Except Blade is part of the MCu now since Deadpool 3 But I think the analogy may be being stretched

  Ahh, figures. As soon as I said it I thought it likely that Marvel had roped it in at some point. Nothing is safe! Just wait til we get Star-Lord (Guardians of the Galaxy) accidentally facing off against some Jedi just so a writer can make some "Hans shot first" "inside" joke in some "way overshot the time travel to long ago in a galaxy far far away" plot...basically a movie to set up the joke in a trailer.

    I'm just so relieved that Disney didn't buy Star Trek. Was slightly concerned by an offhand remark from the Doctor in the most recent Doctor Who series who made an off-hand comment about dropping in on the Star Trek people.

      Coincidentally, Doctor Who has an unusual system where individual writers own the copyright to some of the characters they introduce, which means there's a lot of not-very-good spinoff novels (and an Australian TV show) featuring only that authors' characters.

        Not sure that's the case now, but certainly was the case in the 60s and 70s with BBCs terms at the time.

  Which raises the question of why none of the other heroes ever help him with all those vampires.

Spider-Man belongs to Marvel, but is on conditional perpetual loan to Sony, who can optionaly loan it back to Marvel/Disney. Sony has to release a Spider-Man movie every N months, or they lose the license, and will probably never get it again, since Marvel started making their own films and now they're part of Disney. This is why Sony keeps making reboot trilogies. Better to shovel something out than to lose the license forever. It does make a nice backstory for the Spider-Verse though.
