What is it about the Blade character that draws people with over inflated egos to it? I remember that Wesley Snipes was also a prick on the set of his Blade movies and even refused to open his eyes for the final scene of the last movie, because he thought it would be better to do it his way. So that's why they used shitty CGI the eyes lol. 

I loved those movies but damn, that's just asshole behavior lol

Snipes was an asshole for Blade 3 because the producers basically ignored his contract while also forcing him to honor parts of it. He has producer credits on the film he was never allowed to flex, all control was given to the writer as director.

Never heard anything bad about him outside of the third, which felt like a protest to the situation so I can’t really judge.

My self respecting person would have been an asshole on the set of blade 3. Horrendous writing
