YMS Watches: The Blade Trilogy 

UNCENSORED VERSION: www.patreon.com/posts/71287204?pr=true and ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-slB_rgaI-Bw.html Hey, everyone! So basically the reaction footage for this video comes from my YMS Watch-Alongs channel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-osoXyi09asA.html This is a channel I've created to livestream my reaction to certain films that I feel would be good to watch socially. So far, everything I've reacted to on that channel is something that I was going to watch anyway so I could talk about them in a review or podcast. I had wanted edited versions of those Watch-Along videos for a while now, but didn't know the exact approach I wanted to go with. Eventually, an editor sent me this video and I loved it! It's a very different style and approach than I was initially thinking, but I think it's perfect for this format. I obviously don't intend on watching a lot of depressing arthouse dramas like this (I'll stick to my home theater setup for those), but I look forward to continuing this format for horror/action/popcorn flicks, etc. These aren't replacing YMS Commentaries or Adum & Pals videos. Those will still be just as much of a regular thing on this channel. I spend a lot more time watching movies than Scoot & Gaël, so this allows me to cover more ground and create more content out of things I'm already doing anyway. I'll be back to working on YMS Reviews in a few weeks once I'm back from Toronto Film Festival, but videos like these are a great way to ensure that more content can come out more frequently while the larger, more time-consuming projects are worked on. I've still got tendonitis in my right arm, so I'm happy to be able to keep creating content in ways that doesn't make my injuries worse. I've recorded my review for Prey and I'm about 75% done recording my Fantasia Festival voiceover, so stay tuned for those to be published while I'm out at Toronto Film Festival. There's also another YMS Commentary / Adum & Pals that's been recorded, so that should also be good to publish while I'm gone. Anyway, thank you so much for your support and I hope you enjoy the new content style! ❤ Oh, yeah! If you want to catch one of these live, make sure to hit the bell for notifications on my Watch-Alongs channel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-osoXyi09asA.html I also stream these on Twitch: www.Twitch.tv/AdumPlaze

I love how the censoring the gore just makes it look real

No MCU movie has ever topped the Blood Rave

Honestly, my brain accepts bad 90s practical effects as being more “real” than any CGI.

I always thought blood coming from an artery like a fountain in movies was stupid looking and fake until I actually witnessed it in real life when I was surgery intern last year

People tend to forget that Blade started the trend of comic book movies making bank. Apparently after seeing how well it did in the box office Fox decided to pick up X-Men and run with it.

Adum having a full acid trip get destroyed by his Mom's unironic appreciation of Ryan Reynolds Vehicle is currently in the running for the funniest thing I've heard this week

The fights in the first Blade haven't been surpassed in its simultaneous coolness and silliness by anything in the MCU

The “everybody in Uganda knows Kung fu” clip almost made me choke from laughing at work. Who Killed Captain Alex YMS when

One thing that Snipes did for the third movie was refusing or forgetting to open his eyes for one scene leading to the VFX team having to use CGI to make the scene work

Someone needs to tell adum about the unused alternate ending to Blade where Morbius appears

the adum and pals videos are some of my favourite on youtube, so it’s definitely nice to see more in that style

This is a great new format for the channel too! Not only because it tightens the experience a little but also because it covers for the occasional things I can't get my hands on to go for the complete watch-along. Not to mention how on point the editing here is! Great video.

The mcu remake of blade will never be on the same level as the og. Even if the og is a bit cheesy I’m not looking forward to a comedic non violent mcu version.

Last time I saw the whole Blade trilogy, I was in jail and it was the only thing the TV was turned to. You'd probably have to put me in jail now just to force me to watch it again.

I do genuinely like the first two movies despite their faults, but I'll admit, _Blade: Trinity_ is a massive guilty pleasure for me. Like it's bad... but I think it's fun-bad, and I always end up rewatching it whenever I watch the first two. It's probably because I was a dumb 16 year old when I first saw it, so I do have some nostalgia for it. But even still, I get some chuckles out of it now, and there's a few moments sprinkled in that I actually like. Also, I just remembered that I actually created the Wikipedia section that Adam is reading about Trinity's production troubles on an old Wiki account I had years and years ago, hahahaha. (Although it's been updated a few times since by other people, some of it is the original text.) Glad I was able to inadvertently make it easier for Adam to find information about that movie's clusterf**k of a production. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

“If they drink junkie blood, do they get high and AIDS?” I laughed out loud.

"Fuckin' freaks! We need a new race!" - Adum 2022

Hell yeah this is a really nice format for the channel! Always a happy day when Adam uploads

Fun fact about "The Name of the Game" song: for some reason it was in the Intro cinematic of the first Splinter Cell game. Yes, the game about stealth and spy business.

Also fun fact, in the original ending of Blade there was legit a Morbius tease! Steve Norrington went on top of a building in a long coat & hood to pose for a shot. Then in the original recording Blade & N'Bush spot him in the distance. Norrington was made to change the ending though as producers felt Morbius was too much of a deep cut comic character, so it was changed.

really good job to the editor of this, it's excellent

Imagine getting bitten by a vampire and instead of getting kickass vampire powers, you just get aids. At that point, it's like a mosquito but with aids instead of malaria.

The more I hear Del Toro talk about his work and see his stuff, the more I understand why this guy would really love to make a video game but doesn't want to just dive in solo on it. I get the feeling he'd want to make something fun like DMC with the intrigue and story of MGS while knowing that is a tall order in of itself, which is why he's cautious about going about it.

Ryan Reynolds is basically a more popular James Van Der Beek. There's nothing you can say to convince me those aren't the same person using different names for more paychecks.

This editing is borderline experimental

I fucking KNEW you'd enjoy the third one more than the other ones!

the editing was definitely a treat here

Loved the Russian or Dragging followed by the rim shot, so fitting

That rating system thing, “1-3 and 7-10 are good. 4-6 is bad”, is a really good point. Funny ass vid. Lmao

the fact that rza (who's had his hand in some of the greatest music ever put out) co-composed the fuckin blade trinity soundtrack is mindblowing to me

i love how this is like a lets play for movies

It’s honestly so funny how Ramin goes from composing this to Game of Thrones

New Blade won't be able to hold a candle to these.

First film is so amazingly late 90s, gotta love that quick and stupid black leather trench coat era

Glad you're finally covering the greatest trilogy of all time

@21:55 Ok, in what "We Do In The Shadows" it is accepted that all the vampires from different movies are all part of the same universe. There is a Great Counsel, a members are all references to their movie. Tilda Sweden is the head because of "Only Lovers Left Alive". Another member is Wesley, a 1/2 vampire, vampire hunter and it's Wesley snipes. With that established, circling back to the show "We Do In The Shadows" one of the characters (Nandor) looks at the camera and says "We drank the blood of people on drugs and now I am a wizard." So as a gag, yes, Vampires can get high off of people on drugs. At least according to the show, which blade IS a part of.

I. Love. This. Video. I must have the end credits song to listen to ad nauseam. This is amazing. More of this. More more more of this. So fantastic. This is peak YMS content. Adum and editors

Liking the prospects of this new edited watchalong format! Some of the echo effects on Adum are a little annoying, but generally a nice enhanced summary cut (particularly with the cut ins from bts footage)

I’d absolutely watch more of this style of stuff. I’ve been wanting to listen to more watch alongs but I don’t have the time. Thanks Adum!

Love the new format! The audio editing in particular was great.

Just want to say i love that you’re starting this kind of content it’s extra work but the editing is still top class and works really well with the watch along style of content. Funny as fuck.

The " you met blade..." with the bladee soundclip is perfect hahaha. Love this format plz do the bad boys movies amd others if possible!

15:18 reminded me of this annoying desk prop/toy that was in the shape of a box that was around when i was a kid. It had a button on it and when you'd press it, it would shake and go "get me, GET ME OUTTA HERE!"

this was great! hope to see more of these in the future

Whoever edited this did a great job

love this format, hope you decide to keep going with it!

The post credit scene is Wesley Snipes driving to prison.

So glad you did these, they are some of my favorites!

I really like this format. And it's honestly nice to have just Adum doing an "Adum and Pals" kind of thing.

I love how Adam questioned the completely unexplained disappearance of Dr Jensen. While she wasn't everybody's favourite character, she was one of mine, but even disregarding that I thought that was unforgivably lazy writing. Until watching this, I had never actually taken note of the fact all three movies were written by the same person, and now that issue I had with the writing is even worse :P

I really appreciate this new format, I hope It sticks around.

I love the new video style. Also the Adum pals are my favorite by far. I appreciate the effort

The key to enjoying Wesley Snipes is to picture him more as a Dave Chapelle character instead of a real person.

So I was born in 91 so I saw pieces of blade 1 and two growing up but loved 3. Not cause it was cool but because it was funny and Parker posey is just great in this. Her performances in 3, scream 3 and josie and pussycats really do their part to make movies watchable if not carry parts of a film entirely imo. I never understood how 3 is the bad one either but I wouldn’t say I’m a blade fan, so maybe that’s why lol. Glad I’m not the only who enjoys this movie. For me it’s good bad I love it.

I was waiting for the bladee reference. Thank you

My favorite part of the first movie is how the Dr.Chick’s personality absolutely depends on moving the story forward. She’s all over the place, and it’s a hilarious ride.

The 3rd one is definitely my favorite. Doesn't take it's self to seriously but somehow it's not self aware enough. Perfection

Covered the trilogy in a surprisingly efficient way. For me it's 2,1,3 in preference, but depends on what you're after.

love this format! great editing

It makes sense that someone who doesn't like the Blade movies would greatly prefer Trinity, the least Blade-like one.

I really like this type of content, such a good mix between your regular videos and the live stream clips....I know that's kind of stating the obvious but just wanted to voice my enjoyment.

Hope to see more of this. This was awesome.

Some of the editing in this is awesome. "I'd do 3 years in jail for 10 million dollars" really had me laughing.

I feel like this series could open the door to more collaborations. Like you could invite a youtube or someone to one of the watch-alongs and have a YMS Watches ft. guy. Idk I'm just really happy these are getting edited for the main channel. Looking forward to see some more

Love it, great new style of video. Can't wait for more.

I love this new format my boi pls keep doing these

I had a feeling that the moment I saw this thumbnail that I knew the 3rd one would be Adum’s favorite lol.

the behind-the-scenes inserts take this to another level, good stuff 👍

I'm disappointed he never noticed that edited opened eyes scene

I love this new style of content, great job!

16:30 You're right about the artery. Arterial blood is a brighter red, also has higher pressure (venal blood cannot spurt out like in the movies, it leaks).

your content is great always happy to see new stuff

Watching Adam roast these movies is pure gold, and this is coming from somebody who loves the Blade movies. 😂

I love the way you all edited this

Thanks dude love the format

I like this format a lot. Also, Blade: Trinity is the only one that I remember enjoying. Really cheese and less boring.

Really digging the new content! And tbh blade looks good in black and white. Especially the club scene, very comic

I agree with ryan reynolds lack of range. He doesn't play characters he just plays himself 😆

I like that at the beginning of the first movie, the subtitle said "NOW" and then at the end it said "MOSCOW" like Moscow is a different era.

describing seeing real blood while blade escalates in the background had me dying, great editing

Blade Trinity holds a special place in my heart for no special reason. I just saw it when I was young and it had Triple H yelling "motherfucker" in it and that was all it took. 10/10, really set my expectations for Kris Kristofferson appearing in media I enjoy too.

That was some great editing.

great stuff man, absolutely love your vids

Damn, so this is where those Blade reaction vids went

"Are you Russian... or dragging?" Was an s tier joke

The worst part is, so obsessed with the murder of a child, the fact Frost gets a pass through sunlight by wearing some banana boat slipped through your fingers. It is absolutely the worst fucking plot I've ever hear for a vampire. I'll acceptable the twinkling in sunlight before, "Oh yea, I can go drink blood during the day just need some spf 20 like any good ginger needs on a normal day."

"Some actors just have names, like... Wesley Snipes." I can think of at least one, yeah.

I fell asleep listening to one of your videos the other night and had a dream that we were friends and had some party at your house...i dunno man it was weird, it ended with me having some 4 wheeler i dont own in real life break down in walmart lol

BladeXMorbius is going to be the biggest event in the whole universe

I still love how "What we do in the shadows" brings him back in the council of vampires, I really appreciate him playing along with the joke 2 decades later

Please, more content like this! Excellent work!

Watching your intro and all I can think (through no fault of your own) is how internet videos went from being free and largely uncensored to more heavily censored and edited than television broadcasts. What the fuck happened?

7:08 who let a drainer edit this video lmao

when Blade jumps out of that pool of blood for the final battle, he comes out with his vest on though he wasn't wearing it when he got in , I expected Adam to notice that, he didn't.

I really enjoy this form of content, along with the clipping in of references eg. wesley and guillermo talking I was about to pause to search it then you saved my attention deficit from clicking off the page

the b&w actually looks so good... like mad max chrome or lighthouse!

Loved watching this on twitch!

the drinks certainly kicked in around Blade 3 lol

That rave at the start of the first movie is forever etched into my brain. The song lives there, rent-free.
