People say it's racist
You whities are terribleDirty little secret about the original 1960s story: it was all about xenophobia and our fear of a takeover by the "other" race. People don't like to talk about that, but if they have nuanced that back into the latest movie it's a good thing, because it is what made the original great.
I've seen others make the same connection, but haven't looked into it very much. As I understand, it's a different interpretation of the same concept in this movie.That the same "creature" as in Hellboy's co-worker?
