#Hellboy - บันเทิง
Hellboy, to my knowledge, wasn't a secret in the comics. He operates clearly in the public and is well-known to common people
Exactly! When he said that,i was furious.
yeah, in the comic, hellboy is famous.
No he was not, but considering most people get their comic book info from movies and games these days, Liz may as well be with Hellboy and all
@@ComicBookGuy420 he was in the comics tho
@@yobama6052 which one because hellboy in Mexico he was a famous luchador
The hellboy books in general he walked the streets openly, nobody was ever overly surprised or frightened to see him, especially considering the time the books were set, you'd think people would have been shocked
Selma Blair, who played Liz Sherman in the first two Hellboy movies, has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She recently gave interviews which showed her struggles to be able to speak and to stand. Let’s let her know she’s in our thoughts and we’ll support her any way we can.
I just looked it up and yes! It's very noticeable! Hurts my heart!! God bless her!
I loved her in the movies; she was always so beautiful.
@@nukamangaming8172
I actually by chance saw Selma and her mother shopping in Manhattan around Christmas time years ago. She is indeed very beautiful as is her mother.
My kid cousin is 3 years old with bad ms and her parents are dirt poor. Point being Selma is well off enough to not need anyone's help. There are however many suffering that do need any and all help.
@@nukamangaming8172Was? She still is despite her health
Also, fun fact, Hellboy is a direct ancestor of King Arthur Pendragon and thus, Hellboy is the rightful heir and king of England by blood
I am not kidding
It may be spoiler territory honestly since that's a relatively new-ish revelation from the comics
*descendent of King Arthur*
Doesn't he also carry Excalibur?
@@kingmuizz708 he did, but he didn't even use it. Just pluck it out of the Rock and handed it over to someone else
@@BawonoSA173 aw what?!😂 That's the biggest luck in the balls tbh
Hellboy is so seriously underrated. Love the comics- there is nothing else like them.
So true
Just like Spawn.
@@anonymousgoblin792 for real- he's my #1 of all time. I really hope the new Spawn movie doesn't disappoint.
hellboy and spawn, non- DC or Marvel, comic book characters.
But that’s cool part about it they can explore new ideas
Fun fact the creator of Yugioh Kazuki Takahashi was a huge fan of hellboy and he and hellboys creator actually drew each other retrospective characters in each other’s art style. Kazuki drew hellboy with yugi’s hair, the Millennium puzzle, and a duel disk and mike drew hellboy wearing a t shirt of yugi with the millennium puzzle
Hellboy and Dante would be the best of friends if they ever got a game or comic together.
I can draw a small scenario of that
Dante: *picks up ringing phone* "Devil May Cry…"
Other end: "Hello, this is Bureau of Paranormal Research & Defense. We have a proposal for you."
*Go on resume as how you like it*
I would love to see that happen, maybe Hellboy and Nero, (in either incarnation) could have a bout or two before becoming true friends.. or at least admit to respecting each other.
@@DaidriveCJ Hellboy isn't a fucking anime it's a Gothic horror comic cheesy stuff like that happens in Naruto and Dragon Ball.
@DaidriveCJ Not just best friends but true friends
@@samuelraji8343 Haha! Perhaps you have a point there, but such an occurrence/trope isn't _strictly_ limited to shonen anime and the like. You can find those types of dynamics in quite a few western works including comics regardless of genre or sub-genre.
CORRECTIONS:
That right hand was not to command demons, it was the key to unlock the prison of Ogdru Jahad: the comic's version of Revelation's 7 headed dragon of apocalypse.
And that hand was a severed hand of their creator, Anum the Watcher spirit
Also, Anung Un Rama was not his birth name, at least not technically. 'Cause that's actually a Hell language for "He who wears the Crown of Fire above his brow", his title as the inheritor of the throne of Azael
Hellboy is one of the most Badass characters ever. I Really admire the character and the backstory of Hellboy.
I'm so excited for the new Hellboy movie!
Do you Know who else my mom whoooohahaha best prank ever
@@moisesolazaba81 LOL that was a muscle man reference from Regular Show
he's amazing. one of my favorites
@@jarredmorris9749 yeah
9 on rotten tomatoes, good luck mate
For anyone who hasn't read Hellboy - do not go from the early years straight to Hellboy In Hell as this video suggests. You'll miss the entire leadup and sheer weight of Hellboy in Hell, don't skip those Duncan Fegredo years, the art is still amazing and Darkness Calls, Wild Hunt, The Storm and The Fury are not optional reading if you want the full picture and have Hellboy In Hell actually make sense and mean something.
So you're suggesting to read the entire 6 Library Edition volumes before Hellboy In Hell ?
@@ghastlybat107 You only have to read the main 4 omnibus volumes, actually. If you want to be a real chad, then sure, buy the Library Editions.
@@dylanchumney8223 sorry to bother. But i want to start reading hellboy. Is there only 4 of them i need to read to get the full story?
@@BillyMayhem2000 it’s no problem. The 4 omnibus volumes are the main story to Hellboy: Seed of destruction #1, Strange places #2, the Wild hunt #3, and Hellboy in Hell #4. There’s a lot of references and appearances of characters from the “Short Stories”, these are little episodes of Hellboy either created by Mignola himself or another artist he collaborated with. So I would recommend picking up both Vol. 1 & 2 of Hellboy short stories, because (no spoilers) some of these characters are detrimental to the overarching story and may leave you shaking your head if you didn’t know who they were. I hope that helped lol
@@dylanchumney8223 it did man, i appreciate it.
Liz Sherman isn't Hellboy's love interest, in canon. Only the DelTorro films. Unless something has changed when I wasn't looking.
Nope, only in Del Toro's films are they love interests.
Malcom Alexander so who’s his love interest
@@toren2099 Alice Monaghan. This was during the Wild Hunt, and The Storm and The Fury storyline(AKA near the end of the Hellboy comic's run).
Malcom Alexander do they have any new hellboy comics
@@toren2099 I think the whole series ended in 2016 or something
At first, I thought he said "first colored appearance was in X-MEN" lmao
I heard first colored X-Men
@@PACKERMAN2077 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆 laughing my ass off
I'm really just smiling at the screen it that's funny
I heard it next men
Demonic characters are always the best!
I actually found out about hellboy from the animated movie years ago.
That's the dopest intro which movie?
YoTwone Barker some blood vampire movie.
@@greyworld6242 Ahhh Blood and Iron! I love that one too!
YoTwone Barker yep
Anyone else agree that Hellboy deserves an animated series?
Finally, I've been waiting for years. History of the BPRD next please
Fun examination of the comic book character. You really covered a lot of ground in a short time. However, Hellboy wasn't really secret in the original comics like he was in the Guillermo del Toro films and "Bruttenholm" is pronounced "Broom" as Mike Mignola (as scripted by John Byrne) explains in "Hellboy: Seed of Destruction."
Oh, I thought he (trevor) changed it to broom when he immigrated
You forgot his invulnerability to fire.
Except when he burns himself on his horns
@@elijahbutterfield4869 Huh, When?
@@samuelraji8343 They're talking about the 2004 movie, not the comic.
@@elijahbutterfield4869 lol!
Don't mind me, I'm waiting for...
*HEAVEN BOY* 🙏😇
EchoTheWorld an Angel with a buzzsaw machinegun and the left hand of the rapture? ... that actually sounds badassly over the top
Keep waiting
Why not "Heavengirl", with the Left Arm of Salvation? To balance out Hellboy as a cambion why Heavengirl as a nephilim
@@BawonoSA173 left foot of salvation would be more appropriate.
@@AT-gk1tw ah, yes. You're right, a talon foot no-less
I've been waiting for this for a long time! Insane that you guys never got to this. You should totally cover the Darkness Calls ~ Storm and Fury storyline that the new movie is being based on, there's honestly so much more characters you can get into the history of instead of always doing DC or Marvel characters.
Much as I enjoyed the Hellboy books themselves I also enjoyed the BPRD ones, allowing us insight into the other characters
Hellboy is an awesome character. Total badass.
You are always so full of knowledge. Keep it rocking bub
Yes! I’ve been waiting for this History Of episode! Awesome as always!👍
Great video, I loved Hellboy since I started reading him in the 90’s. I loved both animated and live action movies, I’m definitely seeing the new movie this weekend even though I heard it wasn’t very good. You guys should do a breakdown of each of Hellboy’s allies and villains, he has quite an array of them.
Do history of The Amazing Screw-On Head!
This dude is powerful, as HELL!!!!!!!
Why is Arris so charismatic and entertaining? Its gotta be a superpower hes abusing
My reading recommendation for Hellboy: All of it lol
But seriously, I usually recommend people read The Wolves of Saint August before any other story, mostly because I feel that story is both short enough to keep people interested and still have everything that one can expect from Hellboy
Wolves is a great story, sets the Tone, as does Hellboy in Mexico
Fun fact: Hellboy: seed of destruction was the inspiration for the 2004 Hellboy film
I love the hellboy comics universe and I like the first movie so thanks for the fact
Recommended Hellboy reading: all of it!!! 🤘🏻👍🏻🔥
I just finished B.P.R.D.:The Devil You Know, which was his ultimate story ending.
Equal parts depressing yet fulfilling.
Never read a comic book story that lets you actually follow a character all the way until their true end. They always get rebooted, restarted, brought by other companies, etc.,etc.
I love the story and character, and have never had a fictional character leave such an impression on me.
Do you recommend hellboy for me I’m 14 I heard it’s for only adults
@@issa64yeah
Man,dope video.Thank You.I love the story and charachter of Hellboy.
Can you do History of General Zod please!
The most important part of Hellboy is he mentally is a teenager BUT deals with existential crises, not teenage angst. Massively important
Fascinating and awesome information about Hellboy.
You'll never know...
I might create a Hellboy Fangame, titled Hellboy: The Echoes of Despair
A Metroidvania set in another world with 2 heroes, Hellboy, a melee based attacker & Hellgal, a Alternate universe hellboy who is female and uses Magical Projectile attacks.
They were summoned into a world known as The Forgotten Realm, a challenge for them to team up & fight Monsters & Use their Teamwork moves to Defeat whoever summoned them and Return to their respective dimensions!
2019 will be a good year for comicbook films
Indeed. There's still HellBoy, Endgame, Far From Home, Dark Phoenix, New Mutants, and Joker to look forward to :)
@@cosmicmcmoon5773 same
The new Hellboy movie is trash
@@henryshu9396 that's what I keep coming across
Hellboy comics are the best. Love them
History of Danny the Street please.
Caught a pre-screening last night(South Africa, PTA), fans of the comic will LOVE this Reboot, I know I did.
Every time when I read hellboy’s dialogue I read it in Steve Blum voice in my head I can just imagine it and it fits it perfect for its source material
Ooh, when you say Steve Blum, do you mean the voice he used for characters such as, Spike Spiegel?
Awesome backstory and vid
It would be really cool if there is a team in a comics includes spawn, ghost rider(one of the 3 bikers and with 1 on a muscular car),scorpion(mk) and hellboy
Muscular car. Kek.
Why not all 3 instead of just one of them? And it should also include the Cosmic Ghost Rider
Oh, and John Constantine, and Dante (DMC)
Bawono Satrio Adi no not the reboot Dante no one likes him
@@toren2099 I didn't even specifying that one, you did
Also, I do. Don't @ me
That batman cap looks awesome. How can I get one?
Is that arkham merch?
So going back to this. Does anyone know where I can get them? :)
What are you talking about
Hell yeah!!! Your finally talking about hellboy.
Everything Hellboy is a great place to start. Greatest comic written.
Great video please do a Liz Sherman and abe sapien video next and also who is pumped for the new movie
I can't wait for the movie!💣😊🤙🏼
U CAN read minds, awesome!!! Keep up the great content!!!
Hellboy is my favourite comic book character. it sucks not many people actually read the comics. I spoke with a local comic book owner and he put the free seed of destruction reprints out for Hellboy day and not many people were excited or interested. I have all the Hellboy Library Editions. BEST PURCHASE EVER. so beautiful.
Great work
been waiting for this
Love your videos
Great video! Can you do a history of Silver Banshee?
Bro I’m a big fan congrats on being a dad I respect your comic book knowledge keep it up much love stay safe and healthy ur fan Luis
Easily the best nerd channel around. Well done, gentlemen.
I hope they bring Ron Perlman back for Hellboy 3
This video took too long to come out soooo glad it’s finally here
Great vid
Do a history of hyperion
Who
Evan James check comic historian
He did if just search it
I always thought if I were to make a comic series, I would make a crossover of John Constantine, Preacher, and Hellboy. Would be cool
I definitely prefer how the professor was killed in the movie to how he was killed in the comic. The assassin thing was so much cooler than the frog imo
Agreed, also to show that Hellboy does loved him as a father that he is
Also, worth noting that Karl Ruprech Kroenen in the movie is an alteration from the comic, who is nothing more than a twitchy & touchy scientist
Talking about Marvel stuff whilst wearing DC character merch
*you're an absolute madlad*
Hellboy isn't Marvel. He's Dark Horse Comics
Thank you
If you don't tell me where to buy that hat and T-Shirt I'm going to unsubscribe.
☹️Pls reply
My personal fave is the Midnight Circus, high reccomenadations
Oh my gosh Abe Sapien is my favorite character!! ❤️❤️ He was so good in The Shape of Water 🥰🐠🎏🥰!!
You should do a video solely over Hellboy's Right Hand of Doom, and his Samaritan pistol.
I love your beginning music brother
How cool would it be if they tied in the lore of darksiders to the new line of films and made his giant revolver one of those belonging to 'strife' death's brother and one of the horsemen.
Hellboy has a special kind of charm to it that no other comic book character will ever have.
I need you to do history of The Darkness! (Jackie estacado)
I rather like the idea that Hellboy doesn’t have one True Name… he has two.
Hellboy has legitimately cool backstory.
Variant Comics vs Comics Explained, what say you?
Robb easy,no debate
@variantcomics
Can you share the link of your batman cap?
Hell boy's backstory shows that even half-demons can be affected by nurture over nature in a positive way
I was expecting hellboy the wild hunt to get mentioned, it is the inspiration for the new movie
Coincidence that I got a hellboy ad right before this?
love it
He and raven can relate so much
You forgot to even mention Wild Hunt the comic that the new movie is heavily inspired on and a very important reading on the hellboy character arc
1:45 Ice ice daddy!
I couldn't stopped myself.
Finally!
hey variant, can I get a break down of Shazam’s list of enemies I’m having a hard time finding info on villains like Jeepers, Goatman, and other villains! I’d really like to know their powers and what they are all about!
You loud as hell I'm trying this at night while my parents sleeping
(No pun intended)
Before I watched this video I knew nothing about Hellboy but now I know almost everything about him.
If you want to read them, try the omnibus's
3 volumes
Vol 1 is seed of destruction
Good way to get into the series cold
Hellboy is one of the best characters
You don't got lovecraftian frogs
Bruh you weird
I love the music you use, what is it? :)
I'm actually stoked for new Hellboy the first movie seems to fall very close to his real origin story. Not really knowing much about the character then or now I felt like Ron Perlman played him his rugged voice was perfect for part.
The first 2 movies weren't comic accurate, liz is meant to essentially be hellboys adopted sister
She was with Abe in the comics
Also it was Abe who killed rasputin, but yes Ron Perlman was brilliant
Could you go into the history of Ben Daimio who is also appearing in the Hellboy movie?
Daimio is fascinating, mignola needs to do some more books
Got into Hellboy after the first two movies.
Finally😍😍
In addition to being a government secret, Hellboy being mentally a teenager / young adult is from the movies. HB is definitely an adult in the comics.
Can you do a history of molecule man? He is super cool and powerful
You should do "History Of The Power Rangers...in comics"!!
Do a history of IMPERIEX
- Hellboy ( 2004 ) = 10/10👍
- Hellboy 2:The Golden Army
( 2008 ) = 9/10👍
Thats weird I was literally just about to upload my origins of hellboy video and then this came out. Looks like im gonna be outshined 😂
Hellboy is the best I love all the movies
It’s official, I gotta read HellBoy.
1:26 you had to didn't you.
