BLADE EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS - FIRST TIME WATCHING *Reaction/Commentary*

[@eglantinepapeau1582]

18:00 specially designed for those who don't need to breathe , a futuristic coffin . 24:41 pureblood vampires were born vampires ( somehow) while vampires like Frost were bitten then became vampires. there's no real difference except maybe knowledge ? they're just classist vampires I guess . Frost however is an idiot , he wants to turn every human into vampires , but if there's no human left , how are the vampires gonna feed ? he's an idiot .

[@3Rayfire]

Vampires can in fact procreate the old fashioned way. Frost's plan is actually seen in the first seen. The meat packing plant has humans in stasis. This is elaborated on in Trinity, but they were basically going to farm humans for blood instead of...letting humans be free range, so to speak.

[@eglantinepapeau1582]

@@3Rayfire oh i didn't know this lore detail about blade universe vamps , i didn't know they coud procreate . so Frost plan is to do what the vamps from the movie "Daybreakers" or from the show "true blood" did literally . I understand better, but it still makes Frost dumb

For me Blade and Whistler dinamic was one of the best parts of the trilogy. They show how much they meant to each other as father and son with actions, imagine how much Whistler hand hurts when holding Blade's hand when he injects the serum, dude does anyways for his son.

[@thatonkgau5221]

Before Luke Cage, before Black Panther there was Blade this movie was Marvel's first successfull film and there first film about a Black superhero. This movie showed how superheroes movies can not only still be profitable and successful,they can also appeal to a wider Adult Audience. It also showed how a black superhero can be done. This movie paved the way for the MCU and superheroes entirely, without Blade we wouldn't have had The dark knight, X men or Iron man. Black panther would've never existed if it weren't for this movie.

[@Arthaius]

@@nastee10 - Well, I don't personally do it myself so don't have 100% of the knowledge, but from some things I have read, if you don't talk enough, like a certain % of the video, you can get slammed with copyright, or some other B.S. although the rules are very obscure, some people will do a watermark over the video, others don't some have it translucent, others don't some people talk a lot, some talk much less - the whole thing is very obscure as it doesn't seem to follow a common format, but I have read somewhere that if you just sit and watch without making comments, then you aren't reacting, you are just watching, while other people can watch too, so yeah I don't know how much you have to talk what the amount is, but there is definitely something in there for that, and maybe some people over compensate to make sure the have themselves covered to avoid a strike. KZbin policies are really really poorly run too much is automation, done by computer so you can lose your whole channel just by a couple of A-holes reporting you for infringement, because if you get 3strikes, the channel is pretty much guaranteed gone done, and doesn't matter how huge or how tiny your channel is, it can be shut down if you get 3 strikes.

WTH is wrong with black folks thinking that something’s wrong with them for missing a black movie?!

[@Armaldo468]

Because certain segments of society condition black folks to define their entire existence by the color of their skin, and there is an unspoken rule that they “aren’t black enough” if they don’t do things a certain way. Conveniently these are also the same segments of society that insist everything is racist-y’know, because caring only about skin color and putting people in boxes based on it *totally* isn’t racist. Segregation has been creeping back into our society over the past few decades-at first gradually and quietly, and now very rapidly and blatantly. Pisses me off. Why must minor environment-based variations be so “important”? Why can’t we recognize the fact that we’re all the same damn species? (Unless some racebaiting venereal infection wants to argue that we’re actually not all the same species, which would be a VERY bad move.) The whole “race” thing is nothing but a divisive sham.

31:14 there was a deleted / extended scene( you have to find it) where Karen asked the exact same thing and deacon show her how. The idea was scrapped and was reused for the "vampire solution" in the third blade movie

[@kevinnorwood8782]

In vampire lore, the technical term for what Blade is is a "Dhampir". A Dhampir is a human-vampire hybrid created when a vampire impregnates a human woman, as opposed to Blade's lore where his mother was bitten while she was already pregnant. But even in traditional vampire lore, dhampirs are portrayed as the ultimate vampire hunters, and pop culture media has no shortage of iconic dhampirs. In addition to Blade, there is also Rayne from the Bloodrayne franchise, and Alucard from the Castlevania franchise.

[@ericechols6056]

@@kevinnorwood8782 Wow, that's awesome & fascinating! Never knew a vampire that impregnated a woman was called a Dhamphir. I've vaguely familiar with Rayne. Didn't they make a movie about Rayne? If Wesley makes a new Blade movie, a good title would be, BLADE: The Return of Dhamphir or BLADE: The Dhamphir. There's an 72' old school vampire movie, named 'Grave of the Vampire', starring the great actor William Smith, as this Dhamphir. Low budget but a good movie.

If you've seen it first Deadpool movie the "superhero landing" was done by Blade first when he took off to kill Frost after ending his mother and the first two Blade movies did save Marvel from filing bankruptcy which birthed the MCU because during the 90's they didn't do well in movies or TV.

[@foresightmystery9845]

To explain y a vampire would be afraid of humans: Humans are far more abundant and resourceful and vampires can't withstand a long war compared to humans as humans can walk the daylight and have many means of over ruling them from nukes, silver, garlic, etc. While they're stronger, they do NOT have a chance in a war with humans

[@3Rayfire]

Depends on how many vampires and how the opening stage goes. Vampires have a distinct advantage that they can replenish their numbers from enemy troops. Also, nukes are just as harmful to humans as they are to vampires, and after the initial burst and fire, the Vampires aren't affected by the radiation. Daytime is substantial advantage, but Vampires have natural night vision, so any advantage that humans gain in the day, the vampires would gain at night. So unless humans gained intel of the coming attack and made the first strike, a full scale war could drag out and be long and costly. That's not even considering Damaskinos' experiments.

[@shawnwacek6791]

After blade came out not many marvel movies had end credit scenes yet until the iron Man movie came out then they started doing end credit scenes more often 😊 This is what just like a standard rated r hero movie type of idea typical storyline of a superhero before it went mainstream like it is today where everybody can predict everything❤ Blade is a masterpiece for what it is not many people that react to this movie expect it to be that good especially when they see the poster for it they think oh it's going to be a typical superhero movie cheesy boring but no everybody says it's a 10 out of 10 or 9 out of 10 rating half the time that I watch reactions to people reacting to this movie❤ Without blade you wouldn't have iron Man what we have today I don't know what it would be like today with marvel if blade didn't save them from being bankrupt for some darn reason I don't know what superhero comic book would be different today instead of blade someone else from another comic book could have saved them from bankruptcy but who knows❤ Can't wait for you to watch the rest of the franchise including blade 2 it gets crazier and it blade three is just a filler but interesting idea for a villain❤
