You know what, I'm glad it bombed for a second time. Any fears I had that Sony might green light a Morbius sequel on the strength of memes have (mostly) subsided with the internet collectively saying "we were laughing AT you, not WITH you" at the box office.

The Morbin time stuff died a death the moment Sony tried to make them... both between Morbious checking his watch and then Leto's little sketch like he was in on the joke...
when... like the entire point of the meme is that no one saw it and were acting like "it's morbin time" was a line he said in the movie...

Yeah, the whole premise of the joke was sarcastic jokes about its "huge success" at the box office and people making up lines. That and people marveling at one real scene of Matt Smith doing a dance. Leto doesn't even really make it into the one thing people had vague interest in, even if they were laughing at that scene, too.

Internet vs. Studios isn't over, but a major moment belongs to internet.

Also, must suck for Jared Leto to have to see his movie bomb twice in theaters. Dude's a dickhead, so this is something we should celebrate. I met him once and he's genuinely one of the shittiest people I've ever met.

So can we do something good with the SpiderVerse already? Green light live action Spider-Ham immediately.

I met him once and he's genuinely one of the shittiest people I've ever met. And that's not even touching some of the nastier stuff out there about him. I always like to see a major studio completely misunderstand pop culture and fall on their asses because of it.

Sony's pretty thoroughly demonstrated that they're completely incapable of learning lessons so I totally expect them to make another Morbius even after it flopped twice and after Kraven and Madame Web both inevitably do as well.

my favorite new post was someone tagging Sony and Morbius saying "The problem is what we really want is a big budget Morbius TV show."

I think they really didn't get that at least Venom A. was a much more popular character, anyway, and B. taps into a certain level of "bisexual disaster" anti-hero that people can meme about with affection, versus... whatever the hell this is.

EVerything I heard on this as well is that Morbius wasn't even funny bad... or campy bad... it was just... boring.
