One of the scripts had Blade as a secondary character and a group of women as the main cast.

See I don’t believe that story at all lol

This sounds like one of your greatest fears come to life

Is that a jab at me implying I don't want movies lead by women or a general statement?

Marvel Messed Up 'Blade' So Badly That The Script Featured Mostly 'Women And Life Lessons', Relegated Mahershala Ali To 4th Lead

Blade, a story about a vampire slayer, has found itself in production hell over at Marvel Studios in recent years, as it has now gone through five

Not movies, just specifically marvel changing things to feature more women in theirs instead of main comic leads but it's not a spiteful jab just a little joke to you lol also not disagreeing that it's true I'd heard it too

Oh I see. Well yes, I don't like it when they replace male characters with women just for the sake of it. On the other hand, I was actually excited with the last scene in The Marvels teasing a new female team, I'm all for it as long as they don't replace anybody else and if they don't make it as cringe as that scene in Endgame.
But you have to admit, just thinking about making a BLADE movie in which he is not the main character says a lot about those writers.

I think I'd enjoy it if it was a Werewolf by Night thing instead of a full movie. You could have it from the vanpires POV as Blade mysteriously picks them off one by one

 

[Y2Jayne]

Just give me a movie half as fun as Blade II and I'm good.

 

[Sabretooth]

Yeah making a Blade movie without… you know… BLADE as the main character is obscene

Just got home from The Marvels. A very enjoyable film. Marvel may be on the up again after that one.

LOVED the mid-credit scene.

End Game was Marvels 17.

Now their Secret Invasion turned into the WCW invasion and no one ca do right because it's not what people had in their heads and now can't do anything right lol.

So they relying on Deadpool to pull the cart because it's kind of a hold over from the End Game Era and by the sounds of it thinking about bringing back dead characters because the new blood isn't drawing like they wanted.

LOVED the mid-credit scene.

That character looked good, the CGI was somehow better than in the actual movie.

I've been watching Ms. Marvel and Secret Invasion recently since I resubscribed to Disney. I really like both shows, Marvel is very easy watching with fun characters and a charming vibe. Iman Vellani I think is super likeable in the leading role. Invasion I'm really enjoying, it feels more unique than most superhero shows, I really enjoy the spy theme a lot.

Honestly. I think Marvel gets way too much hate. After the amazing stuff we got with Infinity War and Endgame the bar is just way too high for the shows/movies. There hasn't been a single one that I didn't have fun with.

 

[Chris]

It's just the usual fandom cycle really. Everyone loves it except for the people that are mad it's so loved, people start getting tired of it and then everyone can bond and pretend they were never big fans in the first place. Like I constantly see "Endgame wasn't even that good" hot takes recycled nowadays lmao

 

[Butters]

Endgame was like the best movie experience of my entire life. just an amazing experience.
