Morbius wasn't great, and Jared Leto is something of an ass, but the guy doesn't deserve a Razzie for this one, nor does Adria Arjona. Their performances definitely were not the issue, the script and the directing were the issue. Sony creating a Spiderverse is just really a stupid idea.

I feel like Razzie winners are chosen more by what they think will be funny than by who actually deserves it.

Just a few of the many it will soon be receiving for the upcoming slate of lawn biscuits they've announced so far.

This movie wasn't good but my guess is it will be better than the movies that Sony has announced for their Spidey-adjacent slate

The 43rd Annual Golden Raspberry (Razzie) has awarded Marvel Studio's Morbius two awards. The first award is for Jared Leto for worst actor and the second is for Adria Arjona for worst supporting actress.

The 43rd Annual Golden Raspberry (Razzie) Nominations were announced in January and the award ceremony took place this afternoon, March 11th, the day before the Academy Awards.

Cassandra Webb passed on the Madame Web mantle to Julia Carpenter, so there is a young and attractive Madame Web in the comics. That said, the likelihood that movie or Kraven will be any good are incredibly slim. Venom should have been a flop and Sony seems to have learned the wrong lessons from Morbius.

Ahhhh, ok. That at least makes a bit more sense, then- I'm not up on the current comics. I assumed it was just typical Hollywood goofiness. Yeah, I've been surprised by how well the two Venom movies have done- Venom is a character that is just so intrinsically tied to Spider-Man/Peter Parker, that my interest level in movies that completely divorce his backstory from Spidey's is very limited. Kraven seems like one of the least-likely Spidey villains to be able to make a decent solo film about- Morbius, after first appearing in Spidey comics, at least established himself as his own "dark hero." It was still a terrible idea to make a poorly-written solo movie about him, but Kraven? That's a real head scratcher.

I really hope that the Kraven movie bombs, and Sony reconsiders all of these poorly-thought-out movies that focus on random villains and supporting characters. A Madame Web movie (except she's young and hot!)? They're making bad choices that would be comedically terrible, if I didn't care about the characters. We're being deprived of Spidey movies with a variety of his villains because of this Sony goofiness.

or Spider-Woman

or Black Cat

They had plans for a Black Cat and a Silver Sable movie and they scrapped both. Then they wanted to put the two in the one movie and scrapped that. Clearly they are too much of a big name to use.
