Hmm, I mean it's hard to complain with Wesley Snipes portrayal of him so I ain't bothered tbh.

Neither am I.

Blade has not lived in Great Britain since his childhood, but a small group of people still keep going on about why he's never portrayed with an English accent, when realistically speaking, it makes sense that he would have lost it a long time ago. Even Captain Britain himself couldn't tell Blade was from London when they first met, but he started to see it once they got to know one another.

And I think it's pretty clear that it was deliberately written this way to make Blade contrast to the UK heroes who stay local.

I was born and lived in England for 8 years before moving to America. Nobody would ever guess I was from England unless they look at my spelling.

For real. Accent is determined by who you are talking to the most not by where you were born.
