Just as superhero movies were picking up steam with hits like X-Men and Spider-Man, Columbia took an unconventional comic book character out for a spin in his own movie. Hellboy was directed by Guillermo Del Toro and was enough of a success to justify a sequel as well as a 2019 reboot starring David Harbour. Although the 2004 film is stylistically impressive, it raises a lot of questions. Like what’s up with the bad guys throwing up their banner at secret locations? Why wasn’t Broom afraid of Hellboy when he didn’t know anything about him? Why does John Myers even exist? What’s up with Abe Sapien’s inconsistent breathing? On that same note, what’s up with Guillermo Del Toro being fascinated with mer-men?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to Hellboy! It’s super easy, barely an inconvenience!

“Very inconsistent fish man!” 😂
I demand a gif!
Put this on a t-shirt.
@@trevorlambert4226 with ryans creepy always smiling producer guy face.
Super inconsistent, very inconvenient
Inconsistent fish men are tight
If Ryan ever leaves screen rant, I hope he takes this series with him to his channel
Me too
He does
That would be super easy and barely an inconvenience!
Sadly, he probably doesn't have the rights to the idea since he came up with it while working for Screen Rant.
@@trevorlambert4226 Actually, the first pitch meeting is in his channel, but he probably sold the idea to Screen Rant anyway
“Wait, so if it was established that Hellboy came through a portal, where did fishman and fire girl come from?” “I don’t know!” “Fair enough”
I literally forgot john myers existed.
Who?
;)
I forget about a lot of people.
@@Neo0311 What the hell are "people"?
He still doesn’t
"I didn't know Nazis were so bad at keeping secrets!" "Super bad at it, they just loved banners so much!" ...I mean...this statement...is not...completely devoid of historical basis lmao
so true ! remember the last part of " raiders of the lost ark " ?
@@jonaslesaint3578 That's a historically accurate documentary, so it must be true.
They filmed everything for archival purposes.
So did you do research? Not sure. Fair enough
I mean what's the point of a world war if you can't use branding
"A very inconsistent fish man" That needs to be a t shirt.
Ryan could hold a movie playing as every single character. Change my mind.
What if I don’t
I'd love to see the pitch meeting for that-
Actually that would be super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Well if weird Al can sum up a 3 hr play and play all the roles I could see Ryan doing it
Can't change a mind that's already correct
"We can make him save some cats!" That made me die. Hey you guys should do the Hobbit Trilogy pitch meeting.
I'm more of a dog person, and they should do one for the Hobbit trilogy and the LotR trilogy.
Wish granted!
@@EchthelionII and they should also do the LOTR series with all the extra sex.
Ohhh, new Pitch Meetings are TIGHT!!!
jswords1977 Well okay then
And watching them is super easy, barely an inconvenience.
AJ WoodZ Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!!!
AJ WoodZ, making them is also probably super easy, barely an inconvenience!
@@lauriemulsman9267 Fair Enough
Hey Ryan, please make the executive guy go "WOWWOWWOW"' more often
@Illuminouxs @ 1:05 It was hilarious! I like the old jokes but this was fresh
I read this as he said it, And i second this comment 🤣🤣🤣
Illuminouxs Unclear
balthazarina I’d like it if executive guy went wowwowwow then pitch guy immediately went yeahyeahyeah. That would be a cool new co-op catchphrase.
"Wow Wow Wow" is tight!
but did he do a backflip and snap the bad guys neck and save the day?
Is your house on fire?
@@GCEXTREMEMN hey guys,do you have any water?
@@Bobzillaaaful cost you $15
@@GCEXTREMEMN what if all the characters from all the previous stories all teamed up? :O
@@Bobzillaaaful theyd do backflips and break the bad guys neck and save the day I guess
1:36 That whole Baby Ruth thing, its a nod to the comics where Hellboy actually met Babe Ruth
Psh. It's just a reference to Goonies XP jkjk
Baby Ruth was named after President Grover Cleveland's daughter, Ruth, nicknamed Baby Ruth. Not after Babe Ruth.
@@jmchez Maybe. The company said that, but perhaps they made it up so they wouldn't have to pay money to Babe Ruth.
@@PotrzebieConolly You can be pretty sure that if they'd wanted to call the candy Baby Ivanka, the licensing fees would have been astronomical. AND SOMEHOW NOT QUITE ILLEGAL.
@@jmchez Baby Ruth was created in 1921, which was right when Babe Ruth was becoming famous.... and over 20 years AFTER Grover Cleveland left office. They were 100% trying to cover their a--es with that cockamamie story.😆
"A very inconsistent fish man" Lmao 😂😂😂
This pitch meeting was posted the day of Ron Perlman's birthday. Great timing!
WowWowWow.
Oooh, very suspicious!
Ron Perlman, what's his deal?
@@Wis_Dom the actor who played the original Hell Boy
Ron Perlmans birthday is also my birthday
"A very inconsistent fish man!" is a sentence I didn't know I needed to hear and yet I did.
A Freaky Friday pitch meeting would be hilarious! Writer guy can say “tight” and the executive can say “Super easy barely and inconvenience”
2 years later it never got made ☹️
@@DC.TheAtom_Edits still a good idea....3 years later
@@cjraymond8827 ikr
"And John Meyers just stands there 'cause, you know, whatever." 😄
My wife is a cancer patient and she loves your channel, especially the pitch meetings. Her favorite television show is the original Charmed series from the late '90s and she would love to see you guys do a pitch meeting for the series or even just an episode. I know you guys are busy, but I hope you'll consider doing this someday. I know it would make her day. Thanks for your time, you guys are great.
Is your wife any better?
@@richie9440 Same question…
She has since gone into remission and the doctors are very hopeful it will continue to go in the right direction. Thank you for the concern. She really appreciates it.
Woow nice I'm glad :D
That’s great that she’s doing good.
Please make: “Oh very suspicious” “Don’t know what you mean” Into another reoccurring catch phrase please!
I have a theory that Ryan is playing both the characters.
But that's just a theory.
That's a reach dude...
Sounds a lot like John Olivers Olsen twins theory
That's a hypothesis, boi.
Fake news
Please do a Supernatural pitch meeting. I'm sure it will be super easy, barely an inconvenience
Yes!
And during one episode, we'll be popular enough to do a crossover with I dont know... the Scooby Doo cartoon. That sounds like fun. People love that funny talking dog. A demon will kill people in the cartoon world, with decapitation and guts. ...
They don’t do shows do they? That would be great if they did. Pitch meetings for tv shows are tight!
@@SunflowerSpotlight he did a pitch meeting for Friends
I have something better: Kick-Ass pitch meeting!!
Hey, reference to the "save the cat" book, great
Whose author, ironically, wrote only two movies, and they were both terrible.
@@egregius9314 lmaooooo
@4:23 "I don't knoooow!". Best line ever! 😂😂 League of Extraordinary Gentleman please 👍🏼
I'm calling dibs on "Inconsistent Fishman" as my new band name.
This pitch meeting was better than Hellboy(2019) R.I.P. my $12.50
F
L
Mark Keller Poor guy... literally
Daaamn! America is NOT cheap!!!
Was the movie that bad? ? I'm debating on going lol
I think these videos are so addicting not because they're funny, but because I would really love to pitch something to someone as enthusiastic as this guy.
i dont know why but the line "oh a very inconsistent fishman" is my favorite line in any pitch meeting
4:14 The movie _does_ address what happened to the eggs. Tom Manning held a briefing after Trevor Bruttenholm's funeral, were he mentioned that they _"collected and destroyed thousands of eggs"_ while searching for Sammael and Rasputin. It wouldn't be a stretch to reason that, after the incident, Abe Sapien notified the BPRD personnel to handle the eggs.
Boo! Nerd!
I am now just realizing we don't know how Sammael got to Moscow though....
Going on a limb to explain the unexplainable is TIGHT
Good as the videos are, they do miss things from time to time
Well, guess we have to unsubscribe
Hellboy 2: Oh does he go through hell fighting demons to rescue her soul? No he whispers in her ear
This is probably the first American movie I have watched in my life. I remember watching the movie on TV on a Thursday. Not really related to the video, but I'm so excited to see someone talking about it after all these years. I never knew what the name of this movie was, and now I know!
I said "I already didn't do that though" to someone at work this week and I blame you, Ryan.
"I could have him save some cats." "Oh, that's very good!" "Yeahyeahyeah!"
Watching these Pitch Meetings is super easy barely an inconvenience!
Fair enough!
“Are they paying you or something?” [while holding $100 bills behind the script] “Not at all. I think it’s a fantastic product.”
Well back then He was sneaky with that, nowadays there are products doing stuff for a featurelength add
Lego sales guy: Hey DC comics will you feature our product in your Batman movies? DC Comics guy: Heck no, how low do you think we will stoop. Lego sales guy: Well screw it, we will just make our own movies! DC Comics guy: Um, you wouldn't mind putting Batman in that movie, would you?
Rocky and Creed Pitch Meetings. All of them!
And Rambo all of them!
"Uh oh plot twist." That got me the most, just, the delivery.
Back to the future pitch meeting please. EDIT: I'm not gonna get off your back script writer until you make a Back to the future pm.
Why Are you doing this?
@@tdpp2006 Because he give permission to request a pitch meeting idea in the comments.
@@theshape3988 Dunno maybe "as good as its get " maybe
@@mr.person4050 cool. er I am just repeating Ryan's catchphrase..
@@tdpp2006 and i'm answering your catchphrase because i can.
“Yeah, no, I already didn’t do that though!” 🤣Damn that’s good writing!
"Hell boy's clothes fire proof too??" "Well lets skip that part" "Wow wow wow wow"
1:52 Ohhhh very suspicious! Petition for this to become atleast a semi-recurring catchphrase.
who clicks like before they watch the video?? This guy!
If you don’t click like before the video your a monster
Yup!
Me
@@kadeemdalley5851 Sorry that I like to see the quality of the video before watching it, I must be a monster
Liking a video without watching first is Super Easy, Barely an inconvenience. Oooh Predetermined likes are TIGHT Oh Yeah
Pitch meetings are tight! But for real, I love this series. Keep at it!
Finally got around to watching the newest hellboy. Please please please do a pitch meeting on it! Love your videos! Have been binging through them during quarentine.
First, never stop making these. Second, I’d love to see pitch meetings for any of the original Christopher Reeve Superman films!
These brighten my days
I've literally seen about 30 of these and still this hasn't gotten old to me.
Came in not knowing why this is recommended to me, left wanting more content. Amazing work!
Soooo... You're gonna have to make.. a lot more of these... I have hardcore binged and NEED more of this in my life XD
I've been binging these screen rants all night. Best thing on youtube I have seen in a while. It's funny because it's true!
Producer: "Things are TIGHT!" Me: "Oh very generic producer dialogue!"
: how did you end up watching 100 of this videos? Me : i don't know!
love your pitch meetings. You Rock!
Just now noticed that the metal gauntlet Rasputin uses to bring Hellboy to Earth is modeled after Hellboy's stone arm. Also, the Nazis mention that the island is uninhabited.
Turning Hellboy into a Deadpool reboot is TIGHT!
"I already didn't do that though..." my new mantra 😆
I’ve only watched three of these videos, but I can already tell ‘super easy, barely an inconvenience’ is this show’s catchphrase.
You know you’ve watched too many pitch meetings when u start saying ‘super easy, barely an inconvenience’ in regular conversation
Whoa so glad i clicked it was super easy barley an inconvenience
I dunno, I think that barley is a pretty hearty grain that has been a great benefit to civilization, not an inconvenience.
Timothy Graham His comment shouldn’t have more likes than yours.
@@quintenpena693 whoops!
I just love all of these pitch meetings. They're super tight.
Love your work 🤣🤣 And your sarcastic comedy
Love you screenrant
Screen Rant is meh on a good day, but I love George Ryan!
Your soo funny 😂😂😂 love the vid
“Oooh things are TIGHT!!!” This is just too much 😭😂🤣🤣🤣
Great work man
a bit OT: "Save the Cat" is one of the best books on script-writing ever! And it's short, so reading it is super easy...
Barely an inconvenience!
Save the cat moment, new one, I've heard of a pet the dog moment but save the cat, new one on me
Is that the same thing? I've not heard of pet the dog moments
Don’t forget the lick the lizard moment.
There is an entire screenwriting book about it.
Well, they were kittens, so.....
I think it's "kick the dog(puppy) moment".
i SO love these, i have even started to say 'barely an inconvenience' along with you . lol lol lol
Ryan! You destroy all the lovable memories of our favorite movies. I love it!!
Hellboy 2019,... Me; Hey Hellboy! You got corn stuck in your teeth. Hellboy; Them corns is my teeth. :-/
"A very inconsistent water man!!!" Lol😂😂😂😂📤🔊 XD
Rewatching pitch meetings is tight!!
Ryan, I like all of your pitch meetings, you are freaking hilarious 😁😂🤣
A Pitch Meeting for The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and/or The Hobbit Trilogy would be so tight!
Joseph Keenan Gutierrez true
Making to pitch meeting on time must be very hard. Not at all super easy barely an inconvenience
Oh, really.
Making pitch meeting on time is TIGHT!
This one was on point and hilarious, like OG pitch meeting. Loved it!
I love how the money is Canadian!
You know, things *are* TIGHT.
Loved the film making terminology
great channel. thank you !
Gotta love these pitch meetings.
You should do Howard the Duck the week of Avengers Endgame
I’ve just discovered that there is no Lord of the Rings pitch meeting! Please? Would you?
Subscribed. This is gold
"A very inconsistent fishman". These just keep getting better
I watched this movie in 2010 when I was a little boy and this was peak cinema for me. It's still leagues ahead of stuff Marvel's been putting out in phase 4
better than anything in the mcu
"in 2010 when I was a little boy" Jesus.
The Interview pitch meeting
Great job!
The genius of this skit is how often he says John Myers 🤣
Please do Serenity and Fight Club!
Please do a Pitch Meeting on 1979's Phantasm!
I love you Ryan! I recently discovered you and watched around 50s of your videos in 2 days. Ryan is tight! 😝
I need to rewatch the first 2 Hellboy movies sometime. I'ts been so long, I hardly remember what happened in those movies.
This was actually a good comic book movie but the criticisms are totally fair. Lol
The inconsistency of Abe Sapien's need for water particularly, that was just bad continuity.
Pitch Meetings are tight..... Yea Yea Yea!!!
Carlton Rose wawwawwaw
these are always fun to watch
"Things are tight" 😂😂
"'...Liz Sherman, and her and Hellboy kind of have a thing.' 'Oh, things are TIGHT.'" o_O
Yeahyeahyeah!
whoa I'm on time!
I loved the delivery of This! It's hilarious dude
"Thing's are Tight!!" LMFAO!!
