Can we wait til it’s out and watched first?
Septagrim
Hecken boi.
Dracongield
The face fits when he has the crown and sword in the trailer. Everywhere else it just looks like a bad special affect
whatfreshhellisthis
I like David Harbour so I am gonna give it a chance. Ron's gettin' old. Can't be Hellboy forever.
TheBurpyPony
Saw the trailer and thought, "why is his face so squished up".
notkvothethebloodless
He does spend most of his time getting punched in the face by things that can crumble boulders like packing peanuts
ThePotatoBandit
Not worried about the actor, more worried about the makeup and prothstetics doesnt look good and makes the talking look awkward.
UnremarkablyInteresting
yeah, if you look at this vid from one of the other posts, you can see the mask coming off around his eye.
lenonymes
The eye sockets are way too bulgy, it makes him look like he's constantly squinting. But goddamn he sounds exactly like Perlman lol.
pwnjones
This is funny but I still think the new one will be good. Pearlman was perfection but I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to do it anymore.
TheProfessionalMike
I really hope people being stupidly judgemental doesn't ruin what could be potentially a good movie.
SCHRAMB0
When someone complains about the casting before seeing the movie:
UnremarkablyInteresting
um, you can see his mask coming off around his eye.
toxichorsepucky
Oh wow good catch
batarnak
The movie's not out yet. I repeat : The movie is not out yet. Can everybody hold their freaking horses?
filben7
Hes ugly as fuck in the comics.
BlackMesaResearchFacilityScientist
*he's
Graylinfaux
WHY IN THE DAY OF CGI ALL OVER THIS DAMN FILM CAN'T HE HAVE FUCKIN HOOVES? WHY?
Graylinfaux
WHY? Otherwise yeah I'm interested in this one
filben7
I cant believe you are being downvoted. Its a valid criticism.
Graylinfaux
Exactly, why are you booing me I'm right.
BallsToYouMyGoodSir
But you get 16 of them
KobeBurger
Ron Perlman was great and I really enjoyed his Hellboy movies. David Harbour taking on the role doesn't detract from Ron's performance.
jfcutler12
I agree but is it just me or does his face already look like it was beat and bruised. Like whatever show hair and props look off.
SlyMrFox
For me it's not the actor, it's the make-up & the fact that the trailer makes it look like a Paul W. S. Anderson movie, & that's not just
SlyMrFox
cause his wife is playing the villain.
ajvz
I think the mixed reception is more about the trailer's tone obviously mimicking the tone of deadpool/GotG instead of being.... good
badjuju666
Opinions are like assholes. I mean your opinion makes you an asshole.
FlatPlutoSociety
Exactly. And I think Harbour will do a pretty damn good job.
Yowhatupdough
Ricdesan
Harbour has some big brass ones for even trying to fill those shoes so I tip my hat to him today
CrestKnight
IMO hes a good replacement if ron is too old or not up to it, but i do feel the trailer shows quite a bit of disrespect for the series.
Wraiff
Generally interested, but what about it seems disrespectful to you?
CrestKnight
soundtrack, the whole thing was fanservice, 3rd movie was supposed to be "the end" not a prequel. hellboy only shows 2 emotions "brute/joke"
Wraiff
Ah, to each their own, but I would like to clarify it's not a prequel, it's based on the Blood Queen arc of hellboy comics. Give it a read!
CrestKnight
so unless its just a poor trailer, i believe the third movie is going to be "every generic action movie" with gutted existing characters
Dionysus187
I saw an interview and Perlman was pretty pissed the 'trilogy' was never finished, so he is pretty upset with them doing this instead
Dionysus187
usually wouldnt care but perlman is usually a pretty 'up' and positive guy, to see him want to avoid it like a 'open wound' is rare
soulman901
Let’s see how you feel when you get a role you’ve worked so hard at get ripped away from you. Not good I bet
Nukemouse
The makeup/prosthesis is too large relative to the actor's face. It leaves him looking like he has super tiny eyes, nose and mouth.
Foxhack
That's some shitty facial makeup on the new Hellboy. He looks like he smelled a fart.
CityYeti
I'm going to give this new guy a chance rather than jump on the bandwagon
notkvothethebloodless
I shall respect and salute you even as you are drawn to the stake in which the incels will burn you.
CityYeti
notkvothethebloodless
Go with grace you glorious snow ape
Periah250
I dont much care about the right but god damn is the left true as hell. Get poptarts,the offbrand taste like ass
MandalorianHybrid1
Perlman was perfect, but I think Harbour is gonna be great too in his own way.
xxminynemxx
If they made it look more like David's face it would probably look better
moon2A
Anyone else think Brown Sugar Pop Tarts are literally the worst ones?
TheLeftPocket
And in 15 years when they reboot it again this current one will be godly and the new one trash. Around and around we go.
OneUglyMuthaFukka
15 years!? Try 5 if we're lucky!
skinny87
Will it? Really?
aPokal
I think it's the Star Wars Prequel argument about trashing The Last Jedi.
TheVampireDante
Remakes are rarely seen as better than the original, there's a few cases where it is true, but the standard is usually "leave it alone".
Tarlon
We did get the Dark Knight trilogy after Tim Burton's mixed series. But one could argue that being an exception.
someboreddude
Eh? Tim Burton only did two. The two crappy ones were Joel Schumacher.
aPokal
Ok, the argument is after a few years we calm down and can review the new stuff more on its own merit. Like after the hate for the prequels
aPokal
subsided we got a goldmine for memes out of it.
Tarlon
The prequels still suck though.
Jaofellemelad11
I dont think it looks that bad....
spookywhispering
Why a pink undertone tho? Looks like a good lipstick shade...
jennym123
Truth. Perlman is great and I wish we got him but this new guy doesn't look half bad.
ResponsivePanic
My main issue is his face looks too small for his head in this picture. Makes him look goofy as shit.
leftyshuckles
I'm excited for it. it looks darker and less like mortal Kombat/blade style
Slander7
I was more put off by the upbeat 80s song and the cheap gags in the trailer than the makeup.
ThanosWasNotWrong
It’s not bad but Nerds bitch of everything
jrntn
As a Star Wars fan, I'm just relieved the shitting-on-TLJ brigade has something else to do for a hot second
Tunisia
I don't think it *looks* bad, but the tone of the trailer was worrying.
iwishjtmoneywasstillavailableitsmyoldvideogamemoniker
Me either, I can't wait.
GravyEducation
It looks okay. Seems like a rehash of Perlman and Del Toro rather than a movie trying to try new things
notkvothethebloodless
I think he looks more appropriately demon like and disportionate for some one with a 1 ton stone hand dragging down one half of their body
rylecx
watch the trailer. The prosthetics are cosplay lvl bad
bekkayya
the problem is that is mouth is too high up for his chin. it looks like when people used to make trums face all tiny
bekkayya
*tiny voice* nyyyyyyyaaaaaa im hellboy!
mandoleshea
agreed, Ron Perlman is absolutely fantastic but I find his makeup looks plastic
whitebbwolf
have you seen the comics? they re very abstract and stylized. I think GdT´s version was spot on. I do like the new trailer thou
Dagordae
The new one's closer to the comics. The old one Hellboy is a bit stylized, but it's a different style. Too smooth and pretty.
mattsolid
Ron Perlman pretty much looks like that normally though
commandersalamander1
Not to mention the running joke with Hellboy is that he's ugly AF. People seem to forget that for nostalgia sakes
Imhereforthelurking
Welll.... its more of an informed ugliness... Mignolas art style doesn't really allow for much beauty except aesthetically.
xxminynemxx
His face looks um... fucked up lol
Justsendpowertoit
It's the upper lip, like he's scrunching up his face a bit. Would be great to see a straight on pic
BlackMesaResearchFacilityScientist
*don't
Ragnarok1030
It looks great. People are just being pricks about it bc it’s not Hellboy 3. Don’t get me wrong, I wanted it to but let it go..
[deleted]
[deleted]
Ragnarok1030
It does seem goofier but also..seems way more violent. It is R rated after all.
GravyEducation
Hellboy yelling "I'm on YOUR side" was where I thought, this movie looks too hokey
Slydevil13
yeah I see nothing wrong
AnonOmis1000
They need to trim up those mutton chops a bit, and his forehead is too wrinkly in my opinion, but otherwise hes fine
Slydevil13
I figured that was just him making an expression and the camera caught a weird moment idk
AnonOmis1000
Could be that too!
pvtpastapajamas
finally. someone agrees with me. all i keep seeing is how terrible everyone thinks it is
Dustorn
I'm absolutely going into it with an optimistic attitude, because I love the character and setting (and David Harbour), but it's 1/2
Dustorn
definitely a cautious optimism. I'm still not 100% sold on the overall flavor of the trailer.
Mooseman1991
Anyone who is not familiar with the comics can please but out. The new one is more spot on and the story is WAY better than “Golden Army”
TheHellbilly
Golden army was really meh. More like a toy commercial than a movie, not even close to that tasty darkness of Mignola.
Donaldbain
I am familiar with the comics so please enjoy my butt. It's too early to any kind of judgement, but I don't like what I've seen so far.
mirrorada
This exactly. They went way more for the comic look than just keeping as many of the actors features visible as they could.
GravyEducation
You haven't even seen it. A true Hellboy movie would have like 20 minutes of action
notkvothethebloodless
Hmm its like a interdimensional being that's the spawn of literal evil incarnate doesn't adhere to human standards of beauty. How odd.
spookywhispering
He's pink undertone. Looks more like a new lipstick shade
BlackMesaResearchFacilityScientist
*it's
wotemer
Ron Pearlman doesnt check many of those marks as well.
SerenePrincess013
Speak for yourself. I find Ron Perlman* absolutely gorgeous.
KlausKringle
That's the point, right? I really don't get all the hate. The new one looks 'off' because he is supposed to....
Smaaaash
Except in the past the same character who was still supposed to look 'off' didn't look this 'off'.
notkvothethebloodless
My point exactly. Hes literally not even human. Hes not meant to look good, people are ok with the horns an hand but not everything else
Dionysus187
if you think they are saying he's 'ugly' you are missing the point entirely. 'bad' and 'ugly' are 2 different things
notkvothethebloodless
What I think is that to many people are making bold assumptions about this movie based off one trailer and some shitty set photos
Dionysus187
is it really that bold? do you think his face or overall look is going to change dramatically from what we have seen?
notkvothethebloodless
Honestly I cant say. But I will say I'd rather see the whole movie first and then judge facial movement and make up rather than before
Dionysus187
Thats fair but the entire point of a trailer is so people WILL judge them before hoping they will pay to see it.
Dionysus187
Correct, you can't base the entire movie based on trailer or photos but people swing too far the other way as if it has next to zero infight
Dionysus187
insight*
Dionysus187
no different form when people keep widening the 'context' net. You have to see the movie, the comics, extended universe etc etc
OuroborosX
I hate the internet. It's like the hive-minded decided to hate this, and now everyone has to show who is the most clever in hating it.
notkvothethebloodless
Like with Elon, and Rousey, and any attempt at prototype innovative tech in need of support instead of constant harassment
FractalChainsaw
bekkayya
alternatively; there are legitimate facial issues and the internet is full of creatures evolved to pick up on that kind of thing
bekkayya
if you read the comments section people seem to be in agreement that his face is too small and too high up. he also lacks the signature
bekkayya
square jaw from the comics and last movies
ElDudorino
This version looks absolutely fine and I cant wait to see it. Loved him in the trailer too. Downvote me all you want.
BlackMesaResearchFacilityScientist
*can't
ElDudorino
Yeah I had a longer sentence written, but came up on 140 characters so I skimped back on some words and punctuation. Not that it matters...
BlackMesaResearchFacilityScientist
Sure kid
notkvothethebloodless
WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND YOU FUCKING GRAMMAR NAZIS!?
notkvothethebloodless
No sir, I will not. Only upvotes for your honest, stand up opinion.
Tarlon
No one upvotes me for my honest, stand-up opinions...
notkvothethebloodless
Well have another good sir
Steelwind
Still expect it to be good but he does look off. I guess it is just cause Perlman was so perfect for it.
kristorial
Very true, looking forward to it but Perlman just had that certain special something
FlatPlutoSociety
Yeah. I'd have loved to see Perlman reprise the role, but if they needed to replace him, they made a pretty great choice.
RisingSol
His mouth is too far up to look right
reddawn94
It's because Ron Perlman looks more like a normal human being as Hellboy.
TheGreatAku
It's cuz Ron's mouth is fucking massive and made his face with the prosthetics look balanced
Rodvitner
This is a really bad pic of the new one tbh
anyofmany
he looks „off“ because they want the movie to have a harsher, darker feel to it- and this includes the main character
nevergoingtogiveyouupnevergoingtoletyoudown
He already has a wrinkly demon face, thats why he made such a good vampire too.
Imhereforthelurking
More like he already had the massive square head that Hellboy has.
nevergoingtogiveyouupnevergoingtoletyoudown
You do realize they have been shifting characters to look like the actors right? Heres what Nick Fury looked like pre SLJ
LessThanCrazyMaskSalesman
From his first color, non cover apperance in Next Men #21, for context. I think Pearlman was a close fit, but that's my opinion.
SlyMrFox
That's nice and all, but only Mike Mignola, the creator of Hellboy, is the only one who draws the comics, Hellboy has remained consistent.
nevergoingtogiveyouupnevergoingtoletyoudown

BoobsAndGifs
The chin throws me off. Too much protruding
Imhereforthelurking
Hellboy has a massively jutting jawline too, hell in all sense he looks like a living pez dispenser. The mouth is just too small and high.
Steelwind
I think that nails it. The proportions and location are off for the mouth. Couldn't place it until I read this.
TylerFarts
Yah and it makes him sound super weird too. Was skeptical bc of the reboot announcement, predicting a bad movie bc of the trailer
Imhereforthelurking
Granted, this photo is kinda shit for it. He looks good in others, and an intimidating Hellboy I can live with. I care more about character.
Asadsadsadclown
I'm assuming that shot is going to be color corrected at least, but why the fuck is he so gaunt?!
filben7
That looks gaunt to you? Do you live on steroid island?
notkvothethebloodless
Isnt that where they grow all the protein powder pollen and kettle ball trees? Where its main exports spandex and horse testosterone?
GeekyWhiteBoy
Because that's his real body. Ron was mostly prosthetics
Asadsadsadclown
I mean his face. They built up his cheek bones, chin and brow. His cheeks and eyes are almost skeletal they are so sunken.
feralgnarth
One of the factors from the comics that the creator wanted to emphasize was Hellboy’s eyes glowing out from the shadows of the brow ridge.
feralgnarth
There’s an interview where he talked about being happy to see that emphasized in the new one.
Asadsadsadclown
There are somethings that can only work in animated form. Anime hair, heavy shadows, ephemeral glows.
