Mackie ain’t leading man material. Don’t matter if you’re black, white, asian, indian, or an extraterrestrial, if the actor ain’t got it then they ain’t got it. Thems be the breaks. :yeshrug:
Which is crazy, because he really works well as a side kick, just not as the leading man. it was it is

I saw that and it defies logic. Like I wanna watch Highlander and really want a history lesson.

Or Predator and don't want to see an alien go HAM.

The first fukkin movie was exactly that and is a bonafide classic
They deadass could have the Blade movies be the john wick/ip man of marvel movies and people would be happy with that. Martial arts, swords, wise cracks and gore. Done.

They trying to win an oscar with the next blade because they got marshela as the lead.

Sad thing is based on the sinners, they might've actually done that. If they had let coogler make that into blade like he wanted

You either got that presence or you don't. Mackie has shown more charisma in press junkets and you can see why Marvel/Disney loves to keep homie around, but hasn't been able to channel that energy on-screen.

i think he just the wrong character for his persona. He might've worked better as Mile Morales if he was young enough for that role.
He not the stoic type.

Yeah they're so deadass on making everything interconnected they can't even see that some things are just better left alone as a standalone property. Some things are just better off by themselves

How Blade didn't show up in werewolf by night is a textbook example of cinematic malpractice

mackie has negative charisma
He is okay as wilson
The issue is they tried to make Falcon Capt America instead of just elevating Falcon.
Not to mention his series was preachy and terrible which made people dislike him.
They poorly wrote that show so bad that people ended up liking walker./ us agent. lol

Not mackie's fautt but has him in a deficit.

THey are detemined to give us a blade we don't want and have it flop. Instead of just giving us what we want.

Superhero movies are just sci fi action movies. If they focus more on the action. and less on whatever it is they are focusing on now they would still be winning.

We just want a bloodlusted Blade cutting vampire heads off lol that’s not hard

Why is that so hard for them lol

K.I.S.S. Keep it simple stupid and stop trying to over think it.

Give us some gun fu with vampires, some practical effects and make it look good with minimal plot holes.

Probably wrong but I just expect this to be like 75% of Superman across the board. People are gonna like but not love it. Audiences are gonna see it, but it won't be a massive hit. Just gonna come out, get compared to Superman, have a quick moment and kinda fade into the background.

... Or, none of that. Who the fukk knows
I was basically right, but I actually think the movie was more boring and bland than I ever thought possible. Genuinely feel like I saw this 4 months ago already and barely remember what I saw
