    I just canā€™t wrap my head around how a Blade film is having the most trouble sticking to a script. Itā€™s so frustrating
  • @topentine
    It's because, the standard set by Wesley Snipes' Blade is at the top of Mount Everest. Simple. Bless Wesley Snipes
  • @aimi302
    Kat Williams as Blade is diabolical casting lmao
  • Blade deserves better, hopefully we will get a cohesive and amazing film sooner rather than later.
  • @MatthewPalanca
    Itā€™s so weird that Ali is older than Snipes was when he concluded his run of Blade lol
  • @T_Cray10
    I wouldnā€™t even be mad if Mahersha Ali decided to leave the project at this point.
  • @Anomondaris
    I actually am happy that theyā€™re seemingly trying to do the best version of Blade. Iā€™d rather wait for a great movie than get a fast track movie with script problems
  • @asdkotable
    It's insane that Blade and Loki were announced at the same time, and Loki has already aired 2 seasons of a total of 12 episodes, and they are still re-writing Blade.
  • @savedgesurvive
    It's clearly the studio. And Ali apparently sticking up for the character and saying no a bunch (which is great, I want more actors and directors putting their foot down)
  • @bless7414
    Delroy Lindo as ā€œWhistlerā€ would be perfect
  • @mikehall7189
    You cannot call yourself a critic if you never criticise anything.
  • @justin.channels
    19:33 Jessica is SPOT on. Scheduling does not stop a star being in a movie. MILLIONS of dollars were spent on Henry Cavill's LIP so he could film two movies. If Ali leaves due to "scheduling difficulties," Marvel is lying or Ali is being kind.
  • @nitsuj182
    Just like when Channing Tatum was announced as gambit at comic con and the movie never came out
  • @MTNdewromance
    Blade (90's) was what got people excited to see a Marvel movie growing up. That trilogy of films was the baseline of the Marvel Movies we got in the late 2000's and to endgame. I think Ali wants a story that builds a story line that connects into Midnight Sun's and pays homage to 90's Blade while setting it up as his movie and not a Wesley Snipes rip-off. I understand why its taking so long to make and why they constantly re-write the story. You cant take a character that was the first stone placed in a 26 year legacy.
  • @swimboyfree
    Ali is the perfect Blade reboot! They gotta get it done
  • @GennaSt
    17:00 I didn't realize John Boyega had been mistreated by Disney. Thank you for clarifying how Disney mowed down characters.
  • @bluntbreak
    Better off considering blade1 canon to mcu at this point lol
  • @YelleHughes
    If I'm remembering correctly, did feige say ali called him and said he wanted to be blade? That if ali calls you and wants a role, you just give it to them because he won those oscars?
