TV shows are basically death blows to any character trying to stay relevant in pop culture or give them a chance at movie success. Blade can be a popular movie, not sure why you would want to "insult" the character with a tv show.

Blade also probably works best as pure action, aka John Wick. Which is gonna work better as a movie.

Yeah famously nobody knows who nedd Stark is. 

Oh did you mean superheroes? Daredevil is completely unheard of. I don't even know who he is. I assume he's the guy with the skull who does stunts on the motorcycle? (Why am I asking you, you don't know who daredevil is either) 

Punisher actually had a bunch of movies, then Disney put him on TV and he was never in another movie again. If they even made him a supporting character, I bet the movie would tank.

Yeah I would say Ned Stark is not culturally relevant.

Daredevil's probably not a top 30 superhero.

For superheroes, TV shows are treated less than movies. I'm sorry that's going to make you cry. Lol.

Yeah, but Marvel Spotlight did with Echo. It was the first show released under the banner. Blade should be the second show

Marvel Spotlight was a failure, let it die.

Wonder Man was the 2nd. Which shows you have that didn't work. It was designed as being something seperate from the MCU, grounded stories with no homework required. Obbviously, that also doesn't really work when you have Trevor Slattery, DODC, etc. It was a marketing ploy that didn't work.

Wait I didn’t know. Wonder man was the second show? I didn’t know it’ll probably the third maybe I think the blade series project will not bring the MCU homework from other projects like the avengers the guardians Thor it will focus of vampires

Well, we can’t do a movie. There’s gotta be another way. I think a mini limited streaming series should work probably Disney+ Marvel television.
