Morbius memes just won't die. Out of absolutely nowhere, they recently got a second wind - even after the film left theatres. Because of this, some Sony executives thought it would be a great idea to put it back in cinemas, capitalizing on the shitposts. It didn't work, however. Not one bit.

One of the best things about the early days of Morbius was how its advertising team kept accidentally stumbling into shitposters. The first example of this was when they set up a Discord server, only for it to be taken
