God, i was so excited when they announced the next hellboy movie would be Crooked man. Fantastic story, great villain, incredible source material. Then the casting, it’s not an actor who’s well known, but I’ve liked him from what I’ve seen. Then the trailer came out. Now I’m thinking that Hellboy should get an adult animated series
bram stoker's dracula from 1992 matches the tone of hellboy more than the Conjuring. Mingnola actually illustrated the graphic novel that was made for the film
I would love it hellboys my fave comic character and your guys hellboy video about good stories ending made me love it even more and hearing your takes on bprd would make me ecstatic
Not to worry, bro besides, I looked it and Mike Mineola wrote the script for this movie based on one of his best hellboy stories. Like he said “if you're going to make a Hellboy movie, make it small. And the perfect story to do that with is my personal favorite, 'The Crooked Man.' Budget-wise, it's good because it's a lower-budget kind of a story. It's not the Hellboy origin. It's not Hellboy saving the world. It's not huge. It's a subtle, dark, little folk horror story.”
I think doing adaptations of the short stories is a smart idea. You don’t have to worry about the plausible budget of the gigantic myth that is Hellboy’s central arc. And you have no idea how fucking frustrating it’s been seeing people shit on this trailer solely for not being Del Toro’s Hellboy (which I still love). I know it looks cheap but I’ve still got hope for it considering it’s written by Mignola himself. Glad to see your back, man! You should do a video on Web of Wyrd!
My dream Hellboy adaptation would be a stop motion animation movie made by Laika studio and that will never happen but at least a regular animated feature would be nice... I don't think Hellboy is meant to be portrayed by a guy in a suit, personally...
The second trailer is way better. Both trailers got me excited though. Doing low budget adaptations of Hellboy that work more like an anthology series is the perfect way to make this franchise work.
This movie is a huge wait and see for me. I think there are reasons to be optimistic and reasons to have hesitations. I do believe Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden worked on the screenplay for this so at least there's that.
Stepping away from the Anung Un Rama stuff will be refreshing. I hope this leaves enough of a stamp to warrant some kind of sequel. I personally think Hellboy would work best as an anthology series with overlapping characters and threats. Like the vibes of the trailer even if it feels like a cheap The Witch but I'll take it.
I had pretty much the same reaction to the trailer. I saw the first two movies before I started reading Hellboy, and I had no strong feeling about them. Then I started reading and got sucked into the universe and realized that they have nothing to dow with what I love about the universe. In many ways, this trailer looks closer to a Hellboy I love than the other three movies. But I'm not getting my hopes up.
Ryan likes Jonah Hex. I loved you guys before but now I’m even more. I’ve read I think pretty much every Jonah hex thing on Kindle so he’s probably my favorite comic character
I didn't love the trailer, but it may well be that whoever made the trailer edited it to look like the Conjuring or any of that kind of horror, just so they can market it to that audience. The movie itself may yet capture the vibe of Hellboy perfectly, but they don't know how to market that so they go for generic horror vibe here. Anyway, that's what I'm hoping for, especially given Mignola's involvement.
ill give it a try but if they want a box office succes do del toror and ron pearlman 3rd movie. it could even be like 80 years down the line or something old man hellboy since ron owarlman is old now.
I personally really liked how hellboy looked in the 2019 movie, unfortunately he didn’t act right and the movie was a mess. In the first hellboy film of 2004, all the supporting characters looked and acted very well, but I still didn’t like Ron Perlmans acting very much. I think hellboy is genuinely very difficult to adapt, his story is colossal in size, starting way back in the 50’s, he’s not an easily accessible character unless you’ve already read a lot of his story.
Will catch it on tubi eventually. I think the only questions relevant to modern movie making are whether the production took esg money or if the writers are childless millennials who believe anyone that isn't them are somehow "toxic" for existing(?). The rest can more or less be done by AI these days. If they can do AI soda space wars, almost seamlessly, then the rest only really boils down to those 2 questions. Glad to see you guys back and active.
I think The Conjuring/Evil Dead remake comparisons are a little bit unfair just because regardless of tone or subject matter so many horror movies have had their trailers edited like this constantly to the point of being super misleading, and while I also really don't want Hellboy acting like a kid in this movie, it at least has the excuse of Hellboy being something like 12 years old at the time this story takes place unlike the others. That all being said, this movie is totally gonna be a huge turd. The makeup looks awful on HB and the dialogue selected in the trailer is really bad. Can't wait to see it!

PLEASE do a video essay about BPRD 🥲
I would love it hellboys my fave comic character and your guys hellboy video about good stories ending made me love it even more and hearing your takes on bprd would make me ecstatic
I'm still convinced the best way to do a Hellboy movie is a 3-5 story anthology
Season 1 true detective+heckboy.
Sin City style would work yep

Finally, another Jonah Hex enjoyer.
THERE ARE DOZENS OF US
@@boobootittleman7299 solidarity brother! ✊
I’ve only read one Hex comic.

I'd love to see a Hellboy TV series in animation, in the vein of invincible

I dream of a return to those straight to DVD animated movies, those are great
I’m so happy alpha rookie is back I cannot explain

I’ve been waiting for this video!!!!
Been waiting for this
Hell yeahhhh here IT IS 😄👌

Love your videos and this vid was great.
Was wondering if you guys have any thoughts on any other new comics coming out that look interesting?
Science fiction horror, they should film them like sin city
love you guys 🫶 always great to see you upload
The director also worked on the Happy! Series I never read the comic but loved the show
It's cool that he at least looks like Hellboy.
been on the look out for this
wait they made crank? okay now am intrested

Do you know that Mike Mignola is actually helping them on this movie
It’s funny he talked about Hellboy not looking as good when I think this actor looks more like the comics
ill give it a try but if they want a box office succes do del toror and ron pearlman 3rd movie. it could even be like 80 years down the line or something old man hellboy since ron owarlman is old now.
For another two minutes, it's friday for me too.

Hey ya. Made my Friday
Missed yall
Which volume of hellboy is the crooked man in?
It’s in the short stories omnibus.
@@boobootittleman7299ah ok thank you
I disagree. I think the make up looks way better than David Harbour.

It looks terrible. They should've let guillermo del torro make hellboy 3. I also wouldn't even mind another hellboy animated movie.
Del Toros movies aren’t really like the comics
Nice to hear from you again, and on the subject of this atrocious-looking trailer
