Yea blade ,ghost rider and punisher are sadly “too scary” for people. I mean not really but I’m sure you’ll have crybabies on Twitter saying how it promotes something. Idk.
Honestly a girl ghost rider would look badass
It's not that they're scary, but that they're "toxic". They kill monsters without hesitation and in the current climate every other wacko deems the hideous monster some allegory of the week, and has the humans be the evil problematic stand-in. It's what inevitably ruined the X-Men too. I don't get it, it's gotten way too weird for me at this point.

And there is a GR gal from a forgotten run:

Multiple GRs can work, but not every title is a mantle. Some characters are just that, singular beings. But no, everyone's gotta be a "mantle" so they can keep milking the brand and replacing the actors in this current CBM era.
 
The idea of PG13 Blade makes me laugh.

They should leave this franchise alone. Cause you know what theyll do to it. That is, nothing good.


Might get some cool figures out of it. Barring good figures, maybe some good loose parts in the sets will be unique and interesting.

Might spark enough retro interest for HT to release a figure from Blade I ( with the original vest, shotgun and Ingram with compensator)

I was lukewarm about Terminator Salvation. But we got some pretty cool figures. And the figures that weren't as interesting in full sets, the others usually had some interesting loose parts.

But yes, Blade shouting "Stop! What the heck!" like Tilly from Star Trek Discovery might break my will and spirit in half.

But what will the MSRP be? That's another knotty question. When the HT Blade 2 came out, circa 2010-ish or so, it was around 150. We aren't ever seeing that again. But I will say this, even a reboot Blade figure is odds on going to have a lot of accessories. Which is a good thing for us collectors.
 
The Dark Knight trilogy
Jaws
Casino Royale
Bourne Ultimatum
A Quiet Place
Insidious
Drag Me To Hell
Split
The Ring remake
Kong Skull Island
Poltergeist
The Grudge remake
Sucker Punch
Taken

All PG-13
 
PG-13 didn't exist when JAWS came out but with the blood and nudity it'd be R today. Poltergeist also predated the existence of the rating but I'm sure that'd be R today too.

PG-13 movies of today are tamer than the PG movies of yesterday.

New Dune and AWOW have tons of combat and are both virtually bloodless. Same with the Dark Knight films. It'll be awesome watching Blade slice a guy off screen with just the music getting loud for a second like when Ledger Joker killed Michael Jai White, lol.
 
Was just trying to make a point that you can have an intense pg13 experience. I just listed the ones I knew and grabbed the others off an internet list. Being in Australia it’s hard to know because PG-13 films mostly become M rated in Oz but some become MA. Jaws is M in Australia. I still can’t believe that Drag Me To Hell was PG13 (although there was an unrated version as well).

But of course I want an r rated Blade :)

Those all sound like movies about bad relationships.

Jaws - A young married couple both get braces. No more foreplay. Without risk.
Casino Royale - Two people secretly in love with other, working at a Burger King in Amsterdam while scheming to rob a high stakes poker game
Bourne Ultimatum - A guy named Bourne who didn't offer an engagement ring after four years.
A Quiet Place - Post divorce, living alone, but still paying alimony
Insidious - A film about in laws coming to live with you. Permanently
Drag Me To Hell - A film about couples counseling and the joy of scrap booking
Split - A triple jointed gymnast has an on again/off again tryst with a banana distributor
The Ring remake - A cautionary tale about a third marriage to the exact same person.
Kong Skull Island - A painful exploration of a Korean destination wedding
Poltergeist - Mother in law wins the lottery and son in law is deep in financial debt, then they have an afffair
The Grudge remake - Guy dates his best friends ex girlfriend. Then they are all stuck in a elevator together. A container of Valtrex falls to the floor and they all begin to weep.
Sucker Punch - Paternity test goes very wrong. Will LaChad the 18th recover? ( A descendant from TDK ....)
Taken - She's got a boyfriend and an engagement ring. Then Ryan Gosling shows up with interest and she's torn, except it's not Ryan Gosling, it's his twin - LaChad Gosling

You’re definitely under the influence of some narcotic.

Haha outstanding. I didn’t know Seth Rogen was on the boards.

This Blade rating discussion parallels that of Deadpool. Both Deadpool movies were rated R and it also seems pointless for Disney to tone down the violence & profanity in that franchise. The R rating didn't prevent those films from being box office hits. Clean up their acts when they show up in Avengers type team-ups, but in the meantime just write good scripts that are true to the characters. It's not rocket surgery. :wink1:
 
The original Blade being one of the very rare comic book movies I've watched, and rarer still, liked, my bigger concern isn't that it's PG13 (which I think is a mistake) but that it's one of these Disney MCU things. Guarantees I won't be watching it.
