.
Meanwhile the new HB can barely move his jaw to talk.
Not after the psychic message of the entire fleet of telepathic, teleporting aliens imprinted inot the minds of most of the people on earth.
I can see you didn't actually read the comic at all.
>fear the wrath of someone who literally doesn't give a shit
You mean like the wrath of God? Yeah, that works well.
I did. Truth will still come out sooner or later when people take notice that there was only one alien left.
And then there is also Rorschach's journal.
Name one instance when "God" in real life was photographed, went on TV shows, shaked hand with US president, demonstrated powers. Was commonly accepted by scientists as a solid, objective fact verified by the fact of his/her/it's own very existence.
