Talk:Blade (franchise)

message: Do we have any sources for the Influences part? Also, addressing those points, it is an ancient concept, particulary when it comes to Magneto and the XMen, for two enemies to ally to take down a third, Blade is hardly the first movie where someone breaks in amongst butt-kicking to rescue somebody.

They are also very tenous links as well. I'm taking them out.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nightjim (talk • contribs) 17:25, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Influences

message: There is no actual proof that the fashion in Blade , influenced the fashion in the Matrix. Who ever made those connotations, obviously is assuming here.  Nor is the Bullet Time Sequence in the Matrix, influenced by the Bullet Dodge Sequence in the first Blade Movie.  That form of Bullet on the Fly SFX Shot, is more inspired by the Bullet on the Fly seen on John Woo's Full Contact, along with various other HKAMs.  The Bullet Time sequence in the Matrix, isn't some full-blown over-exaggerated version of said sequence at all. The Blade version doesn't utilize the same degree or anywhere near it, of technical computer imagery wizadry, as the Matrix does. Someone needs to get their facts straight before they say anything. i know this wikipedia, but come on people. user:celestialphoenixreborn

message: Stop Calling Blade a Horror Movie. It is a Super Hero Movie, just because Vampires are characters doesn't make it a Horror Movie. Blade is a member of the Marvel Universe and doesn't belong with the Horrorverse.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.27.27.202 (talk) 18:41, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Classification

message: Has no one heard the possible reboot?
There was a time when David Goyer said that he wouldn't write another vampire movie, but eventually changed his mind when New Line was thinking about rebooting about a year or two ago. He said he would like to write it. 
According to a article I read, there was a time that Stephen Norrington was going to direct it but dropped out back in January to direct the Lost Patrol.
Did no one know about this???
I'm still looking around if their's still any talk of a reboot... I know Snipes is interested in Blade 4, but New Line may have other ideas...

message: The rename of this page to anything other than Blade (franchise) is a bad move. [Context: the page went through several pointless renames one of which needlessly emphasized New Line Cinema in the article title.]
There are plenty of Marvel and MCU pages and there are plenty of new page names that Blade 2022 can use whenever it actually goes into production. At best any rename is premature, and the multiple renames this page has gone through recently are especially silly and unnecessary. I thought page moves were supposed to be discussed first to avoid these kinds of arguments. 
Please move this page back to Blade (franchise) where it belongs. -- 109.76.134.165 (talk) 04:46, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

message: The DVD boxset image is not very good, perhaps someone that understands the details of the Wikipedia image fair use policy could figure out a way to include and reuse the image of Wesley Snipes in character as Blade :File:Blade (Wesley Snipes).png already used elsewhere in Wikipedia? -- 109.76.133.17 (talk) 15:00, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Better image 

message: @StarTrekker Following your revert of my edit, moving the MCU film from a subsection of "Cancelled projects" to a new "In development" section: agreed, the reboot is not part of this franchise, but it's also not a "Cancelled project". As it's notable enough to be mentioned in the lead, would you object to it being renamed something like "Marvel Cinematic Universe reboot"? --YodinT 17:13, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The idea of bringing back Snipes as the character is a cancelled idea, which is what the section was originally for. As far as I see it there is no reason to dedicate information in this article to a new film unrelated to the New Line Cinema franchise beyond mentioning that its in the works.★Trekker (talk) 18:58, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think Snipes contacting Marvel to ask to reprise the role counts as a cancelled project, and having an MCU subsection there is pretty misleading (reading it I assumed that the film had been cancelled). Most articles like this tend to mention reboots, and other related projects, normally in a section at the end of the article. How about either renaming the existing "Marvel Cinematic Universe" section to "Reboot", or, if you only want it to mention that a reboot is in the works, replacing the subsection with simplified paragraph (something along the lines of "Snipes wanted to reprise the role, but when the new Blade film was announced, Mahershala Ali was cast in the lead role", i.e. shifting it from being about the reboot, to being about Snipes' involvement), until the new Blade film is released? --YodinT 19:20, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
