I am sorry Disney made this character so uninteresting for me. I really do not care to ever see Moon Knight again in any MCU film or series. I am sure the character is way more appealing in the comics.

I had that same thought the first two or 3 episodes. I was actually about to give up on the show, but the last 3 episodes kept my attention. Steven is annoying as shyt though.

Actually enjoyed the series but again think D+ needs to either cut some of the story lines or make these at least 10 episodes.

This episode had Sohh much going on.

Marc peacefully in the afterlife
Steven brought back to life
Layla becomes an avatar
Khonsu (sp?) becomes this big Godzilla creature to fight another big Godzilla creature. I got crazy Power Ranger vibes lol
Then Jake is revealed. I enjoyed episodes 1-5, but 6 was probably the worse story wise. But I guess you have to give the people what they want.

I actually liked the gods fighting, but put people that I was watching with didn't get how all of that was going on in the background, like they didn't understand that all of that was happening in the astral/spiritual world while Marc and Harrow were duling it out on the physical plane.

Finally got around to watching the final episode.

Firstly wayyyy too much exposition thats been this shows major issue for me, and it’s an issue that I saw in the new Dr Strange as well.

Then once Layla got her powers I knew there would have to be one corny scene of a child our a another woman acknowledging her.

So I guess Moon Knight will be a street level hero, as the amount of times this man got his ass whupped by basic goons was embarrassing.

It seems the only time shyt gets done, is when Jake takes over and they never show what he does.

I was excited for this show but its legit been a chore to get through it. I’m ok with the more than usual MCU corniness but when its built around a dodgy foundation like this it becomes very obvious.

As for Steven. I read that Oscar Issac says he was inspired by Frank Spencer who was a character in a UK show called some mothers doing ave em. UK brehs will know of it.

You can see he lifted the entire characterisation, voice and mannerisms from the show.

Frank Spencers voice is very annoying though, I’m not sure why Oscar went with it. :francis:

When was that established?

The show had the afterlife, memory, the Dr Harrow level, real world, the Giza temple, and the street level all in one episode so I don’t think you can fault people for that.

A couple instances where they make that clear is when he's fighting the jackals in the museum. He's trying to run the footage back and you can't see any of that. This scene as well.



And nah you can't fault someone for not catching it but I kinda had to explain when the gods started fighting like kaiju, they weren't actually in the 3D, nobody could see them back there duking it out. They can only affect the phyiscal world so much without being embodied, hence the need for avatars.

And beyond the comics that's a common theme with various dieties needing a physical aparatus to interact with the material world. Essentially using the body like a micoscope.

But we saw Layla talking to Khonsu and looking right at him without being his Avatar.

And we see the effects of Khonsu and the jackal hitting stuff in those early episodes so even if they didn’t see them, when they slammed into the side of the pyramid people would have seen the affect. Which is why the seen of the people eating at the table was so weird to me.
