Anybody else think the Legion scene kinda ripped off of Blade?


I just watched this and I couldn't help but to think that the scene where all the souls pass through him and eventually end up in him was a true ripoff of the scene where Deacon frost absorbs all the souls of the pure blood vampires and becomes La Magra or the Blood God... I mean in ghost rider the guy's eyes even turn completely blood red just like Frost's did in Blade...

Here's the panel in which Blackheart made his comic book debut, back in the late Eighties (a full decade before the Blade movie) in an issue of Daredevil;

As you can see, he doesn't look human. He has black-blue spiky skin, a tail, and a mouthless face with red eyes. So when Blackheart undergoes his transformation at the climax of this movie and develops black spiky skin and glowing red eyes, the film-makers are actually referencing his appearance in the original comics.

What about the scene where Blackheart word for word ripped off Deacon Frost's "All of our strengths, none of our weaknesses." line?
