Good. Nobody wants to see Blade in 1920s New Orleans. Muh racism. 90s, raves, Blade kicking night club ass with industrial music.

They've gone through, what, 5 writers now?
I don’t give a frick about PG-13 Blade
>PG-13 Blade
box office results indicate PG-13 isn't broad enough anymore so action movies should all aspire for a G rating to maximize potential viewer base
Blade was the only good capeshit made, they are going to ruin it aren't they?
Snipes never once felt like a diversity hire, he was always solid in multiple roles.
Blade was made before Hollywood went woke. If it was made today Blade would be a lightskinned ftm troony.
Mahershala Ali is a great actor. Sarah Gadon even thinks very highly of him. She even said the reason she auditioned for True Detective was to work with Mahershala Ali because she thinks very highly of him and his acting talent.
>"I’m really excited because this is the first show that Mahershala Ali has ever carried. Maybe people don’t realize that because he’s a successful Oscar winner, but this is his piece. One of the reasons I took the job was to watch someone like him work. Everyone I know who has worked with him said he is so wonderful. He’s such an incredible actor and he’s also my favourite kind of actor: He’s not an overnight sensation; he’s been a working actor for so long and he’s having this beautiful, entirely deserved moment. Watching him work was so great for me."
Mahershala Ali can suck my dick i am so sick of hearing people sing his praise
being a good actor automatically makes you good for every role. I only wish they'd cast morgan freeman instead.
this image screams YOU JUST KNOW
Probably why they threw him in jail, while every other HW type is up to their ears in tax evasion schemes. They needed to sever the continuity of "acceptable casting" between current year and anything that originated before. And Blade was always their big problem, because it undercut the "importance" of Black Panther being a movies that was somehow resetting historical wrongs.
"First Black Superhero" my ass.
Same with Black Doctor Who. Fans have been campaigning for Patterson Joseph to get the part since before even the reboot happened because he was so good in Neverwhere, but the BBC evaded it at every turn (cast him in the very first story as a minor side character) until they could find someone who was an embodiment of the activist agenda, not just "some black guy who'd be good for the part".
ie: Anything acceptable to the "old, white" audience is verboten (anything they would consider a "race/gender/orientation-blind" choice).
I'll get shit about this but frick Cinemaphile, Ali was kino in Luke Cage.
cringe
Ali is good, but he's way too fricking old to be playing blade
Auh, p'shaw! Blah-day would cut tru dem france vammira like dat plate a' hot goombo!!
>I need to save dem keeds *pulls out katana*
TOLD YA!
did Cinemaphile screenshot my posts like I asked?
ok if not, I called it forever ago (wasn't the casting, that's part of it, but the storyline sucked - they brought in a white actress/character just because the cast was too black)
this motherfricker is literally 50 years old. hire a 30 year old tops and get some good fricking writers in there.
Think of "Avengers Secret Wars" as the cutoff point. The nexus. The final frontier.
Every project is getting pushed out, but this is the worst time for Blade to reboot everything. Marvel has completed projects looking for release dates. Ironheart got pushed out 2 years to 2025.
I don't think there's a future where Blade gets its shit together and gets made before Secret Wars (reboot) happens. And yeah, a 50 year actor with zero clout, that's a dead end. Blade doesn't even fit into the MCU right now.
It's over.
Ali is like 50. Just being Snipes back. He’s only 10 years older
blade gonna rescue dem kids
What is this meme?
watch td season 3 and find ut what happen dem kiedz
Ha, okay, thanks
I thought the nu-Blade script was about saving kids, basically a rip off of Dolph Lundgren's "Punisher". The best way to get people to like a character they've been raised to hate, is to have them save kids.
