Although it is also a branch of superhero comics, "The Golden Legion" is very different from other comics and film predecessors. Spider-Man hangs down from the spider web of the comics, jumping between cities, the blind lawyer Daredevil doesn't sleep well at night, roaming the building like a sleepwalker, the Hulk is even more unwilling to be lonely, wearing The purple shorts screamed furiously with tanks and planes, but their essence was the image of a pure American police officer, upholding justice, repairing the evil, and finally turning the tide and saving the earth.
In addition to these orthodox comic hero movies, there are other abnormal hero images, whose purpose is to subvert our poisoned mindset and provide some other strange imaginations.
Although "The Golden Legion" cannot provide a thorough deconstruction like "Shrek", it is at least somewhat like "Superman"'s teasing of "Superman" and "Dragonfly"'s parody of genetic mutant Superman , with a little humorous plot and realistic monster design to capture people's desire to watch movies.
And it also has its own golden mean: arrange a good love for the hero as usual, destroy the deadly villain as usual, and save all mankind. Moreover, the movie also added a lot of these heroes' lives, feelings, troubles and so on. For example, the conflict between the husband and wife of Flame Man and the Fire Girl, the hazy interracial love between the fish and the princess... It is very humane.
In order to make me more comfortable, I still want to call "Flame Man" "Hellboy", which can make him appear darker. Indeed, as the son of the devil Satan abandoned in the world, Hellboy has a terrible dark The mysterious origin of the man is very likely to hide the mystery of destroying human beings, almost like Naruto in "Naruto", like a time bomb.
This reminds me of a previous "Rebirth" Simon, who is also an anti-hero image, but Simon before the rebirth is a human, and his human element is doomed to his heroic image, while the Hellboy in "Flame" , like Sun Wukong jumping out of a stone, belongs to non-human beings. Such a background determines that there will be some weird suspense in the "Hellboy" series of movies.
If there is a sequel, I am willing to continue to look forward to it.
