2022 has so far been a mixed bag for movies and memes but thankfully one of the year's biggest box office flops has managed to find a new home for itself in the memeverse.

That's right folks, 'It's Morbin Time'.

The Jared Leto vampire film, Morbius, which has a connection to Sony's ongoing attempts to make a franchise out of Spider-Man villains without actually having Spider-Man in any of the movies has been one of the most derided movies of the year to date.

The movie earned just $10 million in its second weekend in cinemas, causing it to have a 74 per cent drop in its opening weekend where it made $39 million. To date, the film has made $163,274,047 worldwide which isn't too bad but hardly what you'd expect from a big superhero film these days.
