My questions about Blade that reveal it makes no sense


Yeah, I wanted to return to my old format as well, but holy cow is this movie stupid, in the name of 'cool'.

It raises so many questions, they don't even fit here without pastebin, but here are a few:

- Why would Blade put the woman to wake up in his damn WEAPON room, where she could VERY EASILY injure herself or steal his guns or whatnot? Why? What's the reason?

- So people dress up with all this fancy 'rave gear' just to dance like idiots in the cruelty industry-plant (and openly push around human carcasses together with the animal ones).. only to ruin their clothes with the 'bloodbath' crap? What? Why? Wouldn't they rather be without make-up, without fancy gear, dresses or clothes, in either skimpy clothing, naked, half-naked or in some kind of 'rain coat' stuff?

Who goes through all that trouble just to ruin it all?

I mean, vampires behaving as if they're just 'normal ravers' makes no sense, because they shouldn't be so easily amused. Remember, these people consider regular people as 'cattle', so they feel they are superior to the 'cattle', so why behave like them in the first place?

Even if they're not that much more sophisticated than the 'cattle', why would they mimic their behaviour and dance to THAT non-music noise, while dressing in fancy clothes that will be ruined? It makes no sense. Would women really bring their expensive jewelry, earrings, put on make-up and all, just for it all to be splattered in blood.. or wouldn't they rather leave them off so they won't get ruined or at least so they don't have to try to get blood out of them (= useless extra toil)?

- Why is the doorman at the very entrance to the dance hall and NOT outside the building, like HE SHOULD BE, if anything made any sense? Why does he require Traci Lords' character to kiss the guy before he agrees to open the door? It's a very WTF-moment. Why does Traci's character YELL at the doorman? What's the argument about?
