Only bad news tonight was Mahershalla Ali as Blade. Not because I don't want him as Blade, but because he was Cottonmouth in Luke Cage. Idk how to feel about that. So much for "it's all connected"...

The most disappointing thing in this slate is the fact that it just gave a middle finger to the Netflix properties by casting Mahershala Ali as Blade after he was Cottonmouth in Luke Cage. The Netflix shows arenβt even a part of the MCU and that makes me so sad.

"Mahershala Ali is the new Blade in the MCU!"

Me: Oh fuck, that's awesome! But wait, he was already Cottonmouth in Season 1 of Luke Cage--

I know people are saying the Netflix shows don't count anymore because Luke Cage and the new Blade share an actor...but remember that Luke Cage and Captain America: Civil War share an actor too (Alfre Woodard)I doubt they will make the Netflix shows non-canon. pic.twitter.com/7mf5e6kYAL

So, I guess then Blade is Cottonmouth's unseen twin brother? #LukeCage https://t.co/somJKlWxnL

So Cotton Mouth in #Netflix Luke Cage was #Blade all along
