#Blade #WesleySnipes #reaction
Guys, it was the 90's... Everybody watched everything. ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRBody watched this movie. Race wasn't a factor. He was cool. He was a badass. He was a vampire. That's all anybody cared about. Plus, once people heard about the iconic opening club scene....
Yeah. And what you cant understand today, because the style is so copied now, is how much the action blew us away back then. Apart from the bad blood monster thing in the end i loved this movie and blade was the black batman for me. And i was a white boy from germany.
Race is only a factor for racists ... and sadly "the BLACK community" has been indoctrinated into racism.
Fact's I'm white we watched whatever was good on tv it didn't matter the color of someone.
I miss the 90s 😢
That hasn't stopped being the case. Millions of white people watched Black Panther. Some media outlets maybe tried to put out the idea that "white people won't watch a movie with a black hero, or with a mostly black cast" but that is just not true. Media orgs do try to stir up controversy though, to generate more engagement and make them more money, so I guess that is where the the idea that whites won't watch a movie with a black main character came from, but it's just nonsense.
Fun fact. Wesley was so fast during the fight scenes- the camera couldn't film the scenes so they had to ask him to slow down. Peak physical power 👏🏻
Let me *cough cough* chime in for a moment or two.
You're correct about his natural speed and reflexes with a machine and programming not seeing his movements ..
That's exactly why film production s many years later developed the "phantom camera" and 15_years later afterwards the "hyperspectral" cameras that has over 3000_mega pixels to capture every deca-second..
That was Bruce Lee, but Wesley Snipes has been training in Martial Arts since he was 12 years old.☯️
I think you're confusing this with Bruce Lee... Not discounting Wesley Snipes fight capability play Bruce Lee was one of the only artists that they had to slow the action scenes down for
@@Bassclaiborne0311Nope! Look it up. During demolition man his fight scenes were so fast he was blurry during filming. Guy started martial arts at 12. 5th degree black belt in one discipline and 2ne degree black belt in another.
@@agentsuperargo5023Nope! Look it up. During demolition man his fight scenes were so fast he was blurry during filming. Guy started martial arts at 12. 5th degree black belt in one discipline and 2ne degree black belt in another.
Coldest line in the movie..."Some MF's always trying to ice skate uphill. lol
oh this one "i was born ready MFER!!!"
Can you blush
What made this movie resonate with crowds of all races, was the fact that this was the first Marvel HERO/SUPERHERO (Guess I have to specify) movie before X-Men in 2000. Some people consider Spider Man (2002) to be the first breakthrough. But I remember Blade having a really big impact.
Technically, Howard the Duck was the first Marvel movie, but there's a reason few people remember it.
yall talking like blade is black afro american lol. hes vampire or dhamphire like rayne from blood rayne(half vampire)first off,secondly hes british than his mother happens to be afro descend. you wanna talk about someone that black afro american and is anti-hero look at spawn(and he was a cop too)
@danhelphrey6260 Yeah, Howard the duck was considered one of the worst movies ever made.
@@danhelphrey6260 Yeah I'm thankful to have never watched it.
@@danhelphrey6260, overall it sucked!!!!! But it was so entertaining in the 80's!!!!
Blade was the first rated R marvel movie. Blade saved Marvel. If Blade tanked at the box office, there wouldn't have been a marvel universe.
Snipes is an actual expert in martial arts eith black belts in several different martial arts. He was perfect for the role.
Pretty sure he'd lose that fight they were talking about though. Micheal Jai White is just as experienced and if I'm not mistaken, alot bigger than Snipes.
@@biggt0820 and faster too, michael would throw and high front kick snipes through a brick wall lol
I was looking for this comment. Agreed about the Marvel thing!
Wesley Snipes will always be Blade.
no one can fill his shoes.
I don't understand casting Mahershala Ali as the new Blade, considering he's 50 years old. I assume they are going for an older Blade that will 'pass the torch' to someone younger; in which case why not just hire back Snipes who is only 10 years older.
Mahershala Ali
@@moisesBTWUh huh!
Damn straight.
You're right about the fact that Blade seemed pumped up after feeding off the lady because he usually drinks serum and not actual blood. The real thing hits differently. Great observation!
he drinks "animal plasma" like the cullens from twilight>" from time time but never human blood..
Blade is legit one of my favorite movies. I was like 5 the first time I watched it, and it shaped my style and aesthetic from that day on! I love the gothic/alternative/streetwear fashion!!
Whatever it is or isn't, this movie SAVED marvel. All marvel has now is thanks to blade. Had blade failed then, marvel would've been finished , bankrupt. It was on the verge of it before blade.
The best thing Marvel did was not have a hand in films 1 or 2. They wanted nothing to do with Blade, and that is also seen with the comic books. The movie brought Blade back to life for Marvel.
In my honest opinion blade will always be a classic and this movie did save marvel from total bankruptcy long ago because before blade marvel was on the verge of going out of business for good until blade came out in the late 90s. I also recommend watching the second one but the 3rd one was ok but mainly trash. I'm glad you both watched the first blade and I hope you both watch the second one too. Take care and have a good weekend.
If you guys had stopped talking for a second you would've heard that Decan is the vampire who bit his mom, and was therefore the reason Blade became a daywalker. She 'died' and became a vampire and has been living with Decan ever since.
Yea those two neo fem-males fashion critics too busy cracking yuk yuk knucklehead jokes and yammering on about themselves and "back in the day" as if they know. 🤣😂I cut out before even getting to half point ..very poor reaction 👎
I was thinking the same thing lol
Yup, not just that Frost was performing a part of the blood god ritual during the time as well which is why blade exists and the other vamps haven't been able to replicate another daywalker. Hence why his blood was needed in the end for the la magra ritual.
All kinds of attitude in that first sentence
Aight you can chill with that first sentence now ✋😭🤚
How Dare Ya'll insult Blade's haircut! lol
Blade's car is a 1968 Dodge Charger. The General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard was a 69 Charger. They're also used a lot in the Fast and Furious movies. The Batman's Batmobile is a combo of a Charger, an Chevy Impala and a Ford Barracuda.
“All them finna enter your behind?!”
Pause 😂😂🤣
I'm kinda upset neither of them capitalized off that joke. lol
It was RIGHT THERE!😂
Fun Fact: Donal Logue, who was made a crispy vampire at the beginning of the film after Blade set him on fire, got his jaw dislocated during the fight scene in the morgue by the actress in the lab coat and was rushed to the emergency room where the real ER doctors thought he had sustained horrific injuries from a fire and were about to treat him as such because the make-up was so good. Because he couldn't speak on account of his jaw being dislocated, a crew member had to frantically explain it was JUST make-up and that he was actually there for his jaw.
Blade was an all around hit. Everyone I know went wild for the whole trilogy. Cult movie status
As a 50 something white guy, this movie was absolutely balls out amazing when it came out. Snipes really stood out as an action hero at the time as I don't recall seeing too much crossover martial arts / shootout types. Blast from the past watching you guys react to this, thanks for the memories!
Max Brooks, the man who wrote the book World War Z (not the movie it was un-based on), also wrote a comic where there was a zombie apocalypse in a world where there were also vampires. The vampires didn't care cause the zombies ignored them, until they realized all their food was disappearing. Then they had to fight the zombies.
I have been WAITING for a Zombie vs Vampire film!!!!
You have to watch the second. It’s even better than the first.
And his hairstyle was fire, back in the day. Stylized short Gumbie. You saw it everywhere.
Hairstyle was PERFECT! Ain't no need for a fade and sure as hell no braids or rows...hell no!! Not back in our era. They kept his whole style on point. This was the true start to Marvel. Wesley Snipes earned his flowers long before Black Panther.
@@tobindaily9961they had cornrows in the 90’s 💀
@@LucidKay9114he said cornrows with blades haircut. learn to read.
Blade was the revelation that movies could become the new media for all the cartoons and comics.
After Blade we saw many pop ups: X-men (3 movies), very bad fantasic four (2 movies), we saw Hulk (2003), Punisher (2004). Hell we even got Ben Affleck as Daredevil in 2003. Sony also came out with the Tobey McGuire Spider man.
It wasn't until Iron Man (2008) that Marvel had figured out the correct formula - But Blade was the first one to do it right :D
Apparently Marvel has forgotten the formula again...
Wouldn't really put it all down to Blade - although it certainly had impact when DC dropped the ball.
The 80's & 90's were full of comic book / super hero films - the 80's ones were largely forgettable but big mainstream success came with the shift towards darker comic book adaptions starting with Tim Burtons Batman & Batman Returns in the early 90's - followed by a darker take on the Ninja Turtles than many would have expected from the cartoon, although not the comics themselves (resulting in 2 sequels) - also had the adult targeted Crow adaption in 94 (which also ended up with several sequels and a spin off TV series).
By mid-90's there was a bit of a lull with comic book adaptions at the box office after this early boom, with cheap cash ins or films that disregarded key elements of the source material (like Judge Dread taking off his helmet in 95, and the poorly received Spawn in 97) but the first Marvel property to hit big was actually Men In Black (also in 97 - and a hit despite itself taking certain liberties with the source material) - a year before Blade, and only Marvel following a buy out, rather than a Marvel original property.
Blade then followed up by going firmly after the audience that would have been in their early teens for the 2 Tim Burton Batman films, who were now 18+ by 98 and had been turned off by the tonal shift that series took with Batman Forever and Batman & Robin (which had gone back to the campier tone similar to the 60's TV show - possibly they had been inspired by the success of the Mask, which came out in 94 and was pretty huge after selling itself as an out and out comedy film & downplaying it's comic book origins - and had hoped to capture that audience while keeping the audience that Tim Burton had cultivated with his films - but if so it didn't work) - so it's not really much of a surprise Blade did well, because it delivered what that age group wanted / expected given the tone of the comic book films they had grown up with, and what they weren't getting elsewhere.
And it was really the back to back success of these films (Men in Black in 97 and Blade in 98), while DC floundered with Batman & Robin in 97, that set up Marvel properties for even greater success with X-men & Spiderman a few years later - those 2 hits just as DC lost its way certainly got the big film studios interested in picking up other Marvel licences when they saw an opportunity to pull in the audience DC had somehow lost - and which those 2 successes had shown Marvel properties could do.
Saying that, sometimes overlooked is the extent of Blades cultural impact beyond comic book adaptions - it did help lay the ground work for the early 2000's superhero / comic book film boom but also inspired something of a Vampire film boom a bit later - Underworld and BloodRayne series both starting around the time of Blade 3 and various elements of lore / world building in those franchises are not a million miles away from what you had in Blade - not to mention the look of the films / main character drawing a direct line through to the Matrix in 99 (trench coats, shades, guns, supernatural strength & speed - including bullet dodges - all combined with martial arts close combat fighting).
Blade was the right film at the right time - if DC had kept Batman on the same path as the early 90's films, maybe Blade would have found it more difficult to stand out and wouldn't have had a disenfranchised early adult audience out looking for something new - and maybe the studios that bought up the Marvel properties wouldn't have been so willing to pay what they did to effectively keep Marvel afloat, if they didn't see opportunities to cash in on the audience DC seemed no longer willing to cater to after building it up in the first place.
Spot on assessment 👍
@@M-E_123 The comment is referencing the marvel universe not the DC universe. They are completely spot on.
I can't stop thinking of Wesley as Nino Brown from New Jack City. "Am I my brothers keeper?"
Facts! That character is hard to forget. I saw that on the big screen when it hit the theaters. Snipes is an amazing actor.
“Cancel that B I’ll buy another one” rent free 😂
@@shania991 💯🤘
Yeooo even back then he was a martial arts expert-- he was just didn’t use it in his career yet. He’s been a martial artist since his early teen years. When he was in all of his early roles in the 80(including auditioning for the main role in Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon), he was already a proficient martial artist.
Lol neve same to mind watching blade lmao
Every race can agree the opening scene is goated
The intro to this movie is my favorite intro to any film I've ever watched. Absolutely flawness. Intriguing, cool, strong, menacing, dark, crude, this movie has everything. The dialogue is insane, funny, well thought out, with the right amount of edge, the pacing it's crazy as hell, it doesn't give you a second to wonder or to question it, it's a movie that absorbs your attention completely and doesn't let you go but doesn't overload you with information. The filming is top notch, the techniques were very new at that time, the characters are simple and straightforward, everything works, it's chromatically amazing, the lighting is amazing, and, the cherry on the top, Wesley totally owned this role. It's so good that it feels like a documentary instead of an actual action film, a 101 guide on how to kill vampires. One of the best films of all time.
I can't speak to a black cultural perspective, so as a white woman Blade was and is a top notch vampire series for me with standout atmosphere, story, action, and characters. I grew up in a time and place where the ideology was "color doesn't matter" compared to the more recent "ignoring color is racist". Interested to see the next wave of "correct think" that will be given unto us in the coming years. Regardless, I love, love Blade and am so excited for this reaction. 🗡️
Same. I watched this movie so many times in high school back in the 90s!
Race is really no important folks, Wake up
Only in America for the rest of the world was whatever..it was Wesley Snipes.
@@bozjidar1720 when it came out where I was in America it was also just whatever..because Wesley. 😘
I grew up in 90s where you were told not to see color, that it's actions that define us. So I truly don't understand this new take on race, it's very weird. I always loved this movie and blade is in my top 5 heros. I also loved static shock as a kid and would like to see him get a movie or show.
The old white guy is playesd by Kris Kristofferson, who is best known as a songwriter - his real life-story could be a superhero backstory.
Whistler raised Blade. That was his daddy. Killing him was Decan's death-line.
This movie never gave me the black film, but more of a Wesley Snipes, fighting, hero, and vampires movie! It is obviously for every audience! I never thought about its relevance in the black culture, but thank you for bringing that new understanding to me!
I was 14 when this movie came out. This was all anyone brown talked about for half a year. ALSO PLEASE WATCH THE PLAYERS CLUB. I wouldn't hate a Cultural Classics playlist >.>
I think you guys are right about it being both especially once you mentioned his style. The hair and how he carried himself was definitely "alpha black man". Being a Black male preteen back then, every black male teen I knew wanted to look as cool as Blade and wanted to imitate his persona. That year's Halloween was crazy. But growing up in the 90s, having such a big star play Blade was huge for me. He was my Black Panther if that makes sense. I was still a kid when this came out so I knew of Wesley Snipes by name recognition only. Blade made me start to watch his other movies and become more familiar with him. Also please react to Blade 2.
What's funny is I don't think anyone expected Blade to do as well as it did. Snipes, Marvel,and New Line were really taking a chance and a huge risk making this movie. Especially with it being R rated.
It’s funny u say that he was ur black panther bc I saw a video about this movie that said Wesley only did Blade bc he originally wanted to make, produce and star in a movie for Black Panther but companies/studios rejected that idea thinking it wouldn’t do well so he did Blade as an alternative
The first time I saw Blade was in college. I grew up in a relatively conservative environment. Let's just say it was an eye-opening experience. I've loved it since.
Blade is the first marvel hero on screen i think. He kicked off mcu before it was even a thing. This movie is so dope. Snipes is perfect for this role
When a person gets turned they die and when they come back as a vampire they no longer have a soul , even though they have the same memories they are not the same person anymore. So, in life she was Blades mother in un-death she was just an evil soulless vampire with Vanessa Brookes' memories.
I agree that Blade is both a staple in Black film and a staple for occult films. Late 90s into early 2000s, saw an increased interest in vampire, werewolf, and witchcraft. This film not only came during the highlight of that niche, but it starred one of Black Hollywood's beloved movie stars - Wesley Snipes. Growing up, my siblings watched the Blade trilogy all the time. I was a scaredy cat (literally 3-4 when this came out), so I blocked out a lot of the movies. It's been years since I've watched any of the films, so I'm finally giving it a proper rewatch with you all
Edit: I'm with Brandon lol Was not supposed to have seen any of these movies when they came out
There was an increased interest in vampires, werewolves, witches, warlocks and monsters during the late 1950s through the 1980s tons of movies. 2000s was just continuing the trend by putting a new spin on it...due to writers like Anne Rice (Interview With The Vampire), Stephanie Myers (Twilight), Stephen King, Movie producers revisiting Bram Stokers Dracula, others updating The Wolfman, Frankenstein, etc.
No one really cared whether it was black or not. Blade was just an awesome movie with an awesome character that people around the world loved and still do to this day. There were other movies with black characters as well. As long as the movies were good, people would watch them regardless of the skin the characters had. Now everything is about what shade someone's skin is and what percentage of races there are and what forced message they want to shove down people's throats...
@Pumpkin0_0 This is a very dismissive reply, which contradicts statements from people who worked in the industry during that time (Halle Berry, Denzel Washington, Samuel Jackson, etc.). Two things can be true at once. There were definitely Marvel fans, occult fans, action/thriller fans, and fans who were excited to see a Black lead - Wesley Snipes, at that - who all made this movie a box-office success
@dunbarf2413 I stand corrected. Either way, it's still a classic because of the popularity of vampire flicks at the time of its release. Snipes' star power also broadened the target audience of the movie
Whistler DID teach Blade all that. He wasn't always old and sick.
Exactly
"How is it perfectly fitted for him?" ARE YOU GUYS NOT LISTENING AT ALL? IT. WAS. MADE. FOR. HIM! He's literally the only one they could use for this. Nearly every single question you guys ask, is answered at some point, but you're talking over it.
Exactly. I didn't have to say it because you took the words right out of my mouth. And Sanaa is STILL badder than most of the women in Hollywood today. These guys are still young though.
I think sometimes people think that because it's a reaction video, they have to comment on or react to every single thing in the movie. But they're missing out on lines that give relavant information in the movie when they do that.😅
It was the first Marvel Movie and produced by the former CEO of Marvel. It also influenced The Matrix with some of the special effects. Blade is what convinced Marvel that a Superhero Franchise was viable commercially
It was a big deal for us to have Blade.
Also, this wasn’t the first Marvel movie but it was the first successful Marvel movie based off a comic character.
Most of us had no idea about Blade and didn’t care about Vampires.
I think that honor may go to Conan the Barbarian staring Arnold. I could be mistaken though.
Blade was so ruthless. My Dad couldn't care less about comics but loved this movie just because the fight scenes are a masterpiece. Nobody moves like Wesley Snipes.
He's not a deacon in a church, Deacon is also a name. First name Deacon, last name Frost.
20:47 "what did he do to him?"
I think he kicked the guy's foot forward at the same time he pulled his shoulder back. If you watch closely, you can see Wesley's hip twitch with the motion of that slight kick.
I need yall to pay attention 😂 start pausing. He didnt finish him off because the cops were coming lol Thats why when he showed up at the hospital he said I came to finish you off but then the cops started shooting him and not the other guy. I love yall commentary but start pausing to talk cause yall miss a lot of moments and dialogue.
Cause yall missed that Frost is the person that attacked him mom when Blade was in her womb and he's the reason she turned and Blade is a Daywalker. Also vamps dont have souls, they wont act normal at all 😂 yall a mess and that's why I subbed awhile ago 😂
Also I got Wesley in that fight. Wesley sick wit it. In his prime he'd mop Michael Jai White. Thats not to say he aint cold but Wesley a beast..
(At 10:15) apparently there was a scene where Quinn, played by Donal Logue (the part where he was born to a crisp), accidentally dislocated his jaw I think it was when he felt face first.
This movie was the shit! As a 55 year old white woman I can say I always loved Wesley snipes but this was a Movie EVERYONE LOVED! The opening scene had everyone running g to the theaters to see it. I will never forget the first time I watched this movie the cinematography was groundbreaking. I don’t know one person who did not see this movie back in the day. I cannot wait to watch this reaction.
MY FAVORITE MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!! There is no cooler hero than Blade no one was more badass and I think it’s both I always loved Wesley Snipes and I thought and still think was the BEST superhero movie ever.
I’m a white American born in 1996, and this was my first “superhero” movie, and still one of my favorite blade is just strait up badass, and they need more rated R superhero movies.
Movie fact about the opening scene: there was a pretty big lawsuit because some of the extras had allergic reactions to the fake blood that was used. Essentially it was used too often which was violating the directions.
Blade and Underworld are staple Vampire movies to me.
Im old white woman so can't speak on your first topic I like whatever movies I don't even think about Oh well I'm white I can't watch this or that I can only watch this or that like you said find what you like explore all kinds movies are thrown out to the void for all to experience ✌️😊👍
Yall should absolutely watch Players Club lmao 🤣
Foam parties were huge at that time. So the blood party was a great gimmick.
There is a deleted scene that shows Deacon was setting up warehouses where people were being kept in medical comas that would serve as blood farms. That's how he was planning on feeding all the vampires if his plan worked.
Blade was our teenagers Black Panther or Black Lightning. I grew up in a mixed neighborhood and all the teenage boys loved Blade.
I rewatch these every year! I didn't even know it was Marvel...I love all three movies!
Note: Blade was black in the comic in Marvel's tomb of Dracula. Definitely not a race swap thing like they are doing now with Marvel and DC comic book films. Originally, they were trying to make a Black Panther film back with Wesley Snipes, but that never came to be until the late 2010s with the late Chadwick Boseman playing the Black Panther instead. Add don't forget about the movie Spawn based off another comic book character who was a black man made famous by Michael Jai White, who just like Wesley Snipes, was trained in martial arts.
I am an asian. But for me Blade is one of the best action movie, best marvel movie and Wesley Snipes is one of the best action actor especially in Blade 😊
I'm Asian and I watched Blade as a baby. this movie is so good
Blade is a classic for all 80s GEN. In 1998 he litterally broke the superhero industry !^^
I'm 38 and white. I watched all the Blades when they came out! Snipes was a bad ass! Daywalker for life!!
Somewhere around 40:00 “what y’all gonna eat”
Cue the movie “Daywalkers” such an underrated vampire movie.
Blade is an all time favorite of mine. I'll never get tired of the Wesley Snipes Blade movies
Saw it back when it came out in 1998. Snipes was such an action staple back then, it never crossed my mind that it was styled to appeal to a black audience. Absolute classic.
Yesss Blade. I used to watch it with my dad. Wesley was so dang fine.
Blade was everything when it first came out. Marvel movies were a joke before this. You guys should watch Under series next. It’s the best vampire series to date.
You mean Underworld? Back when strong female characters made sense.
am an old white man and this was one of my favorite movies as a teen.
As a white woman who saw parts of this movie when i was far too young to see this movie, I remember the 90s as being a “raceless” time. Blade was f***ing awesome. My brother loved this movie, hence how I saw some of this movie. No matter the race of this badass, it was amazing. This movie has a lot of the horror elements in it that vampire movies need. But it’s still a marvel movie… which is insane. I love the actual storyline and the action is top notch. Wesley Snipes is Blade.
"Raceless"! lol. The Philadelphia bombing and then Detroit in the 90s.
Only white people (myself included) were under the delusion that the 90s (or any other decade) were "raceless".
Just started seeing your guys content love it. And Blade is definitely not just one culture. They made three because the first two were hits and the first one was absolutely amazing. Hope you enjoyed.
Blade was definitely a cultural phenomenon. As a Mexican American, my brothers and I love and cherished this movie growing up. We loved the supernatural movies, with badass fighting sequences. We felt it had many of the same cultural elements we saw in our lives, plus on top of that he’s such a fckn badass. We grow up in similar ways. We grew up idolizing films like this. “Spawn” came out in 1997 the year before Blade (1998) and we were just as obsessed with that movie, not to mention John Leguizamo came out in it too (Latino). I would definitely say it is both a cultural phenomenon /staple for us Latinos too and also just a badass staple of a film 💕 Y’all should check out Spawn if you haven’t yet!
I was about 8 when this came out. I saw it in the drive-in. My mom loved this movie and the soundtrack.
Thank you for uploading a reaction to a comfort movie of mine. You two help me a lot with my day to day in general so yeah. I appreciate it. This about to be wild.
Blade 2 is even better
That’s on the list to checkout soon!

Yall boys crazy if you think blade isn’t a staple in the black community😂. I was born in 95 so this hit different for me. It was only 4 black people in cinema that could throw hands on and off camera. Wesley snipes, Michael jai white( Spawn) , Jim Kelly and Bruce leroy( leroy green bka the last dragon). I wanted to learn martial arts because of seeing dudes like them on screen. Even though “people” (you know who) don’t wanna admit it, blade is the whole reason marvel even continued making movies. He’s the blue print for what we see today. But you know why they’re not gonna say that or acknowledge it 🤦🏾♂️. They keep giving it to tobey maguire and/or Robert Downey jr. No disrespect to them cause I grew up watching them too but Wesley deserves praise. He’s really the only person out majority of the marvel actors who actually can fight and do their own choreography. And he made that shit look cool asf. He’s easily better than T’Challa, Nick fury and Sam Wilson when it comes to the black marvel heroes. And he’s better than Most of the heroes we’ve seen , imo 🤷🏾♂️. I’d rather see another blade movie than an iron man one
Blade created one of the most iconic versions of vampires in the industry.
Yall should also react to Underworld please, it’s a really great saga similar to Blade
To be factual, Howard The Duck (1986) was the first modern Marvel character movie. More recently you see him briefly in Guardians Of The Galaxy and another Marvel movie too I think.
I'll warn you before you watch Howard the Duck that it's a mind trip. 😂
There was actually a TERRIBLE made-for-TV Captain America that might have been before Howard the duck, I don't remember for sure. Also the Incredible Hulk and Amazing Spiderman TV shows.
Blade walked so the matrix, resided evil, and underworld could run. lf y'all haven't seen underworld PLS REACT TO IT
Blade soundtrack sent me here and im gonna watch this epic again. Wesley Snipes in his prime. 👍
As a white middle-aged teen when it came out, we saw it in theaters as a family. I still own the DVD and watch it on occasions. A good movie is a good regardless of nationality.
I nominate you guys watch kill Bill next! 🙋🏾♀️
We just checked it out here is the RUclips link:

I can't wait to y'all watch Blade 2!
This the one. I will always love this movie. I love that Wesley did his own stunts. After blade l, you should she him in demolition man
He is not a Deacon his name is Deacon
I can’t believe you guys haven’t watched Blade 2 yet. It’s so good!!
I used to read the Blade comic books back in the 70's, among others. They were this generations Anime/Manga, so when they made this movie I knew it was on point. So different than other movies in the vampire genre. 😊
Please tell me yall did not miss the most important thing that Deacon told Blade about him and his mama!
Player's Club yes please!
I’m 31 years old and I’m from Kazakhstan, Blade was, is and will be the best vampire movie in the world 🤷🏻♀️
If you haven't already seen it, my favorite Wesley Snipes film is White Men Can't Jump, with Woody Harrelson.
That's Traci Lords, so yes, for a lot of men, having that happen randomly on a Friday night is too good to be true. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.
Please watch both 2 and 3.
Nothing about race when it came to Blade one hundred percent; at least the year it was released, heading out with the family to check this one out in theaters with a bucket of popcorn, 90's action, and a little Snipes leading the role you're damn right I was Blade for Halloween that year. Nothing about seeing myself in a role by race, demographic, or gender this movie had it all without all the needless check boxes they feel necessary to check in films today. This had the look, the feel, and the escapism that I feel turned up everyone's eye's on the potential for comic book film adaptations and to this day, I'll always prefer this over Iron Man as a top pic between Marvel releases. Blade is a cool character, but Snipes just embodied the role to perfection.
If they made Blade now, and if he hadn’t passed away, Ray Stevenson would have made a good Deacon Frost. In the comics, Frost is an older man with white hair, and beard, and wears 1860’s German attire. I just see Ray as Baylon Skoll in Ahsoka, and what the drawings of Deacon look like, and imagine he would have been perfect.
You do know who Traci Lords at the beginning is, don’t ya? She had a career in a slightly different kind of films.🤭
Im a white dude and blade cannot be played by anyone other than wesley snipes or a black actor .....considering the state of hollyweird and the MCU these days , im suprised the new blade a8nt a white dude 😊😊😊
Also , the comment you guys read where someone considered this the first MCU movie before Iron man , THEY ARE WRONG . The first MCU movie was
" the incredible hulk " which came out BEFORE iron man and had an end credits scene setting up the iron man movie and marvel universe .
In the 90s/00s, the BLADE-films were very popular with white audiences in the suburbs. Wesley was perceived as a solid action star.
I truly love this channel 😂 you guys are too funny.
Wow i cant believe yall said we dont do that on the tiger woods fist pump.... yall done forgot
Not sure if this was mentioned, but there's a new Blade coming out starring, (not sure of the spelling) Mershala Ali. Wesley will be making a cameo, I believe 🖤🌹🖤🧛
0:45 It’s both! Black hero AND a well-done movie. Sucks that the 2nd and 3rd were not as great.
Please watch the players club !!😂😂😂 adison gone be sweatin and clutching his pearls WHOLE MOVIE !! 🤣🤣🤣
Cant believe there are people who have never seen blade?!!
I would say everyone who's seen Blade likes it regardless of color. Its a staple in Black audiences for sure though. Its been having a new wave of success in recent years with all types of audiences because of the mcu, but I feel like it didn't get the proper amount of respect it deserved at the time. A lot of people nowadays are just discovering this movie and what it did for Marvel. Also by this film being a R rated vampire comic book movie, it probably wasn't shown to as many kids as say something like Spiderman or X Men was. Although I watched it and I was good.🤷🏾♂Yall DEFINITELY need to check out the other movies in this series. Its a MUST! Especially the second one. Its my favorite. The third one's not as good but you can still check it out.
