* TheNineties: The flashback with a young Michael and Milo is set in this decade, though exactly when is unclear due to a lack of dates outside of the text saying it's twenty-five years before the main events of the film. So it's likely between 1995 and 1997 (the film was supposed to be released in 2020 but ended up being postponed until 2022).

** They also really tried to push the Marvel connection in the advertising, with the tagline being "A New Marvel Legend Arises" and the trailers saying the film was made "in association with" Marvel, which is deliberately misleading given that Marvel had nothing to do with the film's production except for having licensed the characters to Sony back in the 90s.

* AdvertisingByAssociation: Nearly all promotional material for the film has emphasized that it was produced by [[Creator/ColumbiaPictures the same studio]] as ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'' and ''Film/{{Venom|2018}}''. After the release and smash success of ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', promotional material for ''Morbius'' began to emphasize the connection to that film instead of its predecessor, though they continued to cite the first ''Venom'' rather than [[Film/VenomLetThereBeCarnage its sequel]].

** [[spoiler:A couple of the people Milo kills are unsympathetic, such as the newsstand vendor who rudely insults Michael and calls him a freak or the three jerks at the bar who try to pick a fight with Milo when he tries to talk to a girl and act entitled over her even though she's shown to have enjoyed his company]].


Added DiffLines:

* GoodCopBadCop: Agents Stroud and Rodriguez have this dynamic: Rodriguez is snarky and largely unsympathetic towards Michael, acting quite aggressive towards him sometimes, while Stroud is reasonable and cool-headed, trying to sympathize with Michael and understand where he's coming from.


Added DiffLines:

* RedOniBlueOni: Compared to the more downcast and brooding Michael, Milo is much more upbeat and impulsive. [[spoiler:This is more pronounced when they become vampires: Michael spends most of his time sulking over his newfound powers and sees it as a curse while Milo eagerly embraces it and develops a larger-than-life personality]].


Added DiffLines:

* StalkerWithACrush: [[spoiler:Milo creepily spies on Martine in her apartment at one point and later watches her kiss Michael from afar. It's implied that he has a crush on her and that he's jealous of his brother's relationship with her]].

** The trailers make it seem like the boy being admitted into the hospital who later gets bullied by some local schoolboys is a young Michael in a flashback scene. It's actually Milo, though this was presumably to conserve his identity and keep his presence to a minimum in order to avoid spoilers.
** It's also implied in the trailers that Michael got his powers from the cave in Costa Rica where he retrieves the vampire bats, where in the actual movie he gets them on the ship a little while later.
