64 Just Marvel being Marvel...Marshala Ali apparently nearly left the Blade reboot because, at one point, the script "morphed into a narrative led by women and filled with life lessons. Blade was relegated to the fourth lead..." (archive.ph) posted 1 year ago by BrainJuice 1 year ago by BrainJuice +64 / -0 43 comments share 43 comments share save hide report block hide replies
Can't wait for the new strong heroines to kick the vampire patriarchy's ass and show manchild Blade how it's done with sassy empowered put downs!
Of course, WHEN it bombs at the box office, it will be my fault as a cis white shitlord for being toxic and not supporting women.
Irony being that I can think of no genre or character type more thoroughly owned and created by women for women than fucking vampires. Blade might be one of the few times it ever didn't feel like porn for women in a century.
Well of course! Who would be to blame? Certainly not the women they're pandering to who don't go see action movies!
