Someone as knotty asHellboyhas to have some pretty formidable opposition so as to even remain interesting , demon or not . That ’s why oppose him up against some giant in theHellboyreboot was an ingenious idea , even if the movie itself was all over the place . face strong monsters is all-important to Hellboy ’s narrative , especially since he ’s often the most herculean being in the room himself .
Some of the animal he ’s kick the bucket up against have fallen a snatch flat , often due to the restriction of visual spiritualist and special effect , but movie Creator unremarkably give the expectant red scamp something he can really thump his five - fingered Mary into .
Gruagach
Gruagach was quite deadly to human race in theHellboyreboot , which is no surprise given how Brownie can become nefarious when they are disrespect . Even so , he was never a real threat to HB , which is one of the ground why the movie flopped , among many others . Gruagach was best by Hellboy in Changeling configuration and the only real danger he present was his thirst for vengeance , which helped Nimue return to business leader .
Even in the comics , he wasn’tone of the scariest villainsRed has ever faced and it did n’t make a lot of horse sense to let in him in the film among the many other villains uncommitted .
Prince Nuada
Nuada was a fairly cool , and even hot , baddie whom fans enjoy to see fight in action , but the only real risk he give to HB was via poisonous substance – and his own impregnability , given that had Red harmed him , he ’d also harm his impeccant sister , whom also happen to beAbe’slove interestingness .
Hellboy is known leave a crash behind him , but he does n’t like civilian casualties , so he did his good to avoid harm the prince , whose army , weapons and admittance to toothy fay were all much more unsafe than he was . To be clean , the prince also made Red inquiry his position in the man , which could be grievous to the destiny of the world .
The Last Elemental
Another really cool being that Hellboy faced inHellboy II : The Golden Army , the Last Elemental was an actual woodland god that HB hated to take on since he came from the same land of myth , closed book and magic that Hellboy belong to himself .
The god was Lovecraftian in a way that speaks of Mignola ’s work and symbolized HB ’s select humankind and the modern human beings over supernatural creatures like himself , but it was n’t all that difficult for him to fight . He even did it while holding a baby , for Broom ’s sake . When he took the wight out , it felt more like a release than a triumph .
Nimue
The rip Queen is entail to be an incredible opposition , but in the Hellboy reboot she is a wasted scoundrel . Not only does she rely on a Brownie , of all things , to reassemble her into business leader , but she does n’t even seem as powerful as she ’s meant to be . In the comics , she went insane after Merlin commit her power and she learn of the Ogdru Jahad , and in the moving picture all of her minion flee as before long as Hellboy set about . That ’s not a very good vote of confidence .
Nimue ’s best plus against HB seems to be her drawing card to him , which is just silly given how quickly he off her . Many critic argue that she should n’t have even been in the film , which should have focalize on the chilling Baba Yaga .
The Golden Army
Young Hellboy ’s enthrallment with the Golden Army of his father ’s story is lovely , so when he actually gets to battle the forces at hired man it ’s almost a dream come true for him . It ’s a long , strenuous project for anyone who does n’t moderate the army , but that ’s why the regular army is n’t nearly as frightening as it should be : the person who put up the crown controls them , and Liz just burns it and renders the entire army useless to anyone .
HB could have well grabbed the crown while combating Nuada and had Liz take it out at that moment , but then we would n’t have had one of the coolheaded scenes in the movie .
Sammael
Hellboy 2 was n’t as pretty and stylish as del Toro ’s first film , but the original motion-picture show was just better in execution and grittiness . Sammael , the Hound of Resurrection , was a prime example . It seemed an easy beast to dispatch but Hellboy soon find that it was more like a Lovecraftian hydra who only returned each time , complete with orchis that spawn into full - grown infernal region hound rather quickly .
Sammael is the stark baddie for HB to find himself up against because he always want to fight first and ask interrogative sentence after , which is just not a sound strategy with this character of monster .
Giants
It was n’t even a fair fighting when HB went up against the giants who nearly destroy him , given that he ’d just been ambushed by his own team , the Osiris Club . The snare had been obvious from the start , which was only a part of its failure as a plastic film , but it also left him vulnerable to the giant ' blast .
Still , the ghastly shot was one of Hellboy ’s best , displaying what an instinctive combatant he is and equate his force against beings with even more than he possesses . contract them out exhausts Red , which is order something . Had he been at full forcefulness he still would have had his hand full .
Baba Yaga
Many viewers left field disjointed , wonder why someone as terrifying and dangerous as Baba Yaga was infix as one of the most compelling villains we ’ve ever seen Hellboy face on movie … only to be allow behind in her traveling , wimp - legged house .
HB has a history with the Slavic witch , but it ’s only touch to as he front her and the audience never even learns why she , Gruagach and Nimue all have to even make an appearance . She was apparently more malefic than any of the other organism in the moving picture , difficult to fight and should have been the principal opponent .
Tooth Fairies
The tooth fairies that Hellboy and the gang faced in the second del Toro film were some of the most violent and severe tool they fought on pic . Indeed , they were in more peril with these tiny creature than they were even in the Goblin Market , and withoutLiz Sherman , they would have certainly all been eaten to bit .
This has contribute many to question precisely why any people , anywhere , rest alive with these ravenous creatures in world . As apace as they choose out a building of man , why do n’t they do the same across the globe ? Obviously when contained , they can be kept at bay , even if it is barbarous to starve them .
Ogdru Jahad
While the tooth queen can do inst damage and take out an intact building in moment , the Ogdru Jahad are apparently more unsafe since they can jeopardise the entire creation . These Lovecraftian villains are designed for one role : to lend about the Apocalypse .
They are the Dragon of Revelation and the main antagonist in the intact comic series , even if they ’re not unremarkably in on the action . That ’s just because they ’re so knock-down that they are lag , and many other villains attempt to free them to bring about Armageddon in various arc . These Seven Gods of Chaos are the most serious beings in both the film and the funnies , even if HB managed to dodge them sort of easily in the first movie .
