Sigh-Fi

My wife and I sat down to watch Morbius on Netflix. I thought it was a show/series, but when it seemed to be going on a long time, asked if it was the pilot and how many episodes there were. My wife told me it was a movie. The funny thing is, when I thought it was a show, I thought it was pretty decent. When I found out it was a movie, my opinion plummeted. I might have had a similar shift for a made-for-Netflix movie vs a theatrical release.

Long way of saying, maybe it has more to do with audience expectations. I bet most people expected more from a movie in a major blockbuster series than from Morbius.
