People Are Having More Fun With "Morbius Sweep" Memes Than the Actual 'Morbius' Movie
Published May 16 2022, 3:39 p.m. ET
People can't seem to stop talking about Morbius. Whether or not that's a good thing for the film depends on who you ask, considering the Marvel movie was delayed for several years and was released in April 2022 to scathing reviews. The film stars Jared Leto as the titular Michael Morbius, a terminally-ill scientist who becomes a vampiric anti-hero after injecting himself with an experimental cure for his sickness. Yet the film has generated a subculture of fans who love to make fun of the film.
People have tweeted all sorts of hilarious memes in response to the film. Using the hashtag #MorbiusSweep, the internet is sarcastically calling Morbius one of the greatest movies ever by pointing out their favorite "so bad, it's good" aspects. Fans on Twitter seem to love using the hashtag to celebrate the film that we can't even tell if they love it or hate it. One thing is for sure: Morbius has made a bigger impact than most would have expected. Here are our favorite "Morbius Sweep" memes.

Official leaks for a 'Morbius' sequel.

One's got to go.
Humans can typically last a few days without food or water. But how many days can someone last without seeing Morbius?
Mighty Morbin' Marvel Legends.
This hilarious fake scene from the movie is way better than a character saying the title of the movie in the movie. Every day is Morbin' Time when you're on the #MorbiusSweep hype train.
Pretty sure that's not what it stands for.
It's hard to believe that this hilarious happenstance of trending terms is a coincidence. Even Morbius Sweep can get a little NSFW.

Don't cut yourself on these edgy tattoos
