History YMMV / BladeTrinity

** Dracula's claim that he watched the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ will amuse any ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' fans since they took the piss out of it [[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E3SchoolHard seven years earlier]].

* {{Narm}}: Blade's reaction to [[spoiler:Whistler's death]] ruins what otherwise could have been a heartbreaking moment. It has Blade letting out an over-the-top DeathWail and then doubling over while pelvic thrusting. He then does a squat which makes it look like he's taking a dump and immediately goes into a fighting stance.

* VindicatedByHistory: Not so much the movie in general, but Hannibal King specifically, especially in the wake of Creator/RyanReynolds's [[Film/Deadpool2016 most famous role]]. At the time of the film's release he wasn't an especially well-liked character; these days he's generally regarded as the best thing about the film, or at worst, an entertaining character who had the misfortune to be stuck in the wrong type of film.

* BadassDecay: It's become surprisingly easy for humans to beat up vampires. Even when the vampires are much, much larger than Creator/RyanReynolds. Look no further than Abigail Whistler for proof of this: in spite of her feminine physique, she can still kick multiple Vamps across the room with minimal effort. Even Blade struggled in the first film when stripped of his weapons. Then again, she has considerable trouble with Danica's group. It's the vampire mooks she mows down.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Creator/RyanReynolds is given copious amounts of screen time to deliver ad-libbed wisecracks despite being a sidekick. Fans are a bit divided as to whether this dragged the film down, helped redeem an otherwise mediocre film, or both.

** James Remar and Dominic Purcell are both in this film. The would later go on to star in [[Series/BlackLightning2018 DC]] [[Series/LegendsOfTomorrow shows]].

* SpecialEffectFailure: At one point, Blade opens what appears to be his obviously CGI eyes. Wesley Snipes apparently refused to open his eyes for the camera, necessitating replacement eyes in post.

* HilariousInHindsight: Everything Creator/RyanReynolds says, which makes fans think he is Film/{{Deadpool|2016}} in disguise after watching the Deadpool movies first.

* ReplacementScrappy: The Nightstalkers gang replaced the much more popular Whistler, who wound up [[DroppedABridgeOnHim under the bridge]] to make room them. This is likely part of the reason for their poor reception.

* TheScrappy: The entire Nightstalkers gang (with the arguable exception of Hannibal King) are quite disliked in the franchise's fandom, as they are perceived to be basically a SpotlightStealingSquad which turns Blade into a secondary character in his own film and takes away both his badassery and his wisecracking to give them to King and Abigail.
