Now lets get into todays video of the Hellboy Red Band Trailer 2 Explained
Complete with a remix of Smoke on the Water we got the latest Hellboy Trailer and I cant
wait to break it all down In the opening scene we get a close look at the origin of Hellboy
with a Nazi wearing his own version of 3D goggles for some reason.
The first trailer offered us a failed comedic viewing of the film that was trying too much
to follow in the footsteps of Guillermo del Toro and in the words of Mila Jovovich herself,
who plays the Blood Queen, - it sucked.
This trailer focuses more on foul language, a ton of violence, mythical creatures and
leans more into the darker gothic tone from the original comic book series as promised
by Neil Marshall.
Baby Hellboy!
He gets a surprise here of his origin story by none other than Lady Hatton played by Sophie
Okonedo.
Ms. Hatton is a mystic and helped the Osiris Club conduct a seance in 1866 to receive immortality
so that they may see the last days of man and the coming of a king who would refuse
his crown but in the end would lead his soldiers into battle.
The club must then remove his right hand to elevate themselves over all that remains.
Hellboy was that possible candidate to become King.
Peering more into the origin of Hellboy, we get a closer look at Hellboys adopted father
Professor Bruttenholm played by Ian McShane.
This isnt the first time weve seen Hellboys adopted father though he was part of the previous
films, except he was played by actor John Hurt.
Next we have Bruttenholm preparing his team for a war against what he calls the 5th century
sorcerous coming to London to bring about the end of the world.
Its a much better more gothic look at the character of Nimue the Blood Queen as she
strolls the streets of London dusting people like shes Thanos.
(Now just in that clip alone a lot is happening.
We see a member of the Wild Hunt getting a dagger straight through his head from a clearly
upset Hellboy.
Judging by the size of the cut in his chest, one of them turned on him and that did not
sit well.
In the comic books at least they attempt to kill him before he could claim his birthright
as a descendant of Mordred, so its possible this is that moment.
Then the trailer cuts to a dark scene in the woods where we see some supernatural hand
to hand combat with Alice Monaghan and Ben Daimo.
After Alice literally punches the spirit out of her enemy she looks at her hands almost
surprised by what just happened.
To give some backstory Alice was rescued by Hellboy as an infant when fairies had kidnapped
her to raise as their own.
So its possible in that time they instilled some sort of fairy magic or powers that shes
now discovering.
Next we have the Blood Queen attempting to court Hellboy.
She asks him why he would choose to fight for those that fear him and that he was meant
for this.
What THIS is exactly is to become her king and assist in bringing about the end of the
world.
In that sequence as well we see his little hand, surprising I know, grabbing the handle
of the excalibur sword and taking his place as Anung Un Rama.
Leaning more on that gruesome, cosmic-goth vibe this clip says it all.
We see something straight out of Silent Hill emerging from the bowels of hell and showing
off his power by chopping a civilian in half mid-air.
As the beginning of the end seems to be taking place we also get a cool shot of more of those
bat like demon monsters flying through the air with Ben driving pretty casually.
Now getting a closer look at Alice in some action scenes as she blows on her new BPRD
brass knuckles, or silver I guess after knocking out some bad guys.
Then we have Hellboy trying to psych Ben up for a fight by giving him a big punch to the
face with that huge right hand.
Following that moment of encouragement we see Ben transforming for the first time into
his were-jaguar form acquired after his death in a Bolivian Jungle.
While trying to rescue a group of nuns from a hidden cult that worshipped a native Jaguar
god, the cult killed Ben which brought him face to face with the Jaguar spirit and induced
horrific visions into the soldier before declaring his new life would begin.
Now we get to see him in full Jaguar form teaming up with Hellboy and man does it look
cool.
We get a closer look a Baba Yaga as well the legendary witch of Russian folklore that lives
inside of that Chicken Leg House you saw walking there.
Very gross, but we see Hellboy and the Blood Queen making out in what looks like a room
thats raining blood.
Then cut to Hellboy aka Anung Un Rama which means - and upon his brow is set a crown of
flame - also known as the Beast of the Apocalypse riding a friggin dragon over a river of lava.
You cant get much more apocalyptic than that.
Last but not least we see a completely destroyed London, theres fire everywhere and Hellboy
leaps off of the dragon to smash what looks like a horde of zombies as the Blood Queen
makes one final plea for him to join her.
Its a comedic final line to the new trailer, but it doesnt feel over played like the first
teaser for this movie was.
This trailer is much more akin to Mike Mignolas original writing and offers up a lot in regards
to character introduction, gore, storyline and just cooler monsters in general.
That has been the Hellboy Red Band Trailer 2 Explained.
