listen,

Jack Kesy's Hellboy? It's good. I love it, I'm so hyped about it, and I'm counting down the days until release (Sept 27th!)* (*UK release!)

(opinion rambles below)

Kesy's a comic fan- he's read them. He understands the character, he loves Hellboy just as much as I do. I can't wait to see him bring Hellboy to life.

And the film? I think it's going to be fantastic. They've chosen a more manageable story to adapt to the screen instead of trying to squeeze his entire arc into >2 hours, and it's one of the more iconic ones in the comics- allegedly one of Mignola's favourites! Yeah, it's a horror movie- have you read Mignola's work? He doesn't fuck around when it comes to macabre concepts. I could argue that Hellboy fits comfortably in the horror genre.

There are clips from the trailer that are immediately recognizable as moments in the comics, and Hellboy's lines (the few we've been blessed with so far) are just so him, I dare say that my hopes are up for an adaptation that finally shows us who he really is.

No, this isn't a reboot, the director himself said as much:

"Whilst [the Del Toro] films are much beloved by fans, according to Crooked Man director Brian Taylor it's not exactly a true take on the character - and that's for both him and Hellboy creator Mike Mignola. As Taylor tells Total Film [...]: "As cool as those other movies were, even Mignola will tell you it's not quite his character.""

And Mignola did!

"Mignola teases the upcoming film as “a much more grounded Hellboy movie and the most faithful adaptation of one of my stories.”"

How exciting is that!

I'm so sad to see this movie, which has such amazing potential and already looks fantastic, getting hate because it isn't Del Toro's Hellboy. As a comic Hellboy fan, I want to see my Hellboy on screen, and I don't want to see him getting hate because he's not fitting the standards of something he isn't.

I'm so, so excited for this, knowing that the director and the cast are making this with the comic fans in mind, and that Mike Mignola himself is working closely with them to give us something great.

I do sort of wish western anime fans would analyze anime and manga from a framework of japanese historical and cultural context. Specifically a lot of works from the 90s being influenced by the general aimlessness and ennui that a lot of people were experiencing due to the burst in the bubble economy and the national trauma caused by the sarin terrorist attack. I think in interacting with media that’s not local to our sociocultural/sociopolitical sphere it’s easy to forget that it’s influenced and shaped by the same kinds of factors that influence media within our own cultural dome and there ends up being this baseline misalignment of perception between the causative elements of a narrative and viewer interpretation of those elements. It’s a form of death of the author that i think, in some measure, hinders our ability to fully understand/come to terms with creator intent and the full scope of a work’s merits

Yes, Greece still exists, we didn't all die 2000 years ago. Yes, people speak Greek. You people are so fucking stupid for real. So many of you claim to love ancient shit but can't even acknowledge the actual living culture of the people whose mythology and classics you romanticize. You keep leaving annoying comments about how you just forget Greek people still exist, thinking you're being quirky because you love ancient stuff soooo much that you forgot about the people it came from. You think about it so little you don't even realize that an actual Greek person has to read this shit, making it clear how little you actually care about the culture beyond the romanticized (and westernized) mythology. Don't claim you love Greece, don't use our mythology anymore if you can't acknowledge that we're still around without making it about how little you think about us. It's mind boggling that you'd think a Greek person would read this and think you're anything but obnoxious. Explode.

my main advice for writing an enemies to lovers relationship is to resist the urge to make the characters' loathing and attraction mutually exclusive opposing forces. it's okay if they're getting weirdly into it and having Thoughts whilst also sincerely wanting to kill each other with hammers.

main take aways from Halloween (1978) rewatch:

michael myers is canonically 21??? this bitch should be at the club

*sees tiddies* ***MURDEROUS RAMPAGE NOISES***

that's it that's the movie

outside of the fact that everyone who has sex is murdered by the narrative, this is a surprisingly chill portrayal of female sexuality? these teen girls are horny and actively enjoying Getting It On with their boytoys. no pushy boyfriends sneaking in through their bedroom windows--these ladies are taking the initiative to sneak out and GET SOME. one of them gets laid and then immediately orders her boyfriend to get her a beer. (yes she gets Slashered soon afterward, but so does the boyfriend so honestly, gender equality.) yes the Final Girl is the only one not having sex, but she's not bullied for that, nor are her friends slut shamed except possibly by being murdered by the narrative

actually the only character who is shown being morally condemned on-screen is michael myers. specifically FOR his violent overreaction to other people's sex lives. (people he is spying on). metaphorically, the villain is American Puritanism sticking its judgy nose into other people's business.

aka Michael Myers Is A Republican

but actually the real villain is the doctor. guy's a judgemental, shaming, pathologizing asshole. and he's been in charge of michael's care since he was SIX YEARS OLD? kid never had a chance. i'd go on a killing spree too

also the parents. where are the parents? it's halloween night and all the teenage girls are home babysitting their younger siblings? come to think of it, michael's first victim was his own older sister, whom he killed while she was babysitting him. teen girls are really shouldering a labour burden here. maybe parentification is the true villain

side note: mike commits his first murder wearing a clown costume...which is never referenced again? his 'iconic' costume is a generic mask and wig and jumpsuit, when we coulda had a Killer Clown Michael Myers??? travesty

i like how the Final Girl and her friend casually smoke weed in her car. yeah she's an honor student and her friend is the sheriff's daughter. yeah they smoke weed. so what it's 1978

(to reiterate, mike is 21 and should be at the club. im not saying he shouldn't be rampaging, im saying it's sad that he broke out, tasted freedom for the first time in his life, and immediately snuck back into his childhood home to go rampaging. let's have a remake where he goes to a nightclub and has a few beers. maybe some slutty dancing. then rampage)

oh no he's hot
