I have nothing left to say to you in regards to what Blade's designation is. It's been made abundantly clear by myself, with irrefutible evidence, as well as a poll that favors a similar opinion.
I feel as if he himself is a "super hero", both by definition, and the underlying statutes set forth by the comic book movie franchises both before and after that of his.
If you feel differently, then so be it. I think we've made both our arguements, and right now, the majority of the thread participants are siding with me, or atleast agree.
Fair enough? This is petty, and the last thing I need to worry about at this point in time.
hes a super hero durrr
Btw, CA, I dont think of my monopoly electric company Nevada Power or any of its employees as heros but much more like villains 🙂
They raise rates because of things that happen in cali and it is unfair for us. Yeah the regular joe employee is nothing, BUT all good super villains have lackeys 😄
P.S my power is going out...good thing i have this generator 🙂 T..aalk t.ttt.o yyo.. u la..ter.. . . . 🙂
I still can't believe this topic is still going.
Blade has super human strength (he DOES have super human strength -vampires have it and it's one of his powers) and agility (same again) - plus the whole swordsman and fighter training thing.
Batman and Captain America are considerred super heroes, yet Blade can't?
Thing is - Blade isn't really SUPPOSED to be a run of the mill superhero. He's a vampire hunter, like Buffy, or Angel from TV. He hunts vampires. He was never intended to be a superhero in the same vein as Spider-Man or Superman, because what he does, where he comes from and everything else is completely different. It's like Ghost Rider and Punisher - they all have different motives, abilities and were all supposed to stand alone. Their powers were created with the intention of generating a character.
So many people get wound up in a superheroes powers and fail to realise the basic premise by any of these characters - the story.
The story, the characters, the risks they take, make a character into a superhero.
Also, the definition of superhero is a slight grey area. In this day and age, one persons idea of a superhero will differ from anothers. Some charcaters by their nature don't look like superheroes, but look more closely and you will find a true superhero like any other. Blade is one of those characters.
I don't see what the arguement is, really. Blade has super powers. He stops the world from being over-run by vampires. He's a super-hero.
Originally posted by Cinemaddictionthen what is batman if he doesn't have super powers. is he a super hero becuase tons of thousands will say he is? plus a fire man could be called a hero but really i htink not becuase he wanted to do that job, like really same with cops, i think when some goes out of there way to save some one not in a job then there a hero.
So, if I chose to be a fireman, and saved peoples lives day in and day out, I'm not a hero, according to you?Farmers, for example, provide a service that not everyone is skilled or qualified to do day in and day out. People thay provide food for the entire nation are heroes to me. If not to you, then why don't you go cultivate your own crops?
As for the "Punisher" not needing super powers to be considered a "super hero", did you miss the entire definition of what constitutes a such a title?
Keyword there being [b]and
. Frank Castle is human. Nothing more. "Batman" is only considered a "super hero" by the general public, because he and Superman were novelty crimefighters when the phrase was coined, being the late 40's. In essence, he isn't one.This part..I totally didn't comprehend:
"The Punisher" does LESS than most "super heroes", in fact. In the movie, all he did was kill people that killed his family. He'll promise to kill others that hurt other people, but how is that being a hero to anyone? He's a hitman who works for free, an outlaw. Weapondry has absolutely nothing to do with being a "super hero", it's all about what interesting or unique abilities you were born with. Blade, aside from using a sword, uses sai, a glave, and a wide, wide assortment of handguns. Not that it matters.
Lastly, while I am no better than anyone on this board, I do feel that I am the better debater between us. I usually have plenty of valid points, and you just like to throw out your opinions and hope they stick, with no real backing. I've got points on top of points, factual, honest to god points that you could go look up on the internet and find.
I'm sorry if you think I am bragging, or think I have some sort of superiority complex or what have you, but I've been doing this for years on numerous Star Wars and movie boards, and I only get better at making myself heard. [/B]

38,000 over the course of about 4 years, the most being about 400 people on at one given time, and not all of them are going to visit this thread.You unfamiliar with majority rules? How do you think we elect a President? Drawing straws? Paper, Rock, Scissors? If the majority of the people consider his franchise that of a "super heroes", then it is, contrary to one singular belief that is vastly outnumbered. It's the number of votes that matter, not the number of people who don't vote.
Stormy, to miss a point you have to make one, tough guy. And by point, I mean something verifiable, not a really strong opinion or personal conviction, follow up with a 😬
