I can't get my head around the fact that this (Morbius) was even made. He's a D list MARVEL character and a side one at that for the majority of time in the comics.

I liked the first two seasons of that never watched the third now I'm intrigued though :lol:
The third gets off to a pretty slow start (I nearly gave up on it) but arguably becomes the best of them all, I'd recommend giving it a watch if you get the time!

Hes one of the only marvel characters Sony has rights to. Basically any and every Spiderman villain has a rumoured movie in the works.
You could probably make a watchable film about it, its a standard vampire / the fly story. Its not like there aren't examples of that kind of film done well. Them making a shit movie isn't really about the premise.

I really liked the third season of it :nervous:

Not sure if that's a controversial take or not.
Nah third season was good. The start of it was just slow and off-kilter in a way that made sense given what was happening plot-wise but was off-putting on first watch.

I think this is an area marvel suffers in. People will think this is a marvel film when it's not really, it's a Sony film about a marvel character. And it's terrible.

From an interview with the Morbius director:



Imagine putting that much effort in as an actor only to be consistently awful.

Leto is a complete and utter bellend

Reminds me of a story Dustin Hoffman always tells about how when working with Lawrence Olivier, who when he heard about Hoffman's method style and how he lost a lot of weight and even got his own tooth pulled out for a role went to him and said " have you ever thought about just acting?"

Can you stop posting now please. I'm getting triggered.

:lol:

Pattinson has a decent take on it as well - ''I always say people who do method acting, you only ever see people do the method when they're playing assholes''

That's literally all this thread is? You've turned this thread into your own personal tumblr account posting all things anti marvel whether the point is valid or not, and diluted any point you may have had to begin with.

There's enough hatred in the world. Please take your negativity some place else.

Thank you.

Oh come on, why can't we let @Sweet Square have his private place where he can vent his frustration with films.

They are all valid proof of Scorsese's point.

On this page alone, what does Peter Parker changing hair style accidently mid scene, or morbias tanking have anything to do with scorseses point?
