Diverging a bit, but then there's only so often you can say "Dobson is a hypocrite and an asshole and he deserves to be miserable and luckily is"...
I think rebooting Blade into the MCU would be a little weird at this point. It could go well or it could go badly. Thinking on it, I think the best thing to do would have been that if Netflix hadn't thrown its toys out of the pram and declined to renew the Marvel series, to start having vampires crop up in one of those. Luke Cage would probably have been a good option... vampires in Harlem, let Luke deal with some of the freaky stuff that he only reluctantly acknowledged when working with Danny and the others. You could even work it off of the angle of where season two left it, he starts running into these powerful vampire movers and shakers and the other crime lords are telling him "These guys are as bad as the Hand, just leave them alone!" Plus it would have made a good synergy to have Blade and Luke work together and/or at odds with each other, much in the way Punisher was introduced in Daredevil.

I have a tumblr that disagrees with you, but I see your point.
I wonder if dudebros-Dobson is gonna be the de-facto strawman now.

Have you seen that picture? It's not good, maybe, but it's a real hoot. Crosby's WW is more of a secret agent than a superhero, and Ricardo Montalban is the improbable bad guy, and wears white suits like he did on Fantasy Island. It was pure 1974 TV Movie of the Week, and made for MST3k. Supergirl isn't great in the way Superman was, and the magic angle was dopey, but the editing it where it really falls down (it runs long, and always felt too slow). It qualifies as a picture with a stronk female lead. Two if you count the villain.

He used strawmen so much that the strawman turned into him.

Honestly, I just don't see a Blade TV series taking off, even with all the fun Netflix shows we got. Mostly because, does anyone even remember when Blade had it's own TV series? My god that shit sucked hard.

See, I bet that both the Reality Stone and the Time Stone will be ways for Marvel to loop both Blade and X-Men into the MCU.

Dobsons actually very simular to various angry neckbeards he rallies against, the issue isnt what they're raging against. It's that their response is grossly dispraportionate. Marvel 'woke' capship is a buy the numbers and a symptom of some of the larger problems of holywood at the moment but it isnt really worth getting upset about one way or another.
Dobson almost certainly resents and comparison between himself and the angry neckbeards because it reveals the basic truth they're two sides of the same coin.
Maybe...just maybe these films are dumb forgettable shit which have nothing to say rather than an important social issue?

Most Marvel comics are forgettable unless there’s something important.

I just like the implication that media is just self-insert fantasies and the color of the protagonist or their genitals determines "who it's for". The solution allegedly being massive waves of self-inserts for minorities and women until the scales balance.....despite this premise needing you to accept that white men don't want to get off the horse making the idea anyone else would willingly get off questionable at best.
Moral of the story? If you want to be Bruce Wayne or Peter Parker, seek help. Not only are they broken messes of men but you seem to have issues separating reality from fiction. Same with any action movie protagonist.

I don't think I've projected onto a fictional character since I was 12. It most likely says a lot more about the modern world that our escapism is some clown in a suit fighting computer graphics to maintain the status quo. Say what you want about Thanos but at least he had a plan.

Lets be real, only reason these people project themselves on these characters and stop me if you heard this one before. They are utter failures in life who havent really contributed in any way, be it having a real job to sustain themselves (or their folks if they have no means to move out) or just doing anything beneficial to actually help people.

Fedora... check.
Tubby... check.
Scruffy beard... check.
Opinionated, sheltered, privileged asshole with an overblown ego..? Check, check, check and check.
Dobson is so much his own strawman that he has become a scarecrow. A fat, bald scarecrow, but a scarecrow nonetheless.

Many of these whackjobs are in it for themselves and those like them. It also says a lot about their mentality when they want characters to look exactly like them, even if it means to change the skin color of said character. @The tired cat, when the very people he support turn on him. I forget who said it, but the same people who heap praises will be the same to watch your downfall. After all, people want to be entertained.

Yes, but that's no reason to say the Netflix version would have sucked. The Blade TV show was made for like, weekend afternoon TV, and its quality reflected that. They got some nobody rapper trying to make the transition to acting to play Blade, they went with a weird angle of shoving in a new female character that kind of upstaged him as the main protagonist, it was just bad all around. There's no indication that Netflix would have approached it from such a shoddy angle, so no reason to think a Blade series wouldn't have worked. It would work better than as a movie, I think, because all the MCU movies have been with the aim of integrating together. But Blade does not fit in with the Avengers, let's face it. But he could fit in with the Defenders. Blade's whole thing is so separate from what the rest of the Movie Level heroes do that he'd wind up largely separate and only referencing events from the wider movies anyway, and that's kind of how the Netflix stuff worked already.
