*Image of Hellboy II: The Golden Army by Wallpaper Flare. AUDIO: Tip; Right-click on volume then click on Loop of the drop-down menu for continuous play. The Gret of Regret, Soliloquy I remember, but naught too well, the first time of Hellboy, an earthy creature, a-must-be, heaven would naught have created a being such as he, and after all, he's naught an "it", oh no, for he thinks -- methinks, much too straight-forwardly and on his feet to boot. Move before they do and always get to the upper hand of things, seems to be his John Madden playbook of the '70s. Why bother with logic and reason when Hellboy is dealing with fragile minds bent on world conquest. The Golden Army, the Hellboy movie I've seen some years ago when my kids, were kids -- and I being the eldest. Vagueness plagues me to no end, but the inkling gist was a brother and sister duo, but sadly, naught so much so, for sister played her own brother and teamed with Hellboy instead. The telltale sign envisioned in the frat's eyes, being the wherewithal, their Ides of March to be -- in arrears, of betrayal. To be undone by the one, by the very one. Life can be fleeting but we came to know that honor fleets faster. Though the appearance of its angle for the perspective of the movie was considered simply as a sidetrack sorta thing, yet in and of itself, became the films main attraction, piquing interest within the audiences already situated in full enjoyment of the twist, and how it will all play out in that, edge-of-the-seat moment. Alas, ambiguity wins at the end, for death did occur, but whose? Naught Hellboy, I'm certain of that! 2022 January 28 *2nd Place* Mignolaverse ~~Robert James Liguori: Judged 2022 January 31

You have my thanks, Lasaad, for taking particular note of my shortcomings as an actual concurrence of opinions, validifying an intrigue within itself and therefore enhancing the plot in a distinctive perspective as I've intended my friend, Aloha!
