It really warms my heart that even though Hellboy is destined to destroy the world, his father loves him too much and treats him as his own.

[@Johann_Gambolputty_of_Ulm]

I really enjoy this exposition, as it reflects how a child would imagine this story. The book is illustrated in ornate and beatiful pictures; yet Hellboy just watched a puppet show, so he imagines the whole story as a puppet theatre. Very nice touch!

I really like the imagery. Idk why but I makes me think of tim Burton animation or that flashback in Krampus when the grandma talked about Krampus

@Daniel Appleton that is true but would it actually have saved the film if they took out some like harry or possibly even eddy I don't think so because at that time the spiderman train was kind of slowing down what I felt is that we likes the other two is because we some what knew these characters and it was only one at a time we got to feel what led them to this point so I feel like if we kept it with sandman and we knew what he was doing then it might have been like the other 2 but it's possible it would have just been like the normal spiderman 3

[@bencebotye3904]

Reminded me in the movie to how they mismanaged Batman in the same way in Batman v Superman, likewise Hellboy 2019. Much like Nolan's Batman movies, Del Toro films rather lied upon the director style instead of adapting the comics. However, like in BvS, the 2019 film so desperately tried to use as many Mignola material as possible they forget that those stories told in an order for a bigger picture. You can't begin with your new Batman by adapting the "Dark Knight Returns", because you has to skip key stories to get there. You can't begin a movie series by adapting the issue where he died, because that is the most common in "Hellboy: the Storm" and "Death of Superman". They wanted to tell six different stories instead of featuring one good one.

[@matrixman117edits7]

But didn’t the angel of death say hellboy still would bring about the apocalypse at the end of the world ? A happy ending for the film, but not for the characters. I think Del Toro talked about how the third film would have been gothic and operatic. Damn, I’m still mad we got a reboot...

[@gmork1090]

@@matrixman117edits7 Yep. But we can pretty much infer the rest. Since he said Liz will suffer more than anyone else. Likely it's something Hercules related. He'll probably kill his kids or something, the world goes post apocalyptic, and like in the first movie he turns good again before he redeems himself and dies, or whatever. This is Del Toro after all.

[@emergency1725]

The structure was always 3 films. They just never acheived the means of production. Ron Perlman and Guillermo del Toro already mentioned in interviews how they wanted to conclude everything in the third film, but it will be very un-likely that it ever gets made.

*"Well, Mr Di-Di-Do-Do will have to say good night"* That's hilarious

Guillermo del Toro is a genius

Look at baby Hellboy’s big buck teeth! He was such a cute kid.

[@dannymoney4866]

We need a third movie 😭😭😭

Imagine being afraid of an ancient story about an army of indestructible metal warriors, then trying to convince yourself of the non existence of that army, then looking at you and seeing that actually, you are a literal demon.

Those two Hellboy movies were so beautiful. The cast, the story and the god damn costumes, even this intro, look at it! Hellboy is imagining it with puppets because he just watched Howdy Doody... I can't believe that they thought a reboot would be more successful than a third Hellboy movie. In the end they made a bad movie, pissed off the fan base with it and lost a lot of money. Here's to hoping that they learned and finally give us a third one! Haha.

In about 10-15 more years. Examples are how they're currently making 'true' threequels/sequels of Ghostbusters and Robocop and they already, poorly, tried to do the same with the last Terminator movie and make it a 'true' Terminator 3 when they should have just continued with the Genesys story.

I've always wondered how Hellboy never picked up an english considering his upbringing🤔

[@razorransom1795]

Lived most of life, later in USA. Must have liked that Brooklyn accent.😂

[@mesajongte]

He won't be as crude and lovely as he is if he spoke with a posh English accent.

Here after learning that Guillermo del Toro asked Neil Gaiman to touch up the “fairy tale language” for this opening

[@NetoD20]

Neil Gaiman's storytelling is perfectly matched by Danny Elfman's score.

"Well, Mr. Dee Dee, Du Du must say goodnight". Lol!

Rest in peace John hurt you are so very missed

Part 3 needs to be made! Before Ron Pearlman gets older!!

King Balor could ruled the world if he want, but he doesn't want it, in fact he's sad that humans get slaughtered by his golden Army. That's shows how benevolent king he was.

Oh yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or... learn from it. - Rafiki, The Lion King (1994)

[@diandradeeke]

the animation at the end is so cool

[@LilGamez21]

I love this movie. I'm glad I watched it in theaters.

[@dibmembrane2406]

The opening prologue was so powerully amazing to introduce the title of the movie

[@AmadeusStudios]

5:29 "those guys can't be real" Hellboy. The film franchise that contains a red, devil-baby; Nazi assassins that bleed dust; Grigori Rasputin still being alive; yet he questions the integrity of a story.

[@GNEL11]

If these 2 movies came out today they would be a mega hit, probably would have 4 or 5 movies instead !

[@sasquatchlives4261]

Probably not, the population has become a bunch of sensitive snowflakes….🙄😮🤢

[@micahbowers2562]

Truth brother

[@enomisv9830]

Love that the idea that Broom being a good dad that was set up in the first movie is further expanded on. In the first movie he seems like someone who sees Hellboy as his son, but not to the same level that Hellboy sees Broom as his dad. Then in the intro to the second one we see that Broom is a loving father to Hellboy and treats him as an actual son to the same level as Hellboy sees him as his father.

[@mattkingsbury9459]

The fact that Nuada is literally portrayed as a wandering samurai somehow makes him even more badass, especially once you see him in action.
