Why only the two choices in blood?
In Morbius Michael and Lucious have blood born diseases and as a result Michael tries to develop a cure. He first comes up with synthetic blood.
Then he tries to come up with a cure but it's a horrible mistake, making him into a vampire. Once he's a vampire he initially has 6 hours, which reduces to 4, to sate his hunger with synthetic blood. The alternative is human blood. But why not animal blood? It seems as though that would be a better solution but it's not even explored in Morbius. Did I miss something?
Best Answer
The entire notion of Vampirism is based in horror folklore. To borrow from the Wiki on Vampires:
In most cases, vampires are revenants of evil beings, suicide victims, or witches, but they can also be created by a malevolent spirit possessing a corpse or by being bitten by a vampire.
There's nothing very scary about a being that feasts on animal blood. What would I care? They're not looking for me. But if that being is looking for human blood, then that means I might become a victim. That thought of being on their food chain is what makes it scary.
