They could do a specific modern comic look (a small piece man thing has sort of attached itself to him as a sidekick) and just say "hey obviously we're going to release a Blade again, just not this version" and be done with it. I don't think anyone thinks they'll never release another Silver Surfer because of the Galactus Haslab.
I think it would have been a strong value add, especially if it was included in the base, but I get not wanting to trade the potential "unreleasable otherwise" figures for a character that is definitely able to survive at retail.
As far as Mahershala goes, this seems like a passion project for him, from what I understand he basically used the momentum from his Oscar win to push this movie specifically, he isn't the factor in the movie I'm worried about. Cruise seems to be doing fine with Mission Impossible, Daniel Craig in Bond, Arnold was still putting out good stuff into his late 40s, I think Mahershala will be able to hang. My bigger worry was that they attached a director who hasn't done really anything, let alone an action movie, and that Marvel is gonna turn it into a CGI fest. Get Gareth Evans from The Raid on this, then we could really be cooking with gas.
That all said, of all the ways the Blade movie could suck, ending up like a lazy late era Seagal movie is probably the best way it could suck.
I appreciate your point and while I don’t read current books, it sounds like there is a legitimate relationship between the two characters. Given Dan’s twitter proclamation that the tiers would be of the “demonic persuasion,” I doubt the Daywalker will turn up, but I’m not one to ever turn down a Blade fig; I’m a fan. All that said, I’m really hoping that a Daimon Hellstrom and Blackheart are added to this Lab. I was beside myself with joy regarding the addition of Morg in the Galactus Lab and I’m hoping to be rewarded again.
About Mahershala, I agree, I seriously doubt he would be the reason for any movie failing. And, despite his age, I’m very happy he is Blade and hope the movie is executed well. I know Feige didn’t create the phenomenon of sequels, as Hollywood milked franchises long before the MCU showed up. However, Feige has added an insidious, to me, new wrinkle in casting for a decade worth of sequels and taking this approach with nearly every character/franchise. I personally believe this to be a mistake that plays a role in, at the very least, part of the fatigue that is finally setting in with the broader base of MCU fandom. A fatigue that set in with me years ago. Marvel’s tapestry stretches far and wide and rather than seeing multiple movies about the same characters, I’ve long since believed one-offs would make for a welcome change.
