Well, well, well. So here's the thing:
I watched Morbius (2022) a few days ago, and in that essay I will say:
I realized I've got a really strange liking (read; partner preference) in tall, dark/blonde, traumatized men that have an insane side along with a soft side. (Ben Solo, Loki, Kaz Brekker, Anthony Lockwood, Morpheus, Sanji and now Morbius). I am not proud nor ashamed to admit that.
As a child, vampires where a topic of myths that I disliked. I mean, blood, fangs, etc. Then I watched Hotel Transilvania and I softened. Now Morbius and I wanna write a fanfic. (You know you're a writer when you see something, got interested, investigate, and wanna write about it).
Michael's representation was something I appreciate: the softness, kindness, strength, will, determination, suffering... ✨GOLD✨
As a psychology student, the huge difference between Morbius and Milo's reaction and dealing with their vampire side is a phenomenon I intend to study. Just by that, I say that the actors job was brilliant. I mean, Jared Leto? Matt Smith? 🤨 What else ye need?
The refference to Doctor Who... ✨👄✨ (or maybe I just connected it out of the blue hehe).
I'm not gonna lie: the movie could have been better. Yet, I felt it was quite THE movie. A lot of things shall happen now, since these events have place in Peter 3's universe which is also Venom's universe.
Also; I felt that Martine and Michael's reationship could have been better without a kiss. It felt rushed, unnecesary. The rest; ✨👌
I shall impatiently wait for the moment the whole Spiderverse collaps in itself and bring Miguel O'Hara the worst of headaches. I shall be laughing like Maleficent.
In conclusion: 8/10. Lets see how it continues.
Something about Bix and Cassian's kid growing up in a world without a deathstar. Something about their son only knowing what few memories his mom can tell before needing to be excused. Something about him growing angry at Cassian for leaving them. Something about him letting his anger slip. Something about Bix sternly sitting their son at the table and finally sharing what happened. What Cassian did, what she did. Something about Bix squeezing their son's hands as she firmly speaks through the tears in her throat. “He would have chased us to the corners of the universe to be together. If you're angry, be angry at me. I never gave him the choice to choose you.” Something about their kid being quiet, about him unable to look at his mother as he speaks “Why did it have to be him? Why did it have to be my dad?” Something about them holding each other, both acutely aware of the space Cassian should be. “I have asked myself that everyday”
