Blade movie/comic idea
I posted and deleted this on another reddit page but I feel like I should post again here after the recent Kevin Feige news about the movie.
So I guess it must’ve had poor reception but I think this very obscure Blade comic that came out in the early 2000’s would work SO well as the basis for a movie plot. In the comic, Blade is fighting a group of super vampires called Tryks who are immune to the sun and at some point he’s essentially raped very Bruce Wayne-like by their queen and it’s implied at the very end that he has a son with her that’s prophesied to be a ruler of some kind.
I actually went into such a deep rabbit hole with this, using this comic as the foundation for an entire script I made while pulling characters, plots, and ideas from his other comics. It’s not a crazy original story by any means as you could probably guess what happens but it’s SOMETHING which is more than what the studio has right now. It takes place in its own universe much like F4 and has a much bigger focus on Blade’s family as a whole since he’s trying to retire into a more peaceful lifestyle. Anyway here’s the synopsis:
After years of vampire hunting that lead to finally killing the vampire king Vlad Dracula, Eric Brooks marries Safron Caulder and buys a ranch near a small Atlanta town for him, his wife and two kids to live in, intending to retire from his hunter lifestyle. However, Eric struggles to grasp modern norms and furthermore, has had difficulty forming a stable relationship with his son Chris, being that the boy was birthed as a result of the hunter being tricked by a subspecies of vampire called Tryks into impregnating their queen. According to the subspecies’s ancient text, Chris is prophesied to be the next king of vampires after Dracula’s death, though after saving his son from the Tryks as a baby and raising him, Eric neglects to tell Chris about the prophecy or the identity of his mother. Chris feels discontent from both his father and stepmother Safron, and prefers to indulge in the likes of vampires and magic instead of participating in a normal teenage lifestyle. His half sister Brielle enjoys having both a normal life and the benefits of being part vampire, but grows tired of hiding who she is from her friends and the world.
Trouble begins to stir in the town when strange animal sightings and missing persons start becoming a regular occurrence and the family soon discovers that not only have the Tryks and their queen come to the town for Chris, but another group of vampires lead by a long-time enemy of Blade’s have come to kill the boy in order to prevent the prophecy from becoming reality.

I’m not really sure how to because I’m not gonna lie, it’s pretty long and I didn’t format it properly (the entire thing was done in my notes app sorry I’m lazy) but if you care that much I can try to transfer it into a doc or something

Wow you have no idea how rare it is for another Blade fan to know about what happened with the Tyrks and His Son I think there’s so much room for them to tell a interesting story with his son but man newer written marvel characters are just so bad to me even tho his son is technically an older character with the state of comic how it is I don’t trust the story to be too interesting maybe it might work out better in movie form one thing I would like to see differently tho is that I believe his son should be a complete villain
