things i love about it
- the occult/ religious imagery
- the musical score/ choices
- costumes
- ABE SAPIEN (doug jones 😍)
- furthermore, the way doug jones moves in it
- ron perlman’s voice 🥵
- the kittens and cats
- the dialogue writing is so good, so excellent, i want to quote the whole thing for you here
- how we have scenes dedicated just to showing us that hellboy can use his tail like a muscle 😏 y’all knew what y’all were doing with that, y’all did it on purpose & we both know it
my critiques
- representation is mid
- hate seeing nazi shit anywhere
- why couldn’t we just do a john/ hellboy/ liz throuple?? hmmm? too big of a coward to do polyamory G?
best quotes
- “and now, here comes a garbage truck..”
- “hey, crazy costumes, huh?”
- “RED MEANS STOP”
- “hey myers?” “yeah” “byyyee”
