(Nitro express revolvers do exist, but look just as stupid as you might think)

** The reboot generally demonstrates more closeness to the source material than Del Toro's films.

There's also the B.P.R.D.'s expansion from mostly consisting of generic men in black {{Red Shirt}}s to including weird and colorful characters like the aforementioned Daimio.
