When he overwinds his heartclock, he overclocks his reaction-speed. Opponents are all effectively in slow-motion to him, hence why he can deflect bullets and overcome armed-soldiers with just his blades.
He really would, that's a great idea. The devs should try to work something out with the rights holders for the next game (won't happen, heh, but it'd be cool)
@@gone8913 Hahahahahahahahaha There were a lot of problems with the most recent Wolf game, but your attribution of the problems is just comical. It says more about you than it does anything else. Also, why don't you actually, I dunno, learn what the word "leftist" means. Because it doesn't mean what you think it means (hint: it has nothing to do with liberals, let alone any specific annoying things certain liberals do). Your calling a product from a large corporation "leftist" shows you have no idea what it means. The other associations you've made with it demonstrate that, too.
“He spent his childhood singing opera, and then suddenly was a genius in clockwork technology while he discovered the ability to not require eating and sleeping to live. Oh and he was also the true mastermind behind the holocaust in case you don’t hate him yet...”
I mean most of the Reichs uniforms were bad ass. Just not the people. Just imagine, soldiers marching down your hallway wearing black robes and tucked in uniforms with black boots. Just sends a chill down your spine.
To be fair Nazi uniforms are mainly Hugo Boss 😂 Its not all that strange to dig the uniform, its the people wearing them that did the wrong but the clothes are just schwanky
Even then he was made more interesting for the movie, in the comics he was just a scientist in a gas mask who died at the end of the second story. He could talk in the original version but was otherwise an unremarkable character.
Obsession with improving himself with mechanical components and skill with clockwork mechanics, Kroenen sounds like a perfect member for The Church Of The Broken God.
Kroenen has always been my favourite antagonist. He looks unbelievably badass and his skill with the dual swords is insane. I'd love to know the actor that played him. Although a lot of the film is animated, his skill and speed with the dual swords is legitimate.
I've been fascinated by Kroenen quite a bit, his clockwork internals have me intrigued. Send him back to the middle ages where people still fought with swords and bows and he'd literally be a middle ages terminator
these two films are massively massively underrated and underappreciated. every little detail was made with love. so sad they didn't continue on this path. such a shame
thats technically a wehrmacht general or officer uniform but mostly a General since its a robe not a tucked in uniform. SA uniforms are maroon with bright red swastika patches.
I love movies with so much thought put into them that every character is filled to the brim with depth and little details to explore after each rewatch. It’s not some 12 year old redditor’s idea of DEEP it’s an actual writer’s talent being infused into the character to create something new. That is the Art of Filmmaking, and why film adaptions aren’t always a recipe for disaster.
Kroenen to himself: “Hey you wanna play a game?” Kroenen: “Oooo yes yes, we love games” Kroenen: “Okay but only you and me can play” Kroenen: *Whispers* “ju..just, just us?” Kroenen: “Yes, don’t tell the others” Kroenen: “Okay, I’ll go first...I spy with my *WIDE* eyes, something that begins with ‘C’ Kroenen: “Is it a Cog?...” Kroenen: *Claps to himself* “Yeah yeah you got Yaaayy” Kroenen: *Sudden realisation kicks in* ...........Wtf am I doing
If you look at the new poster you can see that he’s wielding Excalibur. That means he decided to take the path that which in his comics means he’s gonna command his army and take over the world in flame.
I was wondering what his backstory is and how he became the assassin he is now until this video shows up and clears up everything about him. Nice video
His gas mask is in a display in the second movie. You can see Krauss looking at it in one of the scenes, so at some point they must have gone back to finish him off instead of just assuming he won't eventually find his way out from under the gear. They probably made some precautions to make sure he can't kill whatever recovery crew sent to make sure he's neutralized, and they probably dismembered him just to be sure.
Another terrific video. I love the film breakdowns but I wouldn't mind seeing some more comics. I'm particularly interested in you continuing *The Crossed* series
Thanks for doing this. I'm a huge fan of the first Hellboy movie.. It's a shame Ron Perlman and Del Toro kept us so long in suspense for a third film and ultimately let us down with a no. But well, at least we still getting more Hellboy and I really can't wait for it... The first Hellboy, with all these Nazi themes, Victorian era settings and steampunk elements (the character you just went through), really blew me away. It will always be considered to me, a masterpiece. Edit* I missed out one of the core elements which is actually that very Lovecraftian vibe, especially when the elder god was awakened. It was goosebumps I tell'ya. ; )
@@wint3rki11 I believe part of why it fell through was because it really did took too long and... Not to offend, but our dear Ron's age is really starting to show.. It's kinda sad, I mean, it went on for about a decade...
Del Toro And Perlman were pushing for a third film, it was an epic 120 million dollar conclusion to the story, Legendary films was interested, but the Chinese bought the studio, and Mignola refused over and over to back a story where Hellboy died.
Thats is so awesome Saro! I did the same thing with Beatrix Kiddo's sword from Kill Bill, though my girlfriend at the time didnt agree with the purchase. In the end, the sword is still with me, while she left, which is why I'm glad I made the purchase haha
@@filmcomicsexplained Yeah, the craftsmanship of it is absolutely exceptional and was very modestly priced. I have that sword too! It's only a cheap eBay replica but I love it. My other favorite replica weapon it Buffy's Scythe by Factory X, it's beautiful. Why did the ex object to you owning a movie prop? Some people just aren't a good fit. Hope you meet/have already met someone who is just right for you bro.
I picked up his blades along with the prince nuada spear! Couldn't resist either of them tbh. Spent a little bit more than I wanted to on them but fuck it they were worth it, everything 100% useable without fear of breaking.
This is really off topic but the way people stand together in hating Pacific Rim never fails to make my day. I watched that movie 4 times in a month and I hated every second of it. We don't want a third Pacific Rim, 100% agree.
Nah, that would be if it was a sequel. It's a reboot so they're not going to touch DelToro's work. And on the bright side, they got the writer of the comics on board.
He always looked so terrifying. I had nightmares about him. Not his actual face, but his mask. Those glossy, unfeeling, black mirrors in the place of his eyes. It's horrifying
I'm skeptical about the new Hellboy. I loved the original series as a kid, and I'm very curious to see how the story could be retold. However, reboots tend to be hit and miss with me.
Yeah, was looking forward to see the reboot version of Abe, as other than big Red himself, he is my favorite character, but I think the Overall performance of Abe’s actor is too unique to replicate.
I have to admit, Kroenen is legitimate badass assassin in hellboy, which is a shame that he's not coming back to the next sequel. But more at all, he's a badass.
Out of all the creatures in the original movie Kroenen is the one that stands out for sheer steampunk creepiness, because he was once human, and did all the modifications to himself.
"...I'm a bit sick at the moment..." _Start to sweat and get worried for our our FilmComicexpleni boi_ Looks at date when this was uploaded. _sighing while letting deep breath out from relief realising this wasn't a recent video_
Amazingly this is nearly perfect to a character for Pathfinder I made. The char was an android Investigator (Rogue/Alchemist) , but picked up Clockwork Oracle as a multiclass. When he got to level 20, he was a completely clockwork organism; incapable of permanent death and able to upload his own consciousness into a super computer. Thus he could have clones of himself that would never truly die, and only needed a few flicks of the wrist to be able to come back to "life"
