Months After Both The Blood Hunt And Venom War Events…

Empathy is a bitch

I just realized that, although I love the 2012 Dark Shadows movie, for some people that movie is their 2021 Morbius.

Reasons I like it: It’s Johnny Depp, in a vampire movie, set in the late 60s early 70s, with all the music and Johnny Depp-ing around that that would entail…

But I get what a fan of the Original Dark Shadows would see: that’s not Barnabas Collins, this tone is too cheerful, they truncated whole arcs, and some characters are missing or smooshed together!

Because that’s kind of how I feel about the Morbius movie: that’s not Michael Morbius, they’ve smooshed three different characters into one worse version of an important one, why does this taste like a diet version of the 90s comic? What is this tone?

But someone probably says: yes! Jared Leto is Jared Leto-big all over the place, and I love that Milo guy, I’d like to ship him and Michael, and ooo! Cool special effects! Boy, what a fun early 2000s comic book movie!

And I cringed, just like those poor Dark Shadows fans did. However, 3 years out from my worst ever experience with the cinema, I can’t completely find it in my heart to hate movie-character Morbius anymore. In the grand multiversal scheme of things he’s just another version of my favorite character, and he did nothing wrong but exist in a shitty movie. And I hope the Dark shadows fans eventually realized this about movie-character Barnabus too. He might not be your favorite version of the guy, but he’s still that guy. And he might become someone’s favorite.

I just thought I’d point this out because sometime in the next decade or so, they will do this again to someone else’s favorite vampire blorbo. I just know that Hollywood will. So I hope that when they do, both fandoms will there to commiserate with the new guys. Because it sucks to see your blorbos done out of character in an adaptation that overshadows their original portrayal.

But just know that that shitty adaptation will make more people interested in that character, and hopefully, they will eventually watch/read the original versions. And then you’ll have new friends!

Hi, I read it, it was ok… but a warning to folks who like Michael as a character: read at your own risk!

He’s, no spoilers, very out of character here, and the way he’s used in the plot is a little gross… just a heads up.

However Mitzi is a very fun character and I appreciate her dynamic with Gwen and Peter; I just dislike the method in which she receives her powers (hint: that’s the gross thing).

I think it could have been handled better and in plenty of ways that would not have to resort to that …

(Like literally there’s a whole tank full of recently experimented on bats, right there! Which do get released into a crowd. Spider people don’t have to put with that, so why did Mitzi?)

Official SWAM promo post!

I’ve previously mentioned this story in other posts of mine, but this is its own dedicated post! Spider-Woman and Mitzi; The Living Vampire is a Spider-Verse based story centering around Gwen Stacy, her Peter Parker, and my OC Mitzi Tamanna who’s their best friend. After a field trip goes sinister, she becomes the Morbius variant of Earth-73. In a series of Jennifers Body inspired events, Gwen has to figure out what happened to her friend and how to stop her with Peters help. It’s an angsty teenage action and drama story with a gripping love triangle, all unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Here’s the link!

Head canons for Multimedia-Morbs

TAS: is the only: Romanian, one with both parents, one not sick, and one without a doctorate. He does impress everyone with his palm suckers (it’s more scientific curiosity than anything). Also surprises the rest by being friendly with blade and black cat. Is the closest to being an actual hero.

Ultimate: was probably raised by his father, it would explain a lot; his ethics, posh English accent, penchant for being backstabbing etc… he would be secretly jealous of the others for having love interests and/or dead bestfriends (he didn’t have a Nikos or Martine). Could be considered the token evil teammate, but he’s only ever been as successful long term as dr.doofensmirtz, so… practically harmless? he Is definitely the worst at teamwork, or even partnership. Gets made fun of for his life draining ability.

616: all the comics have happened to him, so he is tired and just wants to settle down with the lizard as a lab partner. Still has every version of his costume though, even the 90s one (is surprised to see that TAS and Movie’s costumes reference it). His power set and personality slightly change depending on which costume he wears. Probably ties with Midnight Son for knowing the most other superheroes. Is aware that he should probably be in his 80s or 90s if it weren’t for comic book time dilation.

Blood ties: never progressed past the stories in vampire tales, so is very confused when 616 Michael references things after them. He is very happy to know that he’ll eventually reunite with martine; no one tells him about the 90s out of kindness. His suit is navy and red where 616’s is black and red. He considers 616 to be his future, but really they’re more like divergent timelines.

Midnight Son: uses the literal deck of cards from the game to do his moves (he doesn’t think anything of it cause that’s just ‘how it works’), the others make fun of him for it. Probably has more costumes than 616 does, but they don’t really do anything (except for the yellow midnight Sun one having magical properties). He ties with Movie for being the handsomest (he wins prettiest vampire, movie wins prettiest human). Also, confuses the heck out of 616 whenever he talks about who is and isn’t on the midnight Sun’s roster (midnight suns the game and midnight sons the comics are very different). Is probably the best at teamwork.

Movie: is confused why everyone has Nikos as a childhood friend while he had Milo (isn’t sure which is better; dead best friend or evil best friend…?). Is slightly smug about being able to do the face thing. Baffles everyone by not knowing who Spider-man is but still knowing about Venom. Has a meta awareness of how poorly he stacks up to the rest of them; most of the others are impressed by his power set.

i thinkit would be cool if there was an omegaverse but for salmon instead of wolves. Like when the time comes certain members of society get really juicy musclewise and get yiffy fangs and are suddenly compelled to return to the neighborhood they grew up in and 96 hours later show up barefoot in full starvation mode and ravaged by walking through interstate traffic to fuck whoevwr smells the best in the local burger king. Then afterwards they die and disintegrate to be eaten by seagulls in the parking lot

Multimedia Morbs Headcanon #4:

Q1) How do they react to being bodily picked up?

TAS: didn’t notice it during his fight with spider-man (just figured spidey had super strength, isn’t wrong…), was shocked and pleasantly surprised when black-cat did it (it would be pretty hot, wouldn’t it? even without her powers she could still lift him probably), but he was incredibly embarrassed when Blade picked him up (Blade was also surprised, but he didn’t let on)

Ultimate: absolutely pissed if done while awake, if unconscious then he goes limp as a noodle (that makes things worse given his wings make it even more awkward to pick him up)

616: resignation, this has happened way too often; thankfully, it usually happens when he’s unconscious (he’s always been underweight and considered liftable, even before his accident, it’s just now more people qualify as “strong enough” to pick him up)

Blood ties: is always a little surprised when it happens, but he can still pick others up just as easily, so he still thinks of it as kind of fair (just don’t tell Amanda! she probably wouldn’t do anything with it… but he’d definitely have a hard time living that down)

Midnight Son: Once it was found out, he was nudged into participating in a “fastball special” competition against the Wolverine (for scientific and team building purposes): technically he goes further and can partner up with more teammates, but Logan still hits harder on impact, so… therefore: The Wolverine won the game.

Movie: no one has ever tried to pick him up, but he remembers almost being blown off that rooftop by the wind; so he’s under no illusions that it can’t be done. He would hope, though, that no one else figure that out (but if somebody were to pick him up, he’d want it to be Martine; it will probably be venom instead)

Q2) Most interesting secondary superpower/mutation that they have?

TAS: the underlying psionic ability he has that lets him hover/float; he has no idea where it came from, or how bat DNA or the neogenic process could have caused it… and that is so exciting for him! (616 had a more developed version of it, but his has atrophied over the years since he discovered it in the 90s; since 616’s ability didn’t stop at flight, does that mean TAS’s will also develop further? If not then what makes his different from 616’s? They like to work together on this as a form of bonding)

Ultimate: energy manipulation, it’s technically a very integral part of how he eats but it also goes further than just that… or at least it has the potential to go further than that and become something greater! However, He’s still working on that part, though…

616: he can taste things like: blood type, drug usage, demonic heritage, or if you have a working copy of the ‘X’ gene from just one mouthful of blood; He’s not doing it consciously, and it’s not exactly flashy, but the fact that it continues to come in handy is what makes it interesting for him (he already knows that nothing in his body works in any way, shape, or form that could be called ‘normal’ so stuff like that isn’t as interesting for him)

Blood ties: The reaction he has to demon blood is very interesting, could other similar substances create different effects? (This is highly unethical to look further into… but Amanda isn’t around to tell him ‘No!’, so…?)

Midnight Son: Mist form, nobody else can do it or explain it so that makes it unique, and therefore interesting! (The others would actually argue that it’s his card deck that’s most interesting, but since that’s just how the rules of his reality work he never considers this)

Movie: echolocation, since it lets him see through walls and across town, but also it lets him predict where objects in motion are going to be next and lets him communicate with bats! It’s so overwhelming (read: over powered) sometimes though… so he tries to use it sparingly.

Q3) Least favorite side effect of their powers (besides the hunger)?

TAS: accidental synesthesia of his sense of taste and touch, sometimes the hand-suckers leave a sort of phantom aftertaste in his mouth after using them.

Ultimate: inability to digest solids, since whatever mechanism lets him absorb life force also renders him unable to keep down solid food. He intentionally designed it with this cruelty in mind when he was going to use it on octavius, but unfortunately it got turned on him instead…

616: accidentally created/unlocked a very strong self preservation instinct, it keeps him from offing himself but often at the price of a loss of control until the life threatening part is over, it has made him do things that he wouldn’t consciously do (according to others: makes him very verbose and prone to slipping into the 3rd person tense in English)

Blood ties: can go through ‘withdrawal symptoms’ on par with coming off of heavy narcotics when he hasn’t fed in a long enough period; it’s different from just being ”hungry” though; (616 theorizes that it has to do with Blood ties’ body using the effects of his respective formula to offset his chronic disease, and the absence of fresh blood renders those effects inert: therefore he’s just dying again…)

Midnight Son: tooth sensitivity, the bat species he used for his experiment typically has less of the hard outer enamel that human teeth have, this is part of what makes their teeth razor sharp. But the gene didn't exactly express the same way while using human teeth as a base ( instead it thinned out his enamel in a way that left it sensitive to temperature and sweets, but technically did make them sharper…)

Movie: accidental synesthesia of his sight and new super-hearing/ echolocation, sometimes loud/sudden/harsh noises kick up visual feedback through this connection and that can be anywhere from mildly annoying to two-day-long-migraine causing

What would you ask them?

I don’t know who to send this to 🤷
