Lol, wut?
Marvel just put out a very cool animated Halloween special featuring several of their best-known characters – all played by their Marvel Legends action-figure counterparts and they included a very knowing Morbius clip.
Morbius, as many of you will know, came out last year and starred Jared Leto as the titular (anti)hero and while the movie wasn’t as bad as many would make out, it did become something of a living, breathing (undead?), ever-evolving meme online.
Anyone who knows what this means will undoubtedly know the phrase ‘It’s Morni’ Time!’ which makes no sense in the context of the movie but after one movie-goer saw the movie and tweeted afterward: “best part of Morbius was when he said ‘IT’S MORBIN’ TIME’ and morbed all over those guys,” the phrase became synonymous with the movie and the two are forever interlocked now.
And Marvel are clearly aware of this because at the 34 secs mark, Morbius says the now immortal line.
It’s a fun wee nod to let the fans know that Marvel are aware of what’s happening with its characters… even the ones stuck over at Sony.
Also, that would be a WILD party!

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
