Fans bank on Sony’s stupidity by petitioning for another ‘Morbius’ re-release


Just when you thought Morbin’ Time was over for good, which was a fair assumption after

[{"selector":"#anim-fdb803ff-14cb-4952-a98a-7f8e192f23e6 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(35.190429597636104%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

the Morbius re-release powered entirely by memes fell hilariously flat in spectacular style, a petition

[{"selector":"#anim-fd8c898a-e33b-46bc-88fd-17f262a1d55e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(35.190429597636104%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

has reared its head to demand that Sony send Jared Leto’s debut as the Living Vampire back into theaters for a third time.

[{"selector":"#anim-0d83e4e8-33a2-4433-b9d6-55041e24691b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(35.190429597636104%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

Obviously, we should point out that the entire thing is highly tongue-in-cheek and positively dripping in sarcasm,

[{"selector":"#anim-a3eb0e68-bf5e-44ea-82a7-7184c02e9b49 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(35.190429597636104%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

but that hasn’t stopped almost 10,000 Morbheads from lending their backing to the campaign on Change.org.

[{"selector":"#anim-f4c36a72-5abc-48c0-96e2-81cfbc741b12 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(35.190429597636104%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

You can check out the reasoning behind the notion of Morbius V3.0 below,

[{"selector":"#anim-e8ee3c28-bf70-496b-8082-10bd82dfa9d5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(35.190429597636104%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

which is largely based around the fact “everyone was busy last weekend”.

[{"selector":"#anim-f0edb4b2-e74b-4ead-9a98-44de002242bf [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(35.190429597636104%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

The Morbius craze had already jumped the shark once Leto decided to become an active participant in the bizarre phenomenon,

[{"selector":"#anim-97347417-c156-4c84-ba7f-238476acc76e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(35.190429597636104%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

but Sony themselves were guilty of outright idiocy by interpreting
