| 1 | * FranchiseKiller: Though the audience reception improved as the season went on, the ratings weren't good enough to pull the franchise out of the hole that ''Film/BladeTrinity'' had put it in, meaning that its cancellation proved the end of the line for the 1998-2006 ''Blade'' continuity. The title character would be absent from screens for the better part of two decades, until a ContinuityReboot as part of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse was announced. |
| 2 | * TheOtherDarrin: |
| 3 | ** Kirk Jones replaced Creator/WesleySnipes in the title role for the television series. |
| 4 | ** The same goes in the Japanese dub, as Creator/HisaoEgawa voiced the titular hero, rather than Creator/AkioOtsuka from the films. This is especially strange here, as Ohtsuka has voiced him in all the films and also including [[Anime/MarvelAnimeBlade the animated adaptation]]. |
| 5 | ** This also happens in the Latin American Spanish dub, but this time, the dub was done in Argentina, rather than Mexico from the films. |
| 6 | * RecycledTheSeries: Based fully on the [[Film/BladeTrilogy films]]. |
| 7 | * ScrewedByTheNetwork: While it wasn't mindblowingly great, it was still a very decent TV show with what you'd expect to see from something bearing the name ''Blade'', and was [[GrowingTheBeard improving steadily in quality]]. Sadly, Spike TV didn't see it that way from the ratings and pulled the plug, leaving the series unresolved. Budget could also have been a consideration, as for several years after this all of Spike TV's programming was testosterone-fueled sports programming and similarly based reality shows. |
