I feel like Blade is going to be pretty great and Ali trying to do a bad Snipes impression with tons of motherfuckers wouldn't work anyway.

The only thing I remember about Mortal Kombat: Annihilation was Sub-Zero showing up out of nowhere, saying “I will aid you in your quest!”, and then immediately running offscreen never to be seen again.

Yeah, I love Snipes' Blade and its basically how I see Blade but if there's one person on this planet I'm willing to give the chance to reinvent the character for himself its Mahershala Ali.

The only thing I remember is the bit at the start where Raiden turns into a Billy Idol lookalike because they couldn't get Christopher Lambert to return for the sequel.

Look, vampires just have neon blue blood for some reason, everyone knows this! Hey, it works in Japan apparently!

As counterfactual as this sounds I don't think vampires are all that bloody. If they get a victim they are drinking it clean, not leaving it spilled all over the place. The blood rave scene is very cool, but what a waste of perfectly good human blood! Only a specific set of vampires might be that decadent or bold!

So I have been reading Jason Aaron's run on the Avengers and it's reminded me of one problem with Blade. After the Punisher, he is this brutal, uncompromising guy which makes it hard to do a straight adaption. With the Punisher if you have him go full Frank, he ends up looking like a really racist cop. If you have Blade go ham legions of vampires it's kind of the same. Even if they are all meant to be blood sucking monsters, most people are turned into vampires against their will. In the Avengers they contrasted Tony Stark (someone who looked at the challenge of curing vampires) T'Challa (someone who wanted to save the people who were vampires) as against Blads (a guy who wanted to kill all of them. No exceptions.)

There's a fun Batman elseworlds where he's a vampire and he's desperate to maintain his code regardless but then snaps and eats The Joker, now that he has the thirst he goes after all his old enemies, leaving their heads on spikes outside Arkham.

site posted:e: this is quite possibly the worst thing ever Oh no, the worst thing ever is reading claims WB started making an MK Ultra Girls show and had half a season in the can before getting cold feet, thus cruelly denying us all Cassie, Jacqui and Frost going to Outland High, and lovable scamp Mileena pranking her stuck up sister every chance she gets while wine mom Sindel laughs.  Sure, it must be a hoax or marketing gag (as if Frost is ever getting a spotlight) but then again, some coked up execs were going to make an Aliens cartoon at one point so maybe, just maybe...

Pretty sure any/every popular 80s movie series had a cartoon made or pitched. Like I’m sure someone came up with a Hellraiser or Chucky cartoon.

They didn't make a Hellraiser cartoon but I'll never forget in Grade 2 some kid letting me borrow his! The only panel I can remember is some guy walking into a barn and a bunch of bodies are strung up with metal and bloodied. Then some rock n roll demon with a guitar yelling I LOVE KILLING or something. Comic book stores just didnt care back then.

It's just that when a peasant in Sylvania says their lord is a heartless, blood-sucking ghoul who feasts on the misery of the common folks, there's a good chance she's making a completely literal and accurate description of the guy who lives in the castle up on yonder hill.

If it is true and they really did make half a season, may as well just release it and see what happens. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't but it's just a waste otherwise. I can already picture Jade & Kitana being insufferable besties while Mileena and Skarlet skulk off to hang out by the bike sheds with the kool kids.

CapnAndy posted:I'm honestly not. We're conditioned to expect vampires to explode bloodlessly into dust and disappear; hell, that was what happened in the original Blade movies too. So long there aren't any terribly gory kills -- and this is a Marvel superhero movie, why would there be -- it'll be fine. I don't want this to be a Marvel superhero movie, I want it to be a Blade movie. The whole point of all the poo poo that got announced back in 2019 was supposed to be about moving away from the formula and branching out what Marvel movies/shows could be. If this movie isn't at least as violent as the average issue of Marvel's Vampire Tales or Dracula Lives! I'll consider it a failure. Lurdiak fucked around with this message at 20:03 on Feb 25, 2021 |

CapnAndy posted:I think there was a rights issue with Johnny Cage at the time, something about the original mocap guy suing them or something? I know the games killed him off too around then and it wasn't a coincidence. IIRC what happened was that they fired the guy who played Johnny Cage because he did promotional work for another fighting game referencing the fact that he worked on Mortal Kombat. Anyway, Tom Holland has confirmed that the new Spider-Man is the last on his current contract (outside of another MCU appearance.)

Yeah so they killed his rear end offscreen in the games, and when they brought him back in 4 due to fan demand he was much more of a joke character.

I think Spidey will, (possible hot take/bold prediction), with or without Holland. The character is too popular and brand is too strong for them to just let him go, and recasting him isn't some moral quandary like the Black Panther situation.

I'd really like to see Holland stick around and go onto become a new central Avengers guy because then at least one Peter Parker would have some upward mobility that is likely to stick instead of being unceremoniously ripped away by Dr. Octopus or the devil or whatever And then they can add Miles to the MCU, allowing all those people who were complaining about Spider-man having Iron Man as a role model to unclench, because Spider-Man will have Spider-Man as a role model.
