From what you say, Milo could have been pretty interesting. He spent his whole life being looked down upon because of his condition, by bullies, by society in general, and that made him bitter. Because of all this built-up anger, the moment he becomes a vampire, he decides to lash out and be the bully for a change. Maybe make Morbius start off just as bitter, but over time he develops past his unlikeable qualities, while Milo actually gets worse.
To add on to this point you could have had a scene before Morbius goes off to Morbius himself where Milo calls him out on being a jackass and Morbius dismisses it and Milo lets it go because they are friends. Could even have a point where Morbius is beginning to grow but isn't ready to admit it. He catches Milo doing something JUST AS BAD as the earlier scene and Milo replies "Why do you have a problem with it? You do the same thing," and that would be the cold splash of water that Morbius needs to full realize how much of a jackass he's been but gets too wrapped up correcting himself and or dealing with fall out from his earlier actioinis (such as the high of being a vamp and nobody could realistically stop him) and then when he finally confronts Milo and sees how much of a monster he has become Morbius could have lamented that he never noticed how much his friend was suffering and now it maybe too late to save him AND how he so narrowlly avoided going down that path himself. I don't know I'm just spitballing hre.
How dare you insult this movie. Morbius is so good that no other film will ever be made as every filmmaker will just give up, knowing they will never make a film this good
One thing that really annoyed me was how the woman was turned into a vampire at the end when the movie spends ages showing us that it was specifically the interaction between the disease and the cure that made Morbius and Milo into vampires. Also, Milo being an intelligent man (now vampire) should know that killing so many people would cause the military to come after him, thereby ending whatever new world order he was planning pretty quickly. And the whole hero and villain have the same abilities for final fight trope is well past it's expiry date and needs to be thrown out.

Even from the beginning "Do you need a doctor" into "i am a doctor" Is just childish XD like bro should know that by now no he just flew him in his heli how has he not been intoduced yet. Sets the tone petty fast that the movie is written like shit
"I'll let you guess which one of these the film kills off for a cheap emotional moment." OK, they can't be ham-fisted enough to go for the girlfriend; I mean, that's a done-to-death cliche at this- "Did you guess? Well, either way you're right because it happens to both of them."

Then he seems angry that Morbius is getting to close to his assistant which I guess is enough for him to ok be jealous. I can understand him dancing was goofy but he didn't care.

But this time, Herriot lacked all capacity to be tactful and he laughed in her face, and... She started laughing too. A delirious vet having hysterics was all she needed to convince her the dog must be okay.

"Why are we supposed to like Morbius?" Because _mayyyyybe_ he'll fight Spider-Man and show up in Blade and Sony have to keep releasing Spider-Man IP films to hold on to the rights, duh
This movie lost me army the very start when Morbius refused to accept the Nobel prize. Like “dude, this could be really good for your hospital. Imagine all the kids you could save”. But he’s all “no. I’m so brilliant, anyone who tries to influence me will only taint me.”
With all the MCU hate being thrown around in recent times, I think Sony's films like Morbius are a necessary evil in order to remind people what ACTUALLY bad superhero movies look like.
I took Milo's lack of reaction to Morbius's transformation as a sign of his sociopathic and misanthropic tendencies. He thinks humanity is beneath him anyway, so a literal thirst for blood is a feature instead of a drawback. His coming into prison and leaving the cane for Morbius, in a similar way, is to taunt the latter as an expression of/foreshadowing how he's drunk with the power of finally feeling alive for the first time in his life.
I hate Morbius memes. I hate it when a bad movie gets ironic memes saying it's good, singing praises to something that hasn't earned it. Artificially inflating its reputation. I despise Morbius memes. And that is why I make Morbius anti-memes
Here's my take on the scene where Morbius and Milo argue over the cure: Milo: You found a cure? Morbius: It's not a cure. It's a curse. Milo: What do you mean? Morbius: *points at a newspaper with the news on the massacre at the ship - which the nurse never went* I did that. I have become some kind of...vampire. A living vampire, so to speak. I get these episodes of bloodlust and... Milo: Can't you control it, though? Morbius: I've been trying since the incident on the boat. It's why I have been so absent in the past week. Milo: And? Morbius: It's no use. My synthetic blood helps a bit, but the time between cravings is becoming shorter and shorter. Soon, I won't be just satisfied with synthetic blood. Milo: I... see... Is it really that bad, though? Morbius: What are you saying? Of course it is! I'm a murderer because of what I created! Milo: Look, that's bad, I know. But look on the bright side, you're cured! You no longer have the shadow of death lingering over your head anymore! We just have to be careful and get a lot of donated blood. Haven't you watched any vampire shows? Morbius: This isn't TV! This is real life! No matter how careful we would be, we would slip eventually. I'm already a murderer because of this curse, I'm not letting you become one too! Milo: You ungrateful bastard! After everything I sacrificed for you! It was me who paid for all of your studies and experiments! It was my money that you used to make the synthetic blood that earn you that prize! Morbius: I never wanted that prize! And I gave back every penny back to you! Milo: After everything that I've suffered! Being look down by others! The pitying looks! Building up hope for a cure time after fucking time. Only for you to fail and break it down again and again! After all of that, now that you have finally made a cure, you're holding it away from me!? Morbius: Are you not listening!? It isn't a cure! It's a curse! Just give me time, Milo! I can give you a real cure, I know it! Milo: Time!? That's the one thing that I can't give you anymore, Morbius. I'm tired of waiting! I'm dying, Morbius! I'm getting worse every day! I don't care if I become a monster, at least I'll be alive! Morbius: I'm sorry, Milo. But I can't - I won't let you become like me. *Turns around to grab the viles of the table* Milo: *Breaks a bottle on the back of Morbius' head, knocking him out.* I'm sorry, Morbius. *Grabs the viles and leaves* But I can't wait any longer.
16:23 I was just thinking that sounded like Amazing Spider Man 2. I've have only seen that film once in my life and that moment of nonsense still stays my mind.
They can't do that. Spider-Man license-based product is basically the only thing keeping Sony Pictures afloat. The minute they let go of it, the studio will fold and be sold off in bits. Indeed, Sony Pictures is just in a weird financial position. Sony Corp would love to sell them off, but they can't. Their deal with Marvel explicitly says that if SP gets sold, the Spider-Man rights revert back to Marvel. So the one thing that makes Sony Pictures valuable is the one thing someone looking to buy them will not get. So nobody wants to buy them, not even Disney (who is still digesting Fox and probably looking to buy Nintendo or EA to get in on videogames). So Sony Pictures is a product that can't be sold, and the only valuable thing they have is Spider-Man product. Therefore, they have to keep making them, even if they're hot garbage.
@@GeneralBolas That's such a sad situation. The only good movie they've made lately is Mitchell's vs the Machines and that was a great movie (I'm a dad of little kids, but I also legitimately enjoyed the film and would have wanted to see it even if I weren't a dad). To be fair, that was a fantastic film. But one good movie for five years or whatever is pretty bad.
I had a great time watching Morbius. But that's because I watched it with my best friend and his wife and we just spent our time laughing at it and taking the piss out of it. Morbius ranks as a so bad it's good comedy to me but only when watched with friends Also, if we're ripping on Morbius' powers, then WHY IS HE ABLE TO FLY AT ALL?!?! Bats are able to fly because they have small, lightweight bodies. But also BECAUSE THEY HAVE WINGS!!! Morbius doesn't have wings, he just flies by what, feeling air currents and looking like he's being propelled by a fart? He's a poor man's Man-Bat!
My fave part is that Jared Leto was an insufferable, annoying prick constantly doing his method "acting" and generally being a fucking pain, including taking so long on bathroom breaks because he insisted on using the crutches until they got a member of the crew to take him in a wheelchair. But my heart was happy because at the London premiere one of my friends (who also uses crutches) told him he had used them wrong. The whole film.
Ngl, the Milo Cane thing could've been such a cool post credit scene, and if Morbius had no true villain but himself, the film could've had room to breath more, and maybe might've been better. Matt Smith, as an actor, could've been so much better if they had set him up as a big bad for a sequel, at least we could say, "maybe the next one will be better", but instead they wanted to Spider-Man.
I get that Sony is trying to cash in on the new interest in super movies but they had a lot of time make something good and just settled. It’s unfortunate.
I never cares about this film in the first place. I mean what is the point of making a Spider-man film without Spider-man? It just doesn't work. Also Mobius doesn't have enough popularity to justify a solo film, let alone a film that is part of a new "cinematic universe."
I am convinced that there is only one proper way to watch Morbius, do what I did and get a bunch of knuckleheads together to watch and laugh at everything wrong with it. Best movie night ever, 💯
This movie puts infinity war to shame, I cannot express how mad I am you didn't objectively give it credit nor waited for the extended cut in which he has a full 20 minute scene naked having sex with a giant bat and eventually saying the extremely philosophical line "It's morbin' time" as he and the bat climax.
I was watching A Fistful of Dollars, but then the movie just stopped working so after a while I went online and saw this video. Nice to see you talk about a far better film than the one I was watching After watching, I’m impressed, this is the first time I’ve heard your voice actually break down over a film, it’s so good that you broke your voice yelling about its unparalleled genius !
Sony is piggybacking on the success of the MCU and it's sad and pathetic Man I'm pissed that sony is ruining Michael Keaton's Vulture character from Spider-Man homecoming aka the best MCU Spider-Man villain
I saw this movie and it left no real impact on me. And it still leaves no impact on me. At least Venom and its sequel was entertaining junk food, this I just didn't feel anything. Even when you point all this stuff I didn't think about this movie still has no impact on me, in which case I suppose my reaction is worse than yours since most bad movies can at least leave me thinking about why they are bad movies. With this all I can think about is how much I don't care about it.
14:46 tbf I am not a NYC detective either. But I am pretty sure most detectives in that moment after seeing a guy who allegedly needs crutches to walk around suddenly turns into god damn chuck norris bodying multiple other cops in front of you, starts moving at inhuman speeds and making inhuman jumps...yea I think most would try to shoot him in the head.
Thank you for seeing this and making quality fun of it so I didn't have to see it. Also, do they say verbatim differently in England? We say verr-BAY-tim here in the USA but our two linguistic pools pronounce and even use many words differently. I remember my mind being blown when I realized as a teen that things are different *to* each other in England instead of from like here. I'm not able to watch this film anyway: I didn't know how much serious childhood illness is in the film, but we just lost our almost four year old son less than two and a half years ago after thirteen months of hospitals and treatments and we just aren't willing to be traumatized over Leto's failed bat experiment. "I can look past a flawed surface layer, but there's nothing beyond it here." Great, perceptive, and very clear line. I really admire your "thought to text" circuit in your writer's brain. And your Eternals video was my first of yours and was a truly amazing point of entry. Funny: critics didn't like this movie or that movie, but there's people like you and me who could talk for hours about why Eternals was special, and if anyone would defend Morebeesss for hours, I suspect they would come across as repetitive. "He's scary and he tries to be good but he wants to be bad." Haha right Sony doesn't have rights to variants. Oh and oh yeah: you've mentioned since this you have COVID! So sorry, feel better. This helps remind me not to let my guard down. My wife's pregnant with our fourth child (remember, we lost one, so only third here), my daughter is 14 months, and my 8 year old has asthma and serious respiratory issues when he gets a cold. I can't get my fam sick.
Thanks for the kind words! Re: verbatim, I’ve definitely heard the pronunciation you’re talking about in the U.K., but I’ve also heard ‘VER-ba-tim’. It might be down to regional variations, I’m unsure. Sadly, there’s quite a bit of content in Morbius that you might find traumatic, so I think you were likely right not to go see it - awful quality notwithstanding. On that note, I’ll try to remember content warnings in the future should I ever talk about media touching on that topic. But thanks for watching this and for the positive feedback - and good luck avoiding covid!
Well he is a spiderman villain. I think it would've been better if morbius was in a spiderman movie instead. Did anyone cath the spiderman Street art in that shot? Well sony has wanted a sinister 6 movie for years now. Hence Michael Keatons line "people like us should stick together". Foreshadowing a sinister 6 movie. I think Michael keatons vulture was from Tom Holland universe and I think morbius is in Tom Holland universe. I'd love a sinister 6 movie but in a spiderman movie.
Man, someone really wants me to buy a Jeep Grand Wagoneer. I mean, I could buy a decent three-bedroom house for less where I live, so maybe they should fine-tune their marketing. I don't know if it's the TH-cam dolts in advertising or just an algorithm, but maybe a multiple choice question before a video isn't the way to target potential customers, and maybe saturating every video I watch with ads for a vehicle I will never be able to afford isn't going to sell me a $90,000 jeep. I watch TH-cam and I don't pay for cable TV. Figure it out, dude.
Might just be me, but I don't think it's as bad as people are saying it is. I enjoyed Jared Leto and Matt Smith's performances and were probably my favorite parts of the movie. The origin of both were pretty nice. I also love how they showed Morbius before becoming vampiric. The scene of him taking care of that girl was nice and added to the character. And I liked how Morbius was struggling to control the lust for blood. Kinda wish they did more with that. I also love how Morbius discovers what Milo did. It took me a bit to realize he left the cane too. Also the effect for when he's in the wind. However there are some things I dislike. 1. Milo turning into a villain. I feel like they kinda rushed it. The way Milo goes on about how Micheal ended up being better and preferred by their father figure, and being so close to a cure only for it to be denied is a good set up. They just rushed it. There should've been more scenes about their father figure continuing to talk about Morbius' accomplishments with Milo, although proud for him wanting and failing to make that figure proud. And I think there should have been a scene where he stole the cure out of spite or anger instead of him just sneaking it out. 2. The way the officers act. I can't really describe it, but I don't really think detectives act like that. I feel like they jumped to conclusions to quick or just flat out uncharacteristic 3. The romance between Morbius and the nurse woman. Nothing wrong with having it, but again it felt rush. There's really no hint that they've been together for a while if that was what they were going for. And if not, then I don't understand why the sudden need for them to be in love. They should've either enforced that they were already in a relationship or not have it in the first place. 4. The vampire/transformed look. I think they either should've done something different or touched up the look. It does look unnatural, but it also feels over the top and often times bad. Honestly I think if you fixed these problems, it would be pretty good. Hell, if it had nothing to do with Marvel it'd be a decent story. I personally give it like a 5/10. I've definitely seen worse. *cough cough* Crimes of Grindlewald *cough cough*
I havent seen this movie and dont even know if ill ever bother (which is weird since i have a guilty love for both venom movies, ik im terrible) but why on earth do they not even give him a comic accurate look. Even if you hate venom you cant deny the look for the character is chefs kiss, yet morbius wears a weird black suit or hoodie, when a weird little spandex outfit with a big v and little cape would be so goofy and hilarious, also why the fuck did they give him a weird little beard, it looks so weird in vampire form jusy give him the little goatee
I watched this movie on a Twitter thread and still feel like I paid too much... Just an amateurish film all around, this hit pretty much every point I can remember from a movie that forgettable
Something I always have to ask is, What fucking band was he from? I know he was a band guy, but fuck me if I thought they were worth remembering. whoever they were.
I'm so glad I did not see it. It does not interest me at all and feel bad for you having to endure the film. I'm not a fan of Sony doing these kinds of films. Its weird and so strange. Morbius just doesn't look interesting to me. I'm sorry you had to suffer.
I don't think it's a terrible movie, far from being a good one, but also think they wrote one movie rated r, then covid and Sony happened, and just fell apart over the past two years
OK so morbius' makes sense for a Marvel property. Like in their universe, latent super power genes react differently when science shit happens I'm not even kidding... fun fact: spider man's power work the exact same as this version this. Magic blood
I went in expecting trash, turned out p alright I think, a nice lil popcorn flick... until those post-credit scenes. I fucking hated that post-credits, especially given we got less then two minutes of Venom in No Way Home. LESS THAN TWO MINUTES IN A BAR.
I have pretty bad taste (I unironically think The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a great movie) and I still think most of the people talking about how good Morbius is are just shitposting
Get right with the lord Jesus Christ before it’s too late repent and put ur faith in Christ. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins and risen on the third day he’s the only way to salvation John 14:6 John 3:36 John 3:16 Romans 10:9.

With all the MCU hate being thrown around in recent times, I think Sony's films like Morbius are a necessary evil in order to remind people what ACTUALLY bad superhero movies look like.
I took Milo's lack of reaction to Morbius's transformation as a sign of his sociopathic and misanthropic tendencies. He thinks humanity is beneath him anyway, so a literal thirst for blood is a feature instead of a drawback. His coming into prison and leaving the cane for Morbius, in a similar way, is to taunt the latter as an expression of/foreshadowing how he's drunk with the power of finally feeling alive for the first time in his life.
Entire purpose was to set up sinister six with the vulture
Best scene was when Morbios said "it's morbin time" then morbed so hard that Milo just died being out-morbed. 11/10, would def watch again
I hate Morbius memes. I hate it when a bad movie gets ironic memes saying it's good, singing praises to something that hasn't earned it. Artificially inflating its reputation. I despise Morbius memes. And that is why I make Morbius anti-memes
It's Morbin' Time
Here's my take on the scene where Morbius and Milo argue over the cure:
Milo: You found a cure?
Morbius: It's not a cure. It's a curse.
Milo: What do you mean?
Morbius: *points at a newspaper with the news on the massacre at the ship - which the nurse never went* I did that. I have become some kind of...vampire. A living vampire, so to speak. I get these episodes of bloodlust and...
Milo: Can't you control it, though?
Morbius: I've been trying since the incident on the boat. It's why I have been so absent in the past week.
Milo: And?
Morbius: It's no use. My synthetic blood helps a bit, but the time between cravings is becoming shorter and shorter. Soon, I won't be just satisfied with synthetic blood.
Milo: I... see... Is it really that bad, though?
Morbius: What are you saying? Of course it is! I'm a murderer because of what I created!
Milo: Look, that's bad, I know. But look on the bright side, you're cured! You no longer have the shadow of death lingering over your head anymore! We just have to be careful and get a lot of donated blood. Haven't you watched any vampire shows?
Morbius: This isn't TV! This is real life! No matter how careful we would be, we would slip eventually. I'm already a murderer because of this curse, I'm not letting you become one too!
Milo: You ungrateful bastard! After everything I sacrificed for you! It was me who paid for all of your studies and experiments! It was my money that you used to make the synthetic blood that earn you that prize!
Morbius: I never wanted that prize! And I gave back every penny back to you!
Milo: After everything that I've suffered! Being look down by others! The pitying looks! Building up hope for a cure time after fucking time. Only for you to fail and break it down again and again! After all of that, now that you have finally made a cure, you're holding it away from me!?
Morbius: Are you not listening!? It isn't a cure! It's a curse! Just give me time, Milo! I can give you a real cure, I know it!
Milo: Time!? That's the one thing that I can't give you anymore, Morbius. I'm tired of waiting! I'm dying, Morbius! I'm getting worse every day! I don't care if I become a monster, at least I'll be alive!
Morbius: I'm sorry, Milo. But I can't - I won't let you become like me. *Turns around to grab the viles of the table*
Milo: *Breaks a bottle on the back of Morbius' head, knocking him out.* I'm sorry, Morbius. *Grabs the viles and leaves* But I can't wait any longer.

@@PillarofGarbage What?
16:23 I was just thinking that sounded like Amazing Spider Man 2. I've have only seen that film once in my life and that moment of nonsense still stays my mind.
Morbius is the movie of all time
1 Morbillion tickets sold first weekend
I'll say it again: Give the license back to marvel. They seem to know how to handle Spidey villains then Sony does nowadays
They can't do that. Spider-Man license-based product is basically the only thing keeping Sony Pictures afloat. The minute they let go of it, the studio will fold and be sold off in bits.
Indeed, Sony Pictures is just in a weird financial position. Sony Corp would love to sell them off, but they can't. Their deal with Marvel explicitly says that if SP gets sold, the Spider-Man rights revert back to Marvel. So the one thing that makes Sony Pictures valuable is the one thing someone looking to buy them will not get. So nobody wants to buy them, not even Disney (who is still digesting Fox and probably looking to buy Nintendo or EA to get in on videogames).
So Sony Pictures is a product that can't be sold, and the only valuable thing they have is Spider-Man product. Therefore, they have to keep making them, even if they're hot garbage.
@@GeneralBolas That's such a sad situation. The only good movie they've made lately is Mitchell's vs the Machines and that was a great movie (I'm a dad of little kids, but I also legitimately enjoyed the film and would have wanted to see it even if I weren't a dad). To be fair, that was a fantastic film. But one good movie for five years or whatever is pretty bad.
@@TroyBlackford Don't forget Into the Spider-Verse.
I had a great time watching Morbius. But that's because I watched it with my best friend and his wife and we just spent our time laughing at it and taking the piss out of it. Morbius ranks as a so bad it's good comedy to me but only when watched with friends
Also, if we're ripping on Morbius' powers, then WHY IS HE ABLE TO FLY AT ALL?!?! Bats are able to fly because they have small, lightweight bodies. But also BECAUSE THEY HAVE WINGS!!! Morbius doesn't have wings, he just flies by what, feeling air currents and looking like he's being propelled by a fart? He's a poor man's Man-Bat!
My fave part is that Jared Leto was an insufferable, annoying prick constantly doing his method "acting" and generally being a fucking pain, including taking so long on bathroom breaks because he insisted on using the crutches until they got a member of the crew to take him in a wheelchair. But my heart was happy because at the London premiere one of my friends (who also uses crutches) told him he had used them wrong. The whole film.
I love that interaction so much. It was bothering me that crutches were so central to a character and no one bothered to tell him how to use them
this movie sounds like they reworked the plot of TASM 2 and made it worse by making it an origin story
This is probably the first time I’ve seen you this genuinely mad
this is definitely the most unhinged video I’ve posted
Ngl, the Milo Cane thing could've been such a cool post credit scene, and if Morbius had no true villain but himself, the film could've had room to breath more, and maybe might've been better. Matt Smith, as an actor, could've been so much better if they had set him up as a big bad for a sequel, at least we could say, "maybe the next one will be better", but instead they wanted to Spider-Man.
I get that Sony is trying to cash in on the new interest in super movies but they had a lot of time make something good and just settled. It’s unfortunate.
Wow! A vampire movie so remarkably vampirish that it drains your life force, killing you instantly!
Can’t believe Morbius fought the Doctor for a second time.
How could you not like the movie that sold 100 Morbillion tickets #MorbiusSweep
3:40 Jared Leto in a comic-book film, that leaves stuff on the cutting-room floor. like Suicide Squad.
I never cares about this film in the first place. I mean what is the point of making a Spider-man film without Spider-man? It just doesn't work. Also Mobius doesn't have enough popularity to justify a solo film, let alone a film that is part of a new "cinematic universe."
This is exactly how I felt after watching Venom, except I didn't even have the catharsis of everyone else ripping it to shreds.
I am convinced that there is only one proper way to watch Morbius, do what I did and get a bunch of knuckleheads together to watch and laugh at everything wrong with it. Best movie night ever, 💯
Jared Leto should be banned from destroying iconic characters...
He should only be allowed to play characters that are attention seeking douche bags because he’s been practicing for that role his entire career.
I saw it. It was bad. Matt Smith was still fun to watch, but that didn't save it.
This movie puts infinity war to shame, I cannot express how mad I am you didn't objectively give it credit nor waited for the extended cut in which he has a full 20 minute scene naked having sex with a giant bat and eventually saying the extremely philosophical line "It's morbin' time" as he and the bat climax.
I haven't seen the movie, but I'll trust you. Also, you getting angry at all of Morbius' flaws was sort of entertaining.
me: wait the villain was MATT SMITH I should watch this
me, five seconds later: nnnnnnno let us not do that
I was watching A Fistful of Dollars, but then the movie just stopped working so after a while I went online and saw this video. Nice to see you talk about a far better film than the one I was watching
After watching, I’m impressed, this is the first time I’ve heard your voice actually break down over a film, it’s so good that you broke your voice yelling about its unparalleled genius !
it is not an experience I wish to repeat..
Sony is piggybacking on the success of the MCU and it's sad and pathetic Man I'm pissed that sony is ruining Michael Keaton's Vulture character from Spider-Man homecoming aka the best MCU Spider-Man villain
I saw this movie and it left no real impact on me. And it still leaves no impact on me. At least Venom and its sequel was entertaining junk food, this I just didn't feel anything. Even when you point all this stuff I didn't think about this movie still has no impact on me, in which case I suppose my reaction is worse than yours since most bad movies can at least leave me thinking about why they are bad movies. With this all I can think about is how much I don't care about it.
14:46 tbf I am not a NYC detective either. But I am pretty sure most detectives in that moment after seeing a guy who allegedly needs crutches to walk around suddenly turns into god damn chuck norris bodying multiple other cops in front of you, starts moving at inhuman speeds and making inhuman jumps...yea I think most would try to shoot him in the head.
I thought this move was...ok. it was very early 2000s.
Also I am guessing you have yet to see The Batman still?
Yep, I was planning to go see it with this weekend, but then I got The Illness…
@@PillarofGarbage This was Morbius' doing
Thank you for seeing this and making quality fun of it so I didn't have to see it.
Also, do they say verbatim differently in England? We say verr-BAY-tim here in the USA but our two linguistic pools pronounce and even use many words differently. I remember my mind being blown when I realized as a teen that things are different *to* each other in England instead of from like here.
I'm not able to watch this film anyway: I didn't know how much serious childhood illness is in the film, but we just lost our almost four year old son less than two and a half years ago after thirteen months of hospitals and treatments and we just aren't willing to be traumatized over Leto's failed bat experiment.
"I can look past a flawed surface layer, but there's nothing beyond it here."
Great, perceptive, and very clear line. I really admire your "thought to text" circuit in your writer's brain. And your Eternals video was my first of yours and was a truly amazing point of entry. Funny: critics didn't like this movie or that movie, but there's people like you and me who could talk for hours about why Eternals was special, and if anyone would defend Morebeesss for hours, I suspect they would come across as repetitive. "He's scary and he tries to be good but he wants to be bad."
Haha right Sony doesn't have rights to variants.
Oh and oh yeah: you've mentioned since this you have COVID! So sorry, feel better. This helps remind me not to let my guard down. My wife's pregnant with our fourth child (remember, we lost one, so only third here), my daughter is 14 months, and my 8 year old has asthma and serious respiratory issues when he gets a cold. I can't get my fam sick.
Thanks for the kind words! Re: verbatim, I’ve definitely heard the pronunciation you’re talking about in the U.K., but I’ve also heard ‘VER-ba-tim’. It might be down to regional variations, I’m unsure.
Sadly, there’s quite a bit of content in Morbius that you might find traumatic, so I think you were likely right not to go see it - awful quality notwithstanding. On that note, I’ll try to remember content warnings in the future should I ever talk about media touching on that topic.
But thanks for watching this and for the positive feedback - and good luck avoiding covid!

Well he is a spiderman villain. I think it would've been better if morbius was in a spiderman movie instead. Did anyone cath the spiderman Street art in that shot? Well sony has wanted a sinister 6 movie for years now. Hence Michael Keatons line "people like us should stick together". Foreshadowing a sinister 6 movie. I think Michael keatons vulture was from Tom Holland universe and I think morbius is in Tom Holland universe. I'd love a sinister 6 movie but in a spiderman movie.
Man, someone really wants me to buy a Jeep Grand Wagoneer. I mean, I could buy a decent three-bedroom house for less where I live, so maybe they should fine-tune their marketing. I don't know if it's the TH-cam dolts in advertising or just an algorithm, but maybe a multiple choice question before a video isn't the way to target potential customers, and maybe saturating every video I watch with ads for a vehicle I will never be able to afford isn't going to sell me a $90,000 jeep. I watch TH-cam and I don't pay for cable TV. Figure it out, dude.

I'm gonna guess that you probably won't review Venom 2
Probably not anytime soon, no!
Guys, please stop memeing about how “good” Morbius is. If this keeps up, Somy will take y’all seriously and we’ll get a sequel…
You should you watch, sonic the hedgehog movie 2 it's a better film then morbius I won't waste my money on it.
Commenting for the algorithm
Might just be me, but I don't think it's as bad as people are saying it is. I enjoyed Jared Leto and Matt Smith's performances and were probably my favorite parts of the movie. The origin of both were pretty nice. I also love how they showed Morbius before becoming vampiric. The scene of him taking care of that girl was nice and added to the character. And I liked how Morbius was struggling to control the lust for blood. Kinda wish they did more with that. I also love how Morbius discovers what Milo did. It took me a bit to realize he left the cane too. Also the effect for when he's in the wind.
However there are some things I dislike.
1. Milo turning into a villain. I feel like they kinda rushed it. The way Milo goes on about how Micheal ended up being better and preferred by their father figure, and being so close to a cure only for it to be denied is a good set up. They just rushed it. There should've been more scenes about their father figure continuing to talk about Morbius' accomplishments with Milo, although proud for him wanting and failing to make that figure proud. And I think there should have been a scene where he stole the cure out of spite or anger instead of him just sneaking it out.
2. The way the officers act. I can't really describe it, but I don't really think detectives act like that. I feel like they jumped to conclusions to quick or just flat out uncharacteristic
3. The romance between Morbius and the nurse woman. Nothing wrong with having it, but again it felt rush. There's really no hint that they've been together for a while if that was what they were going for. And if not, then I don't understand why the sudden need for them to be in love. They should've either enforced that they were already in a relationship or not have it in the first place.
4. The vampire/transformed look. I think they either should've done something different or touched up the look. It does look unnatural, but it also feels over the top and often times bad.
Honestly I think if you fixed these problems, it would be pretty good. Hell, if it had nothing to do with Marvel it'd be a decent story. I personally give it like a 5/10. I've definitely seen worse. *cough cough* Crimes of Grindlewald *cough cough*
I havent seen this movie and dont even know if ill ever bother (which is weird since i have a guilty love for both venom movies, ik im terrible) but why on earth do they not even give him a comic accurate look. Even if you hate venom you cant deny the look for the character is chefs kiss, yet morbius wears a weird black suit or hoodie, when a weird little spandex outfit with a big v and little cape would be so goofy and hilarious, also why the fuck did they give him a weird little beard, it looks so weird in vampire form jusy give him the little goatee
Morbius isn't really that bad...I mean it got me to understand why people find Matt Smith attractive so there's that..
I watched this movie on a Twitter thread and still feel like I paid too much...
Just an amateurish film all around, this hit pretty much every point I can remember from a movie that forgettable
Something I always have to ask is, What fucking band was he from? I know he was a band guy, but fuck me if I thought they were worth remembering. whoever they were.

No! I'll think about it if Sal sa Spiderman 😁.

I'm so glad I did not see it. It does not interest me at all and feel bad for you having to endure the film. I'm not a fan of Sony doing these kinds of films. Its weird and so strange. Morbius just doesn't look interesting to me. I'm sorry you had to suffer.
I am also glad you didn’t see it!
Mmm, hashbrowns
The music in this stupid movie never shuts up.
This movie was just incredibly boring. Very forgettable as well.
I don't think it's a terrible movie, far from being a good one, but also think they wrote one movie rated r, then covid and Sony happened, and just fell apart over the past two years
It’s morbin’ time
OK so morbius' makes sense for a Marvel property. Like in their universe, latent super power genes react differently when science shit happens
I'm not even kidding... fun fact: spider man's power work the exact same as this version this. Magic blood
I went in expecting trash, turned out p alright I think, a nice lil popcorn flick... until those post-credit scenes. I fucking hated that post-credits, especially given we got less then two minutes of Venom in No Way Home. LESS THAN TWO MINUTES IN A BAR.
Morbius 🤮
