I wasnt too hung up over Cage playing the part not to enjoy the movie for what is was worth, but I did think he was a little on the older side to be Blaze.

Yes the 70' series started to give more Rider and less Blaze. Then in the 90's GR series with Dan Ketch as the Rider, they started to make Blaze into an Easy Rider wannabe for awhile. Then they reset it to Blaze as the Rider a few years before the movie came out. The last GR comic series where they revealed the Rider is an agent of Heaven was mediocre and the current series that started with Blaze purging himself of the Rider isn't that great and is being canned as of issue 9.

Blaze for years in the comics has had the personality of oatmeal and from the last series to the current series the way he's written it looks like they shaved some IQ points off of him too. Granted he was never an Einstein, but the way the portray him now.....ick.

Depower Blaze for good as the Rider and restore Dan Ketch.

Just rewatched the trailer for the upcoming movie, the kid that Blaze is trying to save is named Danny..... hmmm
