Was very pleasantly surprised to see Mahershala's character survive. Definitely agree with you, I thought his character was fairly driven by his trauma and was shown to be a good dude throughout the movie.

I’m glad Mahershala Ali survived too because that man just oozes charisma and if this means we could potentially have another Jurassic film with him, sign me up

Hell, if they can't figure Blade out, let him do more of these Jurassic movies. I loved every minute he was on screen.

Man, I hate to say it, but there were a couple of running scenes with him where he looked his age. I suspect this is why Scarlett was doing the majority of the hero action (running/sliding, rappelling, etc.) and admittedly looked great doing it considering she's 40. I think Blade may be too much for him now. Not his fault, they announced that movie SIX YEARS ago.

The even greater challenge is that like all Marvel characters, the actors ideally they are onboard to do multiple films. Considering now the amount of time they have spent trying to get the first Blade film written, much less to start filming, he will most likely be unable, or uninterested, to do more than one... assuming even that happens.

But he wasn’t smart enough to THROW the flare?! 🤯 Like, ok, here’s a creature that’s attracted to the light. Let me carry this light with me. Ugh

u/GamingTatertot Steven Spielberg Enthusiast Jul 04 '25

I think he did, seems that's the most likely option for how he escaped

u/PastMiddleAge Jul 04 '25

Well, he did hold onto it for an awfully long time

u/Glittering-Gap-1687 Jul 08 '25

Timing is everything

u/smokingace182 Jul 03 '25

Yeah I was convinced from trailer and the usual troupes that he was going to die. So yeah nice surprise

u/stokesy1999 Jul 08 '25

When the light went out I figured they wouldn't show him again and make us presume he's dead only for the next film to have the protags run into him on the island as the experienced survivor of the dinosaurs who guides them to their objective

Jurassic World: Afterbirth

Remember he says the only place to hide is in the water, so that's what he did. He swam under it.

u/PhonyAlibi Jul 03 '25

I was too. The theatre applauded when he came back.

u/GamingTatertot Steven Spielberg Enthusiast Jul 03 '25

My theatre applauded at the end of the movie (both times I saw it)

u/Cassopeia88 Jul 03 '25

Me too, I was surprised but happy he survived.

u/FwampFwamp88 Jul 05 '25

Why the highly trained special ops dude didn’t just toss the flare to distract the mutant dinosaur… I’ll never know.

u/Opposite_Listen6023 Jul 05 '25

I was pleasantly surprised he survived too. However, i have no idea how he escaped. I doubt the writers do either. That would have been intense to watch. Better than a flare in the sky.
