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.

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
I haven't been paying attention lately but... Blade is Jesus? WTH? Highlandlord 13:32, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was move the page from "Blade Trilogy" to Blade (film series), per the discussion below. Dekimasu よ! 00:39, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
This article should be renamed to Blade (film series) to bring it inline with the naming convention pertaining to film series. Let's discuss. - LA @ 10:50, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Please state whether or not you support the renaming of this article.
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)
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...

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)
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Blade (franchise)(version 2). Please participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. Regards, SONIC 678 18:25, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
In January 2021 User:*Treker deleted a section of the article. I think this should be discussed first. While I can understand the need trim back any excess information about the Marvel reboot of Blade but it is not clear why it was necessary to delete the information about the proposed Stephen Norrington Stephen Dorff spin-off. -- 109.76.141.220 ( talk) 15:25, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
Some over-enthusiastic editors have tried to add more information related to the upcoming MCU version of Blade to this article and I urge restraint. Spoiler: It would be better to keep the MCU blade details separate and not do not put WP:UNDUE emphasis on a voice only cameo of Blade from the end credits of Eternals. [4] If it belongs in this article at all (and I doubt that) it only belongs in the same subsection with the other MCU Blade details, it was wholly inappropriate ( WP:UNDUE) to add to the Infobox because of a tiny voice only cameo. It would be better to direct MCU Blade details to the various MCU articles including MCU Blade film. -- 109.76.133.17 ( talk) 14:51, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
that is significantIP 103, I strongly disagree with your opinion that a voice only cameo in the end credits of a film is significant, it is trivial at best. I mostly agree with user Trekker about keeping Wesley Snipes Blade separate from MCU Blade but I think his delete was too severe. Claims about Morbius and MCU Blade are either speculation or not properly sourced, but again I don't agree that they should be included here at all and are better left to MCU articles. -- 109.79.178.223 ( talk) 00:09, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
And again without any discussion User:*Treker deleted the Reboot subsection [6] and replaced it with a See also [7]. -- 109.79.178.223 ( talk) 11:07, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
IP 103 wrote an edit summary suggesting (rather impolitely,
WP:NOPA) that we should "return to the talk page"
[9] but 103 has failed to return to the talk page. IP 103 has merely
asserted that the certain details were "significant" but not provided persuasive reasoning for mixing the New Line Blade and MCU Blade in one franchise article.
User:YgorD3, Trekker, and IP 109 (me) seem to all agree more than we disagree. (As far as I can tell, my minor disagreement with Trekker about the extent of his delete has been adequately resolved. From the start I did not disagree with his trimming back the article.) IP 103 seems to think the edits by
YgorD3 (
talk ·
contribs) indicate agreement (even though YgorD3 disagreed with the inclusion of Eternals and Morbius), so further comment from YgorD3 to clarify might be helpful.
IP 103 does not get to keep their recent changes as the
WP:STATUSQUO and they should follow their own advice and discuss more. They might consider the
WP:RFC process, since they seem to want to keep asking that this article should mix both New Line Blade franchise and MCU Blade. --

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)
@ 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"? -- Yodin T 17:13, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
