I was watching the opening to the movie Blade and I watched the scene where that vamp woman takes that guy into that rave club, and leaves him for dead pretty much in that crowd of vampires. I watched as the fire sprinklers sprayed all of that blood down on the rave crowd, and the horror of that innocent guy as all the vamps where reacting to him. I also watched in glee as that innocent guy fell down and then looked up to see Blade who proceeded to kick vampire butt.

The way the film looked and felt...it seemed like it could have fit quite well in the Buffy and Angel 'verse. If you can...watch it and you will see what I mean. The Vamps are dusted just like in Buffy and Angel.

Would it not have nice to see Buffy or Faith in the role of Blade rather than Blade himself? Just wondering...

I've got nothing against Blade, as he's pretty bad ass himself and all, but yeah. I'd rather see Buffy and Faith fold socks or do just about anything instead of Blade.

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

I was already a Buffy fan before I ever saw the Blade movies.
He's always seemed like a substitute slayer to me.

Kinda makes me wonder if he and Angel would have been able to stand each other.

I was talking about the movies.
As you mentioned, the comic book history of the character has survived decades in the hands of many different writers and artists.
I was a comic book fan before I was a Buffy fan, but I never really liked Blade (the comic). I checked out the movies, actually only because of discussion on this very forum, and had the aforementioned reaction.
It's just my opinion.

Well...I don't know. I still think they should have made a Blade movie where Blade is in New York fighting a group of really clever and a very intelligent vampire group bent on world domination (aren't they always?) and Blade nearly loses his life trying to stop them, and his life would have ended if not for that group of Slayers lead by Faith or Buffy hadn't investigated the rumor of a "Day Walker" in New York city, and came to see for themselves and ended up in the middle of the conflict which also saves Blades life.

I think it IS possible to merge the Buffy and Angel 'verse with the Blade world. Matter of fact I think that idea is pregnant with all sorts of possibilities.

I think Blade in his own right is a Slayer, and a champion and having him with Buffy's group would add whole new dimensions to any movie.

What bothers me a little is that a series that ran for 7 seasons (Buffy) and 5 seasons (Angel) did not produce one movie. This is a bad thing. Joss should have given us one movie for the road after Angel ended with a combination of Buffy, Angel, Blade, and all the new Slayers in an all-out-stop the-world-from-ending movie. It would have been nice and it would have been a fine ending for the series plus, maybe have given us a few more spin-offs shows.

But what do I know?

That's a GREAT thought, but there must have been no way for Joss to pull it off, or I think he woulda done it.
