Decide to give the new hellboy a shot

Brody Kelly
Man imagine being Ed Skrein right now. Thanking all these sjws for not being in this crappy flick
Carson Murphy
I liked it. But I genrally don’t expect much from adaptions.
Sebastian Ortiz
It sucks that everybody seems to hate this movie with passion almost, I loved it and actually read the comics so I felt a lot of care went into this movie but whatever the masses have spoken so goodbye sequel ):
Hudson Moore
It’s the same thing with dark Phoenix, the movie wasn’t that bad but it just got shit on in the wrong ways at the wrong times and boom, complete bomb
Lucas James
>>Hellboy thread to take the pain away
Hellboys ending was ruined, retroactively diminishing the stories of several of the previous comics. The movie was shit AND a massive bomb so there will never be another Hellboy movie. Mignola lost his spark years ago and doesnt give a shit anymore, everyone good involved with Hellboy has already left or is leaving.
The last, and final, good Hellboy anything was his Injustice 2 DLC.
Despair.
Grayson Martinez
It was most definitely a bad adaption, but so was Del Toro's. It's all about nostalgia.
That being said, I don't think either film is truly terrible; I would have never picked up the property if not for catching Hellboy 2004 on cable once.
Isaac Long
It is kinda funny and sad. Hellboy use to be such a promising and huge character. Now Mignola has crashed the character and brand so badly that even Spawn is more relevant.

>Spawn about to hit 300 issues
>Gonna be in MK11
>New movie
>If the new movie does well it'll probably lead to a whole new Spawn resurgence
What a weird timeline.
Kayden Barnes
It's amazing how at the end of the day, after all the claims of how great Hellboy was and how nothing could go wrong, Mignola himself singlehandedly destroyed any and all good will and relevancy it had.
Joshua Taylor
>a lot of care went into this movie
No, it was a complete turd.
>and actually read the comics
However, to be fair, the source material ( the end of the actual Hellboy solo comic before Hellboy In Hell ) was also complete shit: look here's a rando chick I just invented who is the love of Hellboy's life! Also UNEXPECTED EXCALIBUR!!

0/10 you're not even trying.

He was never better than a mediocre writer, user. People were blown away by the artwork, which is amazing, and really liked the idea of Monster As Hero which is a dime a dozen these days buy was almost unheard of back when Hellboy first came out.
I read the series mostly in the omnibus library editions ( Plague of Frogs, ect ) and it was basically just an average episode of Supernatural or KoKolchak: The Night Stalker where he meets a random mythological monster, falls through the floor, punches them while yelling, "BOOM!" ... very formulaic and repetitive.
And just like Supernatural it was very vague and hint-y at the start and gave you the idea it was going somewhere but they were just making it up as they went along the whole time and eventually it crawled up it's own asshole.
B.P.R.D. was much better written ( with much weaker artwork ) and had the balls to actually END THE WORLD going full Lovecraft ( but that didn't end up going anywhere EITHER ).
TL;DR Hellboy = GoTs.
Austin Williams
Never read this, despite hearing good things about it. Still worth getting into it despite people not liking the ending?
Sebastian Anderson
>Hellboy = GoTs
Zachary Hughes
>>If the new movie does well
It's a vanity project so there's a 99% chance it'll bomb.
But somehow image related did mad bank and got a sequel so who even knows anymore?
Zachary Rogers
You want my recommendation? Read eveything up to Conqueror Worm, and then fucking stop, dont read anything else after that point, treat it like thats the ending. MAYBE, also read Hellboy in Hell.
Jason Powell

You don't like Hellboy

Naw that shits gonna make bank. Its just a matter of how well its going to do.

Mignola was never that complex of a writer. Hellboy's personality doesn't make him that deep, and it's more about the atmosphere and art that makes the story so compelling. Since they're running on myths and folklore, the stories don't need to go too far to be appealing. I'd say the art style though did get weaker when he got his assistant, early Mignola was kino.
Logan Hughes
Opinion: The new Hellboy isn't that bad
Jackson Hernandez
>read Hellboy in Hell.
Why?
He blacked out and killed fucking Satan OFF SCREEN! How the shit do you even kill an immortal that's already in Hell??
Jaxon Wood
>Why?
For the art. It might not be peak Mignola (which would be everything inbetween The Wolves of St. August and Conqueror Worm), but i still like it, mostly.
Easton Parker

Logan Martinez
Thanks, I'll check it out. A bit surprising tho since the Conqueror Worm is from 2001 and I've seen people praise Hellboy for longer than that.
Camden Lee
... Yes. Its being made by the same studio as Get Out, which is Blumhouse.
I know he's writing and directing it but Blumhouse being the studio he's working with brings in its own audience was my point, user.
Robert Young
Theres good stuff after but it mostly all ends up leading into the god damn trash fire of an ending and most of it isnt drawn by Mignola after Conqueror Worm.
Aaron Allen
I see
Lucas Williams
Even if you listen to this guy, Volumes 7, 10, and 11 are short story volumes that have little to no bearing on the rest of the series, but they still contain some enjoyable work. I recommend skimming those if you desire more content after Conqueror Worm
Parker Wilson
In Hell was... It was something else. I guess I enjoyed it overall, but some choices like the one in your post, were questionable to say the least.
Josiah Myers
>>decide to give the new hellboy a shot
you only have yourself to blame
Kayden Price
Can someone remind me how casting a Korean actor as a half-Japanese character isn't also racist? Do Asians all rook arike to producers in Hollywood?
Noah Lopez
Why wouldn't it be?
Brayden Reyes
It's a bad movie but not an awful one. I mostly just hate it because they squandered the chance of having a Hellboy movie that's more faithful for the books and probably poisoned the well for any future endeavors, especially since the main Hellboy story ended not that long ago.
Jeremiah Rivera
Mignola actually salvaged the shitshow that was the Devil You Know. Him coming back for the last issue made what could have been a horrible ending into one that was at the very least decent.
Jeremiah Anderson
Using Get Out as a standard of quality for Blumhouse is kind of disingenuous though, they produce a lot more horrible movies than they do good ones if you look at a complete list of their films. If anything they mostly produce shitty horror films with stuff like Get Out being the exception.

Hell on Earth had some of the best moments of BPRD though.
Joshua Flores
Again, i referenced it as a built-in audience you illiterate spastic.
Michael Hughes
Del Toro still captured the mood. He wouldnt have made the werejaguar curse a superpower.
Owen Ramirez
Nevermind bad adaptaion, it was a bad movie. It was a TERRIBLE movie. What was good about it? Some of the art design was cool, like the Baba Yaga stuff, but that's it. The script was bad, the tone was all over the place, the acting was bad, the characterization was bad, the music was AWFUL. And the movie just sort of fucking ends without a hint of climax.
After watching it I wasn't surprised in the slightest that it lost money at the box office. It was a hunk of shit, and the kind of shit that's so bad it's good like Pompeii. Just pure dreck.
Anthony Phillips
>and NOT* the kind of shit that's so bad it's good
Ayden Scott
