M-P.org Starring Roles: Hellboy II

 


LIZ SHERMAN IN “HELLBOY II”

Welcome to the tenth edition of M-P.org’s Starring Roles - a feature that connects WWE’s A-List Diva with the Hollywood Melina as Liz Shermanlifestyle she often projects. With this, we will examine certain female roles in current and topical films and see how Melina could embody those roles.

This week, with the release of ”Hellboy II: The Golden Army”, we’ll look at how Melina could take on Selma Blair’s role of Liz Sherman, the pyrokinetic paranormal investigator and girlfriend to Hellboy. Liz was a normal child until her pyrokinetic abilities began to manifest themselves around her eleventh birthday. The eruption took the lives of her family and destroyed an entire city block. She was taken in by the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense where she learned to control her power to some degree. She was subsequently teamed with Hellboy and Abe Sapien. They often investigate situations involving hostile paranormal creatures, coming into contact with other-worldly creatures. Liz uses her “firepower” to defend herself and others, and is more than capable of holding her own while Hellboy uses more physical measures to take out the bad guys.

In this movie, Liz is in a more developed relationship with Hellboy, living with him. She is very aware of her uniqueness, and is constantly bothered by the attention it brings her. She states on several occasions that she hates being stared at, afraid of being labeled a “freak”. This constant change between confidence and self-loathing makes Liz a very vulnerable character.Melina has always been known to enjoy the attention of her “paparazzi” and the fans, so it’s tough to imagine her being emotionally caged and paranoid. She does have a darker side, though, and if she were endowed with the pyrokintetic abilities Liz has, it would be much easier for Melina to ditch her love for the spotlight. Plus, with Liz’s tendency to get all “firey” when upset, can you imagine how often Melina would set her opponents on fire? Eek.. Sounds like a helluva offensive manuever. Both Liz and Melina are emotional, and set themselves apart from others - albeit in their own ways. Melina’s often been described as having a firey temper - why not physically manifest it as well?
