Wesley Snipes doesn’t get enough credit for saving Marvel.

:mjlol: @ Blade saving Marvel and being disproved so quickly

The first two were good films but the last one was shyt. I wouldn't mind another one, but it isn't gonna happen. Disney's ownership means we will NEVER get another violent Marvel flick and they already said it. They already pulled the piff off Netflix, so why would they do that with a gory vampire killing flick?

Maybe if DC stepped their fukkin shyt up and didn't make things easy for Marvel to have no competition this would change.

nope

those original X-men movies are trash

Blade then Spiderman

Blade is still a film of quality that people can return to. The X Men films, before those that followed First Class, are forgettable. :francis:

never said the Bryan Singer X-Films were particularly good.

but they more so than Blade saved comic book movies because the X Men were a recognizable super hero franchise (and one of the most popular ones of the 90s and 2000s). Alotta people don't even know Blade is a Marvel character.

Think how Hugh Jackman to this day is still riding off of those films setting him up as Wolverine.

They'll make blade again without him :deadmanny:. Probably cast that dude who was in Superfly and Grownish, while cramming in some fake woke bs

Marvel can't make those films. NLC has the rights and has no intention of coming off of them. Most of Marvels film rights for their fringe properties are owned by other studios who are in between a rock and a hard place since they'd have to negotiate (and lose) with Disney in order to get these properties incorporated into the MCU (like how Sony did with Spider Man). Because if they make these movies independent of the MCU, they could flop and the studio loses money.

Even If the movie succeeds, then Disney wins too because Disney owns all of the other rights (merchandizing, television, etc) of the character and can do what they please as long as their multi media version is recognizably different from the film version.

As comic head and a fan of Snipe's movies, I don't think Blade had anything to do with the current success Marvel has with it's movies.

Blade was a successful series, but prior to Blade, Marvel had always planned on X men and Spiderman movies going back as far as the early 90s.

I remember reading about it back then. In otherwords, X men and Spiderman movies were going to happen regardless of whether Blade was a success or not, and like it or not, SPM and XM were the cornerstone of the comic franchise. I think X Men and the OG Spiderman is what really jump started this. Add to that, I don't think most people even know that Blade was a Marvel character to even give it that credit.
