The real Marvel Jesus. Blade saved Marvel from bankruptcy because the movie was a box office success, led to other studios to buy the spider-man and x-men rights and make movies of them and this led the Disney buying the other marvel characters and the MCU was born. The success of this movie also inspired Warner Bros to make a more gritty realistic Batman and hired Christopher Nolan to do it, Plus this movie inspired the Matrix and the video game Tekken. Also Stan Lee said Blade was his favourite Marvel character. Blade basically saved the live action superhero movie.

@@kaluminati731 in the 1990s you had Joel Schumacher Batman films where goofy and huge expensive flops and all the studios stopped making superhero movies as it was viewed as a dead genre that didn’t make money. So they were not going to make anymore Batman movies or superman movies. Blade was the only scheduled superhero movie that was more gritty and close to comic version of the character. When Blade made 300 million adjusting for inflation on a £45 million budget, it was the first Marvel character to be a success and proved there was still an audience for superheroes and this convince other studios to make live actions movies on spider-man and the x-men and this was because of blade

[@kaluminati731]

@@Delboy0 Batman Forever made a pretty good amount of money, especially for the mid 90s. Batman and Robin more or less broke even, and it was a bad movie. There were no plans to make additional Batman or Superman movies right away, but to assume that they never were again is pretty silly. Lois and Clark was a popular TV show.

[@Vulcanerd]

I'm glad the slow-mo replays of Cassie freaking out is back in these video 😂

[@alyxgriffen5073]

Cassie -- it's not that the gun vaporized the vampires, it's that vampires instantly burn to ash when they die. Blade's gun/s fired silver hollowpoint bullets filled with garlic, and he aimed for the head or the heart. (Hollowpoint bullets expand after being fired; they hit the body with a small hole, but the effect on body tissue after the initial entrance is... unpleasant.) The reason "Mr Crispy" regenerated is that Blade didn't kill him outright; he was pinned to the wall with stakes in non-vital parts of his anatomy. And the police put the fire out before he was consumed by it; therefore he was still "alive" and able to regenerate.

[@beelzebub_jones]

I also remember when blade came out there was a website from the studio of lore about the vampires and there were not just vampires but they were clans, not exactly like vampire the masquerade but you could get some hints fo that and one of the clans, i forget its name, could regenerate. Quinn was one of those.

Nobody copied nobody. Movies use a lot of sunglasses because of eye blinking. A lot of action movies especially from earlier days. When you “pull the trigger” you blink, so the way around this is sunglasses. I didn’t know this a while back either. But it’s simple to find out.

[@claytonbishop4021]

When David S. Goyer first pitched the idea of doing a Blade movie, the executives of New Line felt there were only three actors who could possibly do the role: Wesley Snipes, Denzel Washington and Laurence Fishburne, but in Goyer's mind, Snipes was always the perfect choice for the character of Blade. And everybody should agree with that.

[@AFMountaineer2000]

Snipes' people didnt want him to do this saying he was above doing this type of movie. But Snipes wanted to do it because he never saw a black vampire kicking ass with martial arts before.

[@simankim]

They're all great actors, but Snipes was definitely the right choice. His physicality and agility is impressive and his martial arts background really shows.

[@TheSwordOfTheJedi-u2p]

I like Fishburne, but he would have been a bad choice. If they had got Denzel all the fight scenes would have been 100% stunt people, also Denzels also 7 years older than Snipes. Snipes was essentially perfect for the role (outside of any unknowns).

[@jblitzen]

Dafne Keen was asked which actor in Deadpool and Wolverine changes the most when they put their costume on, and she couldn't name one but she said that Wesley changes the least, because he IS Blade.

[@naughty.r0bot]

Snipes was a multi-discipline black belt in real life and required almost no training whatsoever for his fight sequences, just rehearsal of the choreography. Keanu Reeves by comparison had to study with a legendary team of stunt choreographers from Hong Kong 12 hours a day for 4 months non-stop to perform his fight sequence in _The Matrix_

[@erikbjelke4411]

01:25: "Does Blade use sword or guns?" Yes. 07:41: "Come on, those are the Neo sunglasses." Welcome to the early 2000s. Enjoy your stay. I don't mean that everything was ripping off "The Matrix," I think "Blade" actually came first, by a little bit. But that was just part of the times, long coats, black leather, dark wraparound sunglasses, supremely stoic stoicism. 38:24: Please, *please,* for the sake of my sanity, stop making "Twilight" references in my "Blade" movie!

Now you have some understanding of why the fans exploded with joy when Blade made his cameo in D&W and said the iconic line. No overload of special effects, just fast action, great lines, and humor to take the edge off. Wesley Snipes had a great career before his legal troubles. You might want to check him out in New Jack City, To Wong Foo..., and White Men Can't Jump to see some of his non-action range. And, Cassie, you don't always have to do monsters and blood to be scared. There are some great horror thrillers out there that are really scary because they could possibly happen, like 47 Meters Down, Don't Look Now, and the original When A Stranger Calls. Look forward to the next Halloween-themed movie.

Thank you for your sincere and honest opinion on this movie! I knew from the start that this film wasn’t going to be your cup of tea. But understand that this movie, as well as the first X-Men movie, were the first films that paved the way for the development of the comic book movie genre. They subverted expectations, more so X-men, and showed film makers that it was possible to bring characters like this to the big screen to please both fans of the comics, casual movie goers, and critics.

"The more younger people that finally discover this movie always shock me by not saying anything about Traci Lords being so prominently featured in the opening scenes" Generally speaking younger people aren't going to be intimately familiar with the career of an ex underage pornstar who was active in the 80's. I am in my 40's and had no clue who she was or what she was famous for before this film came out. And tbh I have been known to watch a lot of porn.... just not the illegal stuff, which is what she was in, albeit the people making the movies didn't know that, doesn't make the movies any more legal. Why would anyone in their 20s-30s have any clue who she is or why her being in this movie is a vaguely big deal?

[@clarkmichaels822]

She could be confused because Uncle Tom has opposing meanings nowadays. Book Uncle Tom is the opposite of how the expression is used in conversation.

[@alexbruce9499]

​@@clarkmichaels822The way it's typically used in conversation now is the same way Frost was using it in that scene. It's just slightly more figurative as he's using it to call Blade a vampire pretending to be human, albeit with a racial undercurrent given Blade is black. I doubt Cassie is aware of the specific origin of Uncle Tom, I'd guess she either didn't grasp what Frost meant or doesn't know the expression.

We owe this movie a lot. If it wasn't for Blade, we wouldn't have the MCU today. Marvel was on the verge of bankruptcy. When Blade came out, it was a box office success that gave Marvel a lifeline and compelled them to make more serious, gritty films. This led the way for X-Men, then the Spider Man movies, and then Iron Man, which started the MCU golden age. None of it would've been possible without this movie and Wesley Snipes' dedicated performance.

[@PhysicalMediaPreventsWea-bx1zm]

The X-Men was already in pre-production when this movie was made. Technically Spider-Man was too, though pit was the James Cameron version that ended up not being made. Anyway, financially Blade did help save Marvel studios but it had nothing to do with the X-Men or Spider-Man being made

[@ahdvd]

Blade is very special and means a lot to comic book fans with regards to movies and how comic books are treatet as source material’s treatment when brought to the screen (which is why he got such a phenomenal reaction when making that appearance where you first met him). This movie was the start of comic books being treated as serious material in movies and not played for laughs and instead respects the comic and respects the character. It did this before x-men which a lot of people incorrectly consider to be the first to do so, but it was this movie? This, and the incredible quality of the movie is why it’s so revered.

[@shanelogan630]

In case anyone’s wondering, Curtis, Karen’s ex, is something that happens depending on vampire media. In some vampire lore depending on what you’re watching/reading/game playing, there is something called a ghoul. It’s like a vampiric slave, thrall, or zombie like creature that obeys a vampire that turns them. Depending on the media they may maintain human like appearance or go full zombie. Ghouls vary in vampire media but in Blade it’s an accidental thing that happens. Like how they said vampirism can be born with or contracted like a disease. In this lore it’s like another disease that comes along with vampirism. Hope that clarifies

[@RabbitShirak]

Another example about ghouls. In anime/manga Hellsing, only virgins become vampires (or atleast that's how it originally worked), non-virgins become ghouls.

[@Bananahammock681]

Blade was an OG Marvel movie, largely responsible for all the good that followed. And the movie we all pointed to and gave a Jackie Chan meme when people commented about Black Panther being "the first black super hero" and again when they changed the goal posts to "commercially successful black super hero" This was awesome.

The success of Blade (1998) definitely paved the way for future Marvel movies, though I personally don’t think Blade "saved" Marvel. X-Men was already in production before Blade came out, and the rights to Spider-Man had already been sold to Sony, with work on the script underway. So, regardless of how Blade did, we would’ve still seen X-Men (2000) and Spider-Man (2002) two iconic films that had a larger impact on both Marvel and pop culture. Spider-Man really embraced comic book elements and was a huge success, which stands in contrast to the darker, black leather style of X-Men and Blade, though this tone fit Blade really well. A lot of people still don’t know that Blade is a Marvel character, which makes sense since the movie never featured the Marvel intro and nothing about it really screams "Marvel" to the average viewer. Surprisingly, some people didn’t even realize X-Men or Fantastic Four were Marvel, which as a comic fan, blows my mind. But because so many people associate Marvel with the MCU so there’s this disconnect between the MCU and anything outside of it. These days, though, I think the mainstream audience is getting more aware of Blade and his connection to the bigger Marvel universe. It happens with a lot of characters. I’m sure there are people who didn’t know Constantine is a DC character either, so it’s always cool to see their reactions when they find that out. Hopefully the Blade film is good and opens the doors to a Midnight Sons film starring a team-up with Doctor Strange and other supernatural characters.

Dear Cassie, Blade came out 1998, the Matrix came out in 1999. No one would have known who Neo was back then. Also, the brand and type of sunglasses that Blade wears are Oakley "Black Flys.” In the Matrix, the brand and type of sunglasses Neo wears are Binde “Eclipse.” Blade is a Dhampir, a being that is half-human and half-vampire. The thing about Blade is that he’s a man of few words as he lets his actions speak for himself. He expresses his emotions in subtle manners and expressions. His background is so dark, tragic, painful, violent, and lonely, being nice is a luxury. He’s also been brought up in a world that requires him to be a hardened warrior. Wesley Snipes really captured the stoic nature of Blade’s character perfectly. The guns don’t vaporize the vampires Cassie, it’s the ammunition. Whistler explains that the vampires are severely allergic to silver and garlic. The bullets Blade uses are silver hollow-point filled with garlic. (20:38) I think you are referring to Whistler who escapes into the sewers. Blade did say that he could take care of himself. (21:41) If you are talking about Pearl, he’s an obese vampire. I’m sure you’ve heard about humans who are overweight because they have an obsession with eating, well Pearl has the same problem. According to the director, Stephen Norrington, the cause of Pearl's obese size was his cannibalistic lust for infants and children as he loves to eat their hearts. Given his abnormal size, he is kept in the archives as a record keeper for the House of Erebus. (22:40) Have you ever used pliers before? It’s a pretty common handheld tool used for gripping, cutting, pulling, and bending objects. People often use them to tighten or loosen nuts and bolts. In this case, Frost is using it to pull Dragonetti’s fangs out of his mouth. (24:41) I’m not sure if you know but “Uncle Tom” is a derogatory term used to describe a black person who is excessively obedient or subservient to white people. It is similarly used to negatively describe people who betray their own group by participating in their oppression. The term comes from the title character of Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 novel Uncle Tom's Cabin. In the novel, the character of Uncle Tom is a faithful enslaved African American who is ultimately beaten to death for refusing to betray the whereabouts of other slaves. R.I.P.
