Hellboy - How to Fail at Infinity War | Anatomy Of A Failure 

Johan Nybäck that’s a PERFECT idea

Johan Nybäck kinda like a cooler version of Supernatural

Yep but like on Amazon or Netflix or hbo

Johan Nybäck yeah when those hellboy animated films were out I thought they were from a tv show but I was wrong. I would gladly accept that only if Ron Pearlman comes back as Hellboy.

TV shows are way better than movies because they have time to develop the characters and the world and show us plenty of different fun, interesting and cool things before the end so its annoying to me that movies get so much more love and attention. The only thing movies can do better is special effects and animation but thats only because they get more money.

Kill kill kill! 👹

Indeed

No offence but I'm sure not all the original cast could come back and it would have been ridiculous to have not made he story directly after the second movie but the cast would have aged quite a bit for the film to have taken place right after the second film an you cant just replace old actors like nothing so it would have made sense to do a rebute

@@nubetube2443 Why would the third movie have to be directly after the second? What's wrong with a 10 year time skip?

@@denisl2760 I would love to see a group of Old superheroes in just barely alive doing all kind of crazy shit, hmmzz lets make it

@@charilex I love movies like Red, they humanize their characters so much.

@@nubetube2443 the only reason it wasnt del toro was because the studios didnt want to give him the budget he wanted.

Then makes a mistake later when he flinches at being burnt. LOL

@@Phaota then flaming girlfriend blows up whole room of samael and he hugs her lol

@@Phaota He can still feel the pain, but it doesn't harm his skin. At least that's my theory.

@@Phaota Except he gets burnt on his normal hand and the hand that is on fire is his stone hand.

That’s writing, not acting. They wrote his character more charismatically.

I guess we wont see that fish boi

4. wasnt directed by Guillermo Del Toro

Pearlman was awesome. This reboot is awful.

The name del toro was not in the credits.

just because the specific person you wanted to play the role didn't get the role doesn't mean it's automatically a flop. If anything, it just proves you and many other's(Obviously, from all the likes) are pretty narrow minded and unwilling to accept any sort of change. I can say with full confidence that you and many other's already made up your minds on exactly how you felt about the movie, before *actually* *seeing* *it* Ron Perlman is great, but I'm not so petty to think Ron is the only person who can play Hellboy ever. It's misguided, unjustified and very petty logic.

Ahhh, if only. I still have a sliver of hope he might come back to the franchise one day. I know it will most likely never happen, but a small part of me has hope still 😂

@@codyt821 It's possible. Given how Ghostbusters: Afterlife is coming out later this month, it's possible for a franchise to return after a terrible reboot.

Exactly

Those are great movies, I remember watching the golden army for years before I watched the first

Obviously, you never read Dark Horse's Hellboy - The Fury series.

@@aiden_macleod haven't gotten there yet :)

@@Mojomanultra it pretty much follows the comic's storyline. I can give you a link to the. cbr?

@Dark Legionnaire ... Bruh

@@aiden_macleod Yeah,but The storm and the fury was near the climax of Hellboy's journey as a character.Seed of Destruction,Wake the Devil and Conqueror Worn were stories which,although pivotal to Hellboy's universe,never got too ambitious. This movie on the other hand...

And that's f*cking saying something

@@fredriksvard2603 there is. Thats why infnity war is so prised and highly rated, because it is objectively a great movie

@@itsgonnabeokay9341 I love Infinity War as much as the next guy, but it's not objective. It's subjective, even when masses enjoy something, or critics enjoy something, or film makers enjoy something - it would still be subjective. It's not quantifiable - and it's still based upon opinions, even when those opinions would be based upon facts, traits or tropes.

@@ChristianSandviknes no it is objective. You cant just say the best movie in the history of cinema is "bad" because hey its my opinion I can say whatever I want. No, it doesnt work like that. You can hate it but it doesnt mean youre right and it doesnt mean that the movie is bad.

Fuck lol

And those executives and directors are still detached from reality and don’t know what fans want. They only care about money, if killing people made them more money than making movies, they’d be doing that.

Hammer Addiction4u David Harbour did a fine job in my opinion

Hammer Addiction4u what does it mean to be a legend

Hollywood: I'm gonna end this franchise's whole career

@@simplyme9787 In my opinion (steering away from the factual aspects): a legend is anything that is astounding or epic; shared stories and shared words; people; places; things, etc. Anything can be legendary, even if the story or the words attached are hypothetically invaluable. The individuals who remember or cherish the person(s), places or things: are the people that are subconsciously, and gradually granting legends (in my opinion).

@@Mrforever34 well i saw that film, and i understand the reference, but, wow, jokes have gone downhill since my day.

Thank God I Wasn't The Only one!

right tone was all over like it missing parts lols

According to some other people, the Blood Queen lady is a character that was only brought up way later in the comics and probably definitely shouldn’t have been the big bad of the new reboot

@@aliahpersonous2893 ya blood queen was a more latter villain but Rasputin had already been done with other hellboys So it was either a rehash or do her cause u cant rlly do any of his demon villains like his uncle or father etc right off the bat. But she wasnt even the issue. It was the tone. and thin ass story and etc

Pretty sure that is just a summary of the books as well. (book compilations of the comics) Spoiler alert, the first book starts out with the Professor dying before it is even stated he is basically Hellboy's dad. Even after knowing the Professor was Hellboy's dad(from movies) I wasn't fully sure who just died until people said that they where close and I put two and two together. Lots of the comics are just throwing pieces together and everyone in universe knows what is going on but the reader kind of has to figure it out. Still really like the series, just get use to the feeling of not knowing anything that is going on until much later.

that's why it would have worked better as tv series

Yes, but Filmento has a point: when you have a character that is more of a passive disinterested type, you still need to come up with story/plot mechanisms to get him to be involved in the plot. For example in the first two movies, even though Hellboy was the passive disinterested hero, there was still a stronger sense of him taking action in the plot.

and it made sense in the comics, but the movie is a jumbled mess of cut and pasted comic story arcs that it doesn't work

Yes but here is the deal: Hellboy needs a character arc (example: in first movie he is a childish adult, but at the end he learns what is to become an adult) see? Those simple traits with a polished script could have turned this movie into a decent reboot

@@RudolfJvVuuren and he was more likable

Okay amazing comment I actually laughed 😂 thank you

Ok... That was hilarious. 🤣👍

😁😁

@Dark Legionnaire kinda a issue though, you are assuming that if something draws inspiration from something else that it is copying/plagiarizing it, however if we were going by that logic then almost anything and everything that is a better version of the previous version is a copy. I am not trying to defend it or anything, but it is good to note, also, companies thrive on competition, it is what makes them work harder and harder on their product. The star wars marvel comics for instance are currently in a decline as asides from there not being any actual competition for the comics, they are actually lazy, paying no attention to detail and cutting every corner they can by actually tracing lines of other people's works and even models which if you end up watching some of the more star wars related channels like Echkardsladder and such, they point out that one of the comic scene actually has ships drawn with the model stilts on them. Asides from that, I would like to point out that though hellboy is true to source at times, it is also good to note that hellboy also is part of dark horse comics, it shares the same space with other series like The Mask, 300, and R.I.P.D. just to name a few which were also adapted into movies, not to mention that dark horse comics also undertook the process of making comics for already existing films, ironically including once the star wars comics before they became a Disney property. By this point, it is safe to point out that while yes, Marvel has probably used some ideas from hellboy and other dark horse comics before, it is also good to point out that while most dark horse comics RARELY cross over with each other, Marvel has a comic universe like DC in which anything that happens in one comics may or may not affect others depending on story. Yes, this was wrong and I do not expect you to read it all or to agree with me, just thought I would bring up information that may get you interested in doing research like I did to come to a more educated conclusion, regardless of it either being positive or negative towards either hellboy(dark horse comics) or Marvel Comics.

@Dark Legionnaire yeah, I get where ya coming from on your points now, just a little misunderstanding at the start there, but yeah, the fact that someone has to compare a movie with another, more popular movie at the same is something which does make me wonder what the point is, though I will admit that there was a bit of a point with the constantly changing focus, the older hellboy movies held up because we did have a actual clear goal, as for this one, as far as I can tell no one really knows what is going on until it is pretty much too late, and then the fact that she switches from using a plague to kill everyone to using hellboy himself for it just does not sit well with me. All that aside, I would just like more honest reviews with people's personal opinions that do not compared it to [insert current best movie title of the time here], because it is honestly getting boring, like you said hellboy is more a detective fantasy type deal, where as marvel is more about all the things going on, from the simplest of joke characters like squirl girl to the biggest of figures like the celestials and the stones (which I am pissed about in the movies still because one, you cannot destroy a single infinity stone without destroying the rest which cause of end of the universe scenario, and two that the celestials are more powerful than entities like galactus) and will include anything from the simplest of criminals all the way up to the most magical of heros, there is no real comparison, infact the only way you can compare hellboy with any other comic books is in DC, not Marvel, due to the character of Constantine since he is pretty much the only other fantasy/magic related character in either DC or Marvel that is pretty much a detective, and even then he is not even a demon of any kind, there is literally NO ONE ELSE I can think of to compare to with hellboy in DC, Marvel, or any others.

The moment I heard that "The storm and the fury" a chapter that is practically in the final part of Hellboy and leads to the last phase of his arc was put into the first movie, I knew it was hot garbage. Then I saw the new design and that pretty much sealed it.

It also reminds me of BvS where it tried to tell many plots into one movie only to fail at it.

I think the best moment was the 3 seconds where you saw Karl Kroenen during the nazi scene. Shame that they didn't use such a great villain

@@Conan-Le-Cimmerien He was seemingly more comic accurate - a gas mask wearing germophobe as opposed to a knife wielding assassin. Sadly comic accurate doesn't automatically translate into good movie.

Was that a Persona reference?

SBR was awesome, the ending was fanboy-pleasing retarded but allows the continuation of the next part. I don't think this movie would get a sequel.

Castlevania II: Simon's Quest

If they really had read SBR maybe the movie would've ended up great...

I want an SBR movie

Fox's Apprentice Fans: you can’t possibly ruin more beloved franchises Hollywood: *observe*

Makes no sense, Hollywood is the one making amazing movies . Wasn't A:IW made by Hollywood as well??? Wasn't first 2 Hellboy movies made by Hollywood as well ????

Hollywood doesn't call the shots, it's the studios that do. Saying that would be the equivalent to game publishers like Activision "making" the games when in reality, its the development team of Treyarch/Infinity Ward that actually creates them.

@Vladimir AdidasBad example. Whay with how much Activision execs have been butting in on the development and mucking things up.

@@TheAkashicTraveller wait really? Shit I didnt know man. That was the only one i could think of. Didn't know they would stoop THAT low, but anything can happen nowadays. But i still stand with what i was trying to say. Hollywood itself doesn't call the shots.

A damn fine observation.

that doesnt work in a film though and even the comics are just him fighting gigantic entities lol

Why don't they ever seal the "must never be found" item in a steel chest, filled and encased in concrete, and drop in into the Mariana Trench?

@@notahotshot Concrete existed in that period? And forget the Trench, another dimension of incognisvy horrors could do the trick

The worst part was when the knight puts her head in the box. You can't have your villain proclaim she's unstoppable and seconds later have her scream her tits off. You just turned your villain into a horror victim.

Don't you get it? It's quirky. It's ironic. It subverts expectations.

I was never a fan of villains who start off already "dead" or "defeated/sealed", there are exceptions but most of them just show how easy they were able to be taken out by people before our hero.

Watching this it reminded me a lot of The Mummy, and how amazing of a movie that was and how botched this was in comparison. It did the dead villain returning so well.

Ok i think hellboy does deserve a reboot but they just need to take it slower

It’s a bad plot lol

Un Christianice selvatico

@@digheanurag The story is pretty good in the comics. But they had lot of time flushing out the characters, motivations etc. For example, the witch used to be an extremely educated queen, and the man-bear-pig was in unrequited love with her. There is a whole arc about it. Then king Arthur and his knights have a whole arc. Hellboy was indeed uninterested protagonist in large part, because he was depressed (because prof. Broom dies at the start of the comics). The movie just crammed it all together and hoped it would work.

Underrated comment spoken exactly with truth.

Yep

We need Del Toro and Pearlman back.

>Hellboy >A superhero

That's the thing Hellboy isn't a superhero imo. And his comicbooks aren't superhero oriented. Why they try to market it as such is beyond me.

Yeah because of fan boy groupies like you who only go see movies if they are the hot new thing

@@ulysses9285 I'm not a "fan boy groupie", I go to see movies that look good and get good reviews, and this looked like shit and got shit reviews so I skipped it.

I read it. And enjoyed it.

Precisely everything you mentioned was already done on the OG 2004's Hellboy movie (Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman rocks)

@@charlespuruncajas9663 Number 1 way to fix this movie: make it Hellboy 3, sequel to the two previous movies in which all of this was already established, making the necessary room to try to establish all the new stuff.

Hollywood: Comedy

do you know why the character work on the comics ?

You set up a mission that he gets assigned to in the first act, then he learns about something that motivates him to stop it for the 2nd and 3rd acts (kinda like Iron Man 1). This version just had him getting sent place to place without him caring for the entire film.

But Guillermo del Toro did a great job with his Hellboy movies, it stinks to see Mike Mignola having some passive aggressive dislike to Guillermo's Hellboy vision, and now when he had more control in the reboot it sucks ball.

@@theflashgordon193 The big factor is probably just time. A long-running comic series can afford to take an episodic approach to its plot and the development of its cast. Do things at its own pace, introduce characters in their normal status quo, have sequences of simple introspection, etc. And then, once we are engrossed in the world and characters, that's where The Big Plot can happen and be the climax to everything we've seen. In a way, that's also the approach the MCU took, and it took a long-ass time and a crapton of movies. A single film doesn't have the time to do that.

Remember, this is the very last film of Sean Connery. He refused to play old men that didn't get the girl.

@@TheZapan99 Funny cuz in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen comics Allan Quatermain gets the girl (Mina) but not in the movie

Hellboy: Well, The Last Jedi taught me failure is the greatest teacher! =D

Oscar Wilde: Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.

disney: I consider $$$ experience

Harbour's performance was legit, seriously.

@Glen Richardson yea he was undoubfully one of the better parts of the film but a lack of strong writing really killed it for me

@@glenrichardson8266 Harbour is a good actor no doubt but his Hellboy characterization was not great. Hellboy felt like a Looser trying to be someone great. He didn't carry the confidence into his actions. Actually, half the time he didn't know what was happening.

@@JayanandSupali Hellboy often acts like a teenager who is unsure of himself. Rebellious against authority and quick to sarcasm.

The creator of the Hellboy comics, Mike Mignola had issues with Del Toro's Hellboy movies, so that may have something to do with it.

The creators of this movie forgot to be patient and plan better. Also I liked how in the comics hellboy is known by the world. I think the first two movies were secretive because they took some inspiration from men in black.

In fairness, he only becomes a despairing, alcoholic sadsack *after* he quits the Bureau. Chiefly due to disillusionment with them, but also discovering just *how big* his cosmic significance is. Before then, I find he's pretty motivated. Certainly as a protector of humanity and especially active in discovering his origins, starting with his Right Hand. He's sardonic, sure, but there's a heart there. The apathy only really kicks in in *the Storm and the Fury.* Even then, once he's realised he's drunk himself into a stupor over the past 6 years, he quits.

Yes but in the previous movies he was more involved in the plot. There was always something that appealed to his personality type to get him involved.

Um... Have you not seen guardians of the galaxy's first act?!?!

Yeah, because iron man basically is the first act of the MCU

BASIL!!!!! Βασίλειος Absolutely not. Batman thrived in realism, Iron Man never pretended to be realistic. One was about a man owning his fears and weaponizing them against criminals, the other was about an actual villain realizing the damage he does in the world and using his skills and knowledge to rectify his sins. Bruce Wayne became Batman voluntarily so that his tragedies wouldn’t be inflicted on other people, while Tony Stark was forced into becoming Iron Man and then used him to fix his wrongs. Other than the fact the two movies feature a billionaire who uses his mind and money to become a superhero, (one of which remains an anonymous vigilante while the other publicly announces his identity to the world) the movies have nothing in common, and I dare you to prove otherwise. Μη μας κάνεις να φαινόμαστε σα ζώα μπροστά στον κόσμο, πατριώτη!

Thor: Ragnarok for the win in my opinion.

@@alexman378 Tony Stark was not forced to become Iron Man what are you talking about? He was ordered to make more weapons, which he refused to do even under threat of death. He fully committed himself to becoming Iron Man on his own and fix the problems he caused. Very similar to Batman refusing to destroy Gotham after he finished his training with Ra's al Ghul. They both could have taken the evil path, but fought their way out of it. They then go fighting crime, fixing problems, fleeing from the government, and end with their climactic fight against the main villain, with somewhat realistic stakes. The main difference between the two is Batman and Bruce Wayne are separate parts of one man's identity, while Tony Stark and Iron Man are wholly the same in all aspects, but both are acceptable and identifying aspects of each character.

Yes, a plague so deadly it killed 0.003% of the population.

He should have a Netflix series. The comics stories are quite short on their own and there's really not that much action.

The movie has its ups and downs but overall its poorly edited and Ian MacShane was totally Miscast as Professor Bruttonholm

harbour was shit as hellboy

Then the Avengers will chase after Thanos and marvel make sequel after that make bs prequel and more Avengers movie for 12 years old . Lol

Then Stark would buy Duracell and destroy all it's plants

okay but.... what if that is why what happened to Tony happened at all. It took up all of his battery... If he didn't get the surgery at the end of 3 he might have made it.(since the arc reactor could power his body a few hundred times over)

Well...technically the Power Stone is the battery...so Thanos got that first. If he needed another battery...he'd probably just be out to rip Stark's arc reactor off his chest.
