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?
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.
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.
The Black Panther was promoted by the media as the first movie about black superheroes, but most black people (genX) remember movies about black superheroes before Blade. Meteor Man (a Marvel superhero) was a movie before Blade, but didn't do too well at the box office. The Black Panther was credited as showing the culture of the African diaspora as something other than what is stereotyped in the media, and addressing social issues. Wesley Snipes tried to get The Black Panther on the silver screen first, but Blade was accepted instead. The fact that the movie Blade was about a superhero was down played in the media in order to attract a wide range of people. Blade had a huge following, not just among graphic novel fans, but from people who just enjoy action and goth themed movies. 🖤🦇🖤🦇
@@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!
@@kevinOBryant1972 Nope, it means people are always trying to do the impossible or near impossible or just setting themselves up for failure, much like ice-skating up-hill.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
That movie made what was considered RIDICULOUS money back then. I remember guys back in 2000-2001 saying The Matrix and Blade were their favorite movies. I didn't know that it saved Marvel and was it's most influential film. Vampires and martial arts action is a winning formula. Probably paved the way for The Underworld films too.
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..
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
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
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.
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.
Blade is one of the best movies of all time. Wesley Snipes charisma nailed it. I can't exactly say how many times I have watched Blade and I might just watch it again. One of my favorite track of all time Mos Def I against I from Blade 2. I wish there were more movies lead by Wesley Snipes as the lead role during that time. He had the potential to do so much more.
I've probably watched all 3 movies at least 20 times each since being a kid. All three are fantastic pieces of cinema. Wesley Snipes is Blade. There is no one else for that role and there never will be.
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.
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🤷♂️
Mad weird how you guys always promote skin color when it has nothing to do with someone actions😂 it’s like you guys only do it cause you want to program people to worship your own skin color and have people looking at you and say “wow😱”
Blade saved Marvel, but now Marvel can't save Blade.
Straight up POETRY
I'm guessing that's why Ryan made the poetic move of asking Wesley to reprise his role in D&W.
FACTS
That’s how it always go!
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?
Wesley Snipes is a great actor.
One of the best yea
His role in demolition man was fantastic aswell
Wesley is awesome!
No ringtone and his cinematography was Amazing.
Sad weirdo Hollywood chased of Norrington for good 😢
Wesley Snipes just made Blade a living legend and the only Marvel movie I can watch over and over.
Same here. There's no movie in the MCU that will EVER match Blade1&2
True. I watch it over and over again since I was six
You ain’t lying. Blade movies and the first 2 iron man movies have never ending rewatch for me
🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
Say it louder. Blade is the ONLY Marvel movie that I’ll gladly rewatch
No blade, no funds for Spiderman, no ambition for Marvel and Disney to make the MCU …
put some respect on my mans name
Facts and don't no one tell you anything didn't
Ikr
FACTS....!!! End of story...!!!
Facts blade singlehandedly saved marvel
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.
You sure? I don't believe that. You're trying to give too much credit to some spook for your SJW points 😆
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.
And he is coming back in theaters 2025
I'm so glad that Wesley Snipes is finally getting his flowers 💐 Thank you for recognizing these facts👍🏿
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!
The only thing they got wrong was Blade being lame. Nightstalkers was considered great before the movie ever happened.
THANK YOU for giving this movie the credit it deserves!!!!

A lot of real Marvel fans were shitty about that, that was just Disney and woke idiots pandering
Plus the fact you had one of the greatest opening sequences of all time. Kick ass fight scene with kick ass music.

I went to see the first Blade 3 times in the cinema when it first came out. This movie is iconic.
It’s him , it’s him. Daywalker !! So epic
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.
Blade was the best snipes made the character look good this movie will never get old
Wesley snipe's is a 6 degree shotokan karate not a common martial arts
It's funny because Ken and Ryu from Street Fighter use Shokotan Karate 😮
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!
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
1 and 2 can. 3 is awful
@@mr.iiconic 3 is still miles better than most of the MCU movies, that's saying something. 😂😂😂
@@theoutlawking9123 disagree.
@@mr.iiconic Your problem, because apart from the "On Set" drama, I see nothing wrong with that movie.

Many say...........thats a fact. Wesley Snipes saved Marvel and made movies like Spiderman, Thor, Iron Man, and The Avengers possible
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.
You have him mixed up with Tom Holland. He is 5'7 Wesley's 5'9
@@josephalvarez7315 yeah I’m probably looking from warped views I’m 6 ft3 . Lol 😂 I want all heroes my height or bigger
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.
Plus he a really trained in the arts
Wesley Snipes is actually a black belt and he's actually a doctor
Blade in the comics was never a lame character. It's debut on the silver screen was well deserved.
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 😅😂😊
You got to watch out for them uphill ice skaters
😂
Ha-ha 😅😊
Some mother fuckers are still trying to ice skate up hill.
Just watched Blade last night again for the first time in ages due to... well, if you know you know.
It aged so well
They should’ve given us FIVE more movies with Wesley snipes as Blade frfr
The greatest vampire movie ever!
Hands down
I must have watched every single vampire movie and Blade is the greatest one. In second place is Dusk to Dawn.
Also got to put the lost boys in there
@@serene1275 I would say Underworld as the 2nd best.
Someone watched several thousand vampire movies???
Blade has a cult following even now and they need Wesley Snipes, he is Blade like Arnold Schwarzenegger is terminator period...
Blade 2 is my favorite
I Concur ,Mr.Snipes is indeed a Great actor.
Blade is by far one of their best movies. I have seen them so many times
Blade 1 & 2 are still some of my favorite movies!
Blade changed the game for MCU movies to succeed the way they are now.
Blade also used bullet time before the matrix!
I love “Blade”
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.
The King of Marvel, yet they are doing their King dirty. Blade probably regrets saving them.
That was the only marvel movie I went to the theaters to see.
Great Wensley Snipes is back as BLADE the only one!
ICON - Well done Marvel 👏👏👏
DC “blade? Ready to die?”
Marvel “I was born ready mutha Fuqua”
There’s only been one blade there’s only ever gonna be one blade 😎
Of course because of Wesley❤😊
Wesley Snipes has the character and charisma nobody have 🥰 Wesley Snipes is unique ❤🎉
I’ve never even heard of Blade. Except some thing like he’s a vampire hunter. *NOW, MARVEL’s AVENGERS: ENDGAME….*
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.
The first time I seen this movie me and my cousin and my friend went seen blade it was exciting and awesome
I literally said this to my wife, Blade is the real hero of the marvel brand.
Blade has never been lame, he's always been a badass.

Wesley Snipes Blade and Dwayne Johnson Black Adam are the only comic book movies I care about.
Go Wesley ,
I mean Blade !
And there`s only ever gonna be one Blade...
Everyone should go watch the original Blade Trilogy or at least the first two movies.
My g Wesley getting shine facts bout time
Yeah & that 1st Blade was off the chain 👊🏾✌🏾
Better give Wesley his due!!
Blade's Sword had a fingerprint detector
Wesley is martial artist no one can match he's action as blade
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..
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
Hell yeah love blade snopes is the best
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
Re-release in theatres?🤔🤔🤔

I remember watching demolition man and completely forgetting Stallone was in that movie.
There's only been one Blade...only one... Wesley Snipes said sooo
Blade is just the coolest of all marvel!
They were about to sell off everything, they already sold SpiderMan and Xmen.
Blade was never a lame character.
Wesley Snipes....living legend, beautiful skin, great actor, resilient. 💯🎉💪🏾👏🏾👏🏾😎✊🏾💫
Mad weird how you guys always promote skin color when it has nothing to do with someone actions😂 it’s like you guys only do it cause you want to program people to worship your own skin color and have people looking at you and say “wow😱”
