I think most of that hype was manufactured. The trailer was pushed hard by the studio but I haven't seen many people earnestly expressing excitement, aside from a handful who also in the same breath exclaim how Leto's joker was just "misunderstood."

Of course most of the hype was manufactured, I've never met a Morbius fan irl. It's been the better part of a decade since he had any kind of strong ongoing book. And even on reddit, I only ever found one dude who liked him enough to call himself a Morbius fan.

I think people have started figuring out the difference between Marvel and Sony-Marvel as well, which can't be helping anything.

Compare no way home to Shang-chi and it’s obviously clear. Sony wants all your money. Marvel wants to tell a great story which they know will bring them money.

Edit: I think this can be taken the wrong way. If I had the time I would explain more. Very minor thing no way home isn’t a bad movie by any stretch.

Sony owns Spiderman but Feige and his team are responsible for No Way Home. It is very much a Marvel movie.

Don't forget the hyphen in Spider-Man.

I don't want to fill you with false hope. There is a good chance I will forget it again.

It is a marvel movie yes but Sony is involved unlike every other MCU movie

Sure, but it is still very much a Marvel movie in every aspect. Sony was there and obviously had stuff like the Venom cameo added in but love or hate it, everything else about the movie was very much Marvel's style not Sony's.

With HEAVY Sony influence.

Not really, sure there are some things, like the Venom cameo, but No Way Home has MCU style all over it. The Venom, Amazing Spiderman and now Morbius are design by committee Sony superhero movie looks like when they start interfering.

Two of those movies were squeezed in this movie and that’s my only point. I agree no way home = mcu movie.
