MORBIUS Star Jared Leto Teases What Fans Can Expect From His First Marvel Movie; Hints At Script Issues

@mastakilla39 - Solo films can be used as gateways into specific characters by focusing on them and what makes them who they are. The problem with Sony's films is that they only ever get one side of that character. Venom is nothing without Spider-Man as its impetus. To betray that is to fundamentally betray the character.

@TheUnworthyThor - Yeah we get Venom 2 & Spiderman this year then Morbius and Into the Spiderverse 2 next year. We're supposed to be getting 2 - 4 spider-man properties each year. I think Silk the live action tv show is supposed to come out too. Then there were rumors of a live action tv spin off of Spider Man Noir and 2099 too but don't know if that's legit.

@dracula -
My thoughts exactly. Shitshow on the horizon. I love Morbius, bought his first appearance off the shelf when it came out and followed him until I started getting into other things besides comics. Hoping it's good but fearful it will be three wipes and a shower bad.

@Skellfull - Are you alright?

@InfinitePunches - We need to start protesting UN buildings demanding a full global lockdown for three months with full pay for everyone from the IMF or your words will indeed be proven very true.

But I honestly don't think we're sick enough of Covid and all the endless lockdowns and restrictions yet.

We'll get there. As a people. As a species. In a few years r so, when everything is still exactly the same, we'll be like "What the fvck world governments?!"

@InfinitePunches - Well, it's either one single, internationally coordinated lockdown or many, many, many more for the rest of all of our lives and longer.

@Skellfull - And that kind of a response just proves that we are not yet ready to say "Enough!" to Covid or to the endless cycle of quarantining human lives.

In a few years, you'll see, as InfinitePunches does, that there will be no Post-Covid. That this kind of a restricted life-style is forever.

And you will demand that something be done once and all.

Like it should've been done early last year.

We would have been out of it by now and at a much lesser cost.
Wouldn't that have been nice? All those deaths prevented. Everybody back in business. All those Marvel movies we would have watched together at the cinema.

I would have found you at a showing of 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' and said "Hey, Skellfull! Isn't this great? You know in an alternate reality, the world was still plagued by Covid and even Black Widow hadn't even come out yet! Did you know that?"

And you would have replied "You're a [frick]ing dipshit."

@Franshu - Really? Which country is that?

Also that's not full, global lockdown, is it? There is no way that can't work. If we all lock down FULLY (and I'll bet if you look into it, even your country didn't lock down fully) then all those who have Covid will either die or get better. Ergo: no more Covid. World back to normal.

@Origame - Then that would be essential. But not everything is.
I'd say (in no particular order):
1. Food Manufacturers.
2. Food Distribution.
3&4. Those caring for the dying and the dead.
5. Public transport (only for the above workers).
6. Policing.

Can't think of anyone else who would be essential, but you have to stick to only those that we absolutely need. Skeleton Crew.
No half measures.

If you lock a house up to stop an invasion of rabid vampire cats (go with me here) but you leave a window open, then you're gonna be overrun.

@InfinitePunches -

"what if people need to leave their homes to attend funerals? Or birthdays?"

They don't get to. There is a plague. They don't really "need" to.

See this is the problem with our current generations. We're all spoilt children who can't understand that we just can't do everything we want to right now because of survival.

I know it's sad not been able to go to a funeral. But they didn't have funerals in the Great Plague of London. They left bodies on the street outside their houses to be picked up like garbage and collectively burnt.
When the pandemic began, Italy's hospitals were overrun and they were shipping bodies of by the truckload. New York had mass graves. People were not allowed to visit the dying.

And birthdays? Um, yeah no. Not really an emergency situation. Wish yourself happy birthday, go on social media, phone, text and zoom and then put on your favorite movie and eat a cake with candles in it. Done. No problem.

@InfinitePunches - Okay, nobody else is listening, probably, at this point, so I'll level with you. You are right when you say that " There are a lot of wealthy and powerful people... and it's in their best interest to mislead you".

If we did have a full global lockdown, the effects on the economy will be dire. We will recover. Eventually.

But those who would never recover? They are the 1%. The ones at the top. Those who have the most money, the most power, the most influence.

A full global lockdown would be a game changer with regards to world influence. It would level the playing field. That means that the ones at the top would sink to a level of having the same money, power and influence as a lot of people who used to be just below them.
Eventually somebody else would rise to the top. But it wouldn't necessarily be the same people who were there before. In fact that would be quite unlikely.

So if you were one of those lucky people with more money, power and influence than 99% of humanity and a full global lockdown would strip you status at the very top of the food chain, what would you be doing with all that money, power and influence?

You would be using it to influence world leaders to do everything BUT coordinating a full global lockdown, you would be using military methods of internet manipulation using companies like Cambridge Analytica to convince the people to be oppose to lockdown restrictions, playing on their fears of 1984-style fascism, feeding people with false information about statistics, making them believe that the numbers are made up, that face masks are worse for you that lockdowns GIVE you the virus and that the virus isn't that harmful if it even exists.
You would put all your efforts and money into developing a vaccine and you would have the very same people who were anti-lockdown be against those and ridicule those who are anti-vaccine.

I wonder... when you say "People get to choose their own risks", does that include anti-vaxxers? What are your thoughts about that?

Ahhh, if anybody is listening, this'll probably be deleted, because I mentioned the vaccine in a suspicious way.
