@andrewjpalla do you think KKK members would watch a Blade movie anyways? Besides I feel like Marvel can live without the KKK demographic, “The KKK is bad actually!” isn’t exactly biting political commentary it’s stating the obvious. Right up marvel’s alley.
This was already a perfect 10/10 pitch just based on the plot, and then you mentioned that the three leads are all irl friends with history? And you're giving Njobu backstory?? And you're bringing in Monica freaking Lynne???? Easily 100/10!! Absolutely amazing!!!
I can't wait for the flood of people angry that Nando is making Blade "political" and that the KKK are portrayed as villains. Great movie idea, nice adaption of the Black Panther comic btw. Edit: i found two comments crying how it's woke 🤣
@@willmackinnon9397with this movie pitch being set in the 80s, Moon Knight would still be Ethan Hawke’s character. Khonshu’s previous avatar in the MCU before Marc Spector.
This is such a great idea. Nando, I’m manifesting as hard as I can that someone from Marvel sees your videos and see how talented you are and brings you in. You deserve it.
Again... Sterling K Brown and Susan Kelechi Watson as a subtle fan cast is GENIUS, they have amazing chemistry on This is Us and already were such an interesting couple in that show
I would prefer if the Sterling K Brown was used more of a cameo for the first fight, and then just let Blade deal with the more supernatural side of the conflict on his own. The connection is fun and definitely appreciated, but the secrecy of vampires and also it just being his first movie, I feel like Blade on his own would work better.
I can't recall if he explains it in the video (it's been a few weeks since I watched this video on Nebula), but the blank space is almost certainly intentional, wanting to keep the villains specifically a secret. In the Nebula video, he actually requested people not talk about the villains or plot until the video was up on UA-cam because he wanted the story and beats to be a surprise.
@@harrower7746 A few more examples: - In an episode of Batman: The Animated Series, we find out Bruce Wayne’s role model as a vigilante was a show he watched as a kid about a hero called “The Gray Ghost.” Simon Trent (the in-universe actor who played the character) was voiced by Adam West from the 60s Batman show. - In The Boys comics, Hugh Campbell’s appearance & character was based on Simon Pegg, then the actor played Hughie’s dad in the TV series. - Donald Glover was the inspiration for Miles Morales when he tweeted a desire to play Spider-Man & wore Spidey pajamas in the Community S2 premiere. In Spider-Man: Homecoming, he played Miles’ uncle-Aaron Davis, then in Across the Spider-Verse, he cameos wearing The Prowler suit (Aaron’s criminal alter ego).
It was up about 2, maybe 3 hrs before the reupload. Was waiting in line in to see Wicked, got out and wanted to finish the video and didn’t see it anywhere in my viewing history or search lol
Nando I always love these pitches but this is pure S tier. Blade in Alabama, the Eric name, fixing the continuity errors of previous Marvel products: You have outdone yourself.
Dude! Sign me up! This ties in perfectly with Black Panther comics from my childhood and the past/current MCU titles you connected (especially the Eternals hanging Chad of a post credits scene) and it has a totally original storyline we've yet to see anything like in the MCU. This is my favorite of your pitches yet.
A real nice post credit scene to this could be Blade's conversation with Dane Whitman that was hinted at the end of Eternals. That movie has so many loose ends that deserve to be tied up(I'm the few people who liked that movie and want it to get its continuation). The convo could also just be a final scene with a time-jump to present day instead, since having two connected post credits would be weird and confusing
I genuinely would love to see this movie! It'd be a terrifying look at this period of recent history with a badass vampire slaying adventure on top. Though, I'd love if Werewolf by night was hinted at or if he showed up in the end credits or something like that.
A few things: Why can Nathan Garrett wield the ebony blade? It’s a very important part of its history that he was never able to wield it and it sat in his attic until Dane found it. There is genuinely nothing Nathan Garrett about Nathan Garret despite his spying days being mentioned. No flying horse, no beam lance, nothing. Why is he using magic like he’s some kind of wizard??? Everything about this pitch is great… except for every part involving Black Knight and the ebony blade, and I say this as a huge Black Knight fan.
It doesn't necessarily have to match comic persona, but if its not even relatively close they could make a character up for the position - or tie in a random character unrelated to Blade that matches the character
I'd absolutely watch this movie, just like I'd watch pretty much every other thing you've pitched. It's a crime that you haven't gotten hired to actually pitch, write, or script doctor for some movie studio or other.
I love this. I would love to see Blade be revealed to be Wakandan. Don’t know how that would go over with comic fans but it would be a cool connection. Maybe Blades sword/ weapons are vibranium and vibranium can be effective against the undead?
I love this pitch! So new and interesting. It hits every point, interesting ideas, ticks all boxes and wraps it up together in a nice big bow. Love it!
I like background stuff tying it to the MCU, but I’m not crazy about the plot. Also, the finale’s setting has a been-there feel. The vampire movies Cirque du Freak and The Lost Boys are amusement park adjacent, so you’re going to invite comparisons. Why not have Dracula’s son decide to try his idea out on someplace smaller as a test run? If successful, they can use it as a staging ground. The perfect place exists: Puerto Rico. It hasn’t been in the MCU, and you can bring in Puerto Rico’s resident superhero, White Tiger. PR has dozens of celebrations, but the ideal one is Carnaval Ponceño, which is a weeklong carnival exactly like Mardi Gras, ending on Ash Wednesday. In the 1980s, Ash Wednesday dropped in February 7 times. Surely one of those years fits the Black Panther timeline. That way Blade can get a February release just like Black Panther. As a bonus, there is an obscure one-shot Marvel hero called El Vejigante, who is named after the cartoonish clown-demons vejigantes who are intended to scare people into behaving and going to church. Perfect disguises for a horde of vampires trying to take over the city of Ponce. Having Hector Ayala (White Tiger) don one of those outfits in order to protect his secret identity can get us both White Tiger action and a little Easter egg for Marvel trivia aficionados.
My Pitch: Simply Release the Movie 😅 Seriously though I heard a rumor apparently Disney didn't want any blood in this movie😮. Helluva pitch to wanna direct a violent bloodless vampire movie😭. Hopefully Deadpool & Wolverine changed their minds
0:11 That’s where you’re wrong Nando. I’m constantly thinking about G’iah being one of the most powerful characters we’ve met in the MCU and they’re going to have to mention her again at some point. If you can pitch G’iah getting reintroduced into the MCU, hats off.
Idea to fix overpowered G'iah problem: the "Flowers For Algernon" scenario where the character invested with power loses them gradually until becomes weaker than before getting powers.
Man Marvel *NEED* to hire you!! I'm *ALL IN* on this pitch! I especially love getting a previous Black Knight, you can even have Dane in the post credit scene to set up their eventual team up even further!
I feel like this could be great as a tv series as well as a movie. Investigative scenes tend to work really well in episodic format because it's not rushed by having to get to the big action scenes and can be drawn out.
I had a subscription to Nebula. It's pretty bare as far as content goes. My other gripe about Nebula is you can't comment on videos. UA-cam eventually gets these same videos and you can comment on them. Your involvement and interaction is limited on Nebula which makes it weird. I'd stay away from Nebula until they get more and better content and they the ability to comment on videos
Needs a strong reason why Blade can't just tell Dracula Or maybe even a first encounter between Blade and Dracula where Dracula doesn't believe Blade to set up their dynamic for the second and third movie. Great pitch. Love Viggo as Dracula.
I really like this pitch and would definitely watch it if it were real. The only change I would make is characterisation: canonically Blade is traditionally British, so I would bring in a dialect coach of Ali.
I said it before but I'll say it again: Blade and a 'Black Panther' vs the vampire KKK is the kind of idea I'd invest everything in.
I really can’t believe that you’ve had a lot of opportunities to say that. I absolutely agree btw
And have Disney risk a kkk boycott? Yeah right...
@andrewjpalla do you think KKK members would watch a Blade movie anyways? Besides I feel like Marvel can live without the KKK demographic, “The KKK is bad actually!” isn’t exactly biting political commentary it’s stating the obvious. Right up marvel’s alley.
Not the subtlest plot but it’s Disney so I could see it happening.
lowkey Sinners might basically be this
I love this pitch for Blade, especially bringing in N'Jobu to show how he came to be radicalized during his mission in America.
the reason there's a big empty space in the thumbnail is because the production of this video will never be completed, just like the Blade movie 💀
Bruh you literally typing the same comment twice Lol
The movie is filming next year
@@FourmathWe don't know that
@Alexander-es4mx that's what was said last time the movie was in the news
Thar is wild
This was already a perfect 10/10 pitch just based on the plot, and then you mentioned that the three leads are all irl friends with history? And you're giving Njobu backstory?? And you're bringing in Monica freaking Lynne???? Easily 100/10!! Absolutely amazing!!!
"I assure you, there's no vampires in Wakanda."
"You're welcome."
“ In front of all these…cops? I’m guessing.” Very very funny line
historically speaking that is an accurate insult
Also, make sure it's rated-R - BECAUSE EVERY BLADE FAN KNOWS IT NEEDS TO BE RATED-R!
Ps: Great pitch, Nando!
I can't wait for the flood of people angry that Nando is making Blade "political" and that the KKK are portrayed as villains. Great movie idea, nice adaption of the Black Panther comic btw.
Edit: i found two comments crying how it's woke 🤣
There was a really decent joking thread about it being woke to dislike vampires and the KKK on the original one.
I completely hate the whole woke agenda, but his idea isn’t close to being “woke” lol
Babe wake up, Nando reuploaded his pitch for Blade
Vee pfp W
Boy i sure love copyright-caused reuploads.
"your welcome" goes so hard nando
This blade pitch dovetails into your midnightsons pitch nicely
I'll say it again:
Post credit scene of Ethan Hawke Moon Knight demanding that nerd Dracula to give him his money
You mean Oscar Isaac? Lol
@@willmackinnon9397with this movie pitch being set in the 80s, Moon Knight would still be Ethan Hawke’s character. Khonshu’s previous avatar in the MCU before Marc Spector.
And you have gotten a like from me once again, lol.
Nice meme reference
Ethan Hawke isn't Moon Knight
Marvel: WRITE THAT DOWN! WRITE THAT DOWN!
At this point, they NEED to sign you as a lead writer. This concept is literally flawless. I would def watch this Blade film
Great pitch, great cops joke at 13:15
This is such a great idea. Nando, I’m manifesting as hard as I can that someone from Marvel sees your videos and see how talented you are and brings you in. You deserve it.
Again... Sterling K Brown and Susan Kelechi Watson as a subtle fan cast is GENIUS, they have amazing chemistry on This is Us and already were such an interesting couple in that show
Cosign all of this. I legit jumped up when he came on. This needs to be brought to life
"He goes to ask the living vampire what the blood is for" I seriously had to rewind it thought you were trying to put Morbius into this story XD
You SNAPPED. Best pitch I’ve ever seen. I need this injected into my veins.
I would prefer if the Sterling K Brown was used more of a cameo for the first fight, and then just let Blade deal with the more supernatural side of the conflict on his own. The connection is fun and definitely appreciated, but the secrecy of vampires and also it just being his first movie, I feel like Blade on his own would work better.
I still can't get over how cool "Daywalker" is as a nickname
The way you write hypotheticals and use clips from movies hits with my type of neurodivergence
Ugh. Why do so many people make their neurodkversity their whole personality.
He uploaded this twice and still didn’t fix the empty space in the thumbnail.
Great video. Engagement comment
I can't recall if he explains it in the video (it's been a few weeks since I watched this video on Nebula), but the blank space is almost certainly intentional, wanting to keep the villains specifically a secret. In the Nebula video, he actually requested people not talk about the villains or plot until the video was up on UA-cam because he wanted the story and beats to be a surprise.
I’d actually love it if Wesley Snipes could be this Blade’s man in the chair
I like it. Kinda like the 90s Flash coming back as Barry’s dad in the CW show
That's a great call!
We would love it.
I don't think Wesley would be up for it.

Damn... this sounds so damn good. Your story pitches are made with care, love and joy. We need that again in the MCU.
This pitch ticks all the boxes for sure. Love the holy tunnel of love idea so much.
I thought I was going crazy seeing this video get snapped out of existence
When was it up?
It was up about 2, maybe 3 hrs before the reupload. Was waiting in line in to see Wicked, got out and wanted to finish the video and didn’t see it anywhere in my viewing history or search lol
@@rachelknightonline aaah
Once again: Thanks so much for letting us see these pitches that you make for K.E.V.I.N., and I think this is one of your best. Bravo.
Gyaaat daaayyum NANDO!!!! 😤😮💨....YOU HAVE COOKED with this one
Nando I always love these pitches but this is pure S tier. Blade in Alabama, the Eric name, fixing the continuity errors of previous Marvel products: You have outdone yourself.
Exceptional. Always love your pitches, but this has to be your best.
Dude! Sign me up! This ties in perfectly with Black Panther comics from my childhood and the past/current MCU titles you connected (especially the Eternals hanging Chad of a post credits scene) and it has a totally original storyline we've yet to see anything like in the MCU. This is my favorite of your pitches yet.
this is genuinely your best pitch, such a sick script
This pitch is absolute fire, and I'd love Nikolaj Coster-Waldau in the MCU
A real nice post credit scene to this could be Blade's conversation with Dane Whitman that was hinted at the end of Eternals. That movie has so many loose ends that deserve to be tied up(I'm the few people who liked that movie and want it to get its continuation).
The convo could also just be a final scene with a time-jump to present day instead, since having two connected post credits would be weird and confusing
Really liked Eternals. Definitely not the standard MCU movie, which is nice
I genuinely would love to see this movie! It'd be a terrifying look at this period of recent history with a badass vampire slaying adventure on top.
Though, I'd love if Werewolf by night was hinted at or if he showed up in the end credits or something like that.
This would be so fire wow. Ugh I wish marvel actually integrated some of these fan derived pitches that I’ve seen.
Brah Black folks would be in that movie line like it's the Club. Blade and a Wakanda connection, we wouldn't know how to act. 😂
Everyone should watch Scavengers Reign. It's some of the greatest sci-fi I've seen in a long time
This is the first time I’ve watched this video! Very cool!
A few things:
Why can Nathan Garrett wield the ebony blade? It’s a very important part of its history that he was never able to wield it and it sat in his attic until Dane found it.
There is genuinely nothing Nathan Garrett about Nathan Garret despite his spying days being mentioned. No flying horse, no beam lance, nothing. Why is he using magic like he’s some kind of wizard???

I’d love this way more as an actual 6 episode event kinda like peacemaker. It’d work better than the rest of what marvel tried to do with tv.
Loved the callback to early Black Panther
This is the Movie we need to have happen so many current threads tied together so nicely
I have that black panther verses the clan comic book. My dad gave it to me
Nice. Cool dad
Nice editing to make it look like a movie.
Caught the first upload! Great video!
I think this is my favorite pitch of yours, holy moly.
Loved that u used the same couple from This Is Us
I'd absolutely watch this movie, just like I'd watch pretty much every other thing you've pitched. It's a crime that you haven't gotten hired to actually pitch, write, or script doctor for some movie studio or other.
I think Luke Evans would be a great pic for Dracula I mean he's done it before.
only 3 minutes and I'm already sold by Vigo Mortensen being cas as Dracula
Same!
10:11 Captain America reference in the 80s? Are we about to get William Burnside?
Everything about this is just great. Love the idea of an 80's NYC vibe.
This might be the best pitch you have ever done, and you have put out some fantastic pitches before
post credit scene- (in 1980) Blade rescues a kid, the kid's name is Whistler
One of the best pitches I’ve come across
I was already halfway through the first upload 😂
me too. i was getting into it too lol
I love this. I would love to see Blade be revealed to be Wakandan. Don’t know how that would go over with comic fans but it would be a cool connection. Maybe Blades sword/ weapons are vibranium and vibranium can be effective against the undead?

I LOVE THE BLACK PANTHER CALL IN WITH BLADE !!!
I DIDNT know I needed to see BP and Blade but I NEEED to see it
I love these pitch videos. They're always a great time
Awesome pitch, I hope this gets made

i love how you say these random choices like they are obvious lol
The Cosmic Cube tells me that they are!
We live in a world where UA-camrs right better scripts then screenwriters
Yeaaaaaah I dont say this often but you kinda snapped on this
This is so cool, knocked it out the park as always 😎
this might be your best yet
Nando, I LOVE this! Call him, Kevin!

My love for this pitch is profound.
I'm just mad because I know they wont do this. Feige needs to give you the keys man
Nando! You’re a gotdamn maestro!

4:28 "the living vampire" MORBIUS MENTION?????
i gotta stop watching these, im never gonna see a movie as close as what could be

commenting and liking for ur algo even tho i already watched

"Youre welcome 😐" LOL
