I cannot recall right now exactly where I read it but Snipes said that Blade's tattoos were inspired by a particular wrestler. -- 109.78.197.54 (talk) 19:15, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
Also it was influential, according to tattoo historian Matt Lodder of the University of Essex: "Really iconic. Like, I think one of the reasons you saw, like, spiky tribal everywhere in the late '90s and early 2000s is because loads of people had seen "Blade" and thought it looked awesome." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.78.197.54 (talk) 19:57, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
Attribution
See Misplaced Pages:Copying within Misplaced Pages. This article was clearly created by copying from other Misplaced Pages articles. That's acceptable and it has come together quite nicely but some effort should be made to make attribution clearer. Another editor already moved the article to draft space and requested that it be properly attributed before moving out of draft space but it was moved out of draft space before that happened. A template such as {{Copied}} (with details specified) or similar may need to be added to the top of this Talk page. -- 109.78.197.54 (talk) 19:34, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

Blade (New Line franchise character) → Blade (1998 film series character) – While this article has historically used alternative titles with "New Line" in the DAB (which is not even the complete name of New Line Cinema), I am not convinced that this is the most beneficial or recognizable disambiguation for this subject. In accordance with WP:FILMCHARACTERS, the most relevant franchise title ought to be used. Because this article primarily covers Wesley Snipes' portrayal of the role (from the 1998 film to 2024, with only a one season spin-off TV show in 2006 played by Sticky Fingaz), I am proposing a title change to one more closely associated with the film series rather than putting more preference and WP:UNDUEWEIGHT on one of the studios behind it. The New Line alt DABs can obviously remain as helpful search term redirects, alongside one with a "Wesley Snipes" DAB, which would not be in line with FILMCHAR due to its preference to use film, film series, or franchise DABs.
Comment: Honestly, I'm not really thrilled by the others with their (1978 film series) or (1989 film series) titles. The name is a really rough summary that phrases itself as a film series only existed in 1978 or 1989. While I agree the New Line Cinema item is not something the average reader would understand the character as being from, I'm not sure that 1998 film series is really great either.

Oppose - I find "(*year* film series...)" to be very ambiguous because series span multiple years. Also, this is a franchise character, not a strictly film series character, so that part is just inaccurate. -- Netoholic@06:09, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
