One might say I’m absolutely elated.
I see the hellboy fandom rising from the depths of hell
I’m excited for a revival but also weirded out by the trailer like where is Abe?!?!?! What are those accents?!?!?! I don’t know how I feel.
So the following has absolutely nothing to do with dinosaurs. So if you’re only here for dinosaurs, or things - like kaiju - tangentially related to dinosaurs, then this may not be for you. But I’ve already established that I’m a huge Mike Mignola fan so I feel absolutely no guilt with taking some time to talk about the new Hellboy movie coming out next year, the first trailer for which just dropped. And if you didn’t know, yes, there is a new Hellboy movie coming out and it’s not directed by Guillermo del Toro or starring Ron Perlman. Rather it’s being directed by Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers, The Descent, Doomsday) and starring David Harbour (Stranger Things). And hot damn are people online not happy about that. I mean people really seem to be hating the trailer for the new Hellboy movie. Why? Mostly because it’s not a third del Toro film starring Ron Perlman. Well guess what folks, Hellboy isn’t del Toro or Perlman. Hellboy is a comic book character created back in 1993 by Mike Mignola who is overseeing this new film just as he did with the previous two. And if he’s happy with what he’s seeing - and I’m going to wager that we wouldn’t be seeing it if he wasn’t - then you can’t say they are getting it wrong. And before someone pipes up with, “Well wasn’t Mignola unhappy with the del Toro movies and that’s why they’re doing a reboot?”, let me address that. No. Mignola - who co-wrote the second del Toro Hellboy film - has never had anything but positive things to say about those movies. By all accounts he loves them. And why shouldn’t he? They’re both fantastic movies. I think I’ve also established by this point what a del Toro fanatic I am. But the problem was that those films didn’t make any money. Which leads me to wonder where the hell were all you so-called fans of the first two Hellboy movies when they came out in theaters? I saw both of those movies opening weekend with friends and we sat in practically empty auditoriums. And it’s because both Hellboy movies flopped when they opened in 2004 and 2008 that del Toro had to jump studios going from Columbia to Universal between 1 and 2. In fact the only reason del Toro got to make Hellboy 2 at all is because of the critical success of Pan’s Labyrinth; Universal essentially offering him a blank check. But then Hellboy 2 failed to perform at the box office - again I ask where were you people now complaining about the reboot? - and del Toro was left to try and find another studio to finish his trilogy. At one point it looked like Legendary would do it but that fell through after they got bought-out by Wanda Media Group. So now, here we are, with Mignola and a different director and different actor at a different studio, Lionsgate, rebooting the franchise. And unfortunately if internet reaction is anything to go off of it doesn’t look good. If it’s not people complaining about del Toro not being in the director’s chair then it’s some BS about this new film not being “dark” enough and looking “too funny.” Too funny? Compared to what? The last film where Hellboy got drunk and sang Barry Manilow? Or the comics these movies are based on where the reason Hellboy can’t return to hell is because he ate pancake when he was five? Please explain. Please explain how Hellboy is a “dark” story. Maybe it was the issue of Hellboy in Hell with the golem that could only recite the names of fish? Actually never mind. Don’t explain. Not unless, like me, you’ve read every Hellboy comic multiple times - I have Issue #1 signed by Mignola! - and actually paid to see both del Toro films in theaters. Then maybe I’ll listen to your complaints. I like the new trailer. You know what I see when I watch it? A Hellboy movie. And a damn good looking one at that. And even if it also flops when it gets released on April 12, as a fan I consider myself damn lucky to have gotten three big-screen Hellboy movies in my lifetime.
the fight is harder each year.

When people usually ask her this question it generally refers to some kind of rule that she broke or one of the higher up that she had insulted with a flippant comment, however, at this present time she had no memory of having done anything to insight the wrath of whoever this man was. So she blinked at him, glazed her eyes over his gray double-breasted pilot’s jacket; one that she was endlessly pleased to say was complete with a stark white scarf that seemed to be somewhat self-billowing constantly, navy blue pants and black leather gloves. She noted his Pilots goggles the second she had laid eyes on him and believed they truly brought the whole ensemble together. If there was one thing that Riza could take away from this man just by looking at him it was that he could commit. Lifting her eyes back to his she chewed the inside of her cheek for a moment trying to put into words the feelings that all of this information had given her. What came out instead was “ So I take it you’re into planes.” The statement-question came out a little too breathy and strained like she wanted to laugh but knew it would come off as rude.

tourist in a horror movie: wow i better visit this ancient temple and just fuck around real stupid
that’s just regular tourists though
Me consuming media dealing with werewolves: “okay but if you’re gonna lock yourself in that basement during your transformation have you thought of including some enrichment?? How about a treat ball or a frozen Kong?? What are your thoughts on sniffing out treats”
Good god the rampant destruction makes so much more sense now! The wolf has no mental stimulation so its starts destroying things because its BORED.
This is such a good idea!
Also, remember to protein load to avoid ravening. Beef, chicken, fish- whatever, just LOTS OF IT. The change takes a lot out of you, and the wolf will go out hunting for it if you don’t provide. Don’t bother with tofu. It’s no good trying to be a vegetarian by day if you’re a humanitarian by night.
Werewolves are stereotyped as ravenous monsters because the transformations burn so many calories that they’re essentially starving afterwords. The more “controlled” werewolves are just the ones who figured this out and loaded up on calories beforehand, whereas the “wild” ones assume it’s part of their wolfish nature to hunt and eat whatever’s nearby.
The transformation back burns calories too, but by that point they’re exhausted from running around in the woods all night, not to mention the physical strain of two transformations. And filthy people showing up at Denny’s in the early morning are assumed to be hungover, so the ravenous beast idea is applied only to the wolf half.
are you suggesting people who eat at denny’s are essentially werewolves
not just essentially
I’m not sure...
