I honestly think that Mignola had some differences with del Toro’s vision and was more of an obstacle than was ever revealed.

Also a LOT has changed in the past 15 years or so especially with regards to what is considered appropriate or not.

That isn’t the impression I got from the involved parties’ (admittedly vague) comments about a proposed threequel. It seemed like the main stumbling block was some issue Mike Mignola had with the films’ approach, either in the earlier entries or in how they’d do a third one. He, Perlman and Del Toro sat down to…

Think of all the money they would save on makeup and prosthetics by just hiring Ron Perlman. He rolls out of bed ready to film Hellboy.

Because Guillermo del Toro was never going to get back to it in a million years. They’ll blame the studios, but del Toro and Perlman are big names that get movies made and Hellboy is an existing franchise- studios would trip over eachother to throw money at that combo, but del Toro wasn’t in the mood, and everyone…

Though personally I think Tom Waits would have been more fun.

Ooh okay that makes a lot of sense

I thought they were pretty clear about her being whole again. There’s a picture of her and Stilton in one of the rooms that shifts into void-yness after The Outsider pays her a visit, and the way Dishonored usually goes the “good path” is the canonical one, so that would mean Emily saved Stilton in the past which is…

In the original Dishonored, most of the non-lethal options were torturous and not necessarily preferable to death. This seem like standard operating procedure at this point to make even the non-lethal option morally ambiguous.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but I remember Zodiac being full of exactly the type of performances you’re describing. It’s a really great movie.

I thought he was fantastic in Carnivàle. In a second season that leaned way too heavily on meaningless fantasy tropes and over-the-top villainy, he nicely underplayed a character who could’ve easily been another one-dimensional cartoon baddie.

Carnivale was the first thing I ever saw him in. Also would’ve loved to hear more about what it was like to work on THAT show. RIP.

Yeah the non lethal route is definitely not always the most humane. I love that about that option though. Taking the non lethal route in a lot of other games always gave a sense of giving the character a moral high ground. In Dishonored the non lethal choice is very frequently the more horrific of the available…

Bank Heists are awesome. My favorite level in Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory let you go all Ocean’s 11 too, which was tremendous fun.

Definitely valid with the caveat that the Duke’s replacement went on to become both a staunch ally to Emily and a far kinder ruler than the real Duke, and the mentally broken scientist might have been shattered, but later journals alluded to his kinder and gentler nature now that he’d been mentally broken. Might have…

I agree. I remember him from Volcano. I can recall almost nothing else about the movie (something about a Volcano in LA?), but I remember him dying heroically in a subway scene. Somehow, he stood out in a bit part in an otherwise crappy and totally unremarkable disaster movie.

I thought they were ambiguous whether she had a restored arm or some kind of fancy prosthetic. You also don’t see her face until after the Outsider gets to her, so it’s impossible to tell if she has both eyes or not.

But for some weird reason, he hated Christopher Nolan movies. Like he fell asleep during Inception, didn’t like The Dark Knight Rises because it didn’t feature Man-Bat, didn’t like Interstellar. That made me like Nolan more, because he could have sent Knowles any crappy prop from a set and called him while he was…

I have yet to play the 2nd one, but I remember the first Dishonored had a “good” option to kidnap a woman and hand her over to her stalker rather than just killing her. That hardly seems preferable.

Man, it’s one thing to have that thought cross your mind, it’s another thing to put it out for the world to read unless you’re clearly mocking your ridiculous thoughts. I’m guessing he was being sincere... yikes.
