The
Immortal Vampire
Episode #23 - The Immortal Vampire Blade and Spider-Man are forced to put their differences aside. Together they track down Michael Morbius. When Lt. Terri Lee joins the chase, she falls for the vampire hunter in the process. Speaking of romance, Morbius hatches a plan to transform his lady-love, Felicia Hardy, into his vampire-mate. Just in time, Blade and Spider-Man discover Morbius' hideout and interrupt him long enough for Felicia to force him to face the truth. Review: A twist in the Morbius plot, he now wanted to remain a vampire. It makes it hard to sympathise with someone who's willing hurts people, but well…as evident in his first couple of appearances, he was a jerk anyway. He and Felicia where perfect for each other. The romantic angle between Blade and Terry Lee (another character brought in!) wasn’t anything special. With the past couple of episodes all but ignoring Peter, it was nice to see him here again, even if it did beg the question, how was Peter and Spider-Man going to be at the scene to capture Morbius? Well, they didn’t. Spider-Man wasn’t there and Blade and co didn’t care. This episode didn’t work as well as arguably it should have. When both Felicia and Aunt May where kidnapped, we should’ve felt more for Peter’s potential loss. After all, in the previous episode he’d just lost Mary Jane, now the other 2 important people in his life where near death…where’s the drama? Lost in a sea of characters. The ending, in which Morbius turning into a giant bat was unexpected, but overall, this episode was a let down. Screenshots:
