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

[Grifter]

Quick question.

Was there a Blade game?

 

[Methodical]

I didn’t know it had a tv series.

Yeah, it was.

this topic again. gets made every year...

but yeah i still watch the first 2 blades every year. haven't watch x-men, spiderman, ironman, etc multiple times. they are garbage compared to blade 1 and 2 (3 was so so). Only movie I watched more than once was Logan

 

[Benefited]

Say what you will about Trinity but I still think all 3 Blade movies with Snipes are dope.

Trinity is better than at least 2 of those Iron Man and two of those Thor movies
Black people need some credit here too,just goes to show the power when you make characters that will bring us out in droves.
Sure white people went to see it too,but if black people didn't go see it it would have probably made half of what it did and we wouldn't be having this discussion. Black people have more power in hollywood than we are given credit for too. But movies are rarely catered to us culturally,Blade was through Wesleys swag.

kurt is only retiring from the circus that wanted to market him as a freak. and shy? hes a well liked well adjusted kid despite his looks by the time he meets charles. kurt was never broken to the degree he is in the movie. not even when he lost his soul. jean and storm are shells of their comic selves in just about every way including x2, but at least jean gets to have her personality explored. storm like many of the characters that arent rogue logan charles and max are only there to be identifiable, not true to their characters. bobby isnt the jokester hiding his insecurites from his perceived superiority of the other 3 boys, and is just.. rogues love interest even then, although, they are kids, they are also being trained to fully utilize their skills, but that aspect isnt seen in x2. first class isnt just about powers either. at its core its about a bunch of kids that come together realizing they arent alone with their skills and come together to learn to use their powers. why they killed off the most powerful of the kids i dont know. the xmen experience isnt just one or another. you take weak kids, and have them interact with their own and training to be better with their power as well as being people. we never get that during the fox run outside of deadpool

X2 video showing Nightcrawler being shy.. and being very religious I should add (like in the comics).



In Giant Size X-men Prof X saved NC from people that were trying to kill him. He was fleeing for his life and was initially shy and ashamed of how he looked throughout X-men 100-range. He knew that people didn't like him. He knew Kitty didn't like him.

See here.

Hence his reaction in #141 Days of Future Past shown here.

He mentioned people being scared of him in X2 (video above) and that is a standard comic trope in X-Men. People misjudging him as devilish even though he is religious.

He is very religious despite his looks. In X2 he was praying every 5 mins of screen time. You didnt see this anywhere else.

And that is just Nightcrawler.

First Class is a sacrilegious mess. Shaw in the comics was nothing like the movie. The hellfire club would see no value in a war like that. In the comic they are all monied and/or powerful industrialists and/or powerful socially. They are titans of industry. They are not there to tear things down. They are there to gain as much money and influence as possible. Powers incidental.

Shaw himself remarked and hinted at seldom using his powers. Unlike in FC where he always led with them.

etc

none of that shows him as shy. being aware that someone doesnt like you doesnt make you shy, it shows youre aware of how people see you.

you wanna talk out of character enemies? stryker hates mutants so much that he kills his newborn son and wife when his son is born, yet hes going around brainwashing mutants to work for him? this is around the time in comics where he blew up buses filled with depowered mutant kids. hed rather kill himself than work with them, but here you go. its a movie

Exactly. Marvel owes everything to Snipes.

Look i love blade but yall coli nikkas gotta stop with the bullshyt yall spew out ya mouths

 

[NYSTATEOFMIND]

Blade wasn't part of the Disney / MCU brand- Disney only cares about Disney shyt...MCU doesn't big up X-Men either because they werent part of Disney -

Blade deserves credit in that the movie showed America had an appetite for comic book movies- New Line Cinema is Warner Bros which is Disney direct competitor- they not gonna give them any shine

Blade was cool but Iron Man is the godfather of the Marvel MCU

What over movies did marvel had at the time that was critically and commercially successful? Hell comic book movies weren’t even poppin like that back then until Blade came on the scene.

 

[Animal House]

Blade 2 is my GOAT Marvel movie

 

[hjnm]

I don't think people associated Blade with comicbooks, I think the audiences thought it was just a movie. X-Men, Spider-Man and them were all had that comic association from the jump.

You got a point there. A lot of people were shocked when I told them Blade was a Marvel comic book character.
