Anyone whose ever studied acting knows that Method Acting does not mean being your character 24/7, rather it is a series of exercises or methods you use to embody the character prior to performing. I can't help but think actors who claim that their bad behaviour outside of set is due to them getting into character are just looking for an excuse to be selfish idiots.

Reasons Jared Leto keeps getting work in spite of being Jared Leto: 1. He has an Oscar. Any movie with Jared Leto in it can advertise itself as staring an Academy Award winner. 2. He's very good looking. No need to elaborate on this point. 3. He has a very vocal (and literal) cult. Studio thinking is that for every single fan being vocal about their love for something or someone, there must be at least five more fans who feel the same but aren't vocal about it. While Leto's cult is relatively small, on paper they represent a massive audience. An audience that doesn't exist, but executives haven't realized that yet.

That whole "us vampires are superior to humans so we should rule over them" is a very common trope in vampire stories. I keep seeing it over and over again and you know what? It makes sense. I'm not crazy about it, but it makes sense. HOWEVER, it doesn't work here because they are in a super-hero universe where every other guy has super powers. Vampires are not this ONE thing that is different and superior to humans. It's just one of the countless other things, and not even at the top of the food chain. A perhaps more fitting group who would have that mentality or philosophy should be, well, mutants. And as far as I know some of them already think that way. But vampires? In a super hero world? No dude, you're not at the peak. You're just a slightly stronger guy who can hear very well and needs to drink other people's bodily fluids to get his daily calorie intake. Reminds me of that joke from the first end-game movie, where Dr Strange is introduced to Tony Stark, and Tony makes fun of him for being a wizard because he doesn't believe in magic. That joke would work in our world, or some other universe where there's no tomfullery in general, but in the MCU and especially at the point where the story currently was, Tony had seen so many things, so many people and creatures with all kinds of powers, which makes his joke nonsensical. It's like being an atheist in a D&D world or something.

Hoffman mentioned that he had personally gone without sleep for 72 hours to get in character. To which Olivier replied: "My dear boy, why don't you just try acting?"

The problem with Morbius is that they in no way and form made him a villain, not even an antihero; an almost hero I would say. Realistically the only bad thing he does is on the boat and in universe they say that's not a bad thing. Matt Smith's character should have been Morbius with some of the elements of Leto's Morbius and the climax and ending of the movie should have been the start of a redemption arc, or an arc that turns him into an antihero.

Matt Smith is one of my favorite actors, and I sincerely hope that this dumpster fire of a movie didn't leave a bad taste in his mouth regarding comic book-related movies. There aren't enough words to describe how much I want him to be cast in a good comic book role through the MCU. I want my favorite Doctor to appear in the MCU, dangit! Bonus points if we can get a lil' Raggedy Man and Amy Pond reunion of sorts.

With a clear throughline, this movie could've undeniably worked. I would opt for self-deception. Have Morbius be obsessed with finding a cure to his rare blood disease and break all manner of laws and moral principles in the process. But his transgressions are filtered through his POV and dismissed as means to an end. His obsession can extend to how he approaches treating his patients. He seems to bond with the little girl (who's completely forgotten about halfway through the movie we got) and is reminded of Milo (who I wouldn't compound with Hunger) whom he couldn't save back in the day. As luck would have it, he manages to cure himself while taking care of her. He also figures out that his newly boosted immune system could be the key to healing her. But he has to dose himself with a highly volatile version of the serum that cured him in the first place. He takes the risk and is turned into The Living Vampire. His bloodlust is complicated by the fact that he can only sustain himself on either rare blood types or the blood of people with rare underlying health conditions. Unfortunately, the girl fits the bill and he struggles to be around her. When he's on the verge of giving in to his craving, either her mother or cousin comes by and ends up drained instead. She sees him for what he is: a monster. And the deceptive self-image he kept intact for 30+ years unravels in one fell swoop: he didn't actually forge a meaningful bond with "Milo" but rather fantasized about it and preferred to call every new kid occupying the bed next to his by that particular name without actually caring about them. Also, he experimented on patients before, sometimes to further his own research, sometimes to figure out the right diagnosis for someone whose odds of survival seemed more favorable - think Gregory House on steroids and gamma radiation. This kind of narrative wouldn't even need a villain per se. If you want, you can tease the existence of Hunger to set him up for a sequel. But having Morbius luck out in whom he slaughtered on that ship (morally reprehensible thugs and guns for hire) and reveal that Milo is to blame for all the other murders is taking the easy way out. Challenge us viewers by pulling the rug out from under us and leaving us uncertain as to how we feel about the protagonist. That way, Kraven would be justified in hunting him down in a sequel or his own solo outing.

As a community theater actor, I've worked with several people who thought they were doing "Method Acting." They weren't. The Method is a very specific series of emotional and physical exercises meant to help flesh out a performance; it has fuck-all to do with being in-character even when not actively working. The logic I believe these people use is, "many great actors have done X, Y, and Z when they work. Therefore, if I do X, Y, and Z while I work, I too will be considered a great actor." They don't give a shit about their final performance, they just want people to think highly of them because they made their (needlessly difficult) process so public. I would expect nothing less from Jared Leto, a man who constantly brags about how long he meditates.

So he stood backstage, right behind the set, so he could be "in character" and overhear the scene every fucking show; it was a very narrow space, and all of us who actually needed to move through there had to literally step over him as he (helpfully?) laid on the floor. I heard of one guy, who I never worked with, who basically sexually harassed all the women in the show because his character was a rapist (supposedly that show had to constantly scramble to replace female actors as they all kept quitting during rehearsal, but the Method Rapist was a friend of the director so he stuck around. Again, I wasn't in that show, so I don't know more about it). That guy was the extreme version; usually it's just confined to doing your character work in a very public way. The way I see it, these faux-Method guys are getting on stage and want everyone to recognize them as actors, not whatever character they're meant to be playing. They do whatever "actory" things they remember hearing about Brando and James Dean, even though it doesn't in any way help their performance. While everyone else is working to create the show that they want, the faux-Method boys are working to create the personal life that they want. They want to be the deep, talented, bad-boy artist. In their minds, if they make everyone know how much "hard work" they do, then everyone will see them the way they want to be seen. It's sad. It's like a bunch of guys whose mindset never left high school. Everything I've heard about Leto sounds just like the assholes I've worked with: good-looking, moderately talented, inflated ego, desperate need for validation.

I just performed in my high school’s musical production, and the kid who played the villain used what seemed to me like genuine Method Acting. He stayed “in character” throughout the three hour show, meaning that he wasn’t goofing around with friends backstage like he usually would, and was generally staying very stoic and serious. But he was still being conscientious and helpful towards the other actors and crew all the while. I’m still not entirely sure what qualifies as “Method Acting”, but regardless, it’s pretty embarrassing that an 18 year old had a better understanding of how to conduct himself as an actor than a Hollywood star. Edit: Ok I’m stupid, apparently Method Acting has nothing to do with staying in character outside of scenes. Anyways, my point still stands that it’s possible to retain some parts of your character offstage/offset without being a complete douchebag.

Marvel generated approximately 2% hype in the months leading up to this movie’s release and the only logical theory to explain this is that somebody watched it after it had been shelved for two years just as Marvel were planning the film’s promotion and went: “Oh god, this is actually torture. Whatever we budgeted, use it for Moon Knight instead.”

I think the thing that bothered me most about this movie is the sheer fact that he acts like it is some horrific terrible uncontrollable event. Like the man does have a blood disease like you said, him getting transfusions isn't strange-so he has easy access to human blood and no one would question it. He could just go underground for a bit and be like "Oh I found some wild method that worked" or just move and cut all contact and start over.

At least the existence of fan works online is consistent evidence that people want to see these relationships in the media they consume, and that it would receive support from these communities if only producers would buck up and allow them to happen canonically.

This anecdote pops up in my head whenever I see Leto tbh. I'm of the opinion that if someone has to stay in character full time, they're not actually that good at acting. Like, keeping an accent up because accents are hard to jump into and out of (like Brad Douriff in Lord of the Rings) or bringing an important prop everywhere with you to build the familiarity with it that your character has (like Viggo Mortensen did in the same) is fine, but both those guys were *themselves* off set, just with a different accent or carrying a sword everywhere. If the only way you can get in character is to live as that character, you should consider a different job that doesn't so drastically impact your life, and give the role to one of the dozens of other talented actors who are right for the role and can do it without being a Problem.

Theory-It is possible that the symbiote drop left behind by Eddie in NWH forced the spell to balance it out by sending Toomes to the Venomverse as "Schrodinger's Venom" was still "here" and "there"....so the spell took the only other villain in the MCU who knew Peter's identity "Toomes" and sent him instead to the same intended destination of Venom to balance the scales. It's a reach but the only thing i can see making it work. Toomes motivations at the end of Homecoming is open to interpretation. He could have simply been saving Peter for himself and now without the knowledge of Spider-man's identity could alter his outlook greatly. He does not suggest teaming up to fight Spider-man but to the more vague idea of "doing some good". Now...where he got those new wings from in a universe without the chutari tech is anybody's guess.

jared leto gives method acting a bad name, and he isnt even method trained (or using the method for that matter! since method acting doesn’t entail living in character outside of scenes at all)

EXACTLY he is not method acting at all, he is just taking things that he has heard, turning it up to 11, and saying that it is method acting without really applying much (if any) of the actual method

Genuinely a remarkable movie. A masterclass in fact. A supreme shining example. A peak outing and unequivocally insurmountable achievement in abject mediocrity and banality. The finest example of a cash grab at a saturated genre, that entirely hedged it bets on being adjacent to a better franchise than the one it sort of represents. Whatever liminal space Morbius and Venom exist in sure is trying hard to exist despite every film working so hard to kill it in the cradle

morbius sure is one of the movies ever made

There is method acting, and then there is what Jared Leto does. It works sometimes, in this case, it doesn't. I haven't seen the movie but all I see in the previews is Jared Leto trying to act a certain way all the time, rather than doing what is required in the scene or moment. Is it weird that even if Jared was 'method acting', it seems similar to his Joker role?

Everything you said I agree with. You forgot to mention why Toomes even had the vulture suit in the first place. In the MCU the Tinkerer created the vulture suit from salvaged Chitauri technology left over from the battle of New York. Toomes is now in the Venom/Morbius universe which means no New York Chitauri battle so no left over Chitauri technology and no Tinkerer to create the suit for him. Toomes is not a mechanical engineer so how did he get a suit made and where did he get the materials from? This is a brand new universe to him so all current MCU locations don't exist in the Venom/Morbius universe. It would also cost a shit ton of money to construct a suit like that (he is not a mechanical engineer) and he is a prisoner who was transported into a new universe which means he is technically a homeless person.

I don't know what the studio expected filming a script from the guys that brought us: Dracula Untold, The Last Witchhunter and Gods of Egypt. Of these, only the first was financially (more or less) successful. So, this seems like a weird choice even if you are only in it for the money.

Somehow the 90's Spider-Man animated series Morbius who drained blood from suckers on his hands since censorship meant he couldn't bite people and ranted about "craving plasma" was better than this one.

Remember: Sony thought the memes would translate into a decent amount more box office a second time around.

This movie makes Blade III look like a masterpiece.

"Why ruin a good character?!" I felt that

I actually worked on set with Jared Leto during the filming of this. The whole 'using crutches' thing was just a cover-up for what had ACTUALLY happened; every morning he'd turn up of set, and terrorize random tecchies by eating a pound of his own "Morbius' Special guano" (shit) in front of them, in order to 'get into character'. After a point it made him so sick that he vomited on the floor and then slipped in the vomit, screaming "AH! Michael Morbius NEVER slips!". The fall sprained his hip, but as he got up off the floor, a comedically large anvil accidentally fell on his head, which made him do a Tom and Jerry yell. The injuries forced him to use crutches while he recovered, but weirdly the wheelchair thing _was_ a method acting choice (the head trauma made him think Morbius used a wheelchair). There was the whole incident where he kept asking us to give him rabies so he could imitate a bat more effectively but I think the worst thing was 'Slow-mo time'. Sometimes he'd scream "Slow-Mo!" and we'd all have to pretend to be moving in slow motion, as you might expect. One poor assistant was carrying coffees and Jared activated slow-mo time for so long that the coffees went cold. When Jared asked for his, he got super mad at her because it wasn't hot, and when she tried to explain he just screamed "Replace it with your blood!" Then he pushed her to the ground and bit her neck and just sucked all the blood from her body. She was _totally_ desiccated, it was horrible. It was just an all round bad experience.

I was wondering if that was gonna be his lover or the villain(or both).

How Leto didn´t get cancelled yet is a mystery to me. He has been described as an horrible actor/ coworker to work with by so many of his costars for a long time now. And it seems this has been going on for decades. My brother worked as a roadie when 30STM were at a festival and he had the displeasure to his stage lead. The stories he told me about how Leto behaved made me dislike him instantly. Apparently he seems to have a thing for young girls that worhsip the ground he walks on and threats them like shit.

what?! i have been watching your videos and have been so entertained for SO LONG but wasn't subscribed until now?! sorry about that! thank you for putting great stuff out

Why did it have to be Jared Leto. Why. The Morbius comics weren't bad and could have been turned into something really cool for the big screen but this didn't hit the mark on so many levels. It feels like a genuine lack of care on the studio's part - for the source material, for the audience, and for storytelling in general.

The comics were pretty decent for a fair while, though mostly it worked best when in tandem with the rest of the Midnight Sons characters. I feel like if they'd been making this back around the same time as the Blade films, or Ghost Rider, and we got some kind of synergy that implied they could do the Rise of the Midnight Sons crossover, it could've been hype. Like, the first Blade film was the start of the Marvel Comics movie boom, and it could've laid the way for a whole Marvel Dark Universe kind of deal, with Blade (and eventually a proper take on the Nightstalkers. I did come to enjoy Ryan Reynolds' take on Hannibal King, but he's completely divorced from the comic character), Morbius, Ghost Rider and Blaze (yeah, I'd rather see them as the separate versions, Dan Ketch's Rider and Blaze with the Hellfire shotgun), Darkhold Redeemers, etc. Could've been a place to kick-start Dr. Strange, at that. Then again, IIRC, Blade was a New Line thing, not a Sony thing specifically, so...there's that. Instead, Sony does these weird, totally detached things that have no sense of a combined universe, no real continuity with their world...and they wonder why their stuff never stands up to the MCU.

love ur constant back and forth between "LAY-TO" AND "LEE-TO" but never actually using "Leto"

I literally raged SO HARD when it went from killing "Daddy" to killing the FORCED LOVE INTEREST. All in like 5 minutes. UUUGH.

I love method acting. I am a method actress. Jared Leto doesn’t understand that being a method actor doesn’t mean terrorizing your coworkers offset when action isn’t called. You still need to acknowledge the difference between the character and yourself and make sure you can turn it off. It can be difficult depending on how intense the character is, but if you can’t handle it, you shouldn’t be doing the role.
