Why can't Morbius from Marvel be in a relationship with British people?

His past relationships with them have been pretty one-sided.

Gun to my head I could not explain this joke.

It’s a joke about möbius strips only having one side.
I think the British bit is a vague commentary on American/British relations recently but not sure if it’s referring to a specific comment from the recent state visit.
It’s not a good joke.

I think it's the accent, not the relationship, and that OP thinks the British pronunciation of Morbius, derhotacism or whatever, sounds closer to how OP thinks British people would pronounce Möbius. I can understand the joke being funny to OP, or anyone else who has no idea how other people would pronounce words.

Ah, if it’s a joke about British pronunciation then I can get behind that a little more.

Would have made more sense if they were talking about the character Mobius and not Morbius.

I think they think a mobius strip is spelt or pronounced as morbius in Britain.

Nope, I got nothing.
