Morbius Pitch Meeting

Step inside the pitch meeting that led to Morbius!
Subscribe to the NEW CHANNEL for more Pitch Meetings: / @pitchmeetings
Not a whole lot of people enjoyed Jared Leto’s interpretation of The Joker in 2016’s Suicide Squad- but Leto was quick to rebound from that and get cast in a Sony Marvel project… which then got delayed several years. Now, in 2022, the world is finally ready to see… Morbius.
Morbius definitely raises a few questions. Like why were so many Spider-Man references in the trailers but then not in the movie? Why does bat DNA give him such sculpted abs? Is this the most bloodless vampire movie ever? What happened to that little girl? Why is his assistant/love interest a vampire now? Wasn’t Morbius going to take out Milo AND himself?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Morbius! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

"He puts her into a coma and then we never come back to that story line" I feel that says a lot about the film and the amount of care put into it 😅

[@IRanOutOfPhrases]

The biggest 'wtf' moment for me in Morbius was when Morbs needed a quick fix for blood. He got super lucky though as he was walking down the streets. A couple of paramedics were on scene at an apartment, and they were carrying blood with them (which I'm pretty sure paramedics would rarely ever just happen to have on them?) And even more fortunately, they enter the home while leaving the blood super conveniently outside on the front steps. They very easily could have continued carrying the cooler into the building with them, but they decided to leave packets of blood completely unattended like a Mark Rober glitter-bomb package. It's also weird, because this is framed as a 'morally good' way for Morbs to get his fix, as he can just swipe the blood, not having to murder anyone. ....But I suspect that in taking that blood, he probably just killed whoever it was intended for.

Just keep in mind that almost every movie has a bunch of minor flaws that we simply choose to ignore in order to enjoy the story (known as suspension of disbelief). I love these pitch meetings, but I would be hesitant to consider them valid movie criticism. It's entertainment that highlights continuity errors and the like and display them in a biased negative light. This could probably be done to your favourite movie as well, no matter how great the acting or cinematography or editing, etc.

@@SatieGnossienne It depends. I mean, there's suspension of disbelief and downright bad writing or acting or something. Sometimes plotholes and continuity errors are too big to ignore. Between all the gags he definitely hits on some valid points. Doesn't mean you can't enjoy the movie of course. Also, he already did it to our favorite movies lol!

@@awandererfromys1680 Oh, for sure. I didn't mean to imply that by suspending our disbelief we'll just accept any plot contrivance they throw at us. The good movies just know to limit them below a certain threshold so that it won't bother most of us (excluding the sort of people looking to nitpick :P). True, he's covered a lot of movies at this point, so makes sense that someone's favourites have been given the pitch meeting treatment.

Good god, could Morbius be any more "by the numbers" than this? 1) Sick protagonist invents a thing 2) Tests it on himself 3) Becomes a superhero 4) Friend does the same thing 5) Becomes a super villain that the hero has to put down 6) Friend or love interest is being followed but somehow ends up alone with hero for a talk. Are there any clichés that aren't in this thing or other clichés in this thing that I missed?

[@roysmith770]

1. Medical scientist has an affliction. 2. Think bats don't have this problem 3. Thinks injecting a bat serum is a good idea. 4. It is not. 5. Brilliant doctor is transformed. 6. Doctor is now a vampire but a living blood drinker, not an undead one. 7. Doctor also gets super strength (which bats don't have), flying (which is much easier when you're bat sized) and radar and a drinking problem. Is it the story of Morbius, created by Marvel in 1971? Nope, Kirk Langstrom / Manbat, created by DC a year earlier.

[@johnshepard7133]

7. PG-13 for broader appeal which does NOT suit the potential darkness of the material.

Problem is: a lot of the problems are only easy to see when the movie's done. So, ironing out the flaws can go from just small corrections in editing to rewriting the script of the film (aka requiring so much reshooting and effects to be done all over again). It's a nice idea, but doesn't usually work in practice (and test screenings basically cover a lot of that, anyway)
