The Ting Tings offer a sassy refutation of ignominy and alienation—themes that ought to be at the heart of Hellboy's story of a housebroken miscreant (standing in for the formerly misunderstood teen). The Golden Army is too snarkily satisfied with its illusion of subversion to actually examine the issue of inherited cynicism (Hellboy fights a evil scion who wants to usurp his father's throne and command an underground army—"a harbinger of death, the unstoppable tide"). This idea was also handled better in Adam Sandler's 2000 Little Nicky, a sketch-comedy revue about an individual (the son of Satan) discovering his own morality. The Ting Tings' exuberance celebrates what Sandler's persevering half-demon/half-angel desired. Their cheekiness, like Nicky's irreverence, subtly reconsiders modern ethics and identity—themes Hellboy fails to accomplish.
