So. Morbius. There’s 3 possibilities for the future of this franchise:
1: due to the film being a complete financial failure, Sony will not want anything to do with the film, and quietly euthanise the character.
2: they make a sequel that references the memes surrounding the film constantly. Decide for yourself if this is a good or bad thing.
3: they continue with their original plan for the character, and put him into the venom cinematic universe. The bad ending.
Which do you think is the most likely ending.
I think one of the major errors committed by many comic book movies, or super-powered films in general is spending way too much time on origin, and trying to explain in great detail the exact powers that characters have. Even when using the method of 'show, don't tell', having this much concern over such things detracts from things that could otherwise be well done - that's my two cents anyway. If they spent less time trying to explain /why/ Morbius, or what Morbius can do, and instead spent more time exploring /who/ Morbius is, and elaborating on relationships and values, then there could probably be a better movie here.
That's why I quit watching superhero movies altogether. I'm sick and tired of origin stories and especially origin story reboots.
Yeah the "having to kill ur best friend " part really should've had more impact. But it all felt so...flat. idk
