Someone explain to me people playing dumb about Blade right now

[Bryan Danielson]

fukk that. Instead of giving Wesley Snipes his respect and recognizing that there was a mainstream black comic book hero on film 20 years ago, people act like this Black Panther shyt is new, with some fake African aesthetics. At this rate, nikkas will act like Denzel Washington didn't exist after Kaluuya gets his second nomination. shyt is wack.

Wesley Snipe was a black comic book hero

Black Panther is a black comic book film

shyt on a $200 mil movie with an all black Oscar-winning cast directed by a black man to big up a movie that came out twenty years ago and wasn’t even billed as a comic book nor superhero movie

i dont understand this post. i was 21 when blade 2 came out, sat in vip/balcony had a great time. movie theatre was sold out. blade was like a kung fu flick with wesley snipes battling vampires. how does black panther take away from that?

Because op is white...

What is this nikka talking about. Black panther was just released and black was released in 1998 so why the fukk would anyone bring up blade right now?

 

[Norrin Radd]

it was just some action movie with vampires No Marvel logo in any of the trailers. Comic books weren't poppin back then like they are now. Blade being based on a comic book was like throwaway gee-whiz knowledge among slightly nerdy people or big fukkin geeks who read so many comics they came across Blade by happenstance.

This thread is absolute idiocy

I can never get the comparison between Black Panther and Blade that people keep bringing up.

1. Blade did not have a 90% Black Cast.
2. Blade was not Afrofuturism.
3. Blade was rated R.
4. Blade did not even have the budget of Black Panther.
5. Blade was more horror than superhero.
6. Blade did NOT have the BLACK STAR POWER that Black Panther has.

This movie is making a lot black folks lose their minds

And yet blade is still the better movie

Black?

nikka Blade was big as fukk but it came out at a time when there was no fukking Social Media. It was street hype

Black Panther's hype is elevated by social media

Two different eras
Two different source material

And y'all gonna forget they has to add white actors in the 3rd one for it to sell.

Ryan Reynolds?

Triple HHH?

fukk outta here

It sold well without them

 

[CookisaCac]

I understand what OP is trying to get at.

 

[FaTaL]

I was 10 when Blade came out and loved that movie. This Black Panther hype is straight up disrespectful.

If anything we might get another blade movie within 2 years because of this panther hype.

As the main evil vampire in part two said, enjoy your enemies success

 

[Lhark]

I was 4 when Blade came out (still had the vhs tho), even-though I loved it growing up I didn't realize Blade a superhero until much later.

 

[Emoryal]

People were hyping up Panther way before it came out and now are saying its because of production and quality
Yall get online and become compulsive liars
