Film Theory: Is Morbius So BAD You Can SUE?

Theorists, it's Morbin time! I know, I know. That meme is super old now, but it was part of what inspired me to make this theory in a way. Well, the Morbin meme at least meant I needed to take a second look at Morbius. Oh boy, did I take a second look. Specifically, I watched the trailer again and realized that the movie I was advertised was NOT the movie I saw. At ALL!. Is that even LEGAL? Think of this as the sister episode to our episode over on game theory about mobile game ads.

I watched it illegally and I still want a refund!

[ArcadeAssassin]

I think you made a mistake Mat, you put the word "bad" in the same sentence as Morbius 😂

[theblobster]

That part when Morbius got sued and said "It's time to morb" and proceeded to morb all over the courtroom was so morbin awesome.

[GenericProtagonist]

I love how everybody actively refuses to refer to Morbius as a vampire and just calls him a "Morb".

[danielyang]

Can’t wait for the upcoming sequels:
Morbius 2: more bius
Morbius 3: the morb the merrier
Morbius 4: back for morb

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

Unfortunately, only a sequel for Morbius will be the only thing to cure my Morbid Morbesity.

The thought of MatPat explaining the entire mcu timeline and lore in a court room is a hilarious concept and I would love to see it happen.

[windiedoessomething]

Morbius is one of the movies of all time. The actors all acted and the writing was definitely written. I would rate it /10.

[bladedancer]

For a movie with such a movie reception it’s sort of impressive that there’s been a morbillion videos made about it

[ryanhack]

Here’s a theory for you… Could Marvel sue Sony for damaging the integrity of its storytelling by referencing their multiverse but not following the rules of said multiverse? Could Marvel make the case that Sony had done damage to their characters and sue for Spidey to revert to their control? Not that they would but I think it would be a fun theory.

[SleepyPathos]

I feel so bad for Matt Smith being in this. He’s a phenomenal actor, and my favorite Doctor in Doctor Who, so for him to be in a movie that bombed so bad (plus having to act with Jared Leto🙄) makes me feel awful for him.

Film Theory Idea: I was watching the episode of Phineas and Ferb where they build an observatory and the boys basically steal a giant pair of glasses and that got me thinking, how many laws have Phineas and Ferb broken?

[forkwithasuit]

Morbius is one of the most movies ever. The scene where Morbius teamed up with Graggle Simpson, Quandale Dingle, Mr. Beast, and the Minions to defeat Cocomelon was one of the most movie scenes ever. The writing was. The director did. The actors were. The Movie definitely was.

[emanmodnar]

That moment I realize how much not watching television at all is affecting me when I had no idea this movie existed until youtubers started complaining about it and calling it bad.

[wsteelix]

The fact that Morbius 2: It's Morbin Time will never grace us with its presence is a crime against humanity

[some-random-coder_]

The fact that mat can just make a meme episode and end up looking so deeply into things is just funny

[lstmarble]

if I had a nickel for every time MatPat discovered that a comedically bad movie was possibly illegal I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

[impositor.]

Honestly, morbius is one of the movies of all time. The script was written, the director directed and my favorite part, the actors acted, a real morbing legend. The morb was real with this one.

[Galimeer]

The fact that Sony released Morbius twice and it flopped both times is already funnier than any joke that could be made about the movie

[Xadov]

It truly was a movie…that I still haven’t watched. I was intimidated by the amount of Morbing in the movie
