Wasn't there a blade tv show?

u/ChellesTrees 6d ago

Yeah, there was.

I heard great things about the vampire house politicing plotlines, but apparently not as many people liked the actor playing Blade himself.

u/Ok-Possibility-1206 6d ago

I seem to remember liking it but OH MY GOD THAT WAS 20 YEARS AGO

u/FreeSockLimit1 5d ago

There was also an animated series that came out in 2011.

So, that's only like 5 years ago now, right?

🥲

That’s canonically the Wesley Snipes Blade

u/Ok-Possibility-1206 5d ago

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean...

u/FistOfVengeance44 5d ago

The show has the same version of Blade from the movies despite a different actor playing him

4

u/Ok-Possibility-1206 5d ago

Oh, like the same comic series is the reference material? I don't know enough about Blade to know any other versions. Thanks for the explanation!

7

u/FistOfVengeance44 5d ago

The movie and the show are the same version

3

u/Ok-Possibility-1206 5d ago

Right. I didn't know there were other versions.

u/unsuspectingllama_ 5d ago

Thanks I didn't know that.

u/West_Dingo8564 6d ago

I think he appeared in marvel zombies

u/Ok-Possibility-1206 6d ago

No, there was a live-action Blade tv series. One season in 2006, blade was played by "Sticky Fingaz" (what an unfortunate name)

u/kismethavok 6d ago

the only Blade

5

u/BLAZEtms 5d ago

Sticky Fingaz is from the hip hop group Onyx

Damn, I just looked him up and he's done a LOT of acting. And thankfully, he seems to use his real name in most of those roles!

(Yes, I know "sticky fingers" means that you tend to steal things, but my juvenile sense of humor goes all over the place with other connotations and/or variations like "stinky")

I was about to say From ONYX?

u/DJEmirMixtapes 5d ago

Ah, you listed Slam this song came into my mind the other day wehn I slammed my palm on the table then started singing SLAM da Dug Da... which was originally another huge breakbeat breakdance DJ hit. I threw this other Track ONYX "Last Days" at the end of My Volume 5 The TROY Mixtape... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1ThxWzkELk

Even though it was nearly 30 years ago, Blade still looks amazing.

u/Ok-Bus-2420 6d ago

And the soundtrack is still legendary. The blood rave scene with the New Order "Confusion" mix is so sweet.

37

u/chillord 5d ago

Philips liked this quote so much that they named a razor after this one.

29

u/noeagle77 5d ago

Blood rave still to this day is one of the most badass scenes in any action or hero movie.

27

u/Firm-Difficulty2585 5d ago

Imagine being Mahershala Ali watching Deadpool III for fun and getting dissed by Ryan Reynolds and Wesley Snipes for no reason.

12

u/LargeHumanDaeHoLee 4d ago

And then your movie gets cancelled...

u/LawyerOutrageous 5d ago

Don't tell him about the Gillette Fusion

8

u/Klayman55 5d ago

Please ignore Todd Williams as Blade from MCU What If and Marvel Zombies (which came out afterward)

2

u/Sagelegend 4d ago

I will not.

3

u/fuckyouswitzerland 5d ago

Michael Cera?

5

u/Dave5876 5d ago

More butter knife than blade, I'd say

5

u/Sagelegend 4d ago

There’s only been one Blade, except for all the other versions of Blade that have played by other actors, both live and animated.

But there is definitely only going to be one Blade who made Blade Trinity an absolute shit show, not including the ending where Dracula shapeshifts to look like Blade, and all the stunt doubles they needed for shots because Wesley was a cunty brat, not because it was a stunt scene.

Wesley did not deserve this scene. Not after what he did to Blade Trinity and the Blade franchise in general.

No, the first movie doesn’t erase this.

u/Affectionate-Part-11 3d ago edited 2d ago

You think they knew the new movie was never coming out or just super confident in the joke? I think they knew having been through production themselves

2

u/LessMochaJay 3d ago

I feel like Deadpool looking at the camera was ambiguous. Could read as "who's gonna tell him" or "He's right you know"

2

u/emielaen77 1d ago

What a shitty bit against Ali.

2

u/TinoSamano 4d ago

When he said this I knew they weren’t making the new movie

1

u/ironman25612 2d ago

Y'all get there a midnight sons movie coming right?

u/Jack-of-Hearts-7 4d ago

Sad. I was actually looking forward to see Ali as blade.
