it's inevitable that all memes will
eventually die no matter how great they
are they will eventually be retired and
achieve dank status god rest their soul
and we've recently just seen it happen
to the beloved morbius meme you see
memes don't normally just die of natural
causes or old age the majority of the
time they're murdered in cold blood and
in this case the meme was publicly
executed by the very person that the
meme is about jared leto
what are you reading
nothing nothing really just uh
and now the meme is dead and the cause
of death is posting cringe
so it's pretty safe to say that the
morbius meme has run its course and this
was really the nail in the coffin jared
leto letting people know that he's in on
it now he gets it you know it's morbid
time time to morb he makes this short
little tick tock here about the script
for morbius 2 and he very clearly has
seen the meme and is trying to embrace
it and that's cute and wholesome to a
certain level in most cases but in a
case like this it just outright ruins it
it just kills the meme it lets people
know that it's time to move on i'm not a
huge jared leto fan as i'm sure most of
you know because of like the cult [ __ ]
and also the weird [ __ ] he's done behind
the scenes on his productions i also
think the movies he's in are just like
absolute stinkers but regardless there's
no harm
in
people embracing the meme culture i
suppose but every single time they have
to understand that it's going to result
in the death of the meme but
interestingly enough that's not where
this story ends the fairy tale of dr
michael morbius is a gift that just
keeps on giving there was still
one morb left up their sleeve one more
surprise for everyone
sony announced that it would be
re-releasing morbius into a thousand
theaters as a way of trying to
capitalize off the meme and the hype
around the film hoping that it could
potentially have like the the room
effect where people go because they know
it's bad and they want to laugh at it
and share the experience with other
people that are there to laugh at it
just hoping that they could make a
couple extra bucks off of morbius get a
little more juice for the squeeze
because the movie didn't do very well it
flopped first time around and it looks
like they were kind of out for blood and
the internet convinced them that it was
popular enough that you know everyone
laughing at it might make them some
money so they rolled the dice and got
[ __ ] it was another embarrassing flop
again
making in total 85 grand and only 82
dollars per theater they showed it in
it was another colossal failure in fact
i believe it's the first movie to flop
twice in the same like theatrical run
it's great like that is that is a
morbius miracle
this is just another one of those
classic cases where
studio execs think internet memes equal
actual popularity in the real world
there is still a massive disconnect
between internet attention and real
world attention they it's still not one
to one yet and they just can't grasp
that concept
so they really thought this would be a
slam dunk and they just made themselves
look [ __ ] stupid all over again
it's it's amazing it's amazing it seems
they lacked the most basic understanding
of why this meme started in the first
place because the movie is a joke and
the punch line is that nobody went to
see it nobody wanted to see it nobody
cared this was the most predictable
outcome imaginable the entire thing was
based around how little interest people
had in it thus all the memes spawned
pretending like it was something
everybody watched highest grossing film
of all time and all of that [ __ ] i can't
believe they couldn't understand like
the most basic part of why this movie
became a meme and i hope they spent so
much money introducing this back into a
thousand theaters oh my god that would
be so poetic they lose even more money
on the movie while desperately trying to
capitalize off the glimmer of hope they
thought they had with the memes only to
be slapped yet again
in the box office it's it's [ __ ]
beautiful the incompetence and i just
wanted to talk about that i think the
meme is truly dead now i think it is the
the end of
all of the the morbius stuff
but what a way of going out this is the
most
heroic and like the best possible death
a meme can have
like this going out with a bang or a
massive company loses money again
just trying to
make a little something out of a meme
oh my god it's so beautiful so beautiful
yeah that's that's about it see ya
