    When he overwinds his heartclock, he overclocks his reaction-speed. Opponents are all effectively in slow-motion to him, hence why he can deflect bullets and overcome armed-soldiers with just his blades.

      There were a lot of problems with the most recent Wolf game, but your attribution of the problems is just comical. It says more about you than it does anything else.
      Also, why don't you actually, I dunno, learn what the word "leftist" means. Because it doesn't mean what you think it means (hint: it has nothing to do with liberals, let alone any specific annoying things certain liberals do).
      Your calling a product from a large corporation "leftist" shows you have no idea what it means. The other associations you've made with it demonstrate that, too.

It’s not some 12 year old redditor’s idea of DEEP it’s an actual writer’s talent being infused into the character to create something new. That is the Art of Filmmaking, and why film adaptions aren’t always a recipe for disaster.

    @Noteven0 3 місяці тому +1

    Karl Ruprecht Kroenen loved performing when he was a child. After losing his angelic voice to puberty, he discovered his passion for acting. As such, every movement Kroenen makes is exaggerated for dramatic effect. Kroenen hates the natural order so much that he has dedicated his every movement to mocking the living.
    The armor, the mask and the heart key are just costume pieces, none of it is necessary to sustain his "life" because obviously, he's not alive. He is an undead mockery of nature.
    Even the death spasm he exibits is just part of his bizarre performance. Kroenen confirms this when he gets up off the dissection table in professor Broom's laboratory and proceeds to get dressed, replacing his heart key last, as if to emphasize the fact that he doesn't actually need it.

    Thanks for doing this. I'm a huge fan of the first Hellboy movie.. It's a shame Ron Perlman and Del Toro kept us so long in suspense for a third film and ultimately let us down with a no. But well, at least we still getting more Hellboy and I really can't wait for it... The first Hellboy, with all these Nazi themes, Victorian era settings and steampunk elements (the character you just went through), really blew me away. It will always be considered to me, a masterpiece.
    Edit* I missed out one of the core elements which is actually that very Lovecraftian vibe, especially when the elder god was awakened. It was goosebumps I tell'ya. ; )

    His gas mask is in a display in the second movie. You can see Krauss looking at it in one of the scenes, so at some point they must have gone back to finish him off instead of just assuming he won't eventually find his way out from under the gear. They probably made some precautions to make sure he can't kill whatever recovery crew sent to make sure he's neutralized, and they probably dismembered him just to be sure.
