I imagine that MCU New York must be the cheapest place to live in because of all the superhero damages. Probably the same reason for why people live in any city that has a high rate of Superhero happenings

The slumlords would find a positive spin to put on it. “Sure rent is 3 grand for a shoebox, but just think of it; you can look out your window and see Iron Man fly by! Isn’t that cool!!! Oh and we’ll need you to get renters insurance in case The Thing kicks Dr. Doom through your bedroom wall…”

Honestly, the bigger problem Vampires have is that everything in the MCU apparently has to happen in New York. Yeah, they could have Vampires be in literally any other state - DC would be funny if not too on the nose - and not step on any toes, but nope, New York or nothing.

THis is very much a marvel issue rather than an MCU issue

Pretty much every single superhero in marvel is based out of new york

Avengers tower, the baxter building, the sanctum sanctorum, xaviers shcool, stark tower are all in new york

Spiderman, Daredevil, the punisher, Luke cage, iron fist, jessica jones and moon knight are all street level heroes based in new york and thats just off the top of my head.

hell, of the avengers, most of them are based there.

which is why its dumb when something big happens in someones comic series and every one and their dog doesnt rock up to help, this isnt like DC where you can hand wave away why green lantern didnt rock up to Gotham to help Batmanbecause there just want enough time, all this stuff is occuring on other superheroes doorsteps in marvel, dr strange would trip over atleast 4 different marvel events on his walk to the park and yet is never involved in any thta arent in his book XD

It's following the same path as the Star Wars thread. The new content coming out is so underwhelming that we are just remembering the things that didn't suck. What is there to be excited about the MCU aside from the one and done Deadpool? We have Not Captain America and Thunderbolts, both of which are guaranteed to underwhelm. It's past its prime. Hell, even before the studio became a bomb factory it was already creatively bankrupt.

If you ask me Marvel studios fucked up when they thought adapting the "all new all different" era was a good idea.

Y’know, at least Runaways back in the early 2000’s had them be on the other side of the country - and had a given reason why we didn’t see anyone else from the Marvel Roster until the end of the Pride. Granted the second the Pride were dealt with it opened them to the greater Marvel Universe, and if that’s not exactly what’d happen to any self-contained movie or series bearing the Marvel brand until the death of the MCU and why that’s a creative hamstring I don’t know what a better example would be…

You’d think that with how “amazing and perfect” things are, at least one or two of these groups would move to California. Guess even Superheroes don’t want to deal with that shit.

Wait the fuck - there was a Live Action TV series for Runaways? It aired for three seasons, how did I not know about this until Googling Runaways to confirm shit?

Felicia is a similar age to Peter in mainstream canon (only Ultimate made her considerably older and they also made her a short-haired brunette who wore a white wig for some reason - as though the Catwoman comparisons weren't already blatant enough). And Peter was always supposed to be a manlet, he's canonically like 5'10 or something while Felicia is ironically supposed to be 6'1 yet artists always draw her as shorter or the same height as him.

Thought that was the case, 'cos in Spider-Man: The Animated Series, Peter is Felicia's physics tutor at college (or University. I overlooked the details a bit), and I think, you know, due to being a genius, he's a very young teacher, so, if he IS older than her, it's barely noticeable, like, I dunno, 2-3 years older at the very most.

And, in that continuity (later on, based off Doc-Ock: Armed and Dangerous), Mary-Jane is missing (presumed dead, due to pulling the Green Goblin into a portal), and, eventually, Peter starts going out with Felicia; herself, trying to move on from her ex-boyfriend becoming... Morbius the Living Vampire.

@Calandrino You know, I've got it in my head that Charles would have a habit of occasionally using the method of Fifty No's and a Yes Means Yes. A sort of "sexgestion", if you will. His old mate Erik is probably significantly more charismatic/charming than he is, once you take away his mind powers. And then there's Wolvie, who has, raw animal magnetism. LOL, at least half the Mutants in the comics are likely descendants of Magneto and Wolverine by this point.

Eh I have low standards and America Chavez is my favorite shitty DEI character of all time. ( I laughed my ass off every time I heard her name and saw her power set) I thought it was fun.

Only way he's 5'8" is if he's wearing lifts. Dude's barely 5'6" and got dwarfed by Marky Mark in that awful Uncharted movie.

I just pulled his height off IMDB or somewhere. I don't really know for certain. Either way though, we both agree Felicia would at best keep his ears warm.

Wesley Snipes is not a man I can see playing nice with Current Era politics and Hollywood. Blade may be an iconic character but personally I can't look at him without seeing that crazy villain from Demolition Man - that dude was fantastic.

Pretty sure he'd beat the shit out of most modern actors, and will call people like The Rock massive faggots for how much of a drama queen he is.

I miss based black people.

The scene in Blade 2 when Ron Perlman asks him if he can blush is based on a real life incident. I would have liked to see that. I would also like to know if Wesley Snipes can blush, since afaik he never really answered the question.

Is this like iceskating up hill? Or is this a real phrase I've never heard of?

Either way lol

He seems to be saying that Disney's best hope is to attempt to emulate what people liked or remember from "his" Blade films, but still fail because they're too mediocre and formulaic to do better than insert clumsy 'memberberries.

Mr. Snipes is so melanated that some actual guy irl unironically wanted to know if he could visibly blush.

In Blade 2, the guy was just trying to get a rise out of him, but with the same implication.

Okay, I wondered if maybe it was something to do with him being dark skinned, but it's such a weird question. Like had Ron Perlman actually never met a Black person before, and he was actually scientifically curious about if Black people could blush? Did he ask if he could touch his hair, as well?

Few people played it (unfortunately) but I really liked the version of Blade they did for the game Marvel's Midnight Suns. They got Michael Jai White for the voice and he balances humour and bad-assery pretty darn excellently. Some of the dialogue makes me laugh, too: "Blade told me to mention your mother. Apparently, she is... promiscuous?"

I think the joke was whether a vampire can blush and Blade being a nigger dhamphir makes it several times funnier.
