This could actually be kino, specially if Goose really does play Ghost Rider.
It might redeem the MCU by subletting it out to a better genre.
I fricking loved those HBO Max Justice League Dark movies and it's sad that WB fricked up their DC plans so bad.
A proper John Constantine would have kicked ass.
I would have started with
>Batman: Hell Night
Where you have a Lazarus pit Al Ghul driving plot, but it's this:
1) Brief Man-Bat vignette that continues sporadically through the "night" unrelated
2) Chasing Al Ghul, but getting sidetracked by Azrael
3) Lazarus pit is shut, Ra's is gone. Joker was resurrected.
4) Azrael team up for first second act conclusion: it's not Joker, it's reborn Black Mask fricking with him. He found an occult relic to extend his life and power
5) Jason Blood (introduced earlier) teams up and he, Batman, Azrael, and surprise interruption by Man-Bat team up to defeat Black Mask
THEN
>Swamp-Thing and Man-Bat
Man-Bat is the protagonist, seeking a cure for his condition. He gets roped into Swamp-Thing's war against some voodoo shit and it ends with a John Constantine cameo
>Constantine's War
John Constantine shit, featuring Jason Blood and Zatanna
>Justice League Dark
Batman reaches out to Zatanna, the reluctantly re-team up with Jason Blood, and Swamp Thing, Man-Bat and Constantine join.
Takes place in Gotham, New Orleans, London and then a hidden Arabian necropolis.
Also in JL:Dark Batman uses "practical" tools of the fighting undead "spook" trade.
Iron filings, salt, hex seals, different cursed objects and voodoo dolls he acquired and studied. He even has a ghost tank at the batcave.
So while the others have magic or supernatural power, Batman is an extremely competent ghost hunter with a variety of tools that allow a mortal man to prevail against the supernatural and undead. To the point of freaking everyone out when he successfully binds then banishes a major demon.
Ghost Rider will be Robbie Reyes or a girl ghost rider, guaranteed. The movie already has too many white dudes. You know this.
yeah but goose said he wants to do it so feige would be pretty dumb to turn him down
It would be especially amazing if they didnt even bother going with Johnny Blaze and decided to make him Handsome Luke from The Place Beyond The Pines. After Luke falls to his death he arrives in hell and Mephisto, impressed by bank robbing skills, orders him to travel to MCU universe and steal somebodys soul or something. Idfk
Gothchads... we eatin' good
fuuuuuuuuck i hate this b***h
she's a good girl
Nothing will top the bloody breastfeed scene in Infinity Pool, at this point her career is in post credits
Sounds like garbage
They had to call in the entire brain trust to figure out Blade should fight vampires? Wow.
He always did, but previous scripts had bigger connections to the MCU magic lore, like the Ebony Blade being a macguffin. Now it seems like it's just "vampires start shit, Blade kills them."
Nah previous scripts had him in the backseat in his own movie, and the period shit was supposed to fill in some drama bullshit because Ali is an ACTOR who doesn’t just say he wants to “kill some suckheads”.
Blade was a success before the mcu existed. The formula ain’t that fricking complicated.
Ali ends up being incredibly miscast, will be too old to do any stunt work, so it’s hello to bad CGI and smash cut stunt people being awkward.
>Nah previous scripts had him in the backseat in his own movie
This has been disproven by the writer himself.
>The writer is going to admit their earlier scripts were woke.
You guys just have confirmation bias. We've had leaks about what the script was.
And you believed him?
When they revealed the Blade game it had so many warning signs. Specifically also being a period piece, set in France and narrative driven
>Sets up a Midnight Sons movie where Blade will team up with Doctor Strange, Moon Knight, Ghost Rider and others.
And with that I'm out. I'm not watching a shitty blade film that exists just to set up more pg13 shit I dont care about with a bunch of no names.
It could be potentially fun especially if they go with the more 90s mindset where Blades hatred of magic and the supernatural ultimately causes him to use the dark hold to try and kill everything supernatural including his teammates
I miss the time when Snipes haven't sold his soul to MCU and actually did soulful kino in Romania
Did they drop Blade's daughter?
No.
>Mia Goth plays the main villain Lilith
Jesus fricking christ. She can't act! She's terrible. Not even in your typical Hollywood way like Sydney Sweeney or even Nicola Peltz. But in a parody of Nicholas Cage sort of way where every line is horrendous and in your face and distracting and without any of Cage's charisma.
WHO KEEPS HIRING HER?
me
Cool. I'm never gonna watch this. Never ever ever.
we should be on Blade 2 by now with how much time they wasted
No Snipes, no watch
blade get daughter
This nerd looks like he should be slinging papers and sucking dicks, not butchering thousands of vampires. Bring back Wesley.
>main villain Lilith,
lmao. so the plot of one of the abandoned masquerade games?
>some gay ass videogame from decades ago invented lillith the vampire
cain got a dumpy
Why do (they) keep forcing Lilith as a villain?
She's a cool villain.
> Period setting.
This sounds interesting...
> Now just a one-note modern quip-infested setting.
No longer interested.
>interesting
Is was literally about women's rights and Blade was the 5th main character.
This will be shit and gay or zesty and mid as the homosexuals say nowadays
that is not Blade at all
also it sounds really terrible
original Blade saved marvel now modern blade will kill it
Blade is now female
