    The Trial

    Season 1 Episode 7


    The number of famous vampires included (and the actors playing them) is insane.

    The original Blade is one of my all time favorites.

    This would have been the perfect opportunity to have Blade be played by a Hispanic pansexual female.

    Way less Hispanic superheroes than black superheroes.

    List items

      1. Black Panther

      T’Challa the Black Panther is the King of Wakanda, a member of the Avengers, and one of the smartest men on the planet. Few people can match his combat skills and keen senses, and he’s been able to best some the most powerful villains in the Marvel Universe. Whether by himself or with the Fantastic Four or with the Avengers, The Black Panther is a valuable ally to have and an incredible adversary to all that choose to fight him.

    • [​IMG]
      2. Luke Cage

      Sweet Christmas! With skin more powerful than titanium with combat expertise and superstrength to boot, Luke Cage is one of the central members of the modern day New Avengers. He’s also a family man with a wife and kid, who you better not mess with if you want your teeth still in your mouth.

    • [​IMG]
      3. War Machine

      Iron Man’s best friend and a decorated vet, “Rhodey” was given the Iron Man suit by Tony Stark when he thought he couldn’t be able to save the world and drink himself into oblivion like Nic Cage in Leaving Las Vegas. However, since the suit was designed for Tony’ mind only, Rhodes kinda went nuts from it, so Stark made him his won suit, which the army equipped with awesome artillery and thus the War Machine was born. A valuable member of the Avengers.

    • [​IMG]
      4. Blade

      The coolest vampire hunter in the comic books boasts victories over some of the most powerful supernatural forces in comics. Often associated with Wesley Snipes, who portrayed him in the trilogy about the character. You do not want to mess with Blade, or his sunglasses he wears at night for some reason. Someone call Corey Hart.

    • [​IMG]
      5. Storm

      Ororo Munroe is probably one of the most recognizable female comic book characters of all time, and there’s a reason for that. Her power over the forces of nature is almost unparalleled and she has lead the X-Men through many grueling battles against evildoers. She rocks, and she rocks a mohawk occasionally.

    • [​IMG]
      6. Falcon

      Sam Wilson was Captain America’s most trusted sidekick for a decade before he became a valuable Avenger, due to his incredible speed, his fearless avian partner Redwing, and his keen senses coupled with expert combat training.

    • [​IMG]
      7. Miles Morales

      Miles made quite the controversy when he debuted. However, he shows incredible promise as a great hero in the future, and has done some pretty awesome things in his relatively shirt tenure in the comics. He makes sure that Spider-Man’s legacy lives on!

    • [​IMG]
      8. Nick Fury

      (The Ultimate comics version) Commander of S.H.I.E.L.D. and coordinator of the Avengers Initiative, he stills calm under pressure and is the best secret agent on earth with one working eye.

    • [​IMG]
      10. Bishop

      This guy is a living battery and can absorb nearly any kind of energy and redirect it back at incredible power levels. Add in his distinctive sense of location and his expertise in small arms and you got a mutant everyone wants on their side.

    • [​IMG]
      11. Spectrum

      Also known as Photon and for a short time as Captain Marvel, she can change her body density and control most forms of energy,making her a powerful ally to the Avengers and the X-Men.

    • [​IMG]
      14. Deathlok

      Every version of Deathlok has been badass, and Micheal Collins is probably one of the more famous incarnations. Deathlok tech is considered to be the premier cybernetic armor in the Marvel Universe, and this hero knows how to use it.

      15. Isaiah Bradley

      Chronologically the first Captain America.

    • [​IMG]
      17. Misty Knight

      As the ringmaster of Heroes For Hire, she oversees the actions of heroes like Power Man, Iron Fist, Ghost Rider, and Falcon, and that takes a calm-under-pressure attitude and a strong military mindset. Also, she can kick ass by herself using her knowledge of all kinds of guns and her golden arm used exclusively for whopping ass.

    • [​IMG]
      18. Gentle

      Possibly one of the most powerful mutants in the world as far as strength though limited by the tattoos he bares, Gentle is a force to be reckoned with.

    • [​IMG]
      19. Black Goliath

      Henry Pym's lab partner turned superhero, Ben Foster fights for what's right, and paid the ultimate price for doing so. He will not be forgotten for his role in Captain America's resistance during the Marvel Civil War.

    ^ this, he's a fit/thin actor, which is normally OK since that overrides the whole 'camera adds 20lbs thing'.

    But to be Blade, he should bulk up. Maybe not to the level of Snipes, (not enough time), but put on some muscles.

    This song popped into a music stream I was listening to this morning. This movie will be a fail if they don’t reenact this scene.

    Rumored first appearance of Blade will not be in Blade, but before:

    BLADE: We May Know Where Mahershala Ali's Daywalker Will Make His MCU Debut - Possible SPOILERS
    Though Mahershala Ali technically made his (off-screen) debut as Blade in Eternals, a new rumor may reveal where we'll see the character appear in person for the first time ahead of his own solo movie.

    As the Blade movie continues to round out its cast ahead of production getting underway later this year, a new rumor may reveal where Mahershala Ali's titular vampire hunter will make his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut.

    Possible spoilers ahead.

    Though Ali did technically feature in Eternals' post-credits scene (his voice could be heard off-screen), The Cosmic Circus is reporting that the Daywalker will make his first actual appearance in the upcoming Disney+ Halloween Special, which is believed to be based on Werewolf By Night. The site doesn't really have much more to add, but they have had a few significant scoops pan out in the past, so this is definitely worth paying attention to.

    If Marvel Studios wants to allow more casual fans to become familiar with Blade before he leads his own movie, Werewolf By Night would be the most logical place to introduce the character. Blade seems to shaping up to be more of a team-focused adventure than we'd initially been led to believe, so perhaps the hero will recruit the Werewolf to join his supernatural group?

    Eternals actor Kit Harington is expected to reprise the of Dane Whitman, and a recent casting call suggested that Blade will introduce Whitman's love interest Faiza Hussain, aka Excalibur. Krypton alum Aaron Pierre is also on board in an undisclosed part.

    The still untitled Halloween Special is also scheduled to shoot this year, and stars Gael Garcia Bernal as the Werewolf(?) and Laura Donnelly as Nina Price, aka Vampire by Night.

    I didn't know Blade was born in London. Which would have made Damson Idris from the show Snowfall a better choice imo. Dude was born in London and he's 18 years younger.

    Feige spread too thin because Disney+ keeps churning out series like they’re Saturday morning cartoons along with 50 movies on deck

    MCU is quantity over quality
