Because I am a vampire nerd, mostly from Castlevania- I will most likely actually watch this- unless it manages to be a complete mess of just woke trash

At least it isn't a remake. I have no problem with them reintroducing the character. Apparently all the Midnight Suns type characters are going to be darker than the normal MCU heroes.

I say this all the time and people never get the reference. I fucking l-o-v-e this line.

It's one of those lines that I thought was super cringey at the time and now it's kind of in "it's so bad it's good' territory.

How could anyone think that line was cringey? Doesn't make sense in the context of the movie, but still sounded cool as shit

It felt like he was trying way too hard to sound badass at the end when he didn't need to. It was like an Arnold line but the movie was too brooding for that kind of thing to fit. It also made me laugh out loud because I mentally pictured it so that took me out of the moment for a second.

Blade's got funny shit in it, man. That's part of the reason why besides Nomak (sp) being a cool fucking villian that the sequels weren't so great, those movies took themselves too seriously. But that line's in the same vein as when they used that crazy anime cartoon shit in the Nomak/Blade fight, sometimes it verged on self-aware/absurd.

This may be some mental gymnastics but stick with me.
Ice skating uphill would be difficult if not almost impossible to do. Nomak(sp?) Not being an elder or old one took on the difficult task of removing the elders, then figuring out the day walker thing and ultimately the god like ritual. All could be considered nearly impossible for a "common" vampire. Not to mention fighting Blade toe to toe which is no easy feat in itself.
So, "some mother fuckers always trying to ice skate uphill" makes sense.

Went that summer with a handful of buddies back in college to see the original. It was summertime and we were just looking for something to do, but little did we know how wonderful of a movie it was going to be. At that time it was pretty amazing, and that famous line at the end of the film had the entire theater roaring with laughter.
The CGI doesn't necessarily hold up any longer but it's still a damn good movie. I want to say Snipes supposedly stayed in character while on set during the entire shoot and was difficult to work with because he was being Blade.
I saw the other two in the theaters as well and they're pretty lackluster, but I think I'm going to have to go watch the first one again.

Blade is still one of my favorite hero moves. I would rate it better than all DC movies and all but 3 or 4 other Marvel movies (IM1, GOTG1, A:IW, A:EG), although part of that is probably due to what age I watched Blade, vs what age I watched the Marvel movies.

Fucking Wesley Snipes was born for the role. Hell I remember the second one, seeing it with a couple of friends, and he does the cheesy catch the sunglasses at the end when he's all juiced up and about to fight all the vampires, it was a laugh riot but so awesome. Total schlock but I will say the first one is probably the best, but the other two are pretty goofy, but fun films.

I saw the film with a significant black audience. It was a surreal experience. Not a single death in the film wasn't followed by someone shouting something. It was like MST3k but with people who actually loved the film unironically.
