Kang got hit on a metoo rap, but losing blade is a crime. And wonder man would have been some dope shit

I do think it's funny that Kang, a character who is infamous for having a multitude of appearances from his various incarnations through history, simply couldn't be portrayed by a different actor

they made the brilliant decision in Loki that every version of him had to be played by the same guy

They could’ve easily retconned that if they really wanted to. I’m not really sure all that many people watched that show anyway.

Loki was watched the most out of all the shows, and the record for highest viewers on Disney+.

I agree they could retcon, but it was a really well received/watched show.

I totally get that Kang got scrapped because Majors is an abuser. With that said, as you said, Blade would have been an easy win and scrapping three movies with Black main protagonists still smells like bullshit to me.

I believe Blade had some problems with developing it (aka Disney/Marvel didn't give a shit and didn't push to get the movie made except for just early casting and script writting). Then that Deadpool movie happened with Wesley Snipes returning as Blade (that movie was just a bunch of marvel references the movie), and then Disney decided to scrap the Blade reboot.

I heard that the extras in Sinners wore costumes that were originally going to be used for the Blade reboot.

That could be true. I think a Blade reboot was sort of going to be hard to make because you already have Disney being racist and having zero interest in POC heroes/characters. And there were the Original Blade Trilogy Fans who wanted something like the first two Blade movies instead of the usual MCU stuff.

It sucks, too, because Blade was one of those iconic early successes in comic movies.
