Blade vs. V

lol I wouldn't call it ground breaking, at all. But it was very well thought out.

I'm talking about the character. My favorite comic book character to screen actor, to date, is Robert Downey Jr.'s portrayal of Tony Stark.

He is to. 😐

Being cool just happens to be something that is decided by the masses and the masses spoke overwhelmingly in favor of Batman, over Blade.

On top of that, he is cooler in the old-school sense of the world "cool", as in, he's chill, and in control of shit around him with style. Not martial arts style, but high-style. He's a friggin' billionaire.

So, in both uses of the word "cool" as you and I are using it, Batman is cooler.

Snipes owned Blade more than anyone else has in comic book adaptions. Yes, that includes Ledger, Stewart, Eckhart, Downey Jr., etc.

That's an opinion only held by you. You're the first person I've ever met that said that.

IMO, Blade is not nearly as close to the actual comic book character as, say, Downey Jr.'s, Bale, McGuire, etc. etc. etc. He is pretty far off, compared to some of the others. That's just my opinion...as saying something Snipes did with Blades' character that was out of character to the comic book version, is fairly subjective.

He may not have stole the scene to the extent as Ledger did but Snipes defined what Blade was. He recreated the character. His mannerism, costume, weapons, martial arts, voice, etc.

Blade II is a highly slept on comic book adaption. Easily top ten material.

See, I don't get it, then.

If you're trying to say that the movie character was accurate to the comic book character, then we disagree as I feel there's many others that did better at representing their comic book characters. If you're saying that you liked the impact or the "wow" factor from the actor's protrayal of the comic book character, then Ledger would be an easy choice...so would Downey.

1.To me it was. I had yet to see a suit before that onscreen that was capable of flight like that. Not to mention the suit looked much realler than the Transformers a year before.

That's cool. Downey Jr. did a fantastic job portraying the character.

2.Batman's 2 films>Blade's trilogy, plus not as many people were exposed to Blade as they were Batman. Batman, being an established character in filmloir, comicdom, and general media whereas Blade did exist in a comic title but Snipes(and the director/producers) reinvented the character.

Batman is more popular. Blade is cooler.

3.This is all MY opinion. Like I said, "slept on".

Again, he REINVENTED the character. Since you like to kin to what the masses think, most who read the comic version say that particular Blade sucks. The movies gave the character life.

4.Understand, the Joker IS a wow factor. It's not a surprise that Ledger stole the show(Hamill and Nicholson did too).

For example, almost everyone agrees the Blade: Trinity was shit as a film overall. But you'd be lying if you cut everything out but Blade's scenes and said that it was not a great start. All the scenes with Snipes kept the film breathing. It was everything else that let it down.

undoubtedly Blade

The only Reason blade wins this fight is that he ahs no weaknesses. Except the bloodlust and Bleeding out(which takes a considerable amount of damage to accomplish). Since they are closely matched and all blade has to do is slice v a few times, blade wins. Cuz we know that V is vulnerable to gunfire(bullet proof armor not withstanding). But V is still cooler.

Blade is a definately a low-mid metahuman. V is at best peak human, he won't be able to overcome his much physically superior opponent. Plus, the fact that Blade is very well trained in combat.

1. I'd like to point out that I agree that blade would win, but this post is filled with inaccuracies.

YouTube video
He takes the accumulative bullets from about fifteen men, then procedes to kill them all with knives before they can reload. In case you're wondering, that's within seconds for a trained SAS member.

fifteen special ops units within seconds. After enduring all of their firepower (he was bulletproofed to an extent but still...) Think about that.

He then holds a fully grown middle aged man above the ground for a bit of dialogue and snaps his neck.

Tell me that V isn't very well trained in combat, and that he's only "peak human"

Blade's head cut off would kill him I believe. I don't think they are all that closely matched. Sure V is fast but we know that Blade can dodge bullets at close range. Strength, agility, skill, weapons, blunt force durability, etc. isn't comparable. Blade has considerable edges in all of these areas.

V IS more intelligent without a doubt, but I doubt he's a smarter/better tactitian and fighter than Blade in combat. He's also better at stealth but I doubt he'll be sneaking up on an elite superhuman Vampire slaying legend.

Blade is cooler. Although V for Vendetta is a great film and V is a great character. He doesn't touch Blade in the coolness department.

Blade is cheesier, for sure, though.

Lame. It's a rip-off, somewhat, of Samuel L. Mother ****in' Jackson.

Not really fair, as that guy way overuses the "mother****er" line.

In Blade's case, I just think the writer/director just wanted to cement on us that Blade is indeed a negro, cos that's how those people talk.

Good fight, no idea on who wins though, could probably swing either way.

Blade wins.....easily.
