I don't know why but it seems like they are trying to sabotage Blade

After all Blade has done for Marvel they are treating the character like this smh

not sure if it's on purpose but it's the one character that fans demanded they do a movie on where u could tell the execs didn't really wanna do it. it was a fan driven campaign..

They probably don't wanna give credit to 'Blade' for starting the Marvel movie craze:mjpls:

A vampire movie with no blood is going to be complicated. They already showing Deadpool on D+ so don't half ass this one. Cause that will be the straw. There is no excuse now with the no-market overseas for a Black action hero.
No Market for your action figures/merchandize perhaps.

It's a half human/half vampire character who fights vampires. That should be impossible to screw up unless it's deliberate :mjpls:

And with weak script it seems like they don't want a strong Black male character who does his own thing and they're probably trying to find a way to write jokes into it and emasculate him and tie him to some cacs to be buddies with.

But they had a winning formula over 20 years ago. So they have a blueprint to follow.

Well Blade is a black leading character so of course there’s a reluctance from Marvel. It seemed like they never really wanted to do BP either for the longest time.

Blade would be a hit though. They need to put the racist shyt aside

Marvel has a handful of black heroes Blade and Black Panther being the two most popular and both are either not in the mcu anymore or there's issues on set

what's goin on here?

It seems clear what's going on :mjpls:

Falcon is going to be a glorified cac sidekick in his own movie

Rhodey is probably going to be treated like just another character with no real status

Black Panther will be Shuri and then maybe it'll be handed over to M'Baku who may not have any real power.

They're deliberately not taking the Blade movie seriously.

And Kang will likely be a joke character that's easily defeated.

So Black male prominence is definitely something they don't want. And a "no Blood" Blade movie is embarrassing. The best thing to do is to leave it alone and let a non-marvel studio handle it if they're going in that direction. Because it's a vampire movie. You can't have a no Blood vampire movie.
