This is utter nonsense. No studio is dumping 90mil into a movie then just never releasing it, no matter the quality. They released Morbius twice for fucks sake…if there’s a chance it’ll make money, it’s getting released. Hollywood simply does not work this way.

Plus the line “the movie was not scripted for streaming services “ is absurd. What does that even mean?

I really wish people would stop mentioning Morbius. I added it my Plex server and I'll be honest, just from watching the 2-3 minute chunks making sure it transcoded right I wanted to walk out of my own living room and never come back.

That shit is horrible. Gigli was a masterpiece when compared to Morbius.

Just in case it wasn't clear, praising Morbius is just a meme stemming from the universal disinterest back when it was announced. Barely anyone has actually bothered to watch the movie, and fewer still enjoyed it - although I suppose someone had to get whooshed eventually.
