Is nobody gonna talk about how johann can control one of those guys and fought like a badass!?

[@shadowstrider8295]

So glad appreciation for that hasn't gone away

[@stevenwagner-rx7ew]

I think the army took the phrase "put yourself together" a little to literal

[@thedoctor4327]

While it is a "main characters vs CGI minions" climatic battle that have become the standard of the superhero genre, there's still a lot to like about this fight. The CGI has aged pretty well, the Golden Army's design is pretty unique, I like how the Golden Army soldiers aren't mindless robotic drones but have a degree of personality (i.e., confusion when they can't touch Johann, pain/fear when they get sucked into the bigger grinds), and the sequence of the first wave putting themselves back together is a neat idea with tons of little details I like. Really is a shame del Toro's Hellboy series never got another film, I would have loved to have seen what del Toro did next.

[@monstermaker2727]

I also noticed how each soldier was helping each other rebuild themselves, teamwork does make the dream work after all

[@m.t.fguard8309]

I feel like it's common knowledge at this point that anything del Toro touches is going to be a masterpiece and it's going to age so well. Even 10-15-20 years later. It's still going to be great and the animation will still hold up perfectly

I love the idea of a machine that can repair itself from _anything,_ but I’ve always wondered how they did this. What makes the Golden Army so powerful? I have a theory. The city seen before this battle is entirely deserted, supposedly because it began to wither once the modern age began and its population bled off, but I don’t think that’s the case at all. When the Goblins came to the King of the Elves, they promised him an army that could heal from any wound, kill any enemy and destroy any nation. But they never stated what the cost would be, so we’re led to assume they were just doing it out of the kindness of their hearts, but let’s be honest, when has a Goblin ever done anything for free? No. The King paid a terrible price for dominance, and that price was 4,900 of his _own people,_ bound soul and all to the gold and iron of the automatons as they were made. That’s why they can heal, why they never get tired…they aren’t running off steam. Their engines are burning Souls as fuel.

[@galaxydragon1234]

That would make a lot of sense since the one machine that gets possessed turned blued

[@TheCorrodedMan]

@@galaxydragon1234 One soul overriding another, you could say.

[@Predman1227]

An army of soul eating machines. That's metal as hell (Pun intended😏)

[@danangraph1910]

Agreed. Even more johann teleplasty shown that while it's powerful it isn't sealed/bound like the original soul. Thats why it return back as red. Their magical bound was so powerfull that no other method can truly override the army magic of restoration and soul bound magic. Goblin rlly did it dirty.

[@TheCorrodedMan]

@@danangraph1910We can only hope the poor bastards aren’t aware of their circumstances, like some other armies I can think of. *cough* The Flood *Cough*

[@cosmobane6995]

I don't know if Krauss was using the machines battle programming or he's indeed a good fighter

[@eligebrown8998]

I hadn't seen hellboy in a long time. Forgot the army could put itself back together.

[@fredfry5100]

You also apparently forgot that Johann (Germanic ghost suit dude) has the funniest lines in the movie.

[@eligebrown8998]

[@eyeseer1]

Can't help but wonder what would happen had Selma Blair's character melted the Golden Army since gold is a soft malleable metal for liquefaction.

[@paneledmeteor33]

They’d probably reassemble into one big Golden soldier

[@TheCorrodedMan]

They might just reconstitute themselves. Gold is malleable yes, but that doesn’t really matter when that Gold can reforge itself back into any component needed. They’d just reforge themselves piece by piece

[@paneledmeteor33]

@@TheCorrodedMan I think that’s the word I was looking for, reconstitute

[@danangraph1910]

They were bound by restoration magic. No matter how much u destroy it they'll always return. Even when you disintegrate it into atom. They'll come back. Had fire is a great permanent solution Liz/human in the past would already tried it. It would take longer yes. But not be stopped.

[@MyLateralThawts]

I was wondering this myself. Something to ask Guillermo if ever encountered.

[@Sitharos]

Since this movie came out, I often mutter, “Indestructible my ass…” when I find a way in MtG to take out a creature that is supposedly invincible 😄
