Given marvel’s brand of, “3 camera cuts for one punch” I don’t believe even snipes would have improved the fight scenes by a large amount.

I think that’s one of the reasons Jackie chan wasn’t feeling it in the states.

If you look at the older movies he got, shyt is like one motion, no jump cuts or nothing. Directors be tripping on that.

All marvel movies be doing that shyt probably because the actors can’t fight for shyt, cgi or whatever.


Probably the best combat in the 10 years is civil war and that’s mostly in the end with cap and Bucky vs iron man.

Yep, it's because these actors can't fight. There's a youtube vid where Jackie Chan goes in on how hollywood action scenes be looking like shyt because they compensate actor's lack of fighting skill with several cuts and camera movement which in turn makes fight scenes look disconnected and it removes the "feel" of impact and fluidity from the fighting. With Jackie action and reaction is shot in the same take. He'd be a director's nightmare because dude would start over if a fight sequence went wrong and would keep at it till it looked good. So shyt would take forever and the downside to that is the acting and plot takes a back seat to the action.

Exactly. Compare Bourne to Raid Redemption :hhh:

The Truth
OP is correct. Blade also killed the main villain, a white man -->not one of his own.
The nikka was trying to kill his momma, sister, and girl:dahell:


On top of that, he said he could save him.. Breh didn't want it:hubie:

That's why you gotta give dudes like Keanu Reeves all the credit in the world with John Wick. Dude did like 90% of his stunts and shattered the myth that American actors won't put in the work for authentic fight scenes.

No cheap quick cuts but legit marital arts (judo, jiu jistu, karate) taking place where he clearly knew what he was doing.

Panther>>>>>>>Blade and I like Blade. At least Panther has predominately Black supporting cast and wasn't mentored by a White man.

I love how ever since Panther got pushed into the spotlight everybody is suddenly a HUGE fan of Blade. I've seen Blade mentioned soo many times these past few months then I've ever seen in the past 14 years. People just love to be contrarian in this day and age

I watched Blade every single day when it came on tape, watched it in the theater in 1998 and dressed as him for Halloween.

His fight scenes take a shyt on Black Panther's. The club, hospital, subway scene, ending just to name a few. Blade might have the best intro of all time.

I LOVED Black Panther and all but....without Blade there is no MCU.

Blade 1 fight scenes were flames, I wanna know the producer/choreographer that said "Blade's fight scenes were dope for the sequel and Trinity lets fukk it up though" :huhldup:

Blade's hand to hand fight scenes wipe the floor with Black Panther's.

Wesley being a martial artist showed.

You can love both though ya know?
I do, but i also like discussions like this. It's like fantasy sports with comics.
I'd actually like to see them made the first two blade films canon to the MCU, then have Old man Blade(played by Wesley) pop up at some point.
Falcon could be like, I know another guy.

when blade came out that movie had everyone hyped and everyone loved it. If social Media was out back then youd realize how big it was
