With numerous delays, reshuffling of release dates, and much of the internet branding Morbius as the worst Marvel film ever made before its actual release, the film had nothing but an uphill battle. After years of waiting, Morbius finally flew into theaters on April 1, 2022 with largely negative reviews from critics. Currently sitting at a 16% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes, it is certainly not the kind of reception any director hopes for. Daniel Espinosa recently sat down with Insider to try to make sense of the backlash and to discuss what the future holds for the Sony Cinematic Universe.

References, Easter eggs, and callbacks have become important structural, narrative, and production components of the average MCU and DC films and television shows. It helps with the overarching narrative that connects multiple titles. It is also a fun way to pay tribute to the original source as a form of fan service. Interestingly, at least for the time being, Moon Knight does not make any references to the wider MCU. In fact, it seems to completely ignore some events you would expect most people to know about like “the Snap” and the return of the missing people five years later.

My tiny little mind unburdened from media criticism and fascist ideology was completely enamored with the lore of an alien crash landing on Earth and saving the puny dumb little Earthlings in his fancy red cape. I never even touched the comics, I loved Superman based purely on Christopher Reeve’s performance.
