Comics Explained

Tbh the 90s Blade movie is severely underrated. Love those first two movies

[Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

My man Blade's initial strategy to defeat Dracula was to straight up jump the man. And it _worked!_
"Get him up. Let him get up. Let him get up. Let him get up. Fight back, Dracula! Fight back, Dracula! Fight back!"

[s-wo]

I guess this explains why I haven't seen you or any other comic book YouTubers talk about new Blade comics. It's a shame he should get new comics and good stories. Perhaps they shouldn't just limit him to just hunting vampires and have him deal with supernatural threats like Dr. Strange and Ghost Rider.

[CloudSephiroth]

Blade definitely isn’t OMEGA level- but i would definitely settle for having his powers and skillset. Blade was the

[HerpaDurpVg]

The movies introduced me to Blade. Loved him ever since. More please

[OgIKidd]

There's an answer for Blade's Daywalker "chicken of the egg" question. There was a panel interview/discussion with the 90's Spider-Man Animated series writers. When Blade came up, the head writer revealed that it was actually them that ended up making Blade half Vampire first before both the movie and the comic. The movie seems to have followed their interpretation in particular because Whistler, Blade's mentor in the movie, comes from the cartoon and not the comics. I remember watching the conversation about a year ago, so it should still be on YouTube somewhere. I'll link it in an edit if I come across it again.

[cinematicsamurai]

Blade is too cool of a character to limit to vampire hunting. He has the potential to be much more if writers handled him with respect. I've always wanted him to be a herald of Knull.

[thegeminidk]

Something about a vampire character being created by a person with the name Wolfman is very funny to me. Also, Colan sounds close enough to Cullen for it to be even funnier

[trevorghalt]

Blade is the goat and it's crazy to me that he's British also some fun facts: He was the vampire sheriff and he has a daughter

[donnyouttheway]

What made me like blade so much( besides Wesley playin him) as a kid as was how cold and quiet he was. And his sense of humor

[SC-csqz]

Fun fact: in the comics Blade is actually British as opposed to American. He was raised in a London Brothel in Soho by sex workers.

[izzy]

I love Blade and hope he's gets a continued storyline. The biggest fail by marvel thus far is when they tried to make his dad white. It was funny when Blade mocked it.

[joemcdermott]

Blade was the first comic book movie I seen I love the character

[kevinkingslayer]

I only have ONE thing to say as a comic I LOVE

[tylermorrison]

Im actually pretty excited for the Blade movie, and I'm curious to see what this Blade will be like compared to Wesley Snipes portrayal. I'm also really looking forward too the soundtrack, especially if they go the black panther route and make like a proper album.

[grandinquizitor]

Wesley Snipes was perfect for this role, but I think Michael Jai White would've been a better choice over Mahershala Ali. Michael Jai White is real life martial arts practitioner. He is Spawn, Bronze Tiger, Universal Soldier, Blood and Bone, Undisputed 2, Never Back Down, Falcom Rising, Dark Knight. He definitely is the better choice.

Also, Blade stories can be much better if the writers think outside the box. Blade doesn't only have to fight vampires. His power set and skillz make him great as street level hero or he can be elevated to a magical status by implementing him into Dr. Strange story arcs where Blade gets involved with voodoo and witchcraft. He can become friends with Brother Voodo and learn how to use it and add to his powerset.

Blade can have cool adventures with Spider/Wolverine team ups, Xmen team ups, Dr. Strange or Avengers team ups. Or even associate him with Wakanda and create a story line where he ends up dating Storm or marrying Shuri. I have so many ideas. Blade can be used in any storyline, but the writers need to back away from vampires for a while.

[darthshadow]

I wouldn't mind seeing Blade and Albert Wesker fight each other in the Death Battle.

[aimmingo]

1970's Marvel: The black vampire hunter needs a day job/ alter ego. I'VE GOT IT!! JAZZ MUSICIAN!!!

[acemany]

Blade is the godfather of Marvel movies, not iron man like folks think it is.

[KLAdams-vlon]

I wish we got more character explanation videos, which is how I found this channel years ago.
