There’s a bit in ‘deadpool and wolverine’ where they’re in the multidimensional junkyard and characters from marvel properties with aborted film projects also end up there. So like ‘blade’, and the various attempted ‘fantastic four’ movies.
I actually quite liked all of them to some degree. I even enjoyed the awful CGI rubber ninjas fight scene; I know the movement was unrealistic but I was young enough that I figured it was superhuman vampire flexibility. However, I agree that the first one was the best.
Trinity was my second introduction to Ryan Reynolds, so that helped some. (I’m pretty sure I first saw him in Van Wilder.) Also Wesley Snipes saying “gootchie goo” to a baby was pretty hilarious, though reflecting on that I’m not sure they ever explained how he got that child back to its mother.
Also, I think Natasha Lyonne was in that. I knew I recognized her when my wife started watching OitNB, but it took me forever to figure out why.
The “rubber ninjas” instantly ruined the film for me. That scene is seared into my memory, and takes second place after the entirety of The Phantom Menace for film betrayal.
Like I mentioned, I honestly kind of enjoyed it as I was able to explain away the lack of reality. What really bothered me was, I think right before it, Whistler comes out with some sort of big firearm, then just stands there while a ninja knocks it out of his hands and slaps him in the face.
Again, I explained it away to myself (vampire ninja has superspeed, standing still was just meant to demonstrate that) but, even if that was what was intended, it just wasn’t very well done.
Is this from Blade 4?

Well, the latest F4 hasn’t been abandoned yet.
They’ve tried like ten times and they’re always bad.

It should
Aw… I really liked First Steps. One of the few genuinely artistic pieces of film to emerge from the Marvel Slop Farm since COVID.
I also liked it. Only gripe I have is Reed didn’t get a whole lot of stretch time :^(
Pretty confident it’s from Deadpool and Wolverine.
Can’t believe I forgot about that. Best Blade movie since the original.

Well, I guess I’m about to watch Blade 3 again.

Oh my shit, he has an opening dialogue.
