Agreed. This very clearly covers just the movie version, and barely even acknowledges the comic.
Home of CBR Rumbles-in-Exile: rumbles.fr.yuku.com
I've made the namespace adjustments for /Film, /Comicbook and /Series.
Should this page be broken up into tropes across all movies and then tropes for the individual movies like a lot of other series pages? It's getting a bit scrolly.

The temperature of the UV laser mentioned under "Convection Schmonvection" is not a hyberbole. Actually, your average oxyacetylene torch flame is literally half as hot as the surface of the Sun (photosphere) [3000 degrees C in comparison to 6000 deg. on the Sun's surface tops]. And the welders don't have much problem holding such devices a few inches from their faces, so I suppose it is not the issue of Conv. Schmonv.
Should his mom's incestuous behavior really be considered Unfortunate implications? I never took the scene as implying something racist or sexist. Rather, I took it as a sign that vampirism turns people into Anything that Moves types. Her behavior is an offshoot of the attitude that create bisexual vampire women, in other words. So I vote to change this to an Anything that Moves trope rather than an Unfortunate Implications trope.
This should be moved to "Film", since it only refers to the movies. Blade from the comic books is a very different character from his movie counterpart, both in terms of personality and in terms of powers (that is, he didn't have any, except for immunity to a vampire's bite; later, he gained the ability to sense magic, and later still he gained enhanced speed, strength and regeneration).
