[@Theinen84]

@@touofthehighplains To be fair... he wasn't just being a drama queen. The first two movies were awesome. He had input for the action scenes, worked with choreography and everything. They listened his input, as well as the other actors, and it was a big group project. You can tell there was a team behind it. By the time Trinity hit, Blade was too much of a beast to really be challenged. I mean first movie, he killed a god. Second he took out a super vampire. So that was like "let's do Dracula". He was a bit against that, but went with it. Then they started scripting the action scenes without him, ignoring his input and everything. Let's not forget that they were trying to shoehorn in a multitude of characters to see how many spinoffs they could generate. Patton seems like a decent enough guy. By all means, seems no one has had anything bad to say about him, but he leaves out what led up to Snipes' craziness. The movie was gonna be garbage because they were shifting away from Blade and a more serious tone. You gotta admit, Ryan's humor was grating with the tone of the movie. They killed off Whistler... AGAIN, just to bring in someone and we get a line about her being his daughter. She could've just as well been some rando since there's no connection at all. They even forced HHH in there trying to ride the wave that The Rock created. It was treated like a vehicle for so many up and comers instead of an epic we should've gotten. So he was like "Fuck it". The tone has shifted to trying to blame him, but it was a very different narrative at first, with many saying he was trying to get fired so he still get paid. .....I do hate that we didn't get the alternate story though. Where Frost wins and it becomes an apocalyptic world, ending with him gaining some power or weapon to finally kill him at the end of the trilogy. Would've been awesome!

+ilyriandevil You're a misogynist it seems....

[@zonilo1]

The reason why you call feminism a "poisonous ideology" is misogyny which ironically enough, toxic masculinity is the real poison here. This is how misogyny works unfortunately because if you're against feminism, then you automatically hate women along with it even if you're not aware of it and this has nothing to do with Mother/Father issues at all (although the only legitimate reason to have Daddy issues though if one had a Abusive one and plus he automatically benefits from Male Privilege) . Also misandry doesn't exist because misogyny in the other hand is institutionalized in our society which is why you can't be sexist towards men.

[@zonilo1]

I think you have reality backwards and insideout by regurgitating already debunked myths while remaining ignorant of reality around you due to your own male privilege showing. But there's no point reasoning with sexists/misogynists like you which is why you believe in them.

[@zonilo1]

Even if I did rebuttal you, it probably would be a waste of time because from my previous experiences handling people like you, you'll probably come up with something out of thin air with no evidence to back it up like you did recently. My only advice to you is either educate yourself or remain willfully ignorant which I have a feeling you choose the latter so I guess we're done here.

[@9-bitfox]

+ilyriandevil Fox: OK first off, I started this as a joke for one of my favorite reviewers. Not for a debate about being sexist. First off , people can be sexist both ways. Men are said to have to be strong and muscular and do sports etc. While women are said to be gentle creatures who are subservient to men and who must beautiful etc. These are could be considered the broadest of the sexist/ Sterotypes Both are sexist comments but the male one merely is accepted in society. People can still be sexist toward other genders, not just female. Second, what will fighting in a youtube comment section under a joke do for either argument? Three: I love both strong male and female characters, which many strong female characters are being shown the light many times now. Fourth: Also of you both are putting each other down because of gender, THAT'S BEING SEXIST. Not to mention both of you are both created from a similar amount of atomic elements and the only thing truly different about you both is a X and a Y chromosome. Or we could talk about how in the grand scheme of the universe, we all are on a spec of dust. In short, stop fighting and just enjoy the joke. If not, please continue on with this comment somewhere it could probably do something.

Did Nostalgia Critic put up all the R rated comic book movies before Deadpool and not include V for Vendetta? That was a comic book movie too, mate.

[@CitrusRev]

Zone Doll V for Vendetta is a DC comic

[@jem2779]

There is no much blood in V for Vendetta really, it is hardly 'R'.

[@Sonichero151]

Allow me to bring up the point in five words "That was a comic book?"

[@MelStaub]

From memory it was (M)15+ but, if it was R rated it definitely didn't deserve it, considering they cut a majority of the disturbing stuff out, for example, in the intro when Evey goes for her walk after curfew she originally tries to whore herself to some undercover cops, mind you in the graphic novel she was fifteen years of age... to add to it though the cops begin to try and rape her before V comes to her rescue, another example is the doll burning scene between V and a man named Lewis who had a hand in the concentration camp, after which V brainwashes him to dress like a doll and talk like a baby, there are plenty more but those are two off the top of my head, lets also not forget the film only covers the first half of the novel with other part from further along in the story stiched in, we didn't even get to see Evey take on the personality of V to continue his Idea and philosophy, I just wish the film was never made.

[@JustinAKABiff]

While Deadpool isn't the first R-rated comic book movie, it certainly is the first R-rated superhero movie in a long time - especially in this new era where literally everyone is afraid of the R-rating for fear of shrinking their market even a little bit. Even horror movies aim for PG-13 to ensure they can reach broader demographics. For Deadpool to come out brandishing that red banner and say "Fuck you, we know the demographic we want to please" it's just refreshing and ballsy. I'm not even a big Deadpool fan, but that just really impresses me.

[@TheKeyser94]

[@GoatPopsicle]

Vision Bricks now that we have “access” to the multiverse, making any kind of movie fit in the overall MCU is easy. Not everything has to be inside earth 616 anymore. Dr.Strange and Wanda’s movement throughout the multiverse can even open up a (hopefully) separate X-Men universe; just to keep the larger story more manageable than the comics. You can ignore characters existing in the comics, but trying to explain why the movie Avengers don’t help against freaking vampires would be a tough sell.

[@naymanmod1992]

@@GoatPopsicle it doesn't matter man even in comics most characters are very separate. Just look at X-Men in general. Bad things happen all the time yet The Avengers even having Wolverine in the team don't give a s**h at all. Or look at Daredevil too. That's kinda why i ''don't'' like Marvel putting every character into the same city. BTW MCU is not Earth-616.

[@DeathssynProductions]

Its not called a zombie, its a ghoul...kind of like a zombie, but not. Ghouls in vampire lore are explained differently in different places, but essentially they are the state between a vampire and a human. It requires more than just being bitten to become a vampire, just being bitten makes you a ghoul. For example, in one fictional universes lore the infected human must drink vampire blood to complete the transformation, if not they become a ghoul. Often ghoul's lack intelligence and free will, not being ruled by an overwhelming need for brains, but by the vampire that bit them, like an undead slave. In other lore, ghouls can be minions summoned by necromancy, most often from the corpses of victims of the vampire. I will say though, that the blade movies play really fast and loose with vampire mythos and even its own mythos making it hard to get a read on what things are and how they really are meant to work.

[@aliveNChristgal220]

Say it with me, a Ghoulpire

[@DeathssynProductions]

haha

[@zonilo1]

+DeathssynProductions In Vampire: The Masquerade and Requiem, Ghouls are created just by directly drinking the Vampire's blood if you're mortal but if you're a Vampire already, then you become blood bonded to the Vampire you drank your blood to especially if you drink their blood three times.

[@katherinesanderson8990]

In Hellsing you have to be a virgin to become a vampire, otherwise you become a ghoul

[@ShawndaPrawn]

I remember Skulduggery Pleasant had that whole Ghoul thing, except they were called "Infected" in those books. In that case, Humans bitten by a vampire enter a mindless zombie-like state in which they are completely obedient to the vampire that bit them for 2 days, and then they properly transform.

Are we going to ignore that Blade's name is Eric.

[@Disconnect350]

Actually, I always considered Blade movies stand alone films even though they were based off a comic book character. True, Blade comics came first, but nobody knew about him before Wesley Snipes, comics just threw in the idea of there being a Black, badass vampire hunter and Snipes and the film did all the rest which became a massive success. Nobody went to see this film because they read the comic (because hardly anyone did) instead they enjoyed the trailer and liked what they saw. As far as I'm concerned Snipes IS Blade. Snipes is to Blade, what Harrison Ford is to Indiana Jones. I love Blade and it's a kickass movie that still holds up and is definitely far more memorable and entertaining than most of MCU, rather watch Blade 10 times than any MCU movies again. Blade 2 is also pretty damn good.
