I still don't follow. If you make an average vampire for everything, then there is no comparison since they're all the same.Dooey Jo wrote:Of course, but since there are so many different myths and types, maybe making an "average" vampire would be an easier approach.neoolong wrote:Yes, but then you just have to use what you're given.Dooey Jo wrote: I don't know. Easy classification or "scientific" purposes. Perhaps just for the hell of it. If one can compare different types of sci-fi universes, why vampire myths, too?
Which may be why some things are dropped when creating characters. However, some things are stupider than others.Yep. But the idea that vampires have to pick up every grain of rice if you throw it in front of him is quite stupid too. I guess the general population back then was pretty stupid. If the general population believed in that stuff, that is...That's my point. It's an inherently stupid idea since things don't maintain consistent value or price.
So I've heard, but I haven't read unfortunately.[/quote]He's different in the comic.And I got my sense of him from the movie.
He's also fairly different from movie to comic too. More so than other comic book characters I'd reckon. Probably because he's less well-known. That and the comic wasn't all that great.
Who cares, it's an action movie Might as well make it as cool as possible![/quote]C'mon, which is more realistic, a sword or a lightsabre?The thing I based on the cartoon would be my previous statement that they should have kept his lightsabre which I found cooler than the sword. And I stand by that statement.
Then why not give Rambo a tank. That'd look cool. You still have to make the movie follow the style you set. In the cartoon there was a whole bunch of futuristic technology like energy weapons. That isn't how it is in the movie.
I noticed that, otherwise they wouldn't have made a sequel. Blade 2 is a horror movie? They probably just called it horror because it has vampires in it and vampires traditionally are horror characters. Just like most episodes of Buffy which really is action or drama and not horror.[/quote]Considering that the first one did quite well, and the makers seemed happy enough with the movie, they didn't think it could be better if they changed genre. Even Blade 2, which is the "horror" one, is still heavily action oriented.No, I judge it by what I see and then try to come up with ideas on how they could've made it better.
Out of the two so far, Blade 2 is more horror. Neither is strictly horror, that's why I used quotation marks. At least that's the impression I got from the director. Besides, why use Guillermo Del Toro if you're not going to have some horror.
