Synopsis:

This feels like a bad superhero movie from the early 2000s, so I treated it as such and just focused on Milo's story. And of course the terrible post credits scene is removed.

Intentions:

This movie is such garbage, but I love how much fun Matt Smith clearly had with his character. So this edit aims to keep the best of Matt's performance, and whittle down the rest of the movie as thin as possible.

Change List:

Removed Marvel flip-page intro. New intro credits and new medical DNA graphics, with new "A Marvel Elseworlds Origin Story" credit. Costa Rica Intro scene removed, we begin in Greece. Michael and Milo as children cheesy dialogue tightened, removal of Milo attaking boy after being attacked. Martine's intro at Horizon tightened, no chess discussion with Anna Martine explicitly saying "vampire" genes removed. Mention of induced coma for Anna removed. (as without a breathing tube, she would not survive induced coma) Martine's cheesy lines asking Michael about whether he has many past "suitors" removed. Michael directing Martine to the vertebre removed. (she's a doctor, she knows!) Michael shirtless checking out his new muscles removed. Michael's hospital lines to Martine moved to when he checks on her in ship "I'm Sorry. You're gonna be okay." FBI investigating ship and Agents' intro removed. Part of Michael's verbal exposition of new powers removed when possible, as well as extranious shots of him going hungry. Michael visiting Martine at the hospital removed. Agent's usage of "Exsanguinated" removed. Shots of Milo in Hallway following the nurse removed, leaving only the hand reveal. Michael hearing that the nurse was drained of her blood and facial shot of dead nurse removed. Michael flying up the stairs removed, now he ran the whole way and could more easily be caught by the Agent. Michael's notes and vocal exposition when he first gets to jail removed. Agents discussing the holy water removed. Michael's face changing during interrogation and removed dialogue about not liking him when he's hungry removed. Agents at Subway crime scene removed. Milo stalking Martine in the window from the alley removed. "I am Venom" line and the recovery advice given to the counterfiting boss for his broken hand removed. Agents at Martine's apt removed. Tightened Michael and Martine's first kiss. Agents at bar guys crime scene removed. Line about the poison being "deadly to bats" removed. Mention of two vials of poison removed, and that Michael planning to kill himself too. Michael using water to call the bats removed - the scream he just did was enough. Michael calling Milo "Lucien" when he dies removed. Close up shots of Agents watching the bat swarm removed. Cinematic credits removed, straight to credit scroll. Post Credit Scene removed.

Additional Notes:
