How Blade Saved Marvel!

A half-mortal, half-immortal is out to avenge his mother's death and rid the world of vampires. The modern-day technologically advanced vampires he is going after are in search of his special blood type needed to summon an evil god who plays a key role in their plan to execute the human race.

[@lisear2926]

Wesley Snipes is a great actor.

[@mrmagnetic8993]

One of the best yea

[@lloyd9819]

His role in demolition man was fantastic aswell

[@EC-ol8nz]

Wesley is awesome! No ringtone and his cinematography was Amazing. Sad weirdo Hollywood chased of Norrington for good 😢

[@user-tq4pc6nh7j]

Wesley Snipes just made Blade a living legend and the only Marvel movie I can watch over and over.

[@Screamr2024]

Same here. There's no movie in the MCU that will EVER match Blade1&2

[@nickkcuevas]

True. I watch it over and over again since I was six

[@gumpycognac4505]

You ain’t lying. Blade movies and the first 2 iron man movies have never ending rewatch for me

[@serene1275]

🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

[@dmongru]

Say it louder. Blade is the ONLY Marvel movie that I’ll gladly rewatch

[@fistoflegend1564]

I'm so glad that Wesley Snipes is finally getting his flowers 💐 Thank you for recognizing these facts👍🏿

[@mr.controversial3076]

He totally deserve it! I felt like Blade was untouchable! Blade also never showed any fear to anyone! He always stayed cool and collected! A legend!

[@mr.iiconic]

The only thing they got wrong was Blade being lame. Nightstalkers was considered great before the movie ever happened.

[@Rincon8604]

funny to me wesley and blade are getting recognition now after all this time. esp when just a few years back black panther was also considered the first black marvel superhero. wesley and that franchise should have gotten its flowers a long time ago.

[@Rafaelkeepitsimple]

Words of wisdom. There is only one blade and there will always be one blade, Wesley Snipes. He’s got this. He’s the man.

[@Rage448]

And he is coming back in theaters 2025

[@stanaio8356]

He literally single handedly did it on his own. Without the big cast like X-men and Avengers series. No Blade there wouldn't be any Wolverine Spider-Man or Deadpool.

[@Bootycheeks8]

You sure? I don't believe that. You're trying to give too much credit to some spook for your SJW points 😆

[@biorobot2]

No blade, no funds for Spiderman, no ambition for Marvel and Disney to make the MCU …

[@sheldonanderson189]

Blade saved Marvel, but now Marvel can't save Blade.

[@erneste-3williams]

Straight up POETRY

[@smakajo400]

I'm guessing that's why Ryan made the poetic move of asking Wesley to reprise his role in D&W.

FACTS

[@rewade70]

That’s how it always go!

[@texasville1971]

Huh that’s weird…I thought Marvel didn’t own the rights to Blade at the time 20th Century did. Soooo Marvel got money from a movie that had nothing to do with them?

@@zodiacthundaga7264 Best line in the whole damn movie! Throwing the vial up in the air then spin-kicking it into Frost's head, causing him to explode is the icing on the cake!

[@glitterkitty1979]

I went to see the first Blade 3 times in the cinema when it first came out. This movie is iconic.

[@jasengriffin485]

THANK YOU for giving this movie the credit it deserves!!!!

[@user-vy3wj3xh8r]

Plus he a really trained in the arts

[@curtismay5542]

Wesley Snipes is actually a black belt and he's actually a doctor

[@Thelounge3k]

People keep trying to discredit this movie and what it did for the entire marvel franchise. The Blade movies can hold their weight even til this day

[@mr.iiconic]

1 and 2 can. 3 is awful

[@phillipnelson3586]

Blade was the best snipes made the character look good this movie will never get old

[@michaelangelo7772]

that blade movie is a cult classic, I use to watch it religiously especially that club intro scene, you already know the rest of the movie was going to be badass

[@joecrypto0374]

It’s him , it’s him. Daywalker !! So epic

[@andregray2333]

Wesley snipe's is a 6 degree shotokan karate not a common martial arts

[@user-mq9ww2ur9k]

It's funny because Ken and Ryu from Street Fighter use Shokotan Karate 😮

[@phillipwalker4237]

Many say...........thats a fact. Wesley Snipes saved Marvel and made movies like Spiderman, Thor, Iron Man, and The Avengers possible

[@trulysickofit3709]

And yet Marvel has made an astonishing mistake of making a reboot of this movie without Wesley Snipes. I will not be watching it. Marvel, I’m disappointed in you.

[@MotoMiles]

I was worried about a five foot 7 blade being cast from the hulkish powerhouse I was used to seeing in comics . But Wesley Snipes brought the heat. In my mind, he became blade.

[@josephalvarez7315]

You have him mixed up with Tom Holland. He is 5'7 Wesley's 5'9

[@MotoMiles]

@@josephalvarez7315 yeah I’m probably looking from warped views I’m 6 ft3 . Lol 😂 I want all heroes my height or bigger

There’s only been one blade there’s only ever gonna be one blade 😎

[@kunfuz1on5]

Plus the fact you had one of the greatest opening sequences of all time. Kick ass fight scene with kick ass music.

[@LCARSDATANODE-b6o]

1000 percent agree. And guess what? No agenda necessary, in fact, they disrespected a lot of people when they said black panther was the first black superhero. Nevermind blade or spawn.

[@fabioalvesshow]

Blade 2 is my favorite

[@artenselmcculloughjr7162]

Blade changed the game for MCU movies to succeed the way they are now.

[@doublezero3309]

Blade has a cult following even now and they need Wesley Snipes, he is Blade like Arnold Schwarzenegger is terminator period...

[@gracecovington9632]

I Concur ,Mr.Snipes is indeed a Great actor.

[@saulhudson302]

Go Wesley , I mean Blade !

[@Graham2468]

The greatest vampire movie ever!

[@gumpycognac4505]

Hands down

[@serene1275]

I must have watched every single vampire movie and Blade is the greatest one. In second place is Dusk to Dawn.

[@alexsolorzano6335]

Also got to put the lost boys in there

[@ianditwin7443]

​@@serene1275 I would say Underworld as the 2nd best.

[@user-qq6rr2je4q]

Someone watched several thousand vampire movies???

[@brentmcmillan9374]

The first time I seen this movie me and my cousin and my friend went seen blade it was exciting and awesome

[@minya1208]

Of course because of Wesley❤😊

[@TonyBakercomedy]

I love “Blade”

[@reneabernal4047]

When he was asked if he was ready to die, Blade told Dracula: "I was born ready muthafucka!" Wesley is the muthafuckin man. From Nino Brown to Blade!

[@Leandro-X.2024]

The King of Marvel, yet they are doing their King dirty. Blade probably regrets saving them.

[@jacobcasmus1882]

Blade 1 & 2 are still some of my favorite movies!

[@DianneWithaT]

Blade is by far one of their best movies. I have seen them so many times

[@sephiroth8377]

Just watched Blade last night again for the first time in ages due to... well, if you know you know. It aged so well

[@troyblanks3674]

One of the reasons why this movie was such a success is because it was in the 90s and it had that 90s dark grungy vibe to it. I don’t know if you can do that again in these days time it definitely is the best marvel movie.

[@thinhtokusatsugame8213]

My childhood hero❤

[@devooski4751]

DC “blade? Ready to die?” Marvel “I was born ready mutha Fuqua”

[@darrinwims5110]

Hell yeah love blade snopes is the best

[@azulaozai7895]

They should’ve given us FIVE more movies with Wesley snipes as Blade frfr

[@Thewolverine0865]

Blade in the comics was never a lame character. It's debut on the silver screen was well deserved.

[@user-mq9ww2ur9k]

Facts and he looked closer to Will Smith than Wesey😅They messed up War Machine and Black Panther's look too making them All Darker and Luke Caje 😅😂😊

[@CreativeBigL]

Wesley Snipes Blade and Dwayne Johnson Black Adam are the only comic book movies I care about.

[@libraryofpangea7018]

Part of its success tho, is it wasn't trying to be a super hero moive. It was a good Vampire moive, borrowing heavily from other Vampire media of the time- especially from Vampire the Masquerade table top game which is where it got it's new aesthetic, mood & thematics from.

[@DanGTO130]

Blade also used bullet time before the matrix!

[@TommyChau0811]

Wesley Snipes has the character and charisma nobody have 🥰 Wesley Snipes is unique ❤🎉

[@TonyDeeTiger-en1lh]

That was the only marvel movie I went to the theaters to see.

[@rewade70]

Got Blade 1&2 on DVD. For ppl under 25, a DVD 📀 is a Digital Video Disc that have movies on them. You would play them in a DVD player or now a BLU RAY DVD player for enhancement.

[@shawnkincheloesr5192]

Yeah & that 1st Blade was off the chain 👊🏾✌🏾

[@JohnSmith-sj2dk]

my fave.

[@soyreeng8864]

Blade rave scene intro with "new order confusion" is still by far the best techno/dance music scene in all movies ever made since till this day. It wins hands down

[@KingDizzleLTDinc.]

Better give Wesley his due!!

[@geelangadipr223]

Honestly, when i watch it i have no idea it was marvel movie until the thirth.

[@texasville1971]

You had no idea because marvel didn’t own or make the Blade movies at the time and marvel didn’t get no money for it 😂20th century owned the rights and marvel had nothing to do with Blade.

[@user-rn8lc1oo2k]

I was Thinking 🤔 the same thing I didn't know Blade was a marvel character. Oh , So ..... that's why !!! Thanks for the info !!!!

[@3csanti]

Blade was never a lame character.

I literally said this to my wife, Blade is the real hero of the marvel brand.

[@sajidshaikh1936]

Wesley is martial artist no one can match he's action as blade

[@ArchetypeSentient]

The opening clubbing scene is beyond the most impressionable movie entrances.... shits eternal.

"There's only been one Blade! Only ever gonna be one Blade"

[@TiVo2Go]

They were about to sell off everything, they already sold SpiderMan and Xmen.

[@CManoyUragon]

Blade should be a part of the Super Marvel Heroes.. If Blade helped Marvel to make a lot of money before thru Wesley Snipe.. I think Wesley Snipe deserves to be a part of the Avengers superheroes..

[@donaldlassleben5944]

I don't understand how marvel keeps screwing up the fantastic 4 they were my favorite comic when I was a kid infact I had the first when they went to space and turned into the fantastic 4

Marvel almost went bankrupt then blade came out and changed everything. This film was the savior 🙌🏽

There is one blade, there will ever be one blade. Marvel Jesus 😅

So WESLEY saved marvel!!

Howard the Duck was the shit, people just didn't understand back then.

[@tekay7775]

I was around 6 7 when this came out. I remember a lil bit of it, but I thought it was good when I seen it. I need 2 go back & look at it now tho, see what's bad about it

He saved Marvel but they left dude hangin’ that’s called a sucker move right there.I remember 2016 or some Wesley still want it to make a new blade movie,nobody gave a fuck and now Ryan Reynolds helped dude to make comeback on deadpool.This shit is total sucker move by Marvel.Wesley was the best blade and still is.I can’t think anybody fit in those shoes.Legendary status on this one.Thank you Wesley.

[@Prosodyy]

We just wanted everyone to give him credit honestly, sad it took this long and sad to say but if Chadwick didn’t pass so early Wesley might’ve never seen the spotlight again🤷‍♂️

BLADE 2 was peak!

[@daviddalda6856]

Please make blade 4 with wesley snipes

[@Mistarpotato]

Tobey Maguire's Spiderman may have been the start of something new for Marvel and a step in the right direction, but Wesley Snipe's Blade was a HUGE LEAP in the right direction and his acting transformed how we look at the character today and probably will forever. There truly will only ever be one Blade and that's Wesley motha fuckin Snipes.

[@rudolphmorgan4136]

Love “Blade” all 3 movies!!

[@lennywright5655]

Arguably Iron Man is the most influential Marvel movie, and Blade is the most important.

[@mr.iiconic]

I would say Blade was pivotal, but the most influential would probably be Spider-Man or the Avengers, in terms of influencing pop culture or superheroes. Also, Blade was never considered lame. Back in the day, 1992's Nightstalkers was the shit if that was what you wanted. Rise of the Midnight Sons was an awesome arc.

[@EC-ol8nz]

Blade saved Goyers job 😂

[@Geekzilla84]

The Fantastic 4 movie was only made to keep the rights. They never intended on releasing it. Its on KZbin for free.

[@rroberts2023]

Wesley Snipes had the potential to be the highest paid Marvel action actor if he hadn't f**ked around with his tax evasion. Marvel was in deep sh*t before they released Blade.

[@louisbennett7709]

Tell the Acolyte writers at Disney and Leslye Headland that. The lead actress keeps screaming Racism but it really all comes down to having GOOD writers with no agenda to preach WOKE agendas. Damn good Movie

[@Rubrick23.]

Ok, who are you to tell another person how too feel especially on subject matter of race? I can't stand ppl like yus. ... Clearly you have no clue. When the white girl in the force awaken was the wokest star wars. Still made billions. They also where racist to fin character. So yeah.😅

[@JakeForerunner]

I wonder if all this with the new Blade that was supposed to be played by Ali wasn't planned, including Snipes' appearance in Deadpool, to set the stage and for everyone to look forward to the new Blade with Snipes, that this is what the fans want and will be another box office success for Marvel. even if they plotted it all to attract more people to the cinema, it doesn't bother me. just my crazy conspiracy theory :D
