‘Morbius,’ starring Jared Leto as a vampire, had a rocky start. The film faced numerous delays and was ultimately met with negative reviews and low box office numbers. While the character has a rich history in comics and the movie was intended as a medical thriller, marketing and the viral “It’s Morbin’ time” meme took over the conversation. There was also a disconnect between reports of Leto’s intense preparation and the final film, which featured a lot of computer-generated effects. A second release, fueled by online jokes, didn’t attract much of an audience, making ‘Morbius’ a prime example of a movie that didn’t meet audience expectations.
