Everyone keeps talking about how this is a "young" Hellboy (which is why he doesn't have the topknot), and I'm like, Harbour is in his mid-40s, uh, what?

Hellboy is 60 years old in terms of actual age in Pearlman’s but he’s more like mid twenties in demon years.

Hellboy looks bad. Everything looks forced and Harbour looks like he’s struggling to move under 2 inches of prosthetics.

I dunno I think I would rather just read the comics.

More important for me were Del Toro's off-kilter design preferences which really made the first two films feel like their own bizarre universe. I have a feeling this movie is just gonna be aping other more recent successful comic book films like Deadpool and Suicide Squad.

Del Toro and Mignola butted heads on how a third movie should go, and the latter owns the IP, so out the former went. And then Perlman didn't want to come back because Del Toro got kicked out.

Apparently Del Toro and Mignola got in a massive fight, starting with a disagreement about what Hellboy 3 should be about, and then one of those deals where it eventually cascaded into them just venting everything they hated about each other.

The studio certainly didn’t mind because putting out a sequel ten years later for a movie that flopped doesn’t sound like a great proposition anyways.

Sucks for the Hellboy reboot because all those monsters look Del Toro as gently caress. If the movie turns out to be even a minor success, people are gonna attribute that to Del Toro.

You know the marketing guys are desperate when one of their main selling points is that characters in the movie says gently caress.

Superheroes saying the word gently caress is a massive selling point to the general movie going audience. I don't know if that is going to work here, but it does historically work.

I still can't believe they're going this route after all the pre-production bullshit about tapping into the more somber, horror-centric elements of the source material. At least that would have allowed it its own identity.

Yeah, the head in a box thing, and being reassembled, is the first thing in any of these trailers that made me say, "Huh, that's pretty cool."

I'm assuming everyone has seen it at this point, but they released a really short clip from Endgame. (Linked in case the screenshot even is more than anyone wants to see.

It doesn't show much of anything, but (speculation from the clip) based on Widow's hair length and color, and the fact that Iron Man, Nebula, and Ant-Man aren't there yet, this is early on in the movie, and their first attempt to get Thanos goes very poorly, and they reassemble much later to try again.

I'm also curious what they're looking that and how it reveals Thanos "used the stones again".

I haven't seen Infinity War or Captain Marvel, probably won't see Endgame, and I generally think the Marvel films are uninspired and boring but, like... There's something odd about how Captain Marvel is both the person who says let's go fight Thanos, I'm stronger than Thanos, wins the little argument, and then stares down Thor while he does his axe trick and he says he likes her. Laying it on for a bit thick for a character who has featured in only one movie, is meeting these guys for the first time, and doesn't really relate to the core group of the Avengers at all.

I was extremely confused about that and restarted it a few times but I think my assumption was it's a weird cut-in immediately after a conversation about how to bring everyone back. i.e. "The only way to undo what he did with the stones...[clip starts]is if he uses the stones again". Because basically immediately the uplifting music and discussion about "how crazy this plan is" starts. I think it's a proposal to activate the stones again, and not a statement that he did use the stones again.
