Kevin Feige says there’s been 4 versions of ‘BLADE’ and they’ve finally decided on a take set in modern day. “We didn’t [just] want to put a leather outfit on him and have him start killing vampires” (Source: Deadline)

Everyone jumping on this, saying they're over complicating, all we want is cool vampire slaying, how many will be on here complaining if a film comes out and that's all it is Me, I want Blade to be the sequel to Sinners, it's all set up perfectly...

I’d argue that putting on leather and killing vampires was one of the things that made Blade an icon of the “early superhero” movie But if we are getting something more in game

Also, I feel there are just 10 songs repeated in every movie. "Thunderstruck", "Je ne regrette rien", "Welcome to the Jungle", "Take on Me" should be forbidden in movies.

This is the kind of thinking that ruined the Star Wars sequel trilogy, Game of Thrones, some of the new Star Trek movies, etc. Maybe less trying to outsmart ‘fan service’ and you know, make the movies people want to see.

They should just give James Wan a pile of money and let him have an R rating. The ONLY way a modern Blade is going to set itself apart from Wesley Snipes is being a legit horror film.

And I'm not being sarcastic with the slavery subject, a great movie already show us how horrific that was: Amistad. But the Marvel and DC brains just can't make a story if not from the earliest beginning! I just watched/loved K-Pop Demon Hunters, they spent 3 minutes in the lore and it was enough!
