I (18M) was babysitting my cousin (5M) yesterday while my aunt was out running errands. Everything was going fine until I walked into the living room and saw something horrifying on the TV: he was watching Bluey on Disney+ instead of the cinematic masterpiece Morbius.

Now I’m sorry but I genuinely think modern kids shows are rotting children’s brains. Meanwhile Morbius is one of the greatest films ever created. The action, the drama, the morb. It’s educational compared to Bluey.

So naturally I took immediate action. I ripped the remote out of his hands, opened the Disney+ search bar, typed in “Morbius,” clicked the movie, and informed him that he would be watching REAL cinema from now on.

At first he complained and cried and kept asking for Bluey back, but I knew this was just because his attention span had been corrupted by cartoon dogs. To fix this, I made him watch Morbius on repeat literally all day as punishment so he could learn proper taste in movies.

When my aunt came to pick him up, my cousin immediately ran over to her crying and saying he was “scared of the vampire man” and that he “never wants to morb again.” My aunt got super mad at me and said he’s “only 5 years old” and that forcing him to watch Morbius repeatedly for hours was “way too far.”

I tried explaining that I was improving his cultural knowledge and saving him from becoming an iPad kid, but she still yelled at me and now my family is blowing up my phone saying I’m irresponsible.

Personally I think they’re overreacting because one day he’ll thank me when he understands true cinema.

So Reddit, AITA?
