i think we need to move beyond the criticism of “pretentious” — it solves nothing. a dumb viewer needs to be self-aware that it’s their stupidity that holds them back — it’s not the responsibility of every art object to make itself understandable to halfwits.

And this isn’t a movie where there’s a ton of action or comedy that gives it momentum where you don’t notice that your butt’s gone numb.

This isn’t the first time Abe Sapien has appeared outside of Hellboy! Did you know Abe Sapien showed up in The Cabin in the Woods!?
