Sounds fine.
>>150156157>>Kevin Feige scrapped the script for too much drama and not enough action.>>150156157And then he said something like they couldn't make a Blade movie because they just couldn't make a movie about just a guy killing vampires. What he meant it was that it wasn't political enough.>>150156761Sounds too good to be truth. I'm sure this was the somehow original idea until they kept adding more and more scenes and relevance to the daughter.
>>150156896>What he meant it was that it wasn't political enough.No, that's what you want him to have meant.
>>150157618No, that's what he meant because he keeps making the same mistakes about the characters.
>>150156896Yeah it was 100% just gonna be another bait and switch where its about the female sidekick and not the male MC Feige is a one trick pony
>>150156157You ever think it's weird they want a daughter soo bad they just skipped passed a mom. Like shit even Bambi had the mom foor the beginning.
>>150157960Vampires kill her, it's what kicks off the plot.
