>During an Instagram Live, Hellboy was one of the topics Harbour touched upon. This time, Harbour explained he believes Hellboy failed because fans cherished del Toro's films so much, and therefore rejected the reboot before it even got off the ground. Harbour's disappointment with the entire situation was very clear, though he did make sure to mention that it's "people's right" to feel differently about things. His entire comments are as follows:

>I think it failed before we began shooting because I think that people didn’t want us to make the movie and for some reason there was like a big… Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman created this iconic thing that we thought could be reinvented and then they certainly - the loudness of the internet was like, “We do not want you to touch this.” And then we made a movie that I think is fun and I think had its problems but was a fun movie and then people were just very very against it and that’s people’s right but I learned my lesson in a lot of different way.

Its your fault Del Toro fanboys

Why didnt you see the new Hellboy?

It was pretty fucking garbo desu

I did see it. It was ass.

Harbour was good though.

kinda like the del toro's

I mean he’s not wrong, I’m one of those fans of the original and that’s one of the reasons why I didn’t see it. More than that though it just didn’t excite me; I don’t want a reboot when the first two movies did a great job introducing characters and building a world that grew familiar. There was no reason for this movie to be made other than the fact its producers saw an IP that hadn’t been touched in a decade and thought “hey, let’s get that guy from Stranger Things and paint him red!” Calling it a cash grab is a little harsh, because I know some people involved genuinely appreciate the Hellboy lore, but it is what it is.

Deltoro's shit.
But the reboot was a bigger shit

>our product failed because people who didn't want it continued not to want it
What a sad story.

lol no

the movie tried to rush though ten years of plots at once. like the wild hunt could've been its own badass movie but here it was a five minute skit set to awful rock music

>the original
The original was a comic

>joke
>scene change
>joke
>things should be serious now
>but also joke
>scene change

Repeat ad infinitum

>No one wanted this
>We made it anyways

Why didn't people see it?

do you not understand what context is, retard?

>we wanted to reinvent the thing.

Did that happen?
How was NuHellboy specifically different from the old Hellboy? besides adding curse words and race-swapping the irish redhead for another mulatto? Genuine question, here.

Do you understand that Del Toro's fanfiction didn't introduce shit, retard?

The problem with all of these Hellboy adaptations is they're not funny enough. Basically every third line of dialogue needs to be a quip for it to work, just like the source material.

No idea they released a new one. I dont think I've seen both of the old ones either.

nothing to do with what i posted about
no one cares about the comic nerd
deal with it

Will Hollywood stop the constant reboots and remakes? Will they realize no one wants SJW "woke"ness? Why is it run by out-of-touch retards?

Reminder these cunts who made comic-inaccurate shit that became default for a lot of normies.

Nolan
Del Taco
Raimi
Favreau
James Gunn

These cunts are the reason that comic accurate directors like Zack Snyder and other MCU directors are maligned.

I'm glad this balding faggot got denied his time in the sun as a big action star, hopefully it happens to every actor on stranger things, GOT and any other shitty TV shows.

>Think he means literally "introduce".
Damn, what's autism like?

fpbp. I have high tolerance for camp with this genre and I really went in with an open mind but it was garbage. Simple as.

if they wanted to do a Hellboy movie, but different, why not make the movie visually distinctive? try to capture Mingola's art style, but in live action. I would have gone to see their reboot if they had at least made that effort.

>hur dur, but that's like Sin City
whatever, make it look like Sin City, then.

Zack pls

who fucking cares, as long as its a good film

he's pretty spot on, honestly. the entire vibe surrounding the reboot was basically nobody asked for it and you're never going to top del Toro's iconic aesthetic, so why the fuck are you doing this?

this, better directors are the reason snyder is frowned upon

>accuracy is all that matters

Retcons are comics accurate. New authors changing things is comics accurate. Complete overhauls when changing companies is comics accurate.

hollywood exists in the california liberal bubble. they legit have no finger on the pulse of the rest of the nation.

Yeah who fucking cares about decades of inbuilt mythology, characterization and themes in comics that shit on these movies.

exactly

That guy probably doesn't actually read comics, though who really does anymore.

who cares if hellboy is a black trangender queer angelkin it's just fiction lmao

I did watch the new Hellboy. It's on Prime.
I did not feel it resembled Del Toro's or Mignola's vision. The gore felt voyeuristic and the constant swearing gratuitous. Part of Hellboy's charm in both former interpretations was that he's this literal demon taking down unknowable terrors from beyond the veil and he has a filter on swearing, never going beyond CRAP.

I watched it. It was quite gory.

where does any of that correspond with "good film"

I saw it in the cinema unfortunately. It was a complete pile of dogshit.

Not only did (((you))) NOT listen, (((you))) went ahead and turned the whole thing into capeshit.
As if distaste for that garbage wasn't big enough, the first trailer dropped and it sealed the deal in such a poetic manner it wasn't even funny. Eat shit.

wow its almost like reboots are a bad fucking idea

I'm starting to believe they don't even watch the cartoons anymore.

Hellboy isn't woke, it just isn't good either. I knew the production was doomed from the start because it was filmed where I live, and nothing of value has ever been filmed here aside from some parts of The Passion of the Christ.

where does any of that not correspond with "good film"?

The gore and some of the creature designs were cool, but it was straight to video tier in every other regard. Del Toro's at least had soul.

Man, this could be an argument in some cult movie like charlie and the chocolate factory. In this obscure piece of shit no.

>if they wanted to do a Hellboy movie, but different, why not make the movie visually distinctive?
Because Amazing Screw-On Head was hella expensive to make.

>Any marvel script

>These cunts are the reason that comic accurate directors like Zack Snyder
The fuck are you even talking about? Copying some framing every now and then doesn't make something comic accurate. Even 300, his closest comic adaptation, had a bunch of shit added

Like clothing. And listening to what women think.

Yeah, yeah, thing is, you could tell that was going to be the reaction.
You could tell and you still did it.
Arrogant.

>passion of the Christ
>value
How can someone have taste this shit

"Let's add a strong women in politics rape revenge subplot" "Yas, so accurate, really nails the themes of the book"

I was talking about le taco man but ok

blame mike mignola. gdt wanted to make hellboy 3 and had a meeting with mm and rp, but mm got his feelings hurt by how gdt was promoting it on twitter and said no. that's the whole story. that's who you blame.

maybe he should stop calling 50% of the country nazis and racist that need to be executed on the street

>del Toro makes Pacific Rim and it's loved
>Boyega tried to make his own version and it failed
>del Toro makes Hellboy and it's loved
>Neil Marshall tried to make his own version and it failed
>del Toro set to make a unique take on The Hobbit that would've been loved
>New Line alienated him and crawled back to Peter Jackson, who made a glib facsimile of LOTR that failed
Is Guillermo the golden goose?

neither of the del toro movies you listed are good

Zack Snyder is the only director to elevate CBMs to art. Helped them reach the potential that comicbooks provided them. You should be grateful.

Oh lay an egg.
