I hate to tell most of you this but very few people thought about Marvel when they thought about Blade & Wesley Snipes back then & many still to this day don’t realize Blade is a part of Marvel. Now that doesn’t mean what Michael Jai White is saying is wrong, because there is definitely truth in what he is saying. Marvel was selling off some of its rights/characters because they were not doing so hot. They had some flops and then Wesley playing Blade got them off to a good start. But most fans do not associate Blade with Marvel. Blade/Wesley did do a fantastic job bringing in revenue for Marvel but almost nobody associated Blade with Marvel. Blade wasn’t looked at as a comic book movie, or even thought of in that light. It was thought of as a badass action vampire film. X-Men + Spider-Man + Fantastic Four + Punisher during early 2000s is what drew Marvel comic fans in and kept them there. Blade had 3 movies so it was there too but Blade is not the only thing that saved or helped propel/reignite Marvel. It helped get the ball rolling and Wesley definitely deserves recognition for what he did. He should get at the very least a cameo in the new film. But stop acting like the Black community came in & was the savior. 🤭 I love ya but let’s be real, comic book fans came in when X-Men & Spider-Man came in. It’s not a race/color thing, it’s a realism thing. And all the characters from Blade to Spider-Man to Iron Man to Gamora to Black Panther are all badasses that helped bring Marvel back to life and keep it alive…together. A long string of consecutive blockbuster hits, one after another. Give Wesley his due but at the same time please stop acting like it’s a race thing, where a Black person carried a “White franchise.” 🤦 Marvel is a multi-racial unity of people who work together to make those films. People forget about the people who cast the characters, do the directing, producing, editing, music. One many didn’t bring back a whole goddamn company. Enough of the bullsh*t. Without Stan Lee & all those employees who did all the creating & hard work over the years before that, without them there is no Blade or any of the rest.
@SKTheKingYT Without a doubt because of that his animation in the comics got updated
@SKTheKingYT The truth gotta be the m’therf’ing truth. If #WeslySnipes didn’t star in #Blade there’d be no f’ing #MarvelStudios that’s why the script for reboot was trashed 🤷🏾♀️
@SKTheKingYT @radiikall nunca t vi a dar props no Wesley. Se fosse branco ias fazer bue choros. Seu Oreo.
@SKTheKingYT I’ve been saying this for years. People even scoffed at him when talking about an Avengers film.
