It's not special or anything, but I have no idea why the internet memes it as hilariously bad.
Also, I love Venom, so if y'all's monkey business puts a dent in Sony's side of the MCU, so help me

People like Venom.

Nobody cares about Morbius.

I literally have no idea why they thought Morbius would be the best choice for their next movie.

I think what ignited the strong reaction was the marketing campaign. They kept framing it like it's "the next Marvel movie," even though it's definitely not an MCU film. It kind of had energy of "Look, I'm Marvel too!" and it was both sad and hilarious at the same time.

It even had the tagline of "A new Marvel legend arrives," which I think is 90% responsible for the bullying. They should have just played it cool and done their own thing without trying to sneak into the MCU sphere.

More or less, movie had Asylum levels of misleading marketing and the pathetic marketing in conjunction with doing it for this character nobody gives a shit about makes it worthy of mockery. I suspect we'll get another similar batch of these memes when that movie with the wrestler bad guy who's been in a whopping one comic gets released.

Meh. The Hulk movies were not so hot, but Hulk himself is a welcome part of the bigger picture. Nobody kared about Valkerie until Thor 3 either. Morby is not someone anyone's been waiting for, but aside from the X-Men, Disney has Marvel's heavy hitters. SMCU seems to be focusing on dark/anti-heroes and tragic/reformed villains right now, so he's a decent enough addition to the roster.

Thing is, most of these movies live or die based on the popularity of the character. If the character isn't popular, that's where good marketing comes in--Nobody knew who the fuck the Guardians of the Galaxy were, but when that trailer dropped for the first time, people were fuckin in. Nowadays, the Guardians are major fixture, and they have their own huge, dedicated fanbase.

Marketing gets people in the seats on opening weekend, and movie quality gets them telling their friends to see it.

Morbius had bad marketing and was a mediocre movie. With no name recognition. Ask any random person who Venom is, there's a decent chance they know. Ask them about Morbius (before the memes) and it's gonna be a lot of confused looks and "That guy from the Matrix?"

I saw it on a plane recently. Wasn't great wasn't awful, honestly I'd put it just slightly lower than Thor Love and Thunder.

The part at the end where he says "Due to the ramifications of my actions, I have lost the will to morb" and then jumps into the vat of boiling Ecto Cooler really got me.

Difference is, Iron Man was well written, well-cast, well-scored, and well-marketed. Well-made in general.

Morbius has that feel of a lot of those early-to-mid 2000s superhero movies, the ones that came out before Iron Man and didn't seem to know what they were actually supposed to be.

This but mixed with Iron Man and Batman

That being said, haha, I like Morbius. It has the feel of Venom, and comes across like an edgy teenage antihero fantasy done right by the end of it. They give him echolocation to scan the city, flight, a girlfriend, the cops are chasing him, etc. Much better superhero creation than Shang-Chi, for example, who did nothing but complicate the character. Morbius fixes Morbius.
