[@Simon_E32]

I said it before but I'll say it again: Blade and a 'Black Panther' vs the vampire KKK is the kind of idea I'd invest everything in.

[@lukeaguilar614]

I really can’t believe that you’ve had a lot of opportunities to say that. I absolutely agree btw

[@andrewjpalla]

And have Disney risk a kkk boycott? Yeah right...

[@shaynesweeney7600]

@andrewjpalla do you think KKK members would watch a Blade movie anyways? Besides I feel like Marvel can live without the KKK demographic, “The KKK is bad actually!” isn’t exactly biting political commentary it’s stating the obvious. Right up marvel’s alley.

[@Aussie27Legend]

lowkey Sinners might basically be this

[@OLDDOGE12]

​@@Aussie27Legend I can see it

[@chrisvossler8795]

I love this pitch for Blade, especially bringing in N'Jobu to show how he came to be radicalized during his mission in America.

[@Guimhj]

"I assure you, there's no vampires in Wakanda." "You're welcome."

[@ronanodonovan3673]

N'JOBU: "Outsider vampires coming to Wakanda? Impossible. It would be like trying to ice skate uphill." BLADE:

[@cbobschloss]

the reason there's a big empty space in the thumbnail is because the production of this video will never be completed, just like the Blade movie 💀

[@burgergud2804]

Bruh you literally typing the same comment twice Lol

[@Fourmath]

The movie is filming next year

[@Alexander-es4mx]

​@@FourmathWe don't know that

[@Fourmath]

@Alexander-es4mx that's what was said last time the movie was in the news

[@ashermorgado2442]

Thar is wild

[@Garanseho]

This was already a perfect 10/10 pitch just based on the plot, and then you mentioned that the three leads are all irl friends with history? And you're giving Njobu backstory?? And you're bringing in Monica freaking Lynne???? Easily 100/10!! Absolutely amazing!!!

[@davidrobinson1737]

“ In front of all these…cops? I’m guessing.” Very very funny line

[@brendenwhittington9088]

historically speaking that is an accurate insult

[@Judeman765]

Honestly I'm gonna be bummed if a line similar to this isn't in the actual movie when it finally comes out

[@banshee25]

I'll say it again: Post credit scene of Ethan Hawke Moon Knight demanding that nerd Dracula to give him his money

[@willmackinnon9397]

You mean Oscar Isaac? Lol

[@aqraa_sagir]

@@willmackinnon9397with this movie pitch being set in the 80s, Moon Knight would still be Ethan Hawke’s character. Khonshu’s previous avatar in the MCU before Marc Spector.

[@acgeewhiz]

And you have gotten a like from me once again, lol.

[@sailordaigurren8225]

Nice meme reference

[@kylecarter1599]

Ethan Hawke isn't Moon Knight

[@casualfanatic4217]

Babe wake up, Nando reuploaded his pitch for Blade

[@qman2061]

Vee pfp W

[@WilliamElliottHinson]

"your welcome" goes so hard nando

[@JenniferMcMahonhawaii78]

Also, make sure it's rated-R - BECAUSE EVERY BLADE FAN KNOWS IT NEEDS TO BE RATED-R! Ps: Great pitch, Nando!

[@mr.iiconic]

Blade movie fans or comic fans? Cause the comics are honestly rarely R rated

[@sometimesComments]

Nando I always love these pitches but this is pure S tier. Blade in Alabama, the Eric name, fixing the continuity errors of previous Marvel products: You have outdone yourself.

[@OtakuJuanma2]

Boy i sure love copyright-caused reuploads.

[@kingpinogaming3366]

This blade pitch dovetails into your midnightsons pitch nicely

[@IcyDiamond]

Marvel: WRITE THAT DOWN! WRITE THAT DOWN!

[@OscarAntonio-t4z]

I still can't get over how cool "Daywalker" is as a nickname

[@JustMasterJay]

Again... Sterling K Brown and Susan Kelechi Watson as a subtle fan cast is GENIUS, they have amazing chemistry on This is Us and already were such an interesting couple in that show

[@Base07]

Cosign all of this. I legit jumped up when he came on. This needs to be brought to life

[@HotDogTimeMachine385]

I can't wait for the flood of people angry that Nando is making Blade "political" and that the KKK are portrayed as villains. Great movie idea, nice adaption of the Black Panther comic btw. Edit: i found two comments crying how it's woke 🤣

[@acgeewhiz]

There was a really decent joking thread about it being woke to dislike vampires and the KKK on the original one.

[@LUMBEEPHENOM2012]

I completely hate the whole woke agenda, but his idea isn’t close to being “woke” lol

[@sleepofgiants5956]

The way you write hypotheticals and use clips from movies hits with my type of neurodivergence

[@thisscreensucks]

Ugh. Why do so many people make their neurodkversity their whole personality.

[@Dimitri-si8fj]

At this point, they NEED to sign you as a lead writer. This concept is literally flawless. I would def watch this Blade film

[@rstollenwerk]

"He goes to ask the living vampire what the blood is for" I seriously had to rewind it thought you were trying to put Morbius into this story XD

[@gotPHONICKS]

You SNAPPED. Best pitch I’ve ever seen. I need this injected into my veins.

[@josh--el]

Vampirism in American Fiction has a long history tied to the Civil War, Civil Rights, and racism generally. It’s an interesting angle to play on that in this pitch, I like it

[@alexhassestunts]

This is such a great idea. Nando, I’m manifesting as hard as I can that someone from Marvel sees your videos and see how talented you are and brings you in. You deserve it.

[@AymarMaluenda]

This pitch is absolute fire, and I'd love Nikolaj Coster-Waldau in the MCU

[@LJ_Callisto]

Great pitch, great cops joke at 13:15

[@gloriouspandemonium7788]

I would prefer if the Sterling K Brown was used more of a cameo for the first fight, and then just let Blade deal with the more supernatural side of the conflict on his own. The connection is fun and definitely appreciated, but the secrecy of vampires and also it just being his first movie, I feel like Blade on his own would work better.

[@rachelknightonline]

I thought I was going crazy seeing this video get snapped out of existence

[@kingmonde]

When was it up?

[@rachelknightonline]

It was up about 2, maybe 3 hrs before the reupload. Was waiting in line in to see Wicked, got out and wanted to finish the video and didn’t see it anywhere in my viewing history or search lol

[@kingmonde]

@@rachelknightonline aaah

[@JustMasterJay]

A real nice post credit scene to this could be Blade's conversation with Dane Whitman that was hinted at the end of Eternals. That movie has so many loose ends that deserve to be tied up(I'm the few people who liked that movie and want it to get its continuation). The convo could also just be a final scene with a time-jump to present day instead, since having two connected post credits would be weird and confusing

[@sailordaigurren8225]

Really liked Eternals. Definitely not the standard MCU movie, which is nice

[@nijahs]

0:11 That’s where you’re wrong Nando. I’m constantly thinking about G’iah being one of the most powerful characters we’ve met in the MCU and they’re going to have to mention her again at some point. If you can pitch G’iah getting reintroduced into the MCU, hats off.

[@NybergCarl]

Idea to fix overpowered G'iah problem: the "Flowers For Algernon" scenario where the character invested with power loses them gradually until becomes weaker than before getting powers.

[@Darksmirk1]

Damn... this sounds so damn good. Your story pitches are made with care, love and joy. We need that again in the MCU.

[@chrisrodriguez2244]

I fkn LOVE this idea. Can the sequel PLEASE be a late 80s movie set in nyc where we get a cinematic version of the city depicted in those great daredevil/spidey/ xmen comics from that era???

[@TherealMatthias1998]

I’d actually love it if Wesley Snipes could be this Blade’s man in the chair

[@harrower7746]

I like it. Kinda like the 90s Flash coming back as Barry’s dad in the CW show

[@gavino299]

That's a great call!

[@k9commander]

We would love it. I don't think Wesley would be up for it.

[@SpiritxEnigma]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@harrower7746 A few more examples: - In an episode of Batman: The Animated Series, we find out Bruce Wayne’s role model as a vigilante was a show he watched as a kid about a hero called “The Gray Ghost.” Simon Trent (the in-universe actor who played the character) was voiced by Adam West from the 60s Batman show. - In The Boys comics, Hugh Campbell’s appearance & character was based on Simon Pegg, then the actor played Hughie’s dad in the TV series. - Donald Glover was the inspiration for Miles Morales when he tweeted a desire to play Spider-Man & wore Spidey pajamas in the Community S2 premiere. In Spider-Man: Homecoming, he played Miles’ uncle-Aaron Davis, then in Across the Spider-Verse, he cameos wearing The Prowler suit (Aaron’s criminal alter ego).

[@radrno7]

What part of "there's only one Blade and there's only ever gonna be one Blade" didn't you get?

[@suto5704]

Everyone should watch Scavengers Reign. It's some of the greatest sci-fi I've seen in a long time

[@interloper5203]

Dude, this is GENIUS

[@acgeewhiz]

Once again: Thanks so much for letting us see these pitches that you make for K.E.V.I.N., and I think this is one of your best. Bravo.

[@joeabosssands2481]

We live in a world where KZbinrs right better scripts then screenwriters

[@TimothyMorigeau]

They need to do Lilith as the main antagonist and lead into Midnight Suns. Black knight needs to be in Blade since they set him up in Eternals. There you go, now make the movie and setup Midnight Suns which we all want. Jennifer Kale is already setup. Have Johnny Blaze show up in Daredevil or something soon so he will be ready. Then have Lilith’s sister I forgot her name. This isn’t hard!

[@clayongayle8870]

Just rewatch his Midnight Suns pitch

[@finessa_hudgens]

I feel like your latest two vids haven’t come across my feed. Yt is so screwy. Big fan keep up the lords work Nando!!!

[@mikeformey960]

Great pitch Nando. Your knowledge and enthusiasm for this universe shows there are awesome stories out there. The way you tie things together is really cool too. Hope the right people see this. You deserve an opportunity, and the recognition. Keep up the AWESOME work!

[@Ralph_ralphster]

I’d love this way more as an actual 6 episode event kinda like peacemaker. It’d work better than the rest of what marvel tried to do with tv.

[@rocksnrolls]

I genuinely would love to see this movie! It'd be a terrifying look at this period of recent history with a badass vampire slaying adventure on top. Though, I'd love if Werewolf by night was hinted at or if he showed up in the end credits or something like that.

[@gavino299]

Dude! Sign me up! This ties in perfectly with Black Panther comics from my childhood and the past/current MCU titles you connected (especially the Eternals hanging Chad of a post credits scene) and it has a totally original storyline we've yet to see anything like in the MCU. This is my favorite of your pitches yet.

[@kingmonde]

Exceptional. Always love your pitches, but this has to be your best.

[@aripocki]

This pitch ticks all the boxes for sure. Love the holy tunnel of love idea so much.

[@maxgerecht835]

this is genuinely your best pitch, such a sick script

[@GrandArchPriestOfTheAlgorithm]

Between Patrick Willems, me and this video, it seems that Blade vs Racist Vampires is the one thing everyone agree on.

[@nanes9914]

Now I’m sad you made this cause it means the movie will not be like this

[@Maurinuus]

only 3 minutes and I'm already sold by Vigo Mortensen being cas as Dracula

[@suto5704]

Same!

[@danbuller9384]

post credit scene- (in 1980) Blade rescues a kid, the kid's name is Whistler

[@bizzybrown5701]

That Captain America line was COLD

[@sailordaigurren8225]

I'd absolutely watch this movie, just like I'd watch pretty much every other thing you've pitched. It's a crime that you haven't gotten hired to actually pitch, write, or script doctor for some movie studio or other.

[@me45116]

Loved the callback to early Black Panther

[@DONQUIIIXOTE]

This would be so fire wow. Ugh I wish marvel actually integrated some of these fan derived pitches that I’ve seen.

[@EvanBlack11]

Brah Black folks would be in that movie line like it's the Club. Blade and a Wakanda connection, we wouldn't know how to act. 😂

[@CaptainR015]

This is the first time I’ve watched this video! Very cool!

[@chubbyblackboi]

Gyaaat daaayyum NANDO!!!! 😤😮‍💨....YOU HAVE COOKED with this one

[@Fabulist]

I like background stuff tying it to the MCU, but I’m not crazy about the plot. Also, the finale’s setting has a been-there feel. The vampire movies Cirque du Freak and The Lost Boys are amusement park adjacent, so you’re going to invite comparisons. Why not have Dracula’s son decide to try his idea out on someplace smaller as a test run? If successful, they can use it as a staging ground. The perfect place exists: Puerto Rico. It hasn’t been in the MCU, and you can bring in Puerto Rico’s resident superhero, White Tiger. PR has dozens of celebrations, but the ideal one is Carnaval Ponceño, which is a weeklong carnival exactly like Mardi Gras, ending on Ash Wednesday. In the 1980s, Ash Wednesday dropped in February 7 times. Surely one of those years fits the Black Panther timeline. That way Blade can get a February release just like Black Panther. As a bonus, there is an obscure one-shot Marvel hero called El Vejigante, who is named after the cartoonish clown-demons vejigantes who are intended to scare people into behaving and going to church. Perfect disguises for a horde of vampires trying to take over the city of Ponce. Having Hector Ayala (White Tiger) don one of those outfits in order to protect his secret identity can get us both White Tiger action and a little Easter egg for Marvel trivia aficionados.

[@bennett4789]

i love how you say these random choices like they are obvious lol

[@dougtricarico8344]

The Cosmic Cube tells me that they are!

[@littleangrybird8]

I was already halfway through the first upload 😂

[@screetchycello]

me too. i was getting into it too lol

[@RandomRamblings86]

Caught the first upload! Great video!

[@LotkaVolterra]

This is really cool, man. I like the pivot you've made to creating scripts from scratch rather than fixing an existing one. It puts your creativity on full display;.

[@dekumaito-ofa358]

I feel like this could be great as a tv series as well as a movie. Investigative scenes tend to work really well in episodic format because it's not rushed by having to get to the big action scenes and can be drawn out.

[@alexandermcbryde2348]

This is the Movie we need to have happen so many current threads tied together so nicely

[@anthonybanks1948]

I wish this lasted an hour

[@jlallenby]

Loved that u used the same couple from This Is Us

[@skrrskrr]

"Cliché"? Blade saying "You're welcome" after someone points out an absence of vampires will never not be the coolest thing.

[@davidbutler3917]

I have that black panther verses the clan comic book. My dad gave it to me

[@EvanBlack11]

Nice. Cool dad

[@colapepsiman9938]

A few things: Why can Nathan Garrett wield the ebony blade? It’s a very important part of its history that he was never able to wield it and it sat in his attic until Dane found it. There is genuinely nothing Nathan Garrett about Nathan Garret despite his spying days being mentioned. No flying horse, no beam lance, nothing. Why is he using magic like he’s some kind of wizard??? Everything about this pitch is great… except for every part involving Black Knight and the ebony blade, and I say this as a huge Black Knight fan.

[@_N4T]

It doesn't necessarily have to match comic persona, but if its not even relatively close they could make a character up for the position - or tie in a random character unrelated to Blade that matches the character

[@terrancehall9762]

This would work as a show...True Detective but vampires. And Mahershala has experience.

[@nuvjoti]

10:11 Captain America reference in the 80s? Are we about to get William Burnside?

[@trehubb6144]

My Pitch: Simply Release the Movie 😅 Seriously though I heard a rumor apparently Disney didn't want any blood in this movie😮. Helluva pitch to wanna direct a violent bloodless vampire movie😭. Hopefully Deadpool & Wolverine changed their minds

[@thatonkgau5221]

I think Luke Evans would be a great pic for Dracula I mean he's done it before.

[@awglasgo]

Nando, this is your best pitch yet. Superb!!!!

[@bil666]

Everything about this is just great. Love the idea of an 80's NYC vibe.

[@lucky112]

think you should switch blade for the original (FOH) Friends of Humanity....making it a group that changes a morphs under the mutant saga

[@jediknight_4798]

I love this pitch! So new and interesting. It hits every point, interesting ideas, ticks all boxes and wraps it up together in a nice big bow. Love it!

[@LTxBagel]

Fast forward to the present, and the children of these clan members form Friends of Humanity.

[@Seasonal-Shadow_4674]

If only Antoni Starr played Dracula

[@acgeewhiz]

Someone (maybe you?) posted this on the original one. And I’m still not mad at that casting…

[@jordanwhite9627]

This might be the best pitch you have ever done, and you have put out some fantastic pitches before

[@joeabosssands2481]

I love getting a random Nandi video at 1 am to watch

[@Eurogerg]

My love for this pitch is profound.

[@suto5704]

I love these pitch videos. They're always a great time

[@TheHeroExodus]

I like that thought. Brooks being kilmonger's namesake

[@mateusgomes1970]

it is such a shame Marvel is not doing this pitch😭

[@FieldofWings24]

Well done Nando. This is a winner.

[@darkeese7732]

I'm just mad because I know they wont do this. Feige needs to give you the keys man

[@braunsonyoung541]

Love the idea of blade sneaking into wakanda to get rid of vampires

[@Carl_KFBF]

I love this. I would love to see Blade be revealed to be Wakandan. Don’t know how that would go over with comic fans but it would be a cool connection. Maybe Blades sword/ weapons are vibranium and vibranium can be effective against the undead?

[@nslater1388]

Nice editing to make it look like a movie.

[@TJTLee]

I think this is my favorite pitch of yours, holy moly.

[@TheGameCupboard]

That sounds great. Really like the BP connections.

[@mvjxxztik6065]

One of the best pitches I’ve come across

[@GiveZeeAChance]

Watched on Nebula. Watching and commenting for engagement!

[@NandovMovies]

My favorite kind of comment. Also Give Zee a chance. Is that referring to Zatanna? Cause they really should.

[@GiveZeeAChance]

​@@NandovMoviesIt does now! Because yes, they should.

[@NATUREBOYP]

I LOVE THE BLACK PANTHER CALL IN WITH BLADE !!! I DIDNT know I needed to see BP and Blade but I NEEED to see it

4:28 "the living vampire" MORBIUS MENTION?????

[@tomullane6619]

this might be your best yet

Awesome pitch, I hope this gets made

[@ultracloudx]

"There are no vampires in Wakanda 🙄 "Youre welcome 😐" LOL

[@spydaboi100]

Yeaaaaaah I dont say this often but you kinda snapped on this

[@AscendedXSaiyan]

Man Marvel *NEED* to hire you!! I'm *ALL IN* on this pitch! I especially love getting a previous Black Knight, you can even have Dane in the post credit scene to set up their eventual team up even further!

[@aaronnix9079]

Super dope!! 🙌
