Blade changed the game for superhero cinema, in many ways building the foundation for what would become one of the biggest genres in modern Hollywood. The original 1998 movie starring Wesley Snipes as the titular Daywalker embraced the best parts of the comic books, leaning into horror and epic action elements while maintaining hints of Marvel’s signature humor. All this perfectly worked together to make Blade the biggest surprise hit in Marvel’s film history, giving the company the confidence to pursue other cinematic ventures like Spider-Man and X-Men. This all led up to the inception of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the biggest franchise of all time.Blade’s success led to a trilogy of films that expanded on the lore of the original 1998 movie. The film also launched Blade’s popularity, keeping the character in the cultural zeitgeist long enough for Marvel to bring Snipes’s character back for a cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine. There are also plans to reboot the character in the MCU with Mahershala Ali taking over the role. However, even the most die-hard Marvel fans may not be familiar with one of the most underrated Blade continuations, which expanded the franchise’s lore in a major way.Blade: The Series may not have become the cultural phenomenon that the films did, but it did include several intriguing plot points that fans of the original franchise will like. Specifically, the show delved into the deep lore of Blade’s vampires, including the growing divide between “purebloods” and the “turned.” Purebloods, vampires who are born and not turned, are shown to be the ruling class of vampire society, lording their power over the turned humans, who became vampires when they were bitten or injected with another vampire’s blood.
