Except "Macedonian" does not exist, not really. It was really Attic Greek. Modern day Macedonians, who are not the same as actual Greek Macedonians, just appropiate Greek Macedonian culture as their own, even claiming Alexandre.
During the thing with the hallway tilting, there were sounds like a sailing ship. I suspect that they are actually on board the funeral barge travelling to the Egyptian afterlife, thus the appearance of the Hippo goddess at the end. Rather than gaslighting, I think the mental hospital might actually be part of a memory of Marc's, mixed with elements of his life (since in some of the comics Marc had been in a mental ward).
we thought we could handle multiple Lokis, we thought we could handle multiple Spider-Men, we might be able to handle multiple Doctor Stranges...but we're not gonna be ready for 2 (most likely 3 if Jake Lockley busts out of that sarcophagus) Oscar Isaacs.
The back end of this episode was damn good. Seeing Marc and Steven actual interact and hug each other made the alters so real. Also Y’ALL BETTER LET JAKEY OUT OF THE BOX.
I'm with Adam, I hate in movies and tv shows where they make us do a whole story only to at the end be like "oh it was just a dream" For Moon Knight they made it trippy enough to let us know that the psychiatry is not reality so I'm fine with it
not gonna lie, i watched other reaction channels for this episode but nothing satisfies me more than you guys. genuinely, i look forward to your reaction for these things so much more
Agreed. Out of all the reaction channels I watch these are my go to reactors. They funny and brilliant and pretty much inline with my own views. Love 'em both.
I'm invested in Taweret now. Her one lil "hi" at the end and I can already tell I'm going to love her. If Gorr hurts or kills her, I'm going to be pissed.
@@wraith1701 he has DID, it’s called a system when you’re talking about multiple alters. Not only that, but people with DID can get alters of the opposite gender.
Those last 10 minutes were such a trip. I watched them while sick during calc class instead of doing my homework and walked out of there unsure if I had actually ever woken up that morning.
Anyone else singing "Hippopotamus, Hippopotamus..." 😂😂😂 This episode was bonkers and I loved every second of it. And I love Steven, but he deserved that punch 😂😂😂😂
@@mr.stuffdoer8483 i have seen some interviews with DID and they have one spouse and if they have a kid alter the spouse just understand and adjust their behaviour i dont actually see it as something wrong like here is it wrong for steven to also love layla like they're in the same body and i think mark just haven't accepted the situation because of his kept secret and still wanting to protect layla from konshu
I keep rewatching the “what the what”! And the the hysterical laughing, I loved it. Plus you can read Adams face like a book when he was getting mad. Cannot wait for ep 5!!
That ending with the hospital really got me excited, since I was a huge fan of Legion and it's so much like one of their episodes. (Also, Jay singing "Rachel Weisz, Rachel Weisz" through his disgust was just beautiful 😂)
GREAT CALLBACK! LEGION was an OUTSTANDING show that I somehow forgotten about through all the Moon Knight episodes so far. Anyone who is loving MK, should 100% give LEGION a shot when this series ends. 👏 👏 👏
I love that the tension is soooo high all the way through this episode, and then the ending with the hippo goddess hits so hard with that explosive release of tension… I don’t think I’ve ever laughed that hard in any marvel property yet, and damn if it didn’t feel good. Such good storytelling here!
Loved this one! The mental hospital scene was very in line with the actual comic run from which this is drawing a lot of inspiration. And it seems we could have the reason Steven has the British accent. It's a mimic of the TV Steven Grant from the VHS movie...
I suspect that we’ll either spend half of next episode there with them and half with Layla freeing Khonsu and they’ll get out at the end of out or that’s also where Khonsu is trapped and they’re going to have to break him out
25:00 - *NOBODY* EXPECTS THE HIPPO GODDESS! Her chief weapon is surprise... surprise and fear... fear and surprise... Her two weapons are fear and surprise... and ruthless efficiency.... Her *three* weapons are fear, and surprise, and ruthless efficiency... and an almost fanatical devotion to the god Bes... Her four... no... Amongst her weapons... Amongst her weaponry... are such elements as fear, surprise... I'll come in again.
Adam you are the only one so far to cotton to the idea of Taweret being their way out! She is the goddess of rebirth after all! Now they can all go save Khonshu and the other gods! Team Moon Knight assemble!
There's like a whole comicbook run that started with him in an asylum...it was the best Moon Knight Run in years. I guess they had to touch on it in the show cuz it basically revived him.
Moon Knight is even more trippy than Loki man. Yikes. Taweret was my favourite part of this episode. Loved her ever since I read The Kane Chronicles lol. And oh gosh you guys make me laugh so much 🤣🤣🤣 But the story isn't that it's all fake...thankfully. I just think Marc and Steven are in the Duat now...aka the Egyptian Underworld.
@@Tryhardblackguy I gotta agree with that. This is like the spiderman no way home of moonknight episodes where the later part is so good that people are just kind of ignoring the fact that the first half isn’t very good
Well i think the reason they did the part at the end Adam is because in the comics, they do things a lot and then make it out to be just a part of Marc's Mental issues. To the point where the comics are very unpredictable which honestly makes it great! And i understand what you are saying about it being done to "throw off" viewers but in this instance it was way cooler than you think! This episode and series is so good! ❤ Love all of your reactions always guys!
Adam with that Nickelback reference!! 👌🏻👌🏻 That whole psych ward sequence was amazing. They finally answered some big questions but now we have like a million more. So well done. I am thoroughly confusion and anxiously awaiting episode 5
Harrow did tell Layla that they know the truth, that Egyptian gods walk amongst us, and then they show us Taweret at the end. Awesome. Her voice was so cute.
1:25 yes there is! The DID term for it is a system. I usually write 'the Marc system' (since Marc is the host/they were born as Marc) when I wanna talk about all of them
The old hospital show St. Elsewhere did that "none of it was real" trope first and probably best. Can't wait for next week's ep, I want to see what will result of this new goddess showing up!
Quick question have you heard of the interesting theory? That because some of those characters appear in multiple shows, every one of the programmes are apart of the boy's imagination.I know it's not true, just a nice little fan theory.
The "Dallas" "The whole season was a dream" thing actually came first (the episode aired in '86, while "St. Elsewhere" ended in '88). Granted, that only erased a season's worth of story, but it's the same idea.
If somebody didn’t mention it already, either in the comments or on discord, a person with D.I.D. can be referred to as “a system”. There is a couple of channels here on TH-cam, where the person(s) has D.I.D. and some of them react to Moon Knight and speak on how authentic or misleading certain parts are. “Infinity System” is a good one to watch for this because he takes on the theme of Moon Knight, and judges various parts of the show’s depiction of D.I.D. with the Egyptian scales just like Ammit would.
Okay, but a psych ward as the active metaphor for an Underworld experience - especially when dealing with a character that has a mental health issue? Thoroughly genius. And honestly, would it be a story involving the Egyptian pantheon without a trip into the Underworld? I also noticed during this watch when the hallway tilted? It sounded like a ship at sea, and in Egyptian mythology, the gods used a barque to sail through the Underworld. So much fun.
i was a mess when they finally reunited again and that ending WTF also adam thanks to you i have so many compressed hero shirts in my shopping cart now lol
I LOVE watching people be utterly knocked off balance, in a manner of speaking, in the psych ward scene because it's almost set up like nothing we saw before that was real.. until I saw the sarcophagus with Steven and then swapped over to "oh great, crazy Egypt magic dream from Harrow maybe?"
22:35 that's why I'm glad the 'asylum' scenes wasn't the very last scene but lasted for 10-min minutes. It gave the time for the show to give us really big hints that the 'asylum' is indeed what's not real not the other way around.
There's a famous comic arc for Moon Knight like this where the whole thing is like no one really knows what's real and what isn't, odds are the mental hospital is what's fake but I'm still very into this.
100% with Adam on not liking the "ooh was it all not real maybe?" thing as a trope and I would have been disappointed if they'd done that for a whole episode. But I do like what they did here, it pretty quickly became too dreamlike for me to buy it as being really real and I could just enjoy it. 😆 I did "aww!" out loud at Marc & Steven hugging. The two of them interacting is the best thing about this (really good) show and I hope we get a bit more of this next week. And I love Layla more and more each week (she really does have Rachel-Weisz-in-The-Mummy vibes and it's amazing). Moon Squad FTW!!
After this episode, we had to reevaluate Marc's symptoms. Again, every system is different. And as such, people will try to GateKeep Marc's plurality. Now on to the world building. The OtherVoid exists between Dreams and Reality, mind and matter. As such, it can intersect with imagination. Marc's Inner World is a mixture of his memories of being institutionalized by his parents at a young age for the side symptoms of his DID, (which the imaginary copy of Harrow lists,) and recent memories. The mixture is something that happens when a system starts to try to create false memories and put walls back up between the alters. Thankfully, Marc was self-aware enough to reject the false memories, but not alot of us are. When the walls went up for us, we had to fight our own brain to get the original memories back without the alterations that popped in. Since the Inner World is an imaginative tool that can allow alters to interact with one another and shift more easily, that means that an Avatar of a god can use it to access the OtherVoid, and interact with other gods, like Twaret, (the fertility goddess who interacted at the end of the episode.) Jake is the Assasin/Spymaster (based off of the more brutal noir detective incarnation of Batman.) Since the comics retcon, the suits are now associated with the human alters, instead of being new alters themselves. As such, Jake's suit has never been seen in the Comics, meaning the MCU might have the debut of an original suit for Jake, which I'm personally excited for.
The whole final part in the mental hospital is an illusion. I'm calling it. Anyway, this reminds me of Legion when David was still at the hospital too. That show was mendbending!
This is the greatest Marvel TV show to date. This episode left me frightened, shocked, speechless, on the edge of my seat, leaving my seat. This is the best thing they have done so far.
I appreciate that Adam, upon Marc getting shot, says "He can't die, he's our main characters!" As in plural, because it's 100% accurate.
Not really. Layla is already set up as the successor, likely not now but if Isaac doesn't want to continue she's in

and the voice is spot on for such a caring, nurturing diety
As soon as I saw her I was like "our lady!" she's so great. I'm so excited to see what they do with all these other gods

It did make sense in Glass, given the people are trying to keep supers under wraps.

A good term for the collective of alters would be the “Moon Knight System,” since “system” is the term for a group of alters within one body
“Moon Knight’s not a system, he’s a man.”
@@wraith1701 he has DID, it’s called a system when you’re talking about multiple alters. Not only that, but people with DID can get alters of the opposite gender.
Huh, that makes more sense for Doom Patrol too! Crazy Jane’s alters live in subconscious realm called the Underground, a subway “system”!
Hearing someone say "Where's Brenden Fraiser when you need him" in a situation like this really makes me proud to have been a 90's kid.
Those last 10 minutes were such a trip. I watched them while sick during calc class instead of doing my homework and walked out of there unsure if I had actually ever woken up that morning.

@@Radianas lmao he was teasing this ep and we didn't even know hahaha
When I saw that Hippo, that song first came into my mind HAHAHAHAHAHA
Makes me honestly question how relationships work with DID. Do the alters have their own partners or do they try to share one?

Can’t wait to see how they handle Marc and Steven being in the overvoid (I hope they don’t escape immediately next episode)
i think next episode is most likely to introduce Jake so they should be in there for atleast half the episode...
I bet they’ll escape at the very end so the finale can be action packed
I suspect that we’ll either spend half of next episode there with them and half with Layla freeing Khonsu and they’ll get out at the end of out or that’s also where Khonsu is trapped and they’re going to have to break him out

And I love Layla more and more each week (she really does have Rachel-Weisz-in-The-Mummy vibes and it's amazing). Moon Squad FTW!!
After this episode, we had to reevaluate Marc's symptoms. Again, every system is different. And as such, people will try to GateKeep Marc's plurality. Now on to the world building. The OtherVoid exists between Dreams and Reality, mind and matter. As such, it can intersect with imagination. Marc's Inner World is a mixture of his memories of being institutionalized by his parents at a young age for the side symptoms of his DID, (which the imaginary copy of Harrow lists,) and recent memories. The mixture is something that happens when a system starts to try to create false memories and put walls back up between the alters. Thankfully, Marc was self-aware enough to reject the false memories, but not alot of us are. When the walls went up for us, we had to fight our own brain to get the original memories back without the alterations that popped in. Since the Inner World is an imaginative tool that can allow alters to interact with one another and shift more easily, that means that an Avatar of a god can use it to access the OtherVoid, and interact with other gods, like Twaret, (the fertility goddess who interacted at the end of the episode.) Jake is the Assasin/Spymaster (based off of the more brutal noir detective incarnation of Batman.) Since the comics retcon, the suits are now associated with the human alters, instead of being new alters themselves. As such, Jake's suit has never been seen in the Comics, meaning the MCU might have the debut of an original suit for Jake, which I'm personally excited for.
The whole final part in the mental hospital is an illusion. I'm calling it. Anyway, this reminds me of Legion when David was still at the hospital too. That show was mendbending!
Yeah, this makes me want marvel to do more mindbending show!
I have to say, the mummy part was probably my favorite in the whole series, I absolutely loved it!
Layla gave the mummy a serious case of ....pinkeye.
This is the greatest Marvel TV show to date. This episode left me frightened, shocked, speechless, on the edge of my seat, leaving my seat. This is the best thing they have done so far.
MCU tv show maybe, but marvel? You gotta try to watch Legion and prove me it won't make you speechless
