Morbius Is The Dumbest Addition To The Spider-Verse
Sony has pumped out adjacent “Spider-Man” properties in recent years for reasons definitely unrelated to their desperate attempt to hold on to their shared character rights with Marvel. And now we have the latest entry in this questionable canon: “Morbius”. The story of dr. Michael Morbius (played by Jared Leto, who is no stranger to comic book films at this point), a doctor with a rare blood disorder who can only cure himself by turning into a living vampire, is one of those that basically nobody asked for – but what a shame! Do not worry! Sony will make Morbius a thing!
Whether you’re a longtime Morbiushead (and you probably aren’t) or you think this character sounds really dumb (you’re right, he is), we’ve got a video for you. Over on Looper’s new show SnapChat and YouTube show Okay, So Basic, two entertainment writers break down the absolute madness that is Morbius, from its very weird backstory to its (disputed) relevance to Sony’s growing Spider-verse.
Besides Morbius, there are many other (Bius) videos on Okay, So Basic, toasting everything from Batman to Moon Knight to Twilight. You can watch the show via YouTube and Snapchat. And as for Morbius, it’s in theaters now if you really want to go through with it.
