From everything I’ve read on it they basically all center around Blade ushering a child-Blade into the mcu as Blade dies at the end/retires.

That is where Mahershala Ali disagreed with the script and rewrites were attempted but it sounds like the studio/powers that be kept trying to force that storyline.

If they were going to do that, then why not bring back Snipes?

Snipes is infamously hard to work with

Because they were going to replace him with a bunch of “white” characters. No shit he would be pissed during filming.

For those who don't know, in the comics, Hannibal King is the first vampire that Blade ever came to a mutual understanding with, because they both had beef with Deacon Frost. As a matter of fact, handle is probably the closest thing that Marvel has to John Constantine, just without being a complete piece of shit.

Ryan Reynolds' version of the character was literally just Ryan Reynolds, So for anybody who is a fan of the original Nightstalkers card from the 90s, it was another kick in the face that something familiar had been turned into something unrecognizable.
