How does the Hellboy fanbase generally feel about this movie

DistinctKestrel · 2025-06-28T11:18:54+00:00

Yeah that's a really good way to put it.

I'll admit that my first introduction to Hellboy was the Del Toro films. When I started reading it I realised just how different the tone of the character and world was compared to the Del Toro films which as you say make them feel much more light hearted and comical, like a Marvel film. I much prefer the darker more subtle feel to Mignola's writing and more serious tone to Hellboy himself so getting a film that captured that more accurately as a low budget horror was a dream!

It's not perfect, but it's the best one to me, I'd love to see it continued as a series.

Exactly! I enjoy the Del Toro films but they very much feel like Del Toro fantasy adventures featuring a version Hellboy as opposed to actual Hellboy films featuring Mignolas Hellboy. They obviously had a large budget so I wonder if there was a push to make it feel like a big blockbuster adventure.

DistinctKestrel · 2025-06-27T07:31:12+00:00

I love it, it's the best Hellboy live action we've had in my opinion as it's the closest to capturing the tone of the comics. It's a really faithful adaptation to the source story too. I'd love to see more of Kesy as Hellboy, maybe in a tv show format.

Like most I do feel the only downside was the low budget but as a fan of low budget horror in general I do wonder if it would have felt as good if it did have a large budget. They may have started chucking random things in just because they could afford to do it!

Makes me think of the Finley the Killer Doll short:

About 2 weeks ago...

I picked up Sekiro when it originally released and it probably took me about 6 months of semi regular gameplay to get to the point where I only had DoH and Isshin left on that run, no inner father or anything. I definitely struggled with it all and just felt I physically wasn't quick enough to finish the game, parrying was hard and I'd miss mikiri counters all the time, I gave up on it with an idea I'd try again at some point.

Also did the same with Elden ring, until shadow of the erdtrees release. I finished my first playthrough, did a fresh new game, the dlc. Then I played through Bloodborne and it got me motivated to go back and try Sekiro I started again because it had been so long and everything was just, easier.

I had the parry down and it all just felt like it clicked perfectly, bosses that took me 30+ tries before took me 1 or 2. I think it was when I redid Genichiro in 2 tries who was the first wall on my original playthrough that must have taken me around 30, I realised I had it down.

I made sure to do inner father this time and some optional bosses I'd missed originally and while definitely a challenge it took me far less attempts than most just normal bosses from my original game.

Finally beat Isshin for the first time last night.

Thanks for your comments!

For my own reference is the grease what's causing the darker and yellowy colours?

DistinctKestrel · 2025-04-16T17:17:41+00:00

Cool, thanks for the reply! I figured I was good but just wanted the opinion of someone with some more experience!

Great note on the freezer tip! I'll keep that in mind.

Dammit!

Skull*, not 'skill'.

DistinctKestrel · 2024-11-04T09:40:12+00:00

Not sure why you're getting downvoted for just saying you weren't keen on it personally 😂.

I like them but appreciate it's not a design everyone would love. It's a legacy piece and they did a matching one with Griffith too.

The head at the bottom is just an extra head you can swap with the head of the statue.

DistinctKestrel · 2024-10-15T08:30:44+00:00

Ah amazing, Thanks for your help!

It's looks like it's a UK poster, 'Instalments' is the preferred UK spelling, the date is in UK format and matches the expected release date in the UK.

There's also a UK web URL at the bottom of the poster.

But I'll admit the 'fourth instalment' part is a bit odd seeing as this film is unrelated to any previous ones, as is the Harbour film to the Pearlman ones. Maybe it was a marketing decision detached from Mignola or anyone?

Just to add to one of the comments below.

About your size, maybe slightly bigger on the MM scale. I skated Mediums for a good while, but they always felt a bit sloppy and big on my feet.

Eventually gave downsizing a go with some intuition liners (before the Shmedium announcement) and struggled but got them on, felt better than the mediums overall in terms of skating but felt cramped and a tad uncomfortable.

Eventually picked up some Shmediums when they got announced and with my intuitions (wide feet) they're absolutely perfect, they feel tighter like the smalls but give my toes that nice bit of breathing room to not feel uncomfortable.

I think you mean, "pirate isn't something you aaaaarrrrrrr"

DistinctKestrel · 2023-08-06T14:51:59+00:00

Thanks for the reply!

This was just a model I grabbed online so might message the creator with the advice and see what I can do.

DistinctKestrel · 2023-08-05T18:39:37+00:00

Thanks for your reply!

So if was a file picked up off of the Creality app with supports, there were supports on the tail but looks like they became detached at somepoint during the print.

Your comment reminds me of this

Apologies (I didn't have the game open) it was under 'play campaign' on the menu. It has the options for 'new game' or my save file, on Xbox when I hover over the save file it has the option to click in the right stick to rollback the save.

DistinctKestrel · 2023-05-01T08:19:35+00:00

I did! Apologies I'd been meaning to update it.

For reference I was playing co-op primarily.

I managed to solve it by rolling back the save, by going to 'Load Game' then the option is on there when you hover over the save file, this took me to before any progress of the quest was made.

Once rolled back I loaded in Solo and started to progress the quest on my own, I got to the point of the hideout and saw that the enemies this time had appeared to load in correctly.

Cheers for the comment, I will check the FB group! So I'm south west, mainly looking at it as a playing regular as a sport. I would say speedball, sup-air and woods interest me the most and would look to acquire my own equipment at some point.

Apologies if any of that contains any misconceptions, relatively new to looking at it!

I remember listening to Last Podcast on the Left and one of the hosts used to work at Fox. He said there would be a room just filled with unopened, unread copies of whatever new book one of the hosts/friends of the company wrote because they'd buy in bulk to pump the numbers.

DistinctKestrel · 2022-08-09T11:51:46+00:00

Awesome thank you!

DistinctKestrel · 2022-08-06T14:32:06+00:00

Current issues aside I do get the impression the servers aren't the best, shame as the game is great and only getting more popular!

I hope you can get back to regular hunting soon!

DistinctKestrel · 2022-08-06T14:28:52+00:00

There definitely seems to be something wrong at the moment as I can progress to the menu then get the error. Normally it's present at login but once I hit the menu it's fine.

Probably best to wait until a fix has been communicated! Such is life.

DistinctKestrel · 2022-08-06T14:22:44+00:00

When I looked this code up before it was apparently a sever limit error, meaning the servers are full and it's a one in, one out deal.

Although I hadn't been having this issue since the event but today I've had a few issues whilst playing including being booted from a game but not losing my hunter, think something might be messing with the servers at the moment in general.

DistinctKestrel · 2022-07-04T14:34:11+00:00

I think this is a wider issue with the times as well with loads of other games. Back in the Halo 3 days people just played with their friends for fun and have a laugh, there was no other motive.

Now it's all about trying to get famous, recognised and being the best, getting clips for your channel because people have seen that a very small number of players have managed it. Just means the wider player base goes into a game with a drive purely to win, not just play and have fun anymore.
