Compare and contrast Essay

Blade and Underworld are two movies that are the same but also very different. They are both vampire themed but can be proved to be very different based on plot. Blade is a movie trilogy that is about a half human half vampire whose name is blade and he tries to go against the vampires to save the humans. Underworld an ongoing movie series and currently has four movies out currently and on its fifth. This series is about how Lycans( werewolves) and vampires having a war and due to this humans start to notice this and starts trying to eradicate both species.
Blade ‘day walker’ has the benefits of the humans with walking in the day and the strength of a vampire but the thirst of one too. He is out to help save humanity because the vampire race wants to farm humans for food. Then the vampires find and revive Dracula the first vampire but this makes a new vampire strain to come about and makes it harder to kill. The series ends with blade killing Dracula. Comparatively, Underworld is also about vampires too with Selene being the heroine but, contrastingly, going after the descendant of the original bloodline of the first Lycan and vampire. Trying to find him causes an all-out war to get him. Once found he then gets bit by a Lycan and a vampire becoming a hybrid. Him and Selene fall for each other and end up defeating all of the Lycan and vampire powerful ones including the original. They get caught by the humans in the last one with their daughter who is a hybrid as well.
Other than the vampire theme of each movie their plot can be seen as to be very different entirely. Blade is entirely about vampires compared to Underworld which was about vampires and Lycans. Furthermore, similarly both main characters are vampires though they are not the same; blade is a half vampire, half human vs. Selene is full vampire.
