As unique as it may seem, Morbius try using the same trick Venom: there will be slaughter by Andy Serkis. Its post-credits scenes are meant to tie directly into other stories in the Marvel Multiverse. But while those featuring Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock raised some interesting questions, those of Morbius they are contrived additions to the plot. It is surprising that both the first and the second look rushed, unconvincing and no obvious connection to the main plot. But more so, the way the information they bring to the story is loose pieces with no real narrative value.
In fact, it looks like both were added after the success of Spider-Man: No Coming Home. Both lack connection to the central story told by the film. But above all, they contradict the rules of the Marvel multiverse in a disconcerting way.
Morbius, which seemed to be a transition between several narrative lines or which had hinted at its various advances, ends up being a kind of island story. One that doesn’t add much interest to Sony’s eventual spiderverse or does so in a clunky, unhealthy way.
First post-credits scene: an old acquaintance arrives in a new world
The first post-credits scene is linked – or tries to be – to the film with what is told in Spider-Man: No Coming Home. In fact, the sequence begins with what appears to be the multiverse shattering. The image recalls the exact moment Stephen Strange performs his second spell to return the villains to their respective universes. Corn what happens next has no logic or basis in the laws raised by the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The next shot Morbius it shows an empty cell in which Michael Keaton’s Adrian Toomes materializes in a white prison uniform. And he does it the same way as the villains of Spider-Man: No Coming Home They Disappear The big question that remains unanswered is why the character is sent back to another dimensional space. If the premise of Strange’s fate was to bring visitors back other dimensions to their home universes why this affected Adrian. Even weirder and weirder: Does this mean Adrian was a variant from another universe? When did something similar happen? Why did this happen?
But the most absurd in the post-credits scenes of Morbius is to come. Adrien seems disconcerted, although not entirely troubled by what he has just experienced. And in fact, when you look in the mirror hanging on the wall, you immediately have the impression of understanding what happened. “At least something is the same,” the character says without explaining or making sense of how he’s able to deduce that he’s just survived a multiverse journey. Much less, who is in a different timeline than yours and who also experienced an event between the magical and the mysterious.
Shortly after, a presenter describes the event as “completely inexplicable” and adds that Toomes will be freed, since he has not committed any crime. The scene ends without bringing out the most alarming points of the scene. Where is the Adrian of this dimension? Has it been replaced by one from another timeline? Why did the phenomenon occur? Is this another unforeseen glitch in Strange’s fate?
It could be inferred that the trailer is hinting at Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessthe multiverse is so unstable that similar events occur. However, the film does not specify this.. It seems Toomes’ presence is just a lame justification for his second, more incoherent and downright ridiculous post-credits scene.
The second post-credits scene shows the Morbius of Jared Leto driving a car at high speed on a country road. There is no indication that he ultimately decided to reverse the effect of the spell that turned him into a vampire. In reality, he looks healthy and satisfiedwhich contradicts what he has just been saying for most of the film.
Even though it’s obvious that this is a way to strengthen the future project of the sinister six, the scene does not have the slightest coherence
Suddenly, the character stops in a field and follows a line of hanging fabrics that lead him to what appears to be a specific location. Morbius he waits and a few minutes later a huge, recognizable figure appears in the sky. Adrian Toomes, this time in his Vulture outfit identical in every detail to the one he was wearing Spider-Man: Homecoming , go down to the ground. He approaches Morbius and exchanges a short dialogue with the character. “I don’t know how I got here, but I know it has to do with Spider-Man.”
Although it is clear that this is a way of strengthen the future project of the six accidents, the scene does not have the slightest coherence. Why does Vulture/Adrian Toomes wear the same costume from his original timeline? How did you find the parts to create it? Did the Toomes of this dimension have it? Does this mean that the confrontation in New York against the Chitauri army happened in this timeline? Stranger again. How could Toomes deduce that the event that took him to an unknown location is related to Spider-Man? Are you in contact with the rest of the Sinisters yet? If so, why aren’t you sure what happened?
Morbiusit finally hit theaters, after nearly two years of delay. But what promised to be a plot and visual experience of enormous interest, ended up being a fiasco. The film, perhaps the weakest related to Marvel, It’s not all nonsense on many levels. It’s also a confusing interconnection between certain ideas advanced by the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Much more with two post-credits scenes that, far from providing information, violate the careful structure that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has created.
