Quote: Originally Posted by LordSimen Everything you just stated Singer did, Blade did before it. But Blade wasn't nearly as successful as X-Men was.

Blade was successful because of the popularity of Snipes (And I am no way taking away the fact that Blade was a good movie). Plus, X-Men met with a lot of positive reviews, where Blade was mixed. I guarantee studios didn't look at Blade and X-Men the same way. Once X-Men rocked the shit out of people with a great story, acting, and directing (and no major stars) studios realized they could safely bank on a comic book franchise.
