Comments on: Blade given the stake by Marvel http://blackgeekdom.com/blog/2007/05/25/blade-given-the-stake-by-marvel/ Science-Fiction from a Different Perspective Thu, 07 Jul 2011 23:26:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: michant2 http://blackgeekdom.com/blog/2007/05/25/blade-given-the-stake-by-marvel/comment-page-1/#comment-4 michant2 Fri, 25 May 2007 02:18:04 +0000 http://blackgeekdom.com/?p=6#comment-4 I think that the first Blade movie hit at the right time. It was also a "gateway" drug for comic book fans going to the movies again. Not to mention, it paved the way for The Matrix, which came out several months later. Blade is a B-list character who has underground appeal. The Spawn movie came out exactly a year before Blade and didn't half as good a Blade did, and Spawn was a relatively popular character that was successful as a comic book and popular as an animated show on cable. The television show was doomed before it began because of Sticky Fingaz being cast. For example, do you think Sci-Fi channel ran with Painkiller Jane because of her popularity, or because geeks think Kristinna Loken is "hot"? I think that the first Blade movie hit at the right time. It was also a “gateway” drug for comic book fans going to the movies again. Not to mention, it paved the way for The Matrix, which came out several months later.
