History Headscratchers / BladeTrilogy

* Deacon Frost is running around with his super sunscreen. But wait... What about his eyes? Or the inside of his mouth? Or the skin under his hair?
** He's a walking corpse. I see no reason why he couldn't cover all those places with screen too. It's not like he has to care about irritation.
*** The Vampires in Blade are specifically stated to be the virus kind (not the mythical walking corpse one) and no kind of sunblock is going to keep out out all UV radiation. The whole scene didn't make much sense -- one smudge or missed spot and he is toast, also the implications for the setting of such a substance are completely ignored afterward.
*** The fact that Blade could smell the sunblock on him from about six feet away means that he was slathered in the stuff. And the protection it conveyed was only temporary.
*** Yup, it was probably the strongest stuff on the market, or even stronger if we assume Deacon has access to stuff the vampires are developing that's not actually for the human market. And it still only gets him about a minute or two in sunlight.
** If you look at how Nyssa turns to dust in film two it seems likely that Vamp eyeballs carry a high immunity to sunlight; burning only ''after'' her body had nearly completely combusted.
** He could have also been wearing full-eye contact lenses to help shield him.

* Abigail Whistler wears an ''[=iPod=]'' to fight. Apparently it gets her 'in the mood' which is a ''[[SarcasmMode great]]'' explanation for completely cutting off your ability to hear in a fight with super powered creatures possessing super senses. You'd ''obviously'' want to handicap yourself in a fight like that, right?
** I've always thought that the Nightstalkers were ''supposed'' to come off as stupid (Blade even calls them on it). [[FridgeBrilliance This is why they die a lot.]]
** For that matter, does it bug anyone that it should have been called Scooby Doo: Trinity? Think about it, Abigail is Daphne, Sommerfield is Velma, Zoe is Scooby and Hannibal is definitely Scrappy...
*** What about Shaggy and Fred?
*** Hannibal was definitely Shaggy, not Scrappy. He wasn't nearly as annoying, and had nothing to do with them. Hell, other than a few tiny traits, those were nothing like them, that's a pretty bashful way of thinking about them. As for the original question, its not that she's an idiot who wants to handicap herself, its that, basically, they're still new to this slaying thing. As seen by her breaking down after two particularly traumatizing events. Each one was a little dorky or strange, because they were still relitivly young compared to Blade, whose been doing this for a long time. As far as they see it, get some silver, garlic, or UV tech, go out looking for Vampires, and start killing.
** A few alternative possibilities. One, her earbuds are specifically modified to not totally block sounds from her surroundings. Two, she's specifically trained herself to not rely on audio cues to know something is near her. Three, because of her being just trained enough, she wears them specifically to block ambient sounds to prevent herself from jumping at a sound and risking a friend.
* Why do none of the elder pureblood vampires try to fight their way out of Frost's temple, or shake off his guards? They seem entriely complicit in his plans, even though it is clear that he intends to kill them. You'd think none of them had any superhuman capabilities (or even much of a survival instinct).
** [[@/{{Earnest}} I've]] got this pet theory that AuthorityEqualsAsskicking isn't true for all vampires. Yeah, settings like the World Of Darkness drone on and on about [[FoodChainOfEvil nightmarishly powerful elders]], but I think it's just as likely that a vampire born to power will never actually bother to "work out" their super powers, combat skills, and other personal protections skills since they're surrounded by bodyguards, just like politicians in real life.
*** There's another question; where were the elders' bodyguards? The way the film shows it, Frost pretty much just politely asks them to come with him so he can sacrifice them, and they just go along with it with no resistance whatsoever. Nothing is ever seen or mentioned of any other pureblood vampires protecting their leaders (purebloods also [[InformedAbility supposedly]] possess powers that turned vampires don't have, a detail which widens the plot hole by its absence). Also, when Dragonetti catches Frost in an off-limits area, why does he do ''nothing'' to punish him or stop him?
*** Whistler says that "There's something happening in the vampire ranks. something big". It sounds to me like Frost is gathering followers, most likely with a promise of equality for turned vampires, as that seems a sore point between vampires. The House of Erebus seems far too arrogant and snobbish to realize that their servants are being turned against them. As for why Dragonetti doesn't punish Frost for trespassing? Maybe Frost is already an uncommonly powerful vampire, seeing as he can dodge bullets while other vampires are ashed by Blade's gun. Frost is no longer intimidated by the Elders and that scares them.
*** Note that this is a bigger advantage than it might seem. All the exotic special powers in the world don't matter if Deacon Frost can simply respond with "I go first and kill you dead before you can do anything meaningful." Doesn't explain why the elders just stayed in their assigned ritual spots, though.
** The first answer is almost certainly correct: These ''special powers'' the Elders have are nothing more than propaganda designed to keep the masses in line. Look at Damiskinos in the second film who is supposed to be the oldest and wisest and therefore strongest correct? Yet he dies just as easily as all the rest. True he was going up against a genetically engineered Super Vampire but there wasn't even a ''hint'' of being superior to a standard Vamp when at worst he should have been Blade's equal and at best he should have displayed something approaching La Magra style abilities.
* If Blade knew that Scud was a traitor the whole time, then why didn't he kill him earlier? It's not as if Scud's betrayal gave him any kind of advantage. For that matter, why did he seem surprised when the bomb didn't work, and why didn't he detonate it when it was still in the vampire's head?
** Keeping Scud alive means Blade can backtrack his communications to the other vampires. Its actually a fairly common technique in the intelligence community to hide the fact that you've discovered an enemy mole and use him to ferret out his contacts, feed them false information, or otherwise use him against his handlers without them realizing it. As for not detonating the bomb, Blade probably didn't expect Scud to actually tamper with it, and had to switch detonators. By the time he switched detonators, Scud had the bomb instead.
** Blade outright says, "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer." .
** There's also the fact that for Scud to maintain his cover, he needs to keep helping Blade build vampire-killing equipment. Equipment Blade would have still been able to use and replicate once Scud had outlived his usefulness (to either the vampires or to Blade himself). Blade probably rather enjoyed using a vampire double agent to make vampire-killing weapons.
*** And for that matter why did Blade still have the detonator on him? When they brought him and Whistler to their lair they took their guns, gadgets, and Blade's sword, but they did take the detonators?
*** Vampires all have a sense of the dramatic. The servants instructed to frisk Blade were probably told to leave the detonator, as according to Scud, it was harmless. (And even if it wasn't, it could kill at most one person.) That way Scud could have done his little dramatic reveal, everyone could have smirked at Blade's stupidity and probably done a shared evil laugh. Just turns out Blade ''wasn't'' stupid.
* In the second film, the vampires need to team up with Blade in order to destroy the new, superpowerful vampires. Alright, fair enough. When they go to a vampire nightclub, Blade expresses disbelief since he can't see its sigil, causing the vampires to state that his activities have forced them to adopt more secretive methods. Makes sense. [[TooDumbToLive Then they explicitly teach him how to see through their new line of defense.]] Wait, what?
** They can just come up with something else. Though I have the hilarious image of 'em putting sigils on dozens of likely-looking buildings in every city. The actual nightclubs will be hidden behind a party supply store.
** Desperate times. They need Blade's help to defeat the super-vamps and they're already running on a severe deficit of trust. If Blade had asked them how they know this place is a vampire club and they had said "just trust me, it is" Blade would have become suspicious. He might have concluded that the story about the super-vamps was all an elaborate charade and the moment he stepped through the door of the "club" a hundred machine guns would open up on him or something.
** They also appear to need a special device to see in this spectrum in the film. In [[Series/BladeTheSeries the series]], though, they just have to focus a little to see in UV.
** They were planning on betraying him the whole time. Even Nyssa, whose only shock was that Nomak was her brother and, thus, that her father was prepared to kill his own children; though she had come to respect Blade, she seemingly knew both that the Reapers were designed and that they were going to harvest Blade's blood. They are GenreBlind, but not TooDumbToLive
*** I'm not sure that Nyssa knew about the Reapers' origins; consider her reactions to the foetuses when Damaskinos reveals them.
** The crux of the plan was to kill Blade and harvest his blood as soon as the job was done, so Damaskinos was probably not too concerned.

* In the first film after Blade rescues the little Asian girl instead of helping her find her parents he just tells her "go home". How does he know that Frost didn't kidnapped her from like 100 miles from her house? I can excuse not taking her to the police but...damn Blade, at least ask her if she's hurt after being THROWN THROUGH GLASS! Don't just be a douche-bag!
** That's kind of his main character trait.
** If the girl had been kidnapped from a 100 miles away she probably would have said "I don't know how" or something when Blade told her to go home.
** Why would Frost go that far to kidnap someone? He's based in that city, so why would he go 100 miles out of his way to grab some random kid when there's gotta be plenty in the nearby area. Hell, if I'm not mistaken, that scene took place in/near a playground. He probably grabbed her from just offscreen.
*** Blade's friend works in Chinatown and that girl is clearly Chinese. Frost grabbed the nearest child to him at the time.

* In the second movie, its fairly obvious that Vampires are redeemable and are not necessarily {{always chaotic evil}}. They're more akin to drug addicts and criminals. If they got their fix, a peaceful solution could easily be found. For instance, humans could donate blood at certain pre-determined levels and the vamps pledge to not kill humans. Yet, no one ever seems to suggest or even think of the possibility of a solution like this.
** Individual vampires might be redeemable, but the vampire hierarchy and organization isn't willing to acknowledge humans as equals, which this would imply. The leaders are power hungry, arrogant, and they want to have ''power'' over humans.
** Blade does lose any character development he might have gained in the second film, but his quest to destroy vampires is still pretty justified. Even though every German soldier in WWII wasn't a true believer, they were still fighting to support an evil empire. Vampires that support their society's evil actions must be fought like enemy combatants. We also don't see any hint that there are peaceful vampires who only feed on voluntarily donated blood. If there are, then Blade's not going after them.
** What it really boils down to is that Blade's a SociopathicHero who enjoys killing vampires for its own sake. This makes sense, as Whistler's entire quest for vengeance stems from victimization by a vampire drifter. Blade's basically just [[LaserGuidedTykebomb the extension of Whistler's desire for revenge]]; it's not surprising that he doesn't consider the idea of seeking coexistence since he's been taught since very young that vampires are altogether monstrous and unworthy of life, and that killing a turned vampire is an act of mercy. The second movie is in fact the only time Blade ever is introduced to vampire culture and has to consider the idea that they are individuals as well. Evidently he decided that although Nyssa was perhaps an exception, vampires still, on the whole, deserve a painful death.
** The overwhelming majority of vampires are ''clearly'' depicted as remorseless psychopathic serial murderers, and even the "redeemable" ones like Nyssa are likely responsible for hundreds if not thousands of deaths, and she ''still'' was part of a plot to betray him. Turned vampires seem especially bad which is likely in part because they are usually chosen from familiars, ie. people who ''want to be'' evil bloodsucking monsters, so they pretty much ''do'' deserve a painful death. The vampire cultural in ''Blade II'' is downright ''terrifying'' - genetic experimentation, nightclub with murder and feeding, arrogant Mad Scientists out to make vampires even ''more'' dangerous....even most of the individual vampires are utter dicks. And they barely age, are murderous, and secretly rule the world and engage repeatedly in homicidal debauchery. He's not a SociopathicHero for killing them.
*** Note that, in all their various super-high-tech attempts to eliminate vampiric vulnerabilities, make their kind unbeatable in combat, and/or elevate themselves to godhood, ''not one'' of the factions Blade goes up against ever even seems to consider, y'know, ''removing their bloodthirst'' as a possible line of research. This, despite their being well aware that Blade's serum came close to achieving this goal: a serum that was developed using nothing more than a cheap, kludged-together biochem lab Whistler'd thrown together in a garage.
** Even if Vampires are not automatically AlwaysChaoticEvil it still makes sense that the majority of the vampires we see in the films are evil, because of Sampling Bias. In this universe only people who are bitten and survive become vampires, so the only people who would be added to the ranks of the vampire nation, besides the occasional rare human who manages to escape after being bitten, are the people the vampires CHOOSE to turn. And of course, they would largely choose to turn people who would embrace the vampire lifestyle, people who already show sociopathic murderous tendencies, or who would sacrifice their morals for power and long life, like their many familiars. Any "normal" non sociopathic person who became a vampire would likely not last long, either taking care of themselves through suicide, being killed by other vampires, or finding some way to live in hiding without the need to kill, if they don't eventually give into their urges. So it is actually reasonable to assume that the vast majority of *active* vampires in the world embrace their vampirism and are consciously evil.
** We don't see Blade killing any vampires that are getting their blood through nonviolent means.
** The first movie showed that the elders were perfectly content with living in somewhat harmony with the human population as they warned Frost about trying to become more prominent as the humans would make their lives a living hell. So, though they may not have been "good guy" vampires, they were logical and knew not to push their boundaries too far and found a common ground with the humans.
*** That "common ground" was massive corruption that they used to cover up their freewheeling murder of humans (you think that was animal blood in the sprinkler system at the rave?). The vampires in the first movie were not living in harmony with humans, they were just quietly oppressing humans with the help of human collaborators willing to sacrifice their own kind for power and wealth.
*** The vampire elders call out Frost for having the nightclubs, since they would prefer to avoid attracting attention, even if they do not care about the humans dying.
* At the end of the second film, Blade has to let Nyssa die, as she is infected by the Reaper bite from Novak, to finally kill off the Reaper strain. But...during his little "tour" through Vampire HQ, Novak munched on a good few dozen people. There'd be ''loads'' of Reapers downstairs, ready to start the whole problem up again.
** All those people were explicitly confirmed to be human 'familiars', which CAN be drained by Reapers- but only vampires who get assaulted can become Reapers. Presumably human familiars are less likely to betray Damaskinos than vampire goons.
** How do you know it doesn't work on humans?
*** Because the lawyer specifically says "The vampire victims don't die. They Turn." Plus, you don't KNOW that Blade didn't go back through the entire building re-murdering every single one of them. The film cuts to black.
*** That doesn't mean Humans don't turn, just that vampires do. Nyssa was emphasizing the threat that the reapers posed, so that Blade would care about stopping them before they munched on all the vampires first. On the other hand, how easily a human would turn into a reaper is still open to question. A vampire can turn in as little as 20 minutes, but a human's body doesn't change as quickly (e.g. no regeneration). I'm probably thinking too far into this, but maybe the reaper virus can only work on a vampire because they can mutate fast enough and survive the process.
** Blade probably either went back in and killed them, or he just closed the place up and waited a few days for them to die of their accelerated metabolisms, or, and this is probably the most likely, planted a bunch of explosives and blew the place to hell at high noon.
* Near the beginning of the first film, the police seem pretty cavalier about shooting at a man carrying a hostage. Half a dozen officers unload multiple clips (inside a hospital, no less) without any apparent consideration to the woman he was carrying away. They even have one officer using an assault rifle which he would have to assume would go right through his target (if he hit) and the woman.
** I always wondered if those cops weren't really working for the vampires (knowingly or maybe some unknowingly) and were told to kill Blade with no regard for Karen's safety.
** And, you know, this is a Marvel Universe-based film. TropeCodifier for HumansAreBastards. How many times has ComicBook/{{Magneto}} been proven right again??
* In the first movie, why is the ancient vampire temple located in the suburbs of a major American city? This temple is supposed to be so old that the vampire council doesn't even remember it. It is described in the dead language on the vampire scrolls that are at least thousands of years old. Are we supposed to assume that the vampires, descending from Drake (from Blade 3) in the middle east or Europe just wandered over to North America to build their temple and it just so happened that a few thousand years later a major American city was built right next door and apparently somebody built a modern entrance/exit over it that Blade and the girl exit through at the end of the movie? Also, the bowl/sink that collected Blade's blood looked a lot like stainless steel. The temple had to have been found in order for there to be that modern door. That would make it one of the greatest archeological finds in history so it would be hard to keep it secret. Don't say the discovery was covered up by the vampires because the council didn't know about it.
** It's possible that Frost found it and had these things put in. Apologies if that is stupid due to some plot point this troper is forgetting; it's been about a year since I last saw the first one.
*** It's not the actual temple, it's a replica that Frost had built. The blueprints for it are shown earlier in the movie and it's mentioned several times that Frost is building something big.
* When Nyssa examines the Reaper, a species that has never been dissected before, she describes it in a way that she would a lecture that she's done a hundred times. How the heck is she supposed to know that only the tongue carries the virus?
** She probably has access to some biological knowledge of the Reapers, considering that they were created by the vampires. Damoskinos probably forwarded what they knew about the Reapers' biology to the team, so she would have some working knowledge of their capabilities.
* In Blade I, Blade drinks blood for the first time in years and becomes powerful enough to fight through Frost's army of vampire mooks. Thing is though, he kills many of them by punching or kicking them a few times, and that's apparently enough to turn them to dust?
** Actually we hear snapping and see him breaking a few necks, presumably thats enough to dust some of them?
** Blade appears to gets a dramatic boost to his physical strength after consuming blood; look at what happened after he got dumped in the blood pool in the second movie. He was literally killing Damoskinos' familiars with flicks of his wrists. So, after drinking blood, Blade probably ''was'' strong enough to kill vampires with his bare hands just by punching or kicking them.

* In the second movie the vampires attempt to dissect Blade in order to obtain "the key" to his unique condition. Wait, don't they know that Blade was born the way he was because his mother was bitten at the end of her pregnancy?
** They may know that, but a direct analysis might let them directly recreate the condition genetically instead of going through all that tricky setup.
*** A tricky setup that would do absolutely no good for vampires that already exist.
** They want his blood so they can replicate the unique daywalker traits, and apply them via genetic therapy to all vampires. The whole point of the movie is that they tried that already, and kinda-sorta failed with Nomak.
*** The novelisation of ''Trinity'' elaborates on just how much of a fluke Blade's mere existence actually is; apparently Frost had a habit of drinking from older vampires as well as humans that caused some subtle mutation in his own biology that other vampires have been unable to properly identify. Blade even reflects that he's heard tales of vampires trying to recreate the circumstances of his origin, but they ended with either the vampire mother eating her human infant after it was born or the vampire foetus draining its mother from the inside; Blade's survival was a relative fluke that nobody on either side has any true idea how to replicate.

* What was the villains' plan in ''Trinity''? They go dig up Drake and then... they keep him in a room. They don't seem to discuss anything all that important with him, and they do not study his physiology or anything. What was the point? We also get the vague idea of vampires taking over and putting people into storage to be used as sources of blood, but no explanation for how they would do this on large scale.
** Dracula is basically Blade with ShapeShifter powers and a penchant for blood. I assume they believed that, by bringing him back, let him feed a little, and then let him wonder the streets to see what the world is like, they believed they could convince him to kill Blade for them so they could get on with their final solution.
** I don't think they had much of a plan. They seemed like the least organized group of vampires out of the movies. Frost and Damaskinos had more in depth plans and defenses, the Talos crew seemed like bored aristocrats.

* Why the hell does Nyssa peacefully let herself be bitten at the end of the second movie? She could at least have tried to run... I mean, dammit, 10 seconds later and Blade woulda saved her [[strike:hot]] sorry ass.
** Because she wanted to die. She expected her brother to ''kill'' her, not turn her into a Reaper.
*** Why did she want to die? Does the film ever provide a motivation? It's been a while so I might just have forgotten.
*** Her father's betrayal of Nomak and lying to her pretty much destroyed her perception of the world. In that moment, the halfbreed Daywalker she'd been training for years to fight became more respectable and worthy to her than the entirety of the society and culture she grew up in. Everything she'd lived for was shown to be a lie so she didn't want to live with that.

* What exactly is the Record Keeper in the first movie? How could a Vampire get so horrifically obese? How does he feed?
** If I recall correctly, in the making video, they say that the other vampires bring children to him. Combine that with a sedentary lifestyle over the centuries and...
*** Truly one of the most vile vampires in the series.
** The cop familiar mentions over his radio that he was making a deliver to Pearl (the record keeper) when he encountered Blade. If he doesn't eat children, he definitely gets his blood packets delivered.
* As much as I hate to borrow so much as a single concept from Twilight there is one thing that interests me: Why doesn't Blade drink animal blood? as far as I am aware it is never stated that the Blade universe Vampires can only feed on humans. Before anyone states the obvious, ''yes'' Blade probably would consider drinking ''any'' kind of blood offensive, but given the choice between that increasingly lethal serum he had in the first movie, does it really make sense to choose death when his mothers killer was still on the loose? Incidentally does the blood actually have to be drunk? A black pudding is essentially solid pigs blood and I am going to assume Blade still has a digestive system.

* The alternate ending to ''Trinity'' bugs the hell out of me. In the theatrical ending, Drake gives Blade a parting gift in the form of shapeshifting to look like Blade in his dying moments, so that Blade can escape and be presumed dead by the authorities. The alternate ending - that the creators seem to treat as canon as it is forced as the default into every DVD release and every television airing of the movie, has Blade enter into a hibernation and waking up on the autopsy table. But they keep Drake's line about giving Blade a "parting gift", and when they find Blade's body, Drake's is no where to be found (in the original, this meant that Blade was gone and shape-shifted Drake was still there). What the hell was Drake talking about when he told Blade he was giving him a gift? Where the hell did his body go?

* In the first movie Blade visits the hospital where they brought Quinn to finish the vampire (he says so). Wait, if he was going to kill Quinn anyway, what the point of setting him on fire and then leaving him instead of killing him right away? What the hell did Blade think would happen except for Quinn harming more people and probably escaping before he could get to him (like he eventually did)?
** Blade's first encounter with Quinn has him saying something like, "You just don't stay down. I'm going to try fire this time," indicating he thought/hoped that the fire would do in Quinn. But the paramedics arrive before that can happen and put Quinn out. Then Blade has to finish him off, because his first method, the fire, was cut short.
** I wonder if he'd tried, oh, I don't know, ''chopping Quinn's head off'', like he did in the finale.
** I think he's been trying to get to Frost via Quinn. Quinn is just a servant, one that Blade knows about and can chase again and again. Blade says he's been tracking Frost for a long time. He only killed Quinn when he had found Frost himself.
** It could also be somewhat interpreted as Blade trying to make him suffer an agonizing death (by fire), but the paramedics/police interrupting them.

* In the first movie, in the scene inside the temple, the blonde vampire girl kills one of the vampire elders when he pisses her off, but they needed all twelve alive for the ceremony. Did they brought a spare just in case? If this is the case, the movie doesn't seem to make it clear. Or maybe I didn't catch it because was confused by all the different characters on screen.
** Maybe they didn't, and as a result, the ritual was left incomplete and Frost only became semi-godlike, thus allowing Blade to beat him. NiceJobFixingItVillain!
* In ''Trinity'', Hedges said that he theorizes that Drake can shapeshift saying "he has thousands of tiny bones like snakes" How could he know this? the whole "what drake looks like" Hannibal shows makes sense, especially in the extended cut where he shows the Nightstalkers have tons of artifacts relating to how Drake looks, but the shapeshifting is never mentioned during that ExpositionDump, which would have been definite info they would have shared with Blade at that point.
** The simplest answer is that the Blade movies work on action movie rules, where characters are expected to do said exposition dumps for the sake of the audience whether there's any plausible way they'd know the information or not. A few people may complain when said inexplicable info dumps are too inexplicable, but as the reaction to ''Signs'' shows us far more people complain when the inexplicable info dumps are absent.
* In Film/BladeTrinity, Hannibal King states he was a vampire for 5 years and then was given a cure to make him human again. Why wasn't he killed like any other vampire when confronted by a vampire hunter? And why don't the Nightstalkers try to cure more people? Surely there's plenty of victims who'd like to be human again.

* In the opening act in the first film, when Blade raids the Bloodbath rave, several random partygoers recognize Blade and attack him, despite being unarmed while Blade is covered in body armor and weapons. And the security team that responds to Blade's attack is not much better equipped, as they possess light arms and no protection themselves. Why are these vampires so willing to throw away their unlives for virtually no gain, as they clearly know who he is and therefore would know how outclassed they are compared to him.
* How did Pearl [[WouldHurtAChild supposedly eat all those kids]] if he can't even walk? Did Frost bring them to him?
* In ''Blade 2'' after being cured, Whistler reaches behind a medical scale to retrieve his wedding ring which he presumably stashed there. Thing is... they aren't in their old hideout. They aren't even on the same continent. Did Blade just ship across the Atlantic a giant medical scale for no reason just coz it had Whistler's wedding ring ducktaped behind it?

** They also appear to need a special device to see in this spectrum in the film. In [[Series/{{Blade}} the series]], though, they just have to focus a little to see in UV.

As for anyone who becomes a vampire reluctantly or by accident, they probably takes care of themselves through suicide or finding a way to survive without needing to kill, if they don't just end up eventually embracing their urges.
