    This movie is the movie that literally SAVED the Marvel film studio(s) from going bankrupt. Its success led to the creation of Marvel's X-Men trilogy, and then the Tobey McGuire Spider-Man trilogy, and after that (and various other Marvel films), came the MCU. I think it is very safe to say that without the success of Blade, the MCU would never have existed.

      Exactly 💯💯💯😎⚔️🗡️but Hollyweird never gave him credit for bringing Marvel films to life. Or superhero films in general. To them, it's just another movie he made. All the credit went to Robert Downey Jr, probably due to Wesley Snipes becoming known for not paying taxes. It all started with a not so popular character who's been around since '73, a vampire slayer, for Marvel to give these other actors a job.🤷Snipes in a way practically put money in their pockets🤣🤦

They could've just done a movie with Hannibal and Whistler's daughter along with other supernatural characters and just done movie on them. Only with Blade in a cameo(or something).

    This series of movies started the MCU. Would it has mutated into is what Disney has done to it which was damaged the MCU.
    they took too long to get him back in the movie and there was a issue with his accountant screwing up his taxes where he ended up in jail for what his accountant did for his taxes. Wesley Snipes being in jail was not his fault in my opinion. He got screwed over
    I would much rather see this style of MCU going forward. This is a serious good superhero movie. It also showed that an R-rated superhero movie done well done as well …

    In the Marvel Comics Universe Blade trained under several skilled martial arts masters.
    Some of the most notable include:
    * Master Shen Kuei, (also known as Cat); a highly skilled martial artist and assassin from China. He is an expert in various forms of martial arts, including kung fu and wushu.
    * Master Chikara, also known as the White Tiger; a Japanese samurai, and a member of the mystical group known as the Five Weapons Society. He possesses enhanced physical abilities and is a master of various martial arts styles, including kenjutsu (swordsmanship) and karate.
    * Stick, the blind sensei associated with Daredevil. Stick is a master of multiple martial arts disciplines, including ninjutsu and kendo.

    Wesley Snipes is an extremely accomplished martial artist, so all those moves were really him. He even had to slow down because the camera couldn't keep up with his speed.

    There was a time that Snipes wanted the Black Panther role and I think this may have been somewhere around the time when the MCU was just taking off. Snipes has a laundry list of martial arts skills. 5th degree belt in Shotokan Karate, 2nd degree belt in Hapkido and training in Kick Boxing, Kung Fu, Brazilian Ju Jitsu and Capoeira. Even with Snipes being 62 I wouldn't want to pick a fight with him in a Dark Alley or anywhere else for that matter.

    Blade’s real name is Eric Brooks. His mom Vanessa Brooks was bitten by Deacon Frost. So Frost bite made him into vampire. The bite from a vampire will enter your body and begin to spread throughout your entire bloodstream then you’ll turned into a vampire. Blade is a hybrid vampire half-human and half-immortal. Blade has one weakness and that’s thirst drinking blood. Vampires need to drink blood an order to survive.
    Vampire abilities: immortality never aged, superhuman strengths, superhuman senses, superhuman speed, ability to regenerate.

    In case you`re confused about the vampire ages, it`s vague but Whistler said vampires do age but slower than us due to their rapid cellular regeneration, but how slow they age seems to depend on whether the vampire in question is a Pureblood ,Turnedblood, Reaper or Daywalker. Purebloods seem to stop aging once they reach a certain point in their bloodsucking development(Again, it`s vague), Turnedbloods like Frost and his gang, Marcus Van Sciver as well as Chase ,Krista Starr and Det. Brian Boone, from "Blade The Series" seem to stop aging at the age they were turned and their regeneration is somewhat limited to healing wounds after they were turned rather than before, Reapers, Pearl and Damaskinos due to having been either genetically enhanced or having been vampires so long they don`t look human anymore but like albino marshmellows or Nosferatus their inhuman features make it hard to tell if they are or aren`t aging. With Daywalkers, whether they age or not depends if you`re talking about Pureblood Daywalkers like Drake/Dracula/Dagon in "Blade Trinity" in which case his status as the first vampire means he doesn`t age at all nor do those turned by him who were the original Pureblood Vampires or hybrids like Blade and the Bad Bloods gang from "Blade The Series" who age at a somewhat retarded rate to humans but less so than Turned and Purebloods. Also, most Turnedbloods started out as familiars to Purebloods.

    Blade definitely fits the mcu. U have to remember how much they’ve started setting up. The witches and wizards with wanda, dr strange, and Agatha harkness has a show coming. As well as the different monsters and monster hunters we’ve come across in werewolf by night with the bloodstone family, man thing, as well as moon knight who is also a monster hunter in the comics as well who frequently pairs with blade. Not to mention in Loki season one, mobius does mention that the tva has captured vampires before, and that they have a nightmare department. Also morbius is a Spider-Man villian who just had a movie (all be it a bad one) not to long ago, and he is a vampire. There’s ur Spider-Man connection. Lol. Blade, punisher, and ghost rider are really the only heroes that remain of the late night more rated r horror type heroes dubbed the midnight sons that haven’t been introduced. And that’s the direction the mvu seems to be pushing with these supernatural characters. Y’all have to remember how vast marvel comics is. It’s goes into every category and genre u can imagine. And the supernatural is one of them.

    This movie is what a Marvel movie should be. There is talk of a reboot, but if they plan on making it PG-13, it won’t compare to this one. When I was reading comics in the early 90s, Blade was part of a group known as The Nightstalkers along with Hannibal King and Drake. They were part of the Midnight Sons which included Ghostrider, Johnny Blaze, Morbius, and others. Great reaction as always ladies. Another great vampire movie and probably the last real vampire movie before the Twilight take over is “28 Days of Night”. It’s about a group of vampires that descend on a town in Alaska that goes under a sunset that lasts a month.

    Blade's serum counters the thirst his vampire DNA causes. The one critique I have about this film is the vampire god transformation, and subsequent fight are a bit hokey; ghostly, skeletal bats? I would opt for a more Lovecraftian style, formless, shapeless, shadow-like, less solid, more able to change form, to bond into a single entity, fearsome and dreadful. A shape which would be a bane to both vampires and humans.

    Years ago there was a "Comics Code" that Marvel followed that prevented them from doing horror comics.
    Eventually they decided to drop that code and do a variety of mild horror stories. Blade was one of those horror stories. Other mild Marvel horror comics from that time included Ghost Rider, Werewolf by Night, Morbius the Living Vampire and Hannibal King.

      It wasn`t really that clean cut. It was more like Stan "The Man" Lee(R.I.P.) did anti-drug stories in "Amazing Spider-Man"(And under the initial Comics Code, they refused to publish because even though Stan insisted he wasn`t promoting drugs but making a cautionary tale about underage drug abuse at the time the Comics Code people said they didn`t care, they still weren`t allowed to approve the book by the government of that time who were very big on Christian values, anticommunism, respecting authority and conservative family values, avoiding anything that seemed to promote crime or the occult etc. )that forced the Code to liberalize and eventually the Code was slowly phased out altogether and replaced with a rating system and advisory warnings for more mature Comic Books similar to the ESRB for video games, FCC for TV shows or MPAA for films.

    Blade is the kind of comic book character that everyone knows about but never had his own series until 2023. He started as a supporting character in Tomb of Dracula #10, had a few solo stories in the black and white magazine books. He took off in the 90's as a part of team books like Midnight Sons and Nightstalkers. This movie really brought him to the forefront. You asked about his serum, he needs a serum to suppress his vampiric hunger.

    This is when I started going to the movie theaters more when Blade came out' I was like finally a real marvel movie for me to go see and I was not disappointed. Then from there I saw X-Men, Spider - Man and of course Blade 2' the rest they say is history!
    You know who else was part of marvel for a short time' it was Godzilla from 1977 to 1979' I mention him now because he has a new movie coming out on Dec 1st called Godzilla Minus One and I hope you get around to watching the original Godzilla (1954) film before the new one comes out!
    He also has his own universe which even predates the MCU called in some circles as the Toho Showa Universe or TSU for short' it has a lot of both sequels and tie in films even if some of them are still mainly stand alone films with small connections to the larger TSU.
    He has a lot just in his first series alone' he's up to his 4 series with the Monsterverse and the new one coming out in December could be the start of a 5th series' but will have to wait to see how it pans out?

    I think there is a possibility Natalie could give Blade II a 5/5 !👍
    Are we going to have anything horror related in spooky October, Michelle?

    The Sequel is really good too. The third Blade movie was to goofy felt more like later marvel movies and less gory than the first 2 movies. Punisher (2004) was really good too those marvel movies were made for older audience.

    One thing that's bothered me for over 20 year's is they are clearly on the west coast but the sun is rising over the ocean.
    And one of the all-time movies "motherf**** always trying to ice skate uphill."

    13:00 "Vamps like to have strange parties" ... TECHNO is one of the worst things developed in the 90s ... but it shares one thing with vampire abilities: it is "HYPNOTIC" ... we had the "Love Parade" in Berlin every year ... with a million people dancing to stupid music and being loud and obnoxious in public transport ... and dressing really ugly/inappropriately.

    I have a question for both of yall (which ill admit sounds weird but im trying to start a horror franchise from literally the ground up....
    And have no idea how to do things)
    So i cant draw anymore (broken 1 hand 2x the other 3x which required surgery) i dont know where yall live so i dont know if a make up effects artists is something close to yall.
    (Withouth giving much about my book away) i was wondering how much it would cost the red head to turn into a gilman like creature (make up process all that) than photo shoot it so i can try to put it in a book. Then same thing for the burnette with my take on "frankenstein"
    I cant draw anymore (like i said broken hands added up) but if you guys no people like that were you live could you ask them about full body horror suits. How much that would cost... than photoshoots for books, (thats not including likeness rights which i wouldnt need if i could still draw haha) but im trying to save up money and make a big investment.... but my broke ass has no idea what goal to shoot for..
    Even if you 2 arent interested i would still appreciate knowing how much to save up. (Saving up could take years im trying to self publish and do all myself)
    If yall are interested in helping i appreciate it. Even if yall dont want to it would be awesome to get a ballpark number to save up for. Much love.

    36:25 Understandable. It's actually funny that you've mentioned Spider-Man because I was searching for comics where Blade had crossed over with other Marvel characters and I didn't realized he was in one episode in the original Spider-Man animated series. I didn't reconized him at first until they said his name. Unfortunately, they ton down his character for the show since it was a kid's cartoon. However, I agree. I think Blade and some of the darker Marvel characters should stay in the other side of the MCU.

    Great reaction guys. Glad you enjoyed that. First time I saw this in theater I remember the crowd clapping when Blade took Quinn's head off and took back his sunglasses. Other movies I see around October...Halloween, The Lost Boys, The Monster Squad, The Crow, Dawn of the Dead (Remake), and The Exorcist.

    You mentioned Spider-Man and Blade, the funny thing is Blade was in Spider-Man the animated 90 's cartoon. Blade and Morbuis was in at least 6 episodes from season 2 and 4.

    Pearl is a reference to the comic books when kingpin becomes a vampire also blade is in MCU they just haven't shown him yet but you hear his voice at the end of the eternals movie.

    Blade is being rebooted for new movie with Mahershala Ali as Blade. Wesley Snipes is too old for the reboot, but I can see him being in the reboot in some role as a possible ally of Blade.

    i just turned 14 when this movie released, went with a friend to watch it, that was 16, here in switzerland the movie was rated 14 and up, and since i loved it so much, i went to watch it a second time, a week later, alone. only did that for two movies.
    one of the all time greatest movies. the second one is also pretty neat.

    A lot of people don't realize vampires are a part of the marvel universe. The X-men have actually fought Dracula more than once and one mutant (Jubilee) was actually a vampire for a fairly long period of time. Blade has been part of a superhero team called the midnight sons made of blade, Ghost Rider, and morbious. So while I'm not sure it can fit into the MCU very well vampires have been part of the comics for decades.
