I had stopped watching the first one as much because I loved the second so much. But bro,I watched it today and I really forgot how good that shyt was
Frost was a great villian,and the thing about Blade is they also had great sub villians. The funny guy who kept getting his hand cut off was good in the first,then you had the guy who played Hellboy in the second as the sub villian. Not to mention that great twist in the movie where Blade gets "betrayed". But in the first one,Karen may be the most useful non powered female in a comic movie ever
. Created a new sereum,freed Blade and then let him feed,created the coagulant that eventually took down Frost. She really was a great strong black female character who wasn't forced,wasn't even forced to be a love interest as fine as she was
.
Loved the relationship between Whistler and Blade too,not sure why they felt like they had to add to it with Blade Trinity. Well yes we do,obviously they thought they could add more money at the box office if they added some white favorites. I can almost bet that Ryan Reynolds was running around the set adding his own goofy ass ideas to the script
. He's the same guy who got his boy kicked off Deadpool 2,so he probably was trying to force Blade to the background for more screentime.
I don't think any Blade fan blames Wesley for the shyttiness of the 3rd movie. Obviously they didn't feel they were making as much money as they could off of the Franchise.
Hope RZA is right and Blade does appear in Dr Strange. Problem is it will probably be some new actor,it will be big shoes to fill. Other than Bruce Lee I've never seen a martial artist fight with the swagger of Wesley in Blade,not to mention the all around acting chops he is one of the best ever.
