In blade it was only 4 black people, the rest was all white or asian. White people did not care about it, but black panther has about 4 white people and the rest is black.


Its not about social media changes the hearts and minds . Its about white people crying foul when the tables are turned.

Whoa whoa, whoa... let's be honest I wasn't checking for blade on that level when the first one came out...:hubie: I'm being honest...

But when Blade 2 dropped...:whoo::whew:

I give Blade a ton of respect for being the first to usher in Marvel's movies no doubt but let's be honest... Not alot of people put respect on Blade because Spiderman:bryan: took off...

You’re right! Haha I just hate the fact that Marvel gave Blade the Waynes brother treatment got the channel hot then dropped them.

TBH Blade didnt save Marvel. In fact it was a sign of how much they fukked up vs. a sign of success.

Lil' backstory: Marvel went bankrupt towards the end of the 90s and to save the company, they sold off their film rights for various characters. X-Men/Fantastic Four to Fox, Spider Man to Sony, and for some reason, Blade to New Line Cinema.

Marvel probably thought they got away with the finesse jobs of all finesse jobs :banderas: when NLC bought rights to Blade. Blade had always been a D-Lister as far comic popularity. Hell his only success at that point was based on proximity to either Spider Man or Ghost Rider.

Blade hasn't even had his own solo title in marvel for like 20 years, even with the success of the movies (marvel and NLC had little to no working relationship).

What they didnt realize is that backed by a strong script from David Goyer, Wesley Snipes would turn in a really inspired performance of the character (so much so that Comic Blade became nigh-identical to Movie Blade overtime) and the film would go on to be hugely successful.

Marvel was prolly looking at the first blade box office numbers like :damn::damn::damn:


You know what, bruh this is actually a good ass point.

Man tell him to stick to white people's shyt and mma... :camby: we wasn't checking for blade because the movie didn't have that marketing push that BP has had. Plus BP was introduced in civil war and stole the show which led to this major push by black people everywhere.
Blade changed how super hero movies were perceived .

Before blade they were fukking corny and goofy .

Blade wasn’t a prodemently black cast. But the lead was and so was his love interest.


If you break that movie down son that movie opened with Blade killing a bunch yacub’s children dancing and reveling in debauchery. One of yakub female offspring come at Blade ready to kill that black man. What does he do gun buts her in her vagina and blows her head off. He finds out his mother played by Sanaa Lathan is bedwenching literally finds her in that white vampires bed disgusted by the fact he begrudgingly stabs her with the bones of one those cave dwellers. And how does the movie end with him in Europe killing more of the devils childrens.

:lolbron: I am just fukking with you. Black Panther was dope af I am going to see it again tomorrow.

:why: At this revisionist history, Blade was a big fukking deal and people most definitely was checking for it

As for what Rogan said, I have the same thoughts are things really bad now or has social media allowed the voices of the extremists to be heard loudest.

Rogan is a full blown white supremecist, I listen to that shyt for like a month tops, lucky it happened to be the election season and he invited every single racist I can personally think of, so that gave him away..

He constantly talks about faq-chan and alt right trolls online as if they fascinate him, never revealing their real agenda. Invites people to bash other communities basically gives them that platform while he nods his big bald head..

Meanwhile the minute a cac is hurt/shamed he’s pullin out a memorial and defending them.

He’s the definition of a fakkit, he constantly discusses other men’s physiques and alleged sexual abilities.. I couldn’t belive the shyt I was hearin on his show.. and that’s the most listed to show on iTunes? Must be a bunch of cacs :dame:

Extremists are heard the loudest. Same reason a lot people respond to the negative shyt. People don't usually say the positive.
