>Set in 1920s New Orleans.>Main plot was Blade protecting his estranged daughter Zora from vampire lord Aaron Thorne, who wants to use Zora’s blood to turn himself and his followers into Daywalkers.>Milan Ray was cast as Zora.>Aaron Pierre was cast as Aaron Thorne.>Delroy Lindo was cast as a “Marcus Garvey-like” black community leader and Blade’s mentor.>Joshua Mikel was cast as one of Aaron Thorne’s vampire followers.>Vampire hunters Quincy Harker, Rachel Van Helsing and Taj Nital were set to appear but hadn’t been cast yet.>Quincy is a descendant of Jonathan Harker who finances vampire hunters including Rachel, a descendant of Abraham Van Helsing.

>>152117759>strong cultural message.Meaning more woke crap. Thank goodness it was cancelled, it would have been a shitshow.
So why the 1920s?
>>152118614To rip off Sinners
it's insane how bad the post Endgame MCU has been fucking up the easy layups >>152118614I think to avoid a "where was he/vampires during other movies" thing and also period pieces are cool, kind of sets it apart, plays with the characters immortality
>>152117759he does karate and kills vampires its not hard. Amazing how stupid Marvel is, Astonoshing the level of slop people are will to consume.
>>152118582This. Can't make movies just for the movie nowadays
>>152117759Ironically, Blade has more integrity than Black Panther by NOT being in the MCU.
>>152118582>>152118749We need you in the Scott Asams thread fighting the hoarde.
>>152118999*adams.
>>152117759Oh my god. "The girl that's the key to everything" story line. And no, Feige didn't scrap anything. Ali, scrapped it because it was going to be a vehicle for Zora and kill off/humiliate/lessen Blade as a character. We all know how Marvel was and still is.
>>152118582Fpbp
is blade that hard a character to get right
>>152119454His entire thing is being a bad ass traditional masculine hero.Disney hates those A LOT. So they replace them with betas, homos and random obvious lesbians. I mean look at chadwick. Guy was a cuckd bitch who had no agency and was barely in his own movie. And later replaced with his 85lbs soaking wet sister that they did everythign possible to make unatractive and masculanize.
>>152118582Oh, yeah, absolutely, because Black Panther and Sinners were fucking *bombs*, clearly there is no market that eats this shit up, nosiree bob.
>>152118582Anon, feige was FORCED to make a new deadpool movie and he's been solely responsible for marvel post endgame. What did he create that wasn't "woke".
>>152119454>>152119502His movies were never good either.The only good thing about it was that Blade was badass and that was partly because the main actor was charismatic.I don't know if there's a good replacement for the actor nowadays
>>152119171>Ali, scrapped it because it was going to be a vehicle for Zora and kill off/humiliate/lessen Blade as a character.Keep telling yourself that.
>>152119524He never said anything about whether they were going to be a success or not, he only talked about the quality of the film.
>>152119540Only Blade 3 was bad
>>152119584Blade 3 is bad but it's also incredible in the way that it's bad, it's a great bad movie.
>>152118999Fuck off back to /pol/ we don't want to get caught up in your dumb culture war bullshit.
>>152117759Wesley Snipes makes that guy look like Steve Urkel.
>>152119614This is literally apart of it retard. They want to make Blade gay.
>>152119614Just say you eat da poopoo
>>152119614WE LIKE COMICS TOO. YOU GO BACK TO BLUESKY!
>>152119644You motherfuckers never talk about comics you just talk about molesting cartoon girls and why new movies are woke or whatever, you're functionally retarded.
>>152117759>Zora.Zora lmao
>>152119540Blade 1 and 2 were fantastic. Blade 3 was what shit the bed. Even then it's better then basically everything released by marvel in the last decade. >>152119550That's fucking litterally what happened. That's exactly what he said. >>152119574Name a single quality movie released while marvel was under his total control. Just one.
>>152117759what the fuck is that hairstyle>1920sthe fuck? Blade was born in the 60s wasn't he? Or is this some Ed Moltano: Time Traveling Vampire Plumber shit
>>152119872>>152119584I disagree
>>152119507black panther didnt have any woke shit in ithell, it showed a real important message for the modern day: african-AMERICANS have a shitty, entitled, hostile culture, while african-africans are chill and cool. But also, if you have more advancement in your nation, it behooves you to share it with the lesser nations. Kipling would have been proud.
>>152117759>>Main plot was Blade protecting his estranged daughter ZoraStop, right there. That's the moment when this movie was already doomed from start.
>>152119872>Name a single quality movie released ...Why do you want to turn this into an argument? I was just clarifying what the other anon said.
>>152118642>I think to avoid a "where was he/vampires during other movies"They could have joked that they didn't see any vampire because he was doing his job.
>>152119906It's not woke. It's racist as fuck and shows a clear hatred of black men and masculinity in general.
>>152117759The MCU needs to stop making adaptions of anything ever.
>>152119944Joke? Anon they could have done vampires instead of that faggot Secret Invasion debacle and showed a vampire cult/underworld with small vampire ownership neck tattoos on random people in Disney Plus shows. Even had the vampire and vampire pawns be dead or dusted. Go full spiderman TAS with it and have him show up help someone losing against vampires and just leave. With them going WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT with Dr.Strange showing up to talk to him about the reawakening of the Vampire god or Dracula.
>>152119964that's ironic
>>152120159IT'S LIKE RAIAAAAIIIN ON YOUR WEDDING DAY!
Only ever be one Blade
>>152119906>while african-africans are chill and cool.Be assured, there is more terrible in africa-africa than not. Chill and cool lol, better not be an albino for example
>>152118697>he does karate and kills vampires its not hardIt is. Otherwise, the LA show and anime would've been renewed.
>>152119171>"The girl that's the key to everything" story line.Why always this? It's so boring
>>152119906>black panther didnt have any woke shitKillmonger
>>152121412"Sticky fingaz" is barely man height can't act and can't fight worth a fuck. The entire show devolved into a better vampire show then blade show. And everyone knew it. The anime was a one and done thing like all fo the marvel anime. >>152121473Mary sue bullshit ala hunger games and twilight...without the actual understanding of the demo they are going after or care for the IP itself.That and creepy as fuck middle aged women and queers want to groom little girls.There's ALWAYS heavy lesbian representation and at least one older middle aged woman that said female lead/propoganda puppet has a creepy unstated gay crush on or a lesbiani relationship that's better then the male options. Go back and look. Seriously. it's every single piece of media in the MCU and nearly every single piece of Disney media released in the last few years.
>>152117759>reportedly scrapped the script for having too much drama and not enough actionThe first draft supposedly had only two action scenes in the entire script.
>>152119584Having rewatched Blade 1 & 2 they don't really hold up that well and are carried entirely by Snipes and his badass costume, everything else is kinda eh.
>>152117759At this point, and I mean as of today, Blade is going to suck no matter what. How long ago was this Reboot planned, before Eternals right? So something like 5 or more years ago. Mahershala Ali was in his late 40's then, he's hot to be in his 50's now. He's not going to be Blade, he's going to be "the face" of Blade digitally imposed on some stunt mans body. And somehow it's going to be worse than this a movie made over 15 years ago.
>>152121969It'll look good. I mean people still believe that fake bus stabbing.
>>152121969I mean, it does sound boring.
>>152117759Somehow, the Deadpool & Wolverine joke just keeps getting funnier.
