Wtf were they thinking

Waiting II exhale featuring blade from marvel comics :laff:
Nikkas tried to tell y'all during phase 4 they were getting rid of or emasculating all the male characters and got called incels for pointing it out:mjlol:

Now the way shyt looking the next set of Avengers will be 80% women, with a soft ass black Captain America :mjlol::francis:

No the nikka just wants a Blade movie:mjlol: he wants to wear a coat, carry a sword and shoot shyt it ain't a hard concept:mjlol: Nobody's looking for Black Panther grandiosity in a Blade movie

What Ali didn't see coming was the MCU shift to destroying the males, which is where the daughter shyt comes in. Blade has become a glorified babysitter in the comics as well:snoop:

Three women, presumably a black/white/Asian to hit all the desired demo metrics, hitting Blade with classic Marvel banter like "if you want a job done right, get women to do it." Or a dinner scene where Blade is too shy/socially weird to tell the waitress that she brought him the wrong steak so one of the chicks says "he said he wanted a rare steak." You know, like the Mary Jane/Peter Parker internet meme from a few years ago that the kids enjoy. We'll def get the algorithms going by referencing it.
:mjgrin:

This sounds like an untalented Hollywood person's attempt to make a Blade version of Mad Mad Fury Road. Which is a classic movie but I don't see how you can do that with Blade. Much less with an Oscar winning actor playing Blade.

TYRONE GA!
It's time to be honest becuz enough is enough

The MCU has just as many wack movies as it has good movies, if not more

But saying this for a while. Way more mid and wack than people wanna admit.

The problem is the good ones were REALLY good to GREAT.

Peaked an Infinity War.

shyt like this does not make me feel comfortable when they finally introduce the X-Men. Not one bit.

Again, it's not a coincidence that the best comic movies have been more mature in tone with high stakes. Not goofy or agenda driven. Know your damn audience and if it's good, the rest will take care of itself.

Tbh this twitter guy has it backwards.

Imagine a breh nerd in '97 telling Wesley: "Wait... you want Blade to wear all black trench coat, bullet proof vest, duel wield uzis that shoot silver bullets:mjtf:, carry a shot gun, c4 grenades, a shuriken, and have a sword? And have him be from New York and not Great Britain? :mjtf:"

"Sorry Wesley, you want a bad ass pop culture phenomenon and Blade simply isn't that character :manny:"

Innanet woulda been innanettin if twitter had been around when Wesley was on this other shyt^
:pachaha:


Of all the reasons they should go with someone else (who is younger) Ali actually wanting to uplift the character to something "iconic" is actually the highest selling point for keeping him on the project.
