Stop quoting memes. It's fucking disgusting

What meme am i quoting?

Get fucked

Fuck off Yea Forums you should know better than anyone that one shitty movie doesn't kill a franchise

>retroactively undermines the rest of the franchise
How?

I wasnt talking about the movie.

What?

Didn't Hellboy die a while ago? Did he come back?

>entire series keeps hammering in and yammering on about Ragnarok and Hellboys destiny
>its just rushed awful shit
>all that build up was for nothing.

The comic is still good, if you think otherwise you aren't paying attention.

The entire thing has been reduced to shit jsut from the DYK alone. There's really no point in going over it, since the entire thing has been undermined as OP says.

All the characters dying in an incoherent rushed shitty mess isnt good.

The series ended with Hellboy goes to hell

Hellboy in Hell itself is undermined by the fact that he just comes back anyway.

He comes back to die again.

>Yea Forums shitter is still at it spamming threads like a bad movie is the end of the fucking world

Please explain the ending.

It's just one Serbian autist. He's been at it for days now.

I stopped reading when hellboy went to hell and I was satisfied there

stop whining

This isn't the first series to hit "it should have ended here" syndrome. Just do what I did when reading FABLES and pretend all the shit post The Adversary's fall didn't happen

Nobody knows who the fuck that is, you sperg.

It's some kind of autistic construct of a person they've made for themselves to justify attacking anyone who isn't riding Mignola's cock like they are. Ignore it and laugh at their insanity.

Am I going crazy or has this thread happened before? Today I mean.

It's happening in like four+ iterations as we speak. Try to keep up.

I can't be arsed to keep up with every thread on co, I'm at work now. Just tell me if any of them ever turn out worthwhile.

Welcome to the world of the Mignola-obsessed autist, who acts like the movie just fucked his mum up the ass til she shat the bed

>he's still going
You do realize that literally no one supports you in this, right?

As other user pointed out:

>MIGNOLA IS A HAAAACK HE SGHIT TALKED GDT!!!!

No, he never ever shit talked GTD, just said that they were different from the comics. He along with GTD tried to get the third movie done, but the studio didn't allowed, because of that he decided to reboot and asked GDT to direct it (GDT said that he was busy and had other interests), Pearlman said that he would only be back with GDT.

Because of that they hired new people.


>MIGNOLA IS A HAAAAAAACK BECAUSE COMIC WRITERS GOT NO MONEY WITH THE MOVIE

Mignola doesn't own the movie rights, he sold them on the 90s, way before those writers worked for him. Both GDT movies were done under the same contractual procedure. So once again, Mignola is not shitting on the creators, he literaly can't do anything about that legaly as the rights don't belong to him.


>MIGNOLA IS A HAAAAAAAAACK BECAUSE HE SAID THAT THE MOVIE WASN'T SHIT

He is literaly obligated by contract to not do that and give his support. Even Moore was victim of this with Watchmen, and some old actors of Ghostbusters had to be blackmailed with the potential of a lawsuit if they choose to not be or endorse the movies.

Also Ereshkigal lunatic admited to be doing these threads.

But I think that it's just the work of shitposters, who think that shitting on Mignola could become the new epic meme.

Why are talking about the fucking movie you obsessed sperg, we're talking about the comic. Nobody even mentioned Mignola. What the fuck is wrong with you?

Don't be mad about the truth.

As I've said before; all of the Mignola fans have lost their minds and have started an autistic board crusade against their own perceived boogeymen, ruining threads left and right.

It's probably the worst I've ever seen from a set of fans on this board. It honestly makes our regular east vs west threads seem reasonable.

Mignolafags and samuraijackfags just proved that we should never put anything as high regard on Yea Forums liek that again. We should ghave listened to /pol/ and be more selective with who we let post on this board. These inbreds will spend every waking moment being shills defending utter shit.

Whilst I wouldn't go as far as becoming like /pol/, I agree that we should never be as defensive over an IP as we had we Hellboy. It fosters this Tumblrlike safespace group of drooling mongoloids who can only think in terms of "MUH creator good u bad for not liking them REEEEEEE."

They are trying to say it's about the comic but that been out for yonks now and the Mingnolaverse thread was over weeks ago

Mignola miraculously managed to destroy his entire decades-long work in under a year, and now both he and his fans are playing desperate damage control to try and maintain some degree of relevancy from when this is all over.

True. Why we weren't raided by these autists when the comic was out, and only now this happens?

We had people being pissed off regarding the DYK for months, user. This, and all the bullshit Mignola has pushed regarding it, are just the icing upon the garbage cake.

Wut?
I consider myself to be a hellboy fan what did they do? It seems like someone didn't send me the memo.

Yikes

user, I use the board, and I known that you are bulshiting. We didn't had daily spams about DYK, even less with the crazy inflamatory fanatism of the people in this thread.

Bit anticlimactic too but only ever so mildly.

>I consider myself to be a hellboy fan what did they do?
Mignola specifically burnt bridges with GDT, fucked over his fellow co-creators, and when given reign over the very ending of the entire storyline, he shat the bed to the point where the bed literally can't handle anymore shit.

His fans are taking the dick at maximum speed, and are defending and making excuses for every shitty action the man has ever made thus far, as well as lobbing ad hominem attacks at all who aren't on their side of the divide.

How many threads do you faggots need?

It was the tipping point, the straw that broke the perverbial camels back if you would.

The movie being pure dogshit and also Mike having turned out to have lied about it the whole time just broke everything completely. What Mike said specifically today also paints him in a negative light in the comic space makes me at least doubt his integrity and honesty and how he's been going about running them.

You clearly weren't in the threads then. People were already up and dusting themselves of the Mignolaverse at that time, and many were very disappointed and disincled to continue once literally everyone ended up dying in truly pathetic fashion.

Abe getting his spine snapped in two panels may as well have been the straw that (literally) broke the camel's back.

Well now I guess I should be anger about things too now but meh I don't care.

except every time they hinted his destiny they also hinted he would not follow it and that the events would still happen he just wasn't responsible for them

I've cycled through anger, abject disappointment, anger again, and I believe I've finally achieved a state of total apathy. If Mignola wants to ruin literally everything that brought him to relevancy, and shit upon all those people who put faith in him (even if a stupid amount of them are still gulping it all down), then let him.

Don't this adress these points?

Is he wrong?

The Chinaman from Empire of Dust.

Oh, right.

I actually forgot, i just like the phrase, it sums up how i feel about things pretty good.

He is so thoroughly and completely wrong about everything that you'd find it genuinely hard to find a post more wrong.

A good portion if that post is literally just him making excuses for his ad hominem attacks against the people rightfully calling Mignola out.

I think I'm gonna miss Strode and Howards most of all. They were right up there with Roger.

So what proof you have? I want to see it.

Post the quote where he shitted on Del Toro.

If you are so invested in mignola's books that him shitting the bed sends you on a never ending tantrum then you might just be a mignolafag yourself and no amount of shitposting will wash that autism off you

That sounds like it was an amazing time. How badly did he breakdown by the end of it?

As far as concerned, The Devil You Know never happened. It's that bad. The series has a decent ending with the death of the Ogdru Jahad. I have all the hardcover omnibii except the yet to be released DYK, which I won't buy.

As for the movie, half of it was OK and at least Damio had a happy ending. It just had a really bad third act,

That was one of seven heads with a lot of loose ends. You're dumb.

Getting defensive there.

And yet it's STILL a better ending than "herpaderp we kill all characters now derpaderpderp." That's how absolutely godawful DYK is.

As somebody who hasn't read the rest of BPRD and treat Hellboy in Hell as the end of the Mignolaverse, someone redpill me on what happened in DKY that's got everyone so riled up?

People started laughing at him when they noticed the post he screencapped for the op was only made a few minutes ago and he gave himself a hernia trying to say it wasn’t cape because it was pulp, as if it’s a clear line in the sand between the two genres and not a matter of personal priorities.

I can’t find it in the archives but it was about September last year or so. Definitely late 2018.

But everybody was going to die anyway in Hellboy. It was foreshadowed many times.

Responding to yourself again?

Search for it. As long as it is an.opportunity to shit on hellboy and mignola fans I'm in.

user, there are pretty big distinctions between Pulp and super heroes. Do you think that Indiana Jones is a super hero? Conan?

We were expecting the end to have as much buildup as was necessary for such a final piece to Hellboy's tale. Not the literal ass-pulling wet-fart diarrhea we got shafted with.

>what is execution

Hellboy is actually pretty good imo, especially if you mostly just focus on the short stories. It’s overrated, but that doesn’t make it bad.

I’m not saying there’s no difference between them, I’m just saying there’s a large overlap and there’s some characters who qualify for both. Indiana Jones is pure pulp, but it becomes a lot murkier when it comes to Conan. I won’t pretend to be an authority on either genre.

Okay first off that second one was by me, nobody "BTFO" me in that thread, and you just completely lied about what happened.

The comic ruined itself, user.

Not about the movie, faggoto.

It was as though the writer made a list of popular, long running characters and started unceremoniously killing them off. Plus, just when it seemed things were looking up, Rasputin reappears with no warning whatsoever and is now empowered by the Ogdru Jahad. Characters start randomly exploding or even dying off panel and the few survivors have to head underground. The last issue isn't out yet but very few named characters are left alive.

Sounds metal. I will check it out.

Yes. A sharp downturn in quality, a mediocre second half that dragged on for years and an incredibly shit and "anticlimatic xddd" ending.

I like Mignola's artwork and I always will. That doesn't salvage his actions though.

You seem to have the same writing style as that guy.

I guess there really is no such thing as a good memory or thing, is there? Something taints them all in the end.

>they are going to make a Hellboy movieverse
>claim Hellboy is dead

Ok lol

What do you mean by dead exactly?

In the comics, yeah he's dead literally and now the comics are dead too. Movies? Not literally, but its going to bomb fucking hard and lose millions of dollars, Hellboy is finished as a cinematic franchise after this for good.

They movie left room for a sequel, we will get one.

They arent edning the comics.

If the comics are dead someone should probably tell Fegredo that because he's drawing a new Hellboy comic right now

No we fucking wont you retard, its going to bomb financially, it released to no fanfare, shit reviews, with zero marketing, right after Shazam, Captain Marvel, and immediately before Avengers Endgame.

BRPD is miles better. Really worth a read.

I know that feel, although I read it as an adult. I'm more upset about BRPD getting dragged into this shitshow ending then HB though.

Well. That is interesting.

>They movie left room for a sequel, we will get one.
Hahahahahahahaha

I don't know about that. It's flopping. I don't know why they decided to reboot it into the Storm and the Fury storyline. The books don't lend themselves as a movie. Too convenient plotpoints and too many moving pieces. I'm honestly seeing why del Tero decided to take elements when he decided to adapt the Seed of Destruction storyline.

Is the problem adapting Storm and the Fury or is the problem hiring a Syfy writer?

Bit of both. The storyline has too much setup. I also don't think that Alice is that much of a good character.

Hellboy has all the mood and nuance. BPRD is a good team book. Most of the world building is in Hellboy, Inhave no idea how you missed it.

Should've done a trilogy that is like a "soft reboot" of Hellboy 2's ending.

>Movie 1 : Hellboy has left the BPRD and has sporadics contacts with his friends. Mostly adapt Darkness Calls, maybe with some tweaks (like giving Vasilisa a bigger role, directly opening with the short story on how Hellboy shot Baba Yaga the first time they met, maybe sprinkling Astaroth on top of the whole thing).
>Movie 2 : Adapt the Storm and the Fury, open with a condensed version of the Corpse to introduce Alice, then do the arc in a classic way with Morgan, Merlin, Gruagach, perhaps some BPRD reference, ends with Nimue killing Hellboy)
>Movie 3 : Hellboy in Hell, except Astaroth isn't disposed of like a bitch by a big fish.

It really wasn't that complicated.

Why do you care so much?

/pol/ is the entire reason this site went to shit you newfag. Everyone floods /pol/ and then comes here talking about shit they don't bother looking into.

Anyone who defends /pol/ is from /pol/. Respectfully sir, you've been baited.

>Hellboy ends not with a bang
>but by completely and utterly destroying itself in a giant shitty mess that retroactively undermines the rest of the franchise
So a bang then.

The should have gone with a changed version of the Conqueror Worm.

Because Hellboy was my favorite comic you fucking ass. What more do i need?

Thats what Hellboy 3 was going to be.

>Was
It isn't anymore? Hellboy is still my favorite comic.

I mean that's the comic I probably would have based a movie if I wasn't forced to do something original. I mena sure one would change some things around but yeah. It's a good base. I get why they went with Fegredo arc and inserted more BPRD stuff though.

What would everbody else here choose to base a Hellboy movie around if you were put in charge?

The ending retroactively spoils a lot of the comic.

Its still great, but now everything tied to this exact specific moment in the continuity is tainted by how bad it is because all that build up, foreshadowing, flash forwarding, prophecy, destiny shit all led this wimpy shit. And that foreshadowing/prophecy shit happens in lot of the stories.

But has it really ENDED ended? We still have some stuff coming out right? I mean I get where you're coming from and it's a good point. Suppose you could still enjoy things like the new Mignola and Fegredo one shot though.

>entitled

Why is it being "entitled" to voice criticisms when a franchise goes to complete shit?

Mignola is now saying he has ideas for post DYK. He said he has to figure out what the end of DYK means for hellboy, even he's not sure. God knows what that means.

Is he fucking retarded?

Because you act like it all went to shit like a petulant child. Yes it's lackluster, but you're over reacting. It didn't all go to shit at all. I have no idea what you really expected the ending to be.

He likes throwing in vague metaphysical mysteries. I like it. It helps keep the magic feeling like magic, and not an RPG rule set. Though it can lead to frustrating moments where nobody is sure what just happened.

What did you expect honestly?

>> I have no idea what you really expected the ending to be.
Oh are you the same dipshit who keeps going "but DeY SAid dIS wuZ hoW iT WUz GoInG tU eNd!"

Its executed like dog shit and undermines dozens of moments from the rest of the series that hinged around this end goal paying off as a result. Storytelling 101, idiot. Its not about the fucking concept of the ending, you retard, its the execution and how completely lackluster it is thats the fucking problem. Its bad. Its dull, its poorly written, its rushed garbage that just shits on what came before without any proper sense of pacing or direction.

Stop being such a sperg.

Shut the fuck up you brat.

It's not my fault you invented bullshit they were never going to do.

What are you even fucking talking about? Are you having a stroke? did you read anything i just wrote?

I could see the movie's shittiness and DYK sparking a new cycle.

No, you're a retarded little shit.

I doubt Mignola is doing it for the money. The comics haven't sold much in years, and he made millions off of selling the movie rights. He's just been doing what he wants, for better or worse.

He's a sperganon. Trying to reason won't work.
It's a shame to see that Hellboy threads will have their own Barneyfag for the foreseeable future.

So you're not reading anything im writing but you're responding anyway with calling me "entitled", a 'brat", and "a little shit".

What?

Also, what the fuck do you even mean by "invented bullshit they were never going to do", I'm criticizing them for their shitty execution of the finale, not for whatever thats supposed to mean, are you retarded?

He peaked at conqueror worm and it’s been downhill since prove me wrong.

Just amazed that you've spent days crying about this shit.

I remember all the snobs that acted cool whenever you would talk about capes and say that based Hellboy was sooooo much better and would never not be good.

Whose smug now Hellbabies? Your franchise is a rotten zombie pleading for a bullet to the brain. All you shits that went on about “muh one author” and “muh one continuity” can now sit down and be humble.

Im irritated that somethnig that was once top tier has fallen into the same bracket as stuff like Samurai Jack, i dont really get what you mean by "spent days crying about this shit", i've done neither.

This and Samurai Jack prove that all creatives have a “best by” date. Just compare early John Carpenter to John Carpenter now.

Senility is a thing.

You're a whiney bratty shit who built up some insane expectations.

The movie bombed hard and the comic is reaching “poochie went back to his home planet” levels of rushed anticlimax.

Hellboys ending being dogshit and mildly tainting the rest of the franchise doesnt change that its still better than 90+% of capeshit, user.

It still has a single coherent consistent continuity telling a cohesive narrative with generally consistent art direction where a majority of it is still well written and well drawn. Most ongoing capeshit is just the cyclical repetitious melodrama that never actually leads anywhere because you cant significantly change anything. I say that as someone who likes a number of cape stories.

What do you mean "insane expectations"?

I expected the end of an otherwise good story to be good and fuflill everything it said it was going to do without shitting the bed and fucking itself up. How is that an insane expectation?

>Defending Mike straight up lying that the movie is more faithful to the source material when it starts with Hellboy hating his dad

I know it’s hard seeing a person you’ve respected just not give two shits about the work they’ve made but you need to accept reality.

Mike is basically the old children’s book writer from Hey Arnold that lost her spirit.

I’m new to the whole Mignolaverse (read all of the Hellboy solo series up until the ending of In Hell), I don’t feel the need to defend Mignola for whatever’s coming out about him. People are dicks, people do childish and stupid things, and honestly, I have no interest in the rest of the Mignolaverse save for maybe Lonster Johnson or Frankenstein. It’s like Moorefags or Morrisonfags or just things like that. I’ll always love the experience I had with Hellboy, it isn’t evergreen but it’s certainly a treat to read outside of BPRD if that’s where the problems are from. I don’t know, just some random user. Enjoy the outrage?

98% of the fucking main cast is dead. What the hell does he think he's going to do? Have Hellboy talk to the skeletons of his friends forever?

I mean something like that could work for a while.

I'm pretty recent to Hellboy, not very far in the original run and haven't made it to HiH yet. Where should I stop reading if I don't want it ruined by Devil You Know?

There's a lot of good parts after the adversary's fall though.

John Carpenter's been a washed-up has been for well over 20 years. Vampires is one of the worst films by an established veteran I've seen. Only redeeming feature of it is Sheryl Lee being as beautiful as ever

I would stop when Lawrence Campbell takes over on main art duties, if you can stomach that shit, then I would stop when Arcudi finishes up Hell on Earth.

And that fucking Abe Sapien tease...this shit is never getting a sequel. This reboot is dead in the water and what's worse NO RON PERLMAN CAMEO that is the most disgusting thing about this whole movie you could have had him play as a background Luchador's just SOMETHING nodding to him he was the one bitching on Twitter FOR YEARS to get a sequel to this franchise and when he finally gets his wish they don't even show him in the movie.

Dude theres cape stories i love but the Marvel and DC formula is objectively terrible

I never finished reading Helboy in Hell or BPRD. I got all the issues then some shit hit the fan in my life and I had to move and put all my stuff into storage. Still haven't dug them out to finish it.

I gotta say the panel flow is a lot better than in the normal comic format.

It can say that it's going to produce great stories once the writers alternate off the book. Hellshit can't. Hellshit is dead and burried with an ugly tombstone and five years from now will only be known as that pulp/Lovecraft homage that aged like milk.

This is justice Hellfaggot. How does it feel being a fan of Fables 2.0?

Why are you like this?

So you have a handful of ok to good runs vs. a decade-spanning franchise with numerous spinoffs of good to great quality that only shit the bed at the very end... I think I prefer the latter.

That's what they deserve for

It's been bland for years. Hellboy and BPRD slowly rotting is one of the reasons Darkhorse is dying.

Because it feels really, really good to win at the end and tell shit eating fans that the creator they worship has feet of clay. It's like watching a thread of asshurt RWBY fans or Samurai Jack fans or Homosuck fans.

It's sweet like a fine wine and I'm going to savor it to every drop.

But you dont win anything.

A good comic ends shit, and big two comics continue a cycle of mediocrity. All thats happened is theres one less good comic in the world. Nobody wins.

I've won.
You've lost.
And nothing, nothing is going to change that. I really hope you're loving the end.

lol

But you didnt win anything. Marvel and DC are both gutter trash right now. Everybody loses.

It was mediocre up to Wild Hunt and after Hellboy in Hell became total garbage. The whole thing will be forgotten in three years.

Meanwhile people will still be buying Batman. And Batman will still have good stories.

Hellboy and BPRD are now Fables tier. And I'm sure you know how often we have Fables threads on Yea Forums.

This is the end faggot. Touch your golden calf and hug it goodbye.

It isnt killing darkhorse, like 80% of dark horses licenses being bought by disney is killing dark horse.

John Carpenter is still excellent with music, as his Lost Albums have shown.

They won't post it because he never did.

Why do people like this shitty superhero?

Why do you keep baiting?

Oh yes, because Predator and Alien were SO critical to their bottom line.

It's Hellboy going full retard that killed the company. At least own up to the fact that it was the weak link that did Darkhorse in.

Why do you keep saying "killed" and "did in" in the past tense? Dark Horse is still alive.

Also Dark Horse used to publish Star Wars.

Eh.. BPRD didn't end how any of us wanted to.. But hte move wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. I dare say I had a little fun during it.

Even with that miserable outfit for The Lobster.

I also suspect a lot of their current income is from video game artbooks.

This shit is so cool. It's easy to forget that Hellboy is actually a super powerful being, but when you think about his design, he's like an ubermensch goetic demon. With a heart of gold, no less.

Why the FUCK doesn't Samus just wear a space diaper?
I hate that it just kept going and going. Plague of Frogs was insane because it was so long it turned into an epic, then Hell on Earth did the same thing and it got tired QUICK and continued on for longer than any fucking Hellboy related series in history.

>Just compare early John Carpenter to John Carpenter now
Ridley Scott asks that you kindly HOLD HIS BEER!

I can name individual single issue DC books better than literally all of the DYK right now. The fucking Polarshield Project is better than this shit, and it's a book meant for young kids.

>Even Moore was victim of this with Watchmen, and some old actors of Ghostbusters had to be blackmailed with the potential of a lawsuit if they choose to not be or endorse the movies.

You know if I was in this position, I'd just take the lawsuit. Hollywood needs it's ass kicked or at least stood up too.

i don't have an image saved to accurately convey my disgust

he was freaking out cause Lobster walked through him.

i thought it was fine until the adr'd in "I LOVE YOU LOBSTER JOHNSON"

In what fucking world would HELLBOY give a shit about a ghost walking through him?

Isn’t Lobster Johnson seen as like a fictional superhero in Hellboy? I would do the same thing if I saw supermans ghost running around.

>Its all so tiresome.
Damn right it is - you've been posting this kind of crap about HB for a while now, reinforcing only your own negative take on the state of the comic.

Please fuck off.

This one. Aren't you glad? We at least got something on the big screen. Show some fucking gratitude man.

Can he at least pull the fucking art for the end?

He sees his ghost in Conqueror Worm last i remember and he doesnt respond nearly like he does in the movie.

Hellboyy is a tired, depressed, blue collar man. He isnt Deadpool.

No, because it isnt fucking Hellboy.

Whatever that thing is, that isnt Hellboy. Also, Guillermo Del Toro already did it 15 years ago, fuck off.

I didn't say it was GOOD just it's a hair better than t-posing. and it would still be a little shocking. it's a good idea for a post credit scene

I’m disappointed that the endings shit and the movie doa but it doesn’t mean the last twenty years was for nothing

That one wasn't comic accurate, this one got the blessing of the creator himself. Please learn to be respectful.

No but the ending the whole series was building towards being complete garbage does.

We'll just get a new ending in a year or two by Arcudi anyway

Shouldn't Jesus Christ (the actual Jesus Christ) come down out of Heaven and settle things at the end of Devil You Know? I mean, doesn't Hellboy take place in a Christian reality? And if it doesn't, what was the point of the overtly Christian Hell that we saw in Hellboy in Hell? Isn't that Mignola trying to have his cake and eat it too? You can't have a Christian Hell without a Christian cosmology, that's cheating.

I'm confused about this too. As someone who has only read the Mingola dump threads here, can any Hellboy nerds explain to me why we see Christians empowered by God magic, but we never see any angels or Jesus. Why does God lose in this setting?

Okay so what ending in the comics are we talking about? Hellboy in hell seemed fine enough of an ending for me. Was ther another newer ending that ruined that one? I don't know what you guys are talking about. Help me here.

Hellboy was never good.

I looked it up and found that the ending of bprd took place after Hellboy in Hell and brought him back? But what the fuck happens? Help me out.

There is nothing to be won, hollywood would still be a pile of garbage, you'd just be poor and broke on top of it too.

This last post-Hellboy in Hell run has just felt very rushed. Core creatives have been lost and now it's all ending in a fairly dull manner. I appreciated the way that characters used to die near-randomly in the past, because there was a sense of "this is the job" and the inherent tragedy to that. It was helped by Guy Davis' (and other artists) art bringing pathos and whatnot to these moments. But with this last series deaths feel beyond offhand, they're basically incidental. And in some cases they're almost hard to believe because they're so flippant and nothing.

I guess it's weird to read something for years, and then to get to its finale which has been prophesied (in fiction) and built up for so long, and have it make you feel absolutely nothing. I was moved by the last issue of Murder Falcon, yet this story that I've lived with for years is simply happening with no feeling at all

It being great is why people are so frustrated with it now. It's like if you read The Lord of the Rings, then in the final chapters it just went "and then they destroyed the ring, some folk died, but they ultimately won"

I'm less mad than I am sad

What happens? Jfc just post the summary. Who dies? How? How does it end? Wtf are the heroes even fighting and why is Hellboy back? Where is he when it all ends?

What happens is that many folk die in fairly uninteresting (in terms of drama, art, emotional resonance, etc) ways and the good guys win in fairly uninteresting ways.

It's "and then it ended" as a 5-issue end to an epic

Catholic god, humanity was already given their greatest gift, Iife.
Now humanity has to learn to walk on their own two feet and take care of themselves.

Tell me the details. Like spoil it. I'm never going to get the comic but I wanna know.

It's a goddamn disgrace.

>you can only say things I agree with

Seems you're the one with a sense of entitlement

But what about Revelations? Is Mignola just some Fedora taking frustrations out on his church experience?

I mean I agree with your point, but why would you try and disprove that guy with a page from what he seems to believe is the only good era?

Anyone got a summary of everything that's happened since Hellboy in Hell? Honestly haven't kept up with it

Everything went bad
Hellboy fans are sad

Big 2 win.

Did everyone forget the, like, multiple times during BPRD everyone was shown as dead, everyone was fucked, and Mnemnan Saa was like "nigga I TOL' YOU THIS GON' HAPPEN", and the guy really has never lied? I mean, I honestly was never expecting any kind of heroic deaths here, other than Hellboy's really. The world of Hellboy is one of never ending Lovecraftian tragedies, not heroics. Everything was fucked long before Hellboy ever died the first time.

Who fucking cares? A blow to comics hurts us all.

Not really. Only you elitist shits.

This Wouldn't Have Happened If You Didn't Criticize Doomsday Clockino

>can go repair the damage.
Does that suddenly make Bendis' run not bad? You're still picking and choosing the sections of the comics that "count"

It just means more capekino for the rest of us.

>but it becomes a lot murkier when it comes to Conan

Are you fucking kidding me? Conan is a sword & sandals barbarian fantasy character, he has absolutely nothing in common with a super-hero outside of the fact that he was in comics published by Marvel.

Pulp and Superhero are pretty different.

I think God gave earth Vril or left the seeds for people to be able to use Vril to defend themselves from darkenss?

The script isn't good, the direction isn't good, the plot isn't engaging because it just leaps from Hellboy en Mexico to Wild Hunt to Storm to Darkness Calls to Fury with a little bit of The Corpse and Seed of Destruction for the Alice & Hellboy Birth scenes. Also all done in worse versions though on retrospect the Baba Yaga scene before they actually started fighting was. It had one good scene, i'll give it that

It isn't coherent, makes bad decisions with the characters and the tone is just completely off.

The betrayal and giant slaying scene in The Wild Hunt is one of the most impactful scenes in Hellboy, where he just absolutely loses it in a fit of terrible violence and comes closer to giving in to his dark side and dark destiny than ever before. It was rendered beautifully by Fegredo & Stewart, and is a great scene, one that has meaningful impact to the story.

In this movie, it's done with quips and an unfitting hard / classic rock backdrop as if it's trying to be Guardians of the Galaxy, with needless stupid gore. It also has overall no impact on anything whatsoever and is promptly forgotten to chase after the next bullshit.

And did I forget to mention that this is the only depiction ever in any medium of Hellboy and Ben Daimio meeting? And that they just kinda bicker-quip at each other until Ben starts hulking out as a super power?

It's not good. It just made me want to go and read those stories it drug through the mud again, and they're all great stories so at least it accomplished that?

i've been wanting to make a thread asking for weeks but the few times i've tried it just got nothing

There's one issue left afaik and almost all the characters that survived up until now just got unceremoniously killed off.

Oh boy here we go...

Yiksie-dikie-doo!

Are you fucking retards incapable of reading because its been explained like 30 times in this thread alone.

90% of the characters die in a couple of pages and nobody seems to give a shit, as if Mignola just wanted to not write about them. Abe Sapien is killed in all of 2 panels and nobody mentions him ever again. Hellboy and Rasputin have a "im strongerererer than yooooooooou" fight thats just slapping for a few pages before Rasputin gets his neck snapped, then Hellboy bleeds out and dies for no reason and is a ghost again.

Thats it. Thats the grand finale they built up to for 25 years. Thats all there was. That was it.

How though. Why is this so hard?

They essentially just die. Theres nothing to really discuss here, they just kind of suddenly are dead.

It's like blaming a mirror because you don't like what you see, Imagine being such a retard

I'm glad Hellboy in Hell was the finale of the series.

On the prior page, Abe jumped out of the water in one panel and was snatched in a second, then this happens, then nobody mention him again.

Hmm. Well is there one more issue? Maybe they'll all come back as spirits? If Abe just doesn't reappear at all then that's fucking inexcusable.

I don't know anything about Hellboy but I'm assuming the OP is true based on how many replies the thread has

Yes I've read the series. How it's done is more important than what is done. Abe could die abruptly and be hugely impactful, not just an "oh, ok" moment

Howards' death may be even worse. It's composed so poorly it's hard to even know what's happening. He just gets sucked up by a worm thing? Imagine Harren or Davis drawing this shit

Then he's just grabbed/jumps into it? While others stand around shooting

I just got out of the movie. It's not nearly as bad as the reviews imply. It's too quippy and the pacing is a little off, but if you're paying attention to what the characters are actually saying and where they're going it makes sense why it jumps around. It's a much more faithful adaptation of various comics plots than the Del taco movies. The action is solid, performances aren't bad and it looks really cool. I really liked the intro with HB in Mexico, Gruagrach, and the last act with the vision of himself as the destroyer and when Hell is unleashed on Earth. Some great demon designs.

My biggest complaint is the daddy issues stuff. The pathos about man vs monster worked but the daddy issues felt forced.

He continues to just be on the thing. Unclear if he's in its face and that's why it can't just grab other people too, or what. They seem fine running past while he provides a mild distraction

Why is Rasputin so big?

Then dead

So dull and lifeless. For a character who was often defined by how dynamically he was portrayed - especially since he was regularly more of a force than a character - it's so boring. Could've even been sad in how random and pointless a death his was, given his history, but it plays out as an attempt at heroism that happens to be a mess

PoWeR

That's basically it

Is this the End of Evangelion of the Mignolaverse?

I haven't read enough BPRD to even know who this character is, but this is just bad draftmanship. I'm starting to see why the autist is so upset.

Why couldnt they get Fiumara to draw it at the very goddamn least

EoE is at least good.

>and so it ends for hellboy the way it began, in darkness

The Fiumara brothers are some of the best HB artists.

Man this is turning into some Space Runaway Ideon: Be Invoked shit. If it turns out the ending takes place in Heaven, i’m out.
(Granted, I was out anyway since non of my local stores sell anything past Hell on Earth...)

>fishy boi gets his back broken
>Howards show in a bad situation and then red with nothing
>no actual deaths shown
Uh huh. Looks like standard comics bullshit to me. Next you'll show me someone tossed off a cliff with no body found and tell me surely they're dead.

>EoE is good

Nigga this is the fucking second to last issue to the ultimate finale of this comics continuity, and Hellboy doesnt pull that kind of fakeout bullshit because its not by Marvel or DC.

They're fucking dead.

>and Hellboy doesnt pull that kind of fakeout bullshit
Yeah, and people don't come back from the dead in comics either. Hellboy and Rasputin and Black Flame and whoever the fuck else totally stayed dead when they were killed to death, right?

5 bux says everyones alive in next issue and Abe's in a wheelchair.

Not to mention Abe already died once before. Who's to say Hellboy won't sacrifice himself in exchange for his friends? Or some weird shit like that? Or at the very least we see them in the afterlife?

>Hellboy
Brought back specifically for the finale and he died again anyway

>Rasputin
Dead for like 25 years, and died again anyway

>Black Flame
You mean a title that is passed between people who died?

Hellboy is fucking dead, how can he sacrifice himself if he's ALREADY dead?

Also when did Abe die?

ok the only thing funnier than everyone losing it over hellboy shitting the bed is if it was a fake out and they got mad for nothing

>implying that wouldnt be even more retarded and shit

it's one of the few ways this trainwreck can become even worse

i thought hellboy in hell was conclusively the end, chronologically at least. i also thought it was a good end.
does the shit-the-bed bprd stuff take place after it chronologically, or before it?

After it, and it brought Hellboy back to life just to kill him again pointlessly, which pretty much undermines the entirety of Hellboy in Hell.

When is the last issue due out?

When he got stabbed and his spirit travelled back in time. I mean he immediately came back but still.

Couple of days from now. 17th i think.

Oh right. That shouldnt even count, it was immediate and was in the middle of an ongoing story.

This is the very final, ultimate end of the entire series. He isnt coming back, and if he does, then why the fuck did he die in the first place?

Why would you ever think it was the end? Grey even says Hellboy has tasks left to do in it.

ah okay, i've never read the bprd stuff and so just kinda disregarded it. i suppose i'll just continue to do that. it's just a shame it's canon, regardless if i acknowledge it or not.

oh right yeah. it's been a while, memory's a bit fuzzy.

Not him but the ending feels very definitive.

Logically, you know it isnt, but the way its drawn, paced, and the sort of emotional tone its going for feels ultimate and final.

>This is the very final, ultimate end of the entire series
Except didn't they say they're gonna continue things past this already?

>literally shown visions of the future with Hellboy being back
>and everyone getting rekt
>by a guy who NEVER LIES
>hurr y hellboy come back just to die agin

BPRD was fucking great, you actually should read it.

I always interpreted those future visions as being mutable, with Hellboy rejecting his supposed destiny and all.

But guess not. Whatever.

I wish Mike would make up his fucking mind, jesus christ.

DO YOU WANT TO END IT OR NOT ASSHOLE.

Given those future visions start coming true like, damn near instantly (of the world getting BTFO), why would you even think it was mutable?

Just because something is set up doesn't mean it's good

Those visions also showed HB, Kate, and fucking Panya (STANDING and -not- in a wheelchair) all in gear in a team photo.

They either forgot about that or it was a variable future.

The overarching theme of Hellboy and BPRD is the world is completely fucked and you're all along for the ride whether you want it or not. Hellboy did indeed fight his destiny, and arguably won, but it doesn't matter because even if he didn't ruin the world, the world was getting ruined anyway. Because the time of man has passed, and it's all HP Lovecraft's wet dream bukkake festival over humanity's corpse.

Have you guys actually seen the movie though? It's pretty fun.

That bit was probably forgotten. But hey, at least it correctly showed mutant Abe.

Not to sound like a bootlicker, but I do have to admit that a new series set in a post-squidpocalypse sounds kind of interesting. Kind of a Into the Nightlands deal. The Right Hand is all that’s left of Hellboy and is some kind of Holy Grail.

Or maybe Mike should just stick to comics about guys beating up monsters. What’s the word on the next Hellboy and the BPRD?

your two fathers would be ashamed of you.

>Abe Sapien is killed in all of 2 panels and nobody mentions him ever again.
u fucking wot

Mignola and Fegredo are doing an issue and they're gonna have some guest writers before going back to, sigh, Roberson

Also Mike is gonna draw a new comic at some point apparently, no idea if it's Hellboy related

Is he gonna keep regressing?

Are we going to get a Hellboy thats just a triangle with a solid red ball as a fucking head?

Bets on how the final issue will conclude the entire Hellboy story? I think humanity, Hellboy, the Earth, everything will just end and cease to exist.

all possible endings are pretty depressing desu.

I hope so, minimalism is awesome

Agreed
When is it no longer drawn by Guy Davis cause I'm not a huge fan?

>because they never truly end.
that's the opposite of a good thing

>When is it no longer drawn by Guy Davis cause I'm not a huge fan?
IIRC he doesn't start drawing it for a while, if it's the one I'm thinking of (I totally forget who is who). The artists change quite a bit through the series.

I liked it. I feel like the R rating hurt it more than helped it. A sequel with a more chill Hellboy could be great but I seriously doubt its gonna happen

If Mignola really hated GDT I don't think GDT would be constantly retweeting #ReadHellboy

Imagine a Hellboy movie paced like this

>some Humans survive in Agartha
>Abe's spawn rules the surface
Then jump cut to Hellboy 3000

hellboy is a franchise?

Or Mignola congratulating him on awards and wishing him happy birthday.

>rainbow patch
gay?

Yeah, that was my reaction too.

>Kate

And now I'm mad/sad again.

yes dum dum dum

Wait a minute, what the fuck?

Obviously.

>Abe dying.
Did everyone forget about the eggs that spew from his corpse or what?

Adaptation of the unused Hellboy 3 script co-written by Del Toro
Or a Screw On Head miniseries.

I remember when In Hell started Mike said things like "dunno if/when these will get collected into trades" "this is going to be a long-running but irregular thing" "I picture this as a series that will run for years, with small 1-3 issue arcs when I get ideas"... I guess it did go for years but it didn't even crack a dozen issues.
And I did like the ending (love the weird stories in the Screw-on Head collection) but apparently lol no Hellboy's alive again? Hmm

I don't think this is entirely the end of the line for Hellboy. I'd wager we have at least a few more solid mini's in store.

The movie being dogshit will undoubtedly have an effect on Mike, though. Exactly what it'll be is yet to be seen.

He could give it a definitive, final end, but on the other hand, money.

3 not 2

So they produce a movie every 15 years and comics.
But the comics are over now, so no more comics.
Anything else?
A few toys?

... I guess it's technically a franchise. More like weaksauce with a bombing movie.

Either way, I'm glad you guys like your hellboy. I'm sure it's hellish and boyish.
