@@get8bit To be fair most people don't even know Blade is a comic book movie as he is a very obscure Marvel character that never had his own series prior to the movies release. Pretty much every character was invented for the film. Furthermore the people who made it weren't making a comic book movie they were making a vampire/action movie. Also the media never said Black Panther was the first black superhero movie, at most they said it was the first black MCU movie, but I understand bashing "duh mee dEE uh" on the interwebz makes you sound cool so who cares if you gotta hypocritically invent fake news? No one will notice and you'll get those cheap internet point that you clearly value so much. Obviously everyone just collectively forgot that Blade wasn't even the first black superhero film of the 90s, along with pretending Hancock never existed, because that's how evil "duh mee dEE uh" is. This can't possibly be a reflection of your own desire engage in faux outrage while also decrying "outrage culture" without a shred of self awareness...right?

I'd argue that the movie is actually more enjoyable to watch in 2016 than 1998. The aspects of the movie that date it to the 90's were exhausting even in '98 due to two decades of action heroes spouting one-liners. While the good parts of Blade are still good, the parts that feel dated add a level of enjoyable schlock to the movie these days. Now it can be enjoyed as both a solidly made superhero film and a hilariously pretentious grimdark 90's action movie full of techno leather swordfights. The parts that are actually weird writing things, like Whistler's cancer? That stuff is still kinda weird and doesn't help at all. But trying to ice skate uphill always makes me laugh when I re-watch it.

Blade and Blade 2 were fucking great! I still put the vampire club opening scene in Blade as one of the best openings in any movie ever. They're pure cheese but they're not trying to be anything else so it works. It's not pretty good/bad it's pretty good/cheese good. There's a self awareness and unapologeticness about cheese good that separates it from bad. Flash Gordon is a perfect example of this.

You guys aren't accurate in describing Blade's influence on films. It influenced movies like the Underworld series, Daylight, Priest, Ultraviolet, Daywatch, Night watch, etc. Not the superhero film genre. Just because a movie features a superhero doesn't mean people perceive it that way. This set off a chain of vampire action films in a way that John Carpenter's Vampires or From Dusk 'Til Dawn never did. In fact it may also have influenced the Matrix. But it really has nothing to do with influencing the superhero films. That was, indeed, X-Men. Sam Raimi's Spider-Man films, the Fantastic Four films, Daredevil, Elektra, Catwoman, Batman Begins, etc. all comes from X-Men, not Blade.

Completely disagree. Blade was a catalyst for the next and most prominent wave of comic book films. People'd argue Burton's Batman, but it really was Blade. Batman & Robin, and Forever before it, quelling superheroes as popular and marketable. Which honestly was the Batman series during 90s. There's some one offs here and there, but still, they weren't that prevalent. Marvel was planning on doing Spider-Man and X-Men in the 90s, but it kept getting reshuffled or put in development hell. Blade showed studios and Marvel that a lesser-known could do well, so it was like studios asked what else they had and Marvel handed over top tier with glee. THEN, X-Men and Spider-Man happened and every studio was buying up comic book properties in a tidal wave of trend. Blade is an important comic book movie. (Ironically, people didn't originally know it was a Marvel character, let alone a comic book character.) I suppose Blade and its sequels influenced more and more vampire stuff, but so did Anne Rice adaptations, with Interview with the Vampire and Queen of the Damned.

I remember when this movie came out, it wasn't marketed as a superhero movie and hardly anyone knew this was based on a comicbook character. Hell, people didn't even recognize the Marvel logo at the beginning of the movie. For a lot of movie goers it may have been their first time seeing the logo and probably didn't bat an eyelash since it was the first movie that wasn't some direct to VHS garbage. He barely had a run of popular comics at the time (if any at all) and still doesn't. Blade was so obscure that the movie pretty much had free rein to do whatever to the character.

litovietbui Right. It actually influenced the comic book Blade it was so good. Originally Eric wasn't a half-vampire. He was just a vampire slayer with immunity from a vampire's bite (he couldn't be turned) bc of his mother being bitten while pregnant having an adverse effect on him. Mutating him. So the comic's literally evolved the character more to match the popular interpretation of him being a daywalking dhampir.

Wesley Snipes/Blade doesn’t get nearly enough credit it deserves for being a pioneer to both Marvel and the superhero movie genre in general. It’s so awful that it doesn’t get the love it deserves . Also, I always felt that the last line was about how some people are always fighting the natural order of things in circumstances where they shouldn’t belong. It’s so cheesy, but I absolutely love that final kill line haha

There is obviously a difference between "making a group of people that's historically been less visible more visible" and "making a group of people that's always been more visible even more visible". It's the same in principle, but you also have to look at how the real world works. Then i guess you can argue whether any of it is useful or not.

But please, continue on your spiteful crusade for "diversity" no matter what impact that has on consistency and accuracy, ignore that changing established characters details like this pisses off fans (no, not because they are racists like you, small minded racist diversity drone) but because fans who have followed a series before it became movie fodder don't see Mary Jane as a fucking chameleon who changes colour every page.

Regarding the non-shaky cam action scene, this one is quite obvious. This is a movie from an era when action stars still had action-chops. People like Evans, Pratt, Damon or Hemsworth don't hold a candle to people like Snipes, Van Damme, Statham or even Schwarzenegger/Stallone (and don't start me on Jackie Chan and the other HK martial artists). That's the difference between self-made people who busted there asses in the gym and pampered Hollywood stars who hired a personal trainer. And the difference shows. One recent movie that did that OK was "John Wick" which was basically long-take-action-porn. While Keanu Reeves was a bit sloppy, far from real pros like the HK guys, he clearly worked seriously for the role and effort is duly noted.

You know the best part about Blade being a black character? He just is. There's no pandering, no virtue signaling, no winking, no nodding, no mention at all of his ethnicity. "Blade is black" is a statement of fact, not a statement of moral value. He isn't better or worse because he's black, he's just black. He'd still be a badass vampire killing martial arts expert if he were any other color, and it still wouldn't matter. _This_, ladies and gentlemen, is how you handle social issues.

This comment is pretty pathetic. The movie chose to ignore social issues entirely, which is fine. But if other movies want to actually address or tackle social issues that is also fine. Holding up Blade as an example of how to "handle" social issues is just stupid. Having a movie with black characters that address social issues facing African Americans is not "virtue signaling" or "pandering". It sounds like you just don't want social issues talked about in movies.

@ShowiestZebra Tons of social issues are talked about in virtually every superhero movie. Crime, justice, just punishment, will of the people, duty to the world, etc are all themes in just about every comic book movie. And franchises like X-Men are centered entirely on social issues. The X-Men themselves are an obvious allegory to the downtrodden, misunderstood and outcasts or the world. But God forbid the social issue be about something like racial inequality - then we've crossed some line.

The character's look, his abilities, his friends and his world were all invented fresh for the movie. A lot of kids back then didn't realize it, though, because they pre-debuted the movie version of Blade on the _Spider-Man_ cartoon show on Fox beforehand.

The movie came out years after the TV appearance, though, because New Line Cinema kept demanding changes and made production a nightmare.

Dudes, I never stopped talking about Blade. Blade was pretty dope and I can see how it hasn't aged well, but it's still cooler than half the stuff coming out. I think "Smack My Bitch Up" was the most dated reference you made in this video, that's something that no one talks about anymore. But Blade paved the way for X-Men, and that paved the way for Spider-Man which was so successful that superhero movies started to be taken seriously. That paved the way for Iron Man and the MCU. Also, it fell into that trap of the third movie being crap. Blade Trinity, X-Men The Last Stand, and Spider-Man 3 all sucked, mostly because I think they were at the end of a 3 picture deal and instead of keeping it simple as you say, they tried to jam in every idea they ever had into that last movie and it got way too bloated.

Christopher Lowery I feel most "shades" between are often lumped into "black and white" "dark and pale" in many racial politics. Of course, what category they are lumped into always depends on what is more advantageous for the racial topic being discussed. For example, north eastern Asians (Japanese, Korean, Chinese) are half the time lumped into the "Pale skinned" category (especially when talking about wealth distribution and economics) as the "suppressors" and half the time as "people of color" when it is advantageous to use them as the victim. In an interracial marriage myself (and living as a minority in Japan) I really hate racial politics, extreme PC is doing more harm than good IMO. This is not to say that race shouldn't be discussed sometimes, but when everything becomes about race, well, then you are only prolonging racism. Even within basic racial categories themselves (white and black) there are various different shades and cultural histories, so where do you draw lines between categories? Just my opinion, don't expect everyone to agree.
