Morbius Reaches Digital May 17, Blu-Ray June 14

Morbius has been the butt of jokes in nerd circles since it came out; pretty much everyone I know thinks the film’s mere existence is hilarious. In the comics, Morbius is a minor Spider-Man villain who only shows up sometimes and isn’t very popular. One common comment I hear is “How does a Morbius movie even make sense?”

Here's an idea: in villain movies, instead of making them do the right thing, make them do the wrong thing at the end. It works for Batman's rogues gallery, but not for Spider- Man's.
