@@user-fq7zd8bs4i actually that is not cool but ignorant, almost as ignorant as invading a country that you stole a peninsula from, after destabilisation operations and a proxy war, yet be IGNORANT enough to let them prepare for 8 years to then invade with a plan sooo infantile it could only be concocted by a bald midget amateur from Leningrad on a beer coaster.
@@hectordiaz1575Stan Lee himself said in an interview that Blade saved Marvel from going bankrupt and paved the way for all the later superhero movies.
I think it was the only one that didn't fit the superhero Marvel troupe that's being used today. It was nice that Deadpool was different though. Kinda formulaic, but still different enough. Blade was definitely a genre breaker though with this cast and crew.
MCU PG-13 Blade has no chance and I really hope they scrapped it because after my initial shock of hearing they wanted to make the new installments PG-13 I lost all interest. No need to waste anyone's time with PG-13 Blade.
@@rafaelcharles9802 They also wanna replace Blade with his damn daughter, just like they're trying to do in the comics now. The FeMCU shit is ruining everything man, fucking disney!
I saw this movie in the theater because 1) I loved martial art/action flicks and 2) a vampire hunter?? awesome! There couldn't have been a cooler way to introduce how badass Blade is. Once this scene concluded I was _hooked._ I saw and enjoyed the next two sequels as well, even though the 3rd kinda fell short. This was my favorite movie for years and I could not get enough of this track lol
The 3rd was a mess because Snipes had got too big for his boots and was acting like a colossal prick through out its filming eg, the famous eyes scene etc.
The Batman movies of the 90's (not Keaton's Batman movies) not only almost did the character of Batman in, but the hopes of any future comic book movies from either DC or Marvel. After Batman & Robin in 1997, it was going to take a miracle for there to be a chance comic book movies continued. That miracle was 1998's Blade. Blade made comic books movies cool. He saved & really started the genre.
Stupid part is, if the vampires in this scene had all rushed Blade at once he would have been torn apart. He took advantage of the fact that the vampire race simply weren't used to fighting opponents on even terms - they preferred attacking vulnerable humans who were unaware of their existence and didn't train for combat against other immortals with equal strength.
I'm a Scotsman. Reminds me of South Boston. I walked, drunk, into an old buddy's bar. "Damn! Smells like mule piss and Irish diapers in th..hic..this dump! BWAHAHAHAHA!" The place erupted like the vamps seeing Blade!
We are fighting a war in a perdition that doesn't exist, and we have done so from the beginning. “Cain and Abel were brothers, but the jealousy and the envy of the one destroyed the other.”
I saw blade not knowing he was part of marvel comics. I'm not into comics but loved this film. I thought it was a modern version of the old transylvania vampires Wesley Snipes played Blade cool Af.
if they ever do a blade movie, i really hope they use this song, this is like the mortal kombat soundrack, TIMELESS Fun fact, back then this movie wasnt even rated R. No one gave a shit back then. We were another generation damn.
Wesley's blade is no doubt really cool Honestly I don't know if Marvel will be capable to do anything better than that, probably not. The new actor is great,don't get me wrong but Wesley's blade is blade for sure the Best by far
For the kids out there, raveling about the Marvel's Blade coming up, let me remind you all that this was not and has never been a fucking superhero movie. It is a VAMPIRE movie. And it will always be.
Why would you trade your soul for anything? If you have a soul to trade you will inevitably die, and then you are fucked. Then when you become a vampire you will probably just be a shitty low ranking one who dies like cannon fodder. Also vampires are dicks.
Here in 2022 watching this classic before Marvel and Kevin Fiege ruin this iconic character with Mahershala whatever knockoff like they have ruined everything else in Phase 4 most recently with Dr. Strange a week ago. Wesley Snipes is the eternal OG Blade the Daywalker. This is the TRUE BLADE circa 1998. The storyline begins and ends here with New Line Cinema, not some Fiege Disney cartoon anime.
@@Lunacyk Thanks. I have hopes for the new blade as I find Ali to be quite an interesting actor. Loved him in both Luke Cage and Alita. I think he can deliver a good Blade to be honest. But I'll rest my judgement until I've seen the movie.
