Unfortunately, his explanation just proves what most fans have feared: Marvel is making Blade way more complicated than it needs to be. In a recent interview with press, Feige admitted that the MCU’s struggles with quality over quantity could partially be blamed for Blade’s delays. It had to be unique.”Feige’s hesitation to go where fans might expect is the very thing that’s put Blade so off-course. Of the “three or four” versions of Blade Marvel’s worked on in the past six years, two were set in the past, with one in particular in the 1930s. Even with so many imitators, Blade remains singular; Marvel’s attempts to add further complexity betray a huge miscalculation on Feige’s part.
