It's so funny because all the reasons Adam is struggling to connect with this show are the exact same reasons for why I'm obsessed with it. This is the first MCU series that's had me coming back to watch every episode more than once, and I come away with something new every time (like Marc actually _not_ being the one who fronted in the premier when Steven was in the village with blood on his hands). I don't know why it's this show in particular that's hooked me so well, but it's everything, man. It's everything.
Love these guys and their channel but I'm VERY happy that people are filling the comment section with this take lol. It's wild to me that anyone would see this and be like "Meh, it's cool but how does it help Captain America come back?", "Is this helping Thor?", "What is Wakanda thinking?" like...what?? lol
When Marc dropped the pieces of constellation map (idk what you called that) in the sand so that Steven will find it harder, it sends a massage that he is jealous of Steven about Layla. Steven is perfect for Layla, they have parallel interests and hobbies which is totally opposite of Marc. The way Layla looked at Steven, Marc is surely jealous seeing it haha!
Adam’s point is interesting. I find the show excellent because it’s fresh and new. I’m not searching for Easter eggs or coming up with theories. I like that it isn’t relying on MCU connections
people really need to get away of the thought that EVERYTHING is supposed to be connected to each other in the MCU. Moon Knight MIGHT be connected later on, but for now it's just his origin story. Also it's more likely that Midnight Sons could be a thing. At least Oscar Isaac wants it to happen.
Adam mentioned how hes not enjoying it as much cause he cant look into the future of the character, but I think that's one of the main reasons why I love this show. We haven't had a true standalone project like this in a long time. Its an origin, but its not relying on MCU connectivity to show its worth. With only 6 episodes, I wanted to learn and be surprised by a brand new character, rather than see the Hulk show up and take the spotlight for an episode. Those moments definitely have their place in certain projects, but this is introducing us to some really great concepts/characters and in my opinion, its a great thing that this show is FOCUSED on its plot and its plot only... It seemed like very other show was waiting for a cameo (Loki worked tho), a twist, or too many moving parts in the finale, which many people have complained about and I really feel like by the end of this, we will have an amazing 6 episodic MOON KNIGHT story. 😎
Accepting the show as a standalone, not tied to the "main" MCU events, Moon Knight is still moving VERY slow for a 6-episode series. For me personally, the show was advertised as this dark, gritty, in-your-face-violence series (similar to Daredevil without being rated R/Mature), and it ended up being closer to "The Mummy" with Brendan Fraser mixed with Indiana Jones, having a cupcake truck chase scene with George Michael's "Wake Me Up" as the accompanying track--might as well have had the Benny Hill theme. Granted, Oscar Isaac's acting is incredible, but there are too many comedic lines that kill the vibe they were aiming for. I'm finding myself not finishing the episodes in one sitting, something that never happened before, even with the slow build-up episodes of WandaVision.
@@djoscartj damn thats a shame. im loving it and I find it one of the best paced shows. We'll see how the finale lands! Personally though, i never thought it was gonna be dark but ep5 apparently is
@@AnotherMarvelGuy Upon finishing the series (I finished it for a 2nd time last night), I must say Moon Knight redeemed itself and pulled me back in with a phenomenal episode 5 for reasons I wasn't even expecting. All in all it was a good series, but I do think they could have done more with the first 3 episodes.
I was honestly curious how his accent stacked up with Londoners, I know Americans are not known for being great at the various accents found in the UK.
@@lauralmiller8852 He's doing well. Not saying he's perfect, but if I had a chat with him on the bus I would assume he's from the ends. Maybe lived abroad and came back. London accents are varied. (Cockney, Posh, Rude boys...) Kinda like how New Yorkers has various tones.
for the scene in 10:00 its called a “mermah.” In this practice, thought to have been brought to Egypt from the Arabian Peninsula during the Islamic conquest, men compete to demonstrate their fencing and horse-riding skills. Once associated with military training, mermah is now part of the celebratory repertoire of Upper Egypt, present in weddings and festivals
So far my favorite moment from this show is in the first episode when Steven is ordering a steak, holding back tears. I'd love to see more simple, yet powerful scenes like that in this show, and in Marvel as a whole. Nothing flashy, no witty one liners, just raw emotion, very refreshing.
Hi, I feel that lately, Marvel has really invested in raw emotions. In this show, for example, not just steven, you can feel the emotion from Khonshu, when he says, "I remember that night, I remember all nights," it sounds sad and some kind of longing, from Harrow as well, in the first episode, the emotion from his conviction, the pain in the final scene of this episode. Marc when he's speaking to Layla on the boat, I feel he portrays the emotional response of most proud people, or people who don't know to express their emotions. Overall, the show explores various scenes of powerful emotional expressions, and I guess that's why Marvel shows have become such hits.
I'm glad this is an independent show from the MCU (for now). The MCU has gone into this episodic comfort zone and we all wonder when we can have a little freedom from the greater 'universe'.
It's weird to me to hear Adam say "I can't really get into the show because I don't how it fits into the rest of the MCU". Why is that even a priority? This show is giving us so much dope shit and he's worried about the 27 other properties? Almost a waste of a viewing experience. I love the MCU but this "shared universe" has got some people in a headlock just waiting for cameos and tie-ins. I guess man...
It being so disconnected is one of the main reasons I'm digging it. No need to think of how it all connects and what the ramifications are for the universe as a whole.
Some people love the show for what is is, on its own. But there are also a lot of people who don't vibe with the show because it's not super connected to the MCU & aren't interested in the show's story on top. I feel like both takes are valid. This show is amazing for a lot, perfectly fine for others, and just not their cup of tea for many more.
@@hecrosegreat3943 It doesn't matter to whether a show or movie is good or not. However, it will and does affect some people's enjoyment of it. That's what I said
I'm connecting with this show for all the reasons Adam is struggling too hahahaha. I don't give two shits about the big picture, i'm just loving not knowing a thing about this character and learning more each episode. It's really refreshing...
I really enjoyed that by the end of this episode Konshu has accepted Steven as a useful part of the story not just a parasite like he has stated in previous episodes.
This is by far the best show and I’m honestly confused how not everyone sees that. I understand everyone has their own opinion but this is objectively one of the most interesting, best acted, and unique
people want it to connect to the mcu lol. i agree with the weird pacing but other than that their reasoning behind their opinion of the show is pretty shallow.
Yeah, the people who don't like it wants it to have easter eggs and such to connect to the larger MCU, but people like myself are getting tired of that, I just want a self contained good story that doesn't have to result to meager fan service, which is why MoonKnight is the best Marvel Disney Pus show so far tbh.
@@hawx00145 A few grang connections though. Some great teases, besides that. The creators gave us Bast. The kid was wearing a jacket that features Kang as Rama Tut's headdress. The GRC is teased. The series is about Egyptian gods. A trailer should be dropping of Thor 4 that features a villain who butchers gods The castle could be Doom's castle. That's a few examples.
I see some people still complaining and crying over some issues they have with the show ...I don't get it. The Acting alone in this show is simply Phenomenal 🤔
This episode just teased us with the 3rd personality of Marc named Jake Lockley. Based on the comics, between the three of them, Jake is kinda prone to violent outbursts so it is possible that he will also be goin' in a killing spree...
Just imagine the emergency meeting that must have happened after this. Like at the end of Shang Chi, all of the Avengers scientists and sorcerers etc. are gathered around a table: "It's not space magic." "It's not witch magic." "It's not quantum." "It's not dragons." "Asgard's got no clue." "Neither do the Eternals." "Do we seriously have no idea what is going on?" (Steven Grant stumbles in, dropping half a pile of paperwork.) "Yep, sorry! That was me! Egyptian gods are real..."
The sport they were playing was Al-mrmah (or El Mermah), a traditional Egyptian contest that's similar to a horse race, rodeo, and jousting all mixed together.
Adam's right about social media making fan bases (and people in general) more polarized about... everything. Just because you don't love something doesn't mean you hate it. Just because you like something doesn't mean you love it. There are a lot of shows I've seen in the past few years that I would rate a solid 7 or 8 out of 10. Enjoyable to watch, but not without flaws. Will I watch them again outside of maybe some reactions? No. Did I enjoy watching them? Yes. And that's ok.
Its refreshing to not have to immediately wonder where this fits with the next project or previous projects. Let it tell a story unconnected for now, with a character that is unique and I really liked in the comics. Its just a nice change of pace versus worrying about cameos and what things might mean for other shows movies.
thats how i feel. we're solely focusing and spending proper time introducing the extremely complex title character and not worrying about cameos, which is fantastic so far. sometimes its good to soak in the now, rather than just have another project to hint at the "whats next"
I have genuinely enjoyed every single Marvel series thus far; probably because I don’t have any expectations of fictional stories. None of these characters are real people, so I’m able to just watch and have fun. Once people get into the comic book purism and the film school professor critiques, I’m out.
I'm the same way. I'm just here for a good time, and I know that that's generally what I'm going to get with Marvel. Not everything needs to be analyzed to death. It's okay to just enjoy something for what it is. I'm having a blast with Moon Knight, and I'm looking forward to seeing him in future Marvel projects.
Imagine being a civilian in the MCU. You saw your friends getting dusted and reappearing five years later. You see this giant six eyed red Giant god appear in the sky and his face alone seems to cover the planet. You see various purple colored scars tearing through the fabric of the sky....and then when you think you saw it all you see the sky doing this. You'd just give up🤣🤣🤣
Consider what we've seen in just three episodes compared to the other shows. We've seen a lot, learned a lot, and the characters have already changed and now they can explore who Marc is without Khonshu. The storytelling here is great. The writing is strong, the editing is very good, the music is on point and the acting is first class.
I think we have had some exploration into mental health from the Marvel universe a few times. To begin with, Edward Norton's Hulk (which I believe is still the same canon as Mark Ruffalo's but they just switched actors) dealt with a dual personality and tried to mentality better himself from his anger with mediation, yoga, breathing etc. In Iron Man 3, Tony had extreme anxiety. Then in Wandavision, she was trying to cope with loss that resulted in detachment from reality.
I was wondering if you guys would comment on Gaspard Ulliel, the French actor who died. He died in a bizarre ski incident in the mountains around the city I live in, Grenoble (a city in the French Alps) and was brought to the hospital here in town. It was BIG news here. Very sad given how young he was and that this show was kinda his big break.
I wondered why I didn't feel the guys' reactions to Moon Knight and after Adam mentioned he didn't exactly connect with the series, I get it now. I do love the show, it's a huge step up from other Marvel shows (and movies), mainly because of Oscar's acting. I also don't care if it's not part of the big picture, as a stand alone is a great great show and I wish we could get another season, 6 episodes feels like not enough.
@Dave Sykes oh I know, I know, generally I'm all for it, but I feel it could use another 6 as the next season. Because how the hell are they going to wrap this up in 3 eps lol
Agreed, @Moon Orange. Not every Marvel show/movie needs to connect to every other Marvel show/movie. Because when you do that, eventually there are so many characters / plot points / etc to keep track of that the "price of entry" becomes extremely high for new fans/viewers.
So in the comics Thor kinda has a avatar except its more like swapping bodies like Shazam and Billy Batson. The only reason as to why he doesn't have an avatar in the mcu is because he's not in the over-void which is like a sort of dimensional plane where certain gods resign after earth. So, because Thor is more of a physical entity and not a meta-physical one that's why he doesn't have an avatar.
To me personally, I kind of grew tired of how every Marvel project has to connect to the grander MCU, particularly the events of the Infinity Saga, and so I felt the Moonknight showrunners did a good job separating this show from the MCU, for the most part. When introducing new characters into the MCU, I want their entrance(for lack of a better term) to feel natural instead of being a product of previous events simply for meager fan service.
I dunno I'd freak at every single one of those. I wouldn't just be completely numb to crazy shit happening. Every time a major event happens in our world people still freak out.
I mean we hear and see gun violence everyday but if someone shooting people would still be scared same can be said here as usually these events are followed by bad things
Think the actor passing away had an impact on the action scene because it feels like they edited it to remove any potential setup for the character. He just rides off into mist.
Konshu's light show is my favorite part of the episode by far, not only because of the music and the awesomeness of _rewinding the night sky_ but also because it manages to be this cool without it being a fight. That feels really fresh.
My husband the astronomer joked would have been easier to have a computer program to do the time travel in the stars.. he has one. Or he'll go to your local planetarium
Exactly! I guess it was easier to risk having a god banished than using a computer program that calculates the ancient nightsky over a location. They really didn't consult any astronomers in the making of the show
Apparently that sport is a form of Egyptian 'jousting' that is gaining popularity. They named it in the show, and just another touch of how amazing the Egyptian representation is from Diab, including filming on location and showing the real modern Cairo.
Harrow vs Fisk? Intriguing, but... I mean... come on! DÓnofrio utters a mundane sentence and I get actual chills. Like, "I think I'll have some breakfast." Nothing scary about that. But the way he says it terrifies me.
I just noticed that when Moon Knight throws the crescent blades they make the same sound as the Ten Rings make when they return to him. The same as when the rings return to Shang and Wen Wu
Hector, on my first watch I thought that it was implied Layla's dad taught the forger too but on a rewatch (with subs on) the line (from Layla) is "I can't believe he let you teach me how to do all this". I do not think it's her mom, just an old friend/associate of her dad's, one that her dad used to school Layla in espionage (perhaps as training to become the Scarlet Scarab ?)
That's Turkish delight in the jar. Highly recommend you give it a try, especially if you dig traditional Hispanic candies and deserts. It's weird that the Avengers didn't freak out when the sky started spinning but it has to be set in the MCU's primary universe because of the GRC ads we've seen in the background of the show.
I think that Layla is going to be the “scarab”that guides Mark to find where Khonshu has been banished and incased in stone. This is all just guessing obviously, but I think that Layla’s father is one of Khonshu’s previous avatars and Khonshu has had his eye on Layla since she was born. That necklace she killed the guy with was given to her by her father but he got it while he was Khonshu’s avatar. This is all solely based off of when that woman said her father called her his little scarab lol
I feel like people like the same Marvel formula. Anything that deviates and makes you think scares them 😁 It's good TV, I hope people can enjoy it without comparing it to everything else.
I'm so in love with this show. Really enjoying the actors and storyline. Confusion and action. It's disjointed because the main character is so chaotic. I know you guys have a more refined way of analyzing these shows so you're able to see more flawed aspectd. But as for me I'm all in
Khonsu helped the Goddess Nut by giving her extra hours of moonlight, hence giving her extra time, as she was cursed to "not give birth any day of the year". That means Khonsu can manipulate light. So, what I think happened is that he manipulated the light to create an illusion of the sky as it was 2000 years ago. What is we see of the stars is the light that they emitted many many years ago. We look at their past. So if anyone can control the light and create an illusion/projection of the past sky, the god of moon can. That brings me to my another theory, that Khonsu used Hathor's help to create that illusion/projection of the past sky as he cam only control moon light and not all the light of the sky, which Hathor can. He also mentioned to Steven that he can't do that alone, meaning he required Hathor's help and somehow recieved it.
Hathor does seem to have a fondness for Khonshu, so I could see that. I was also wondering if Khonshu got himself imprisoned as part of a plan B, agreed between he and Hathor and perhaps one or two of the absent gods.
For ppl who dont "connect" to characters bc they aren't a part of the larger mcu yet then I guess you'll dislike every new character the mcu has coming...
Was looking for this comment I’m not trynna attack anyone’s opinion but there is no need for any of the previous mcu characters to show up other than just ooh ik that person, regardless not being able to connect with this character individually because of a lack of random caneos and shoehorned in references just seems like a strange criticism
This is wildly wrong lmao. Take Shang Chi or Eternals(maybe not eternals since people seemed to hate them). Brand new characters that were not really a part of the larger MCU at release yet I'd say most people connected with them. I think what these guys are saying is we're exploring a whole new domain with egyptian mythology in a Disney+ show setting with a character who isn't relatable to a lot of people due to his DID. Easy to see why they don't connect 3 episodes in but it's still quite entertaining and there's a lot of time left for character growth.
I agree with your comment. Can people just enjoy a show without trying to figure out where it "fits " in. This over thinking and over analyzing before the series has finished takes away from the episodes.
I wonder if there were more scenes setting up Gaspard Ulliel's character for later, but since he passed away they had to change the story? Perhaps that's why the pacing jumped around? 🤔
@@superbobomario8849 Do you think they'll recast or introduce a new character instead? I'm thinking they'll ask his family what they would prefer on his behalf.
Arthur already was in contact with the leader of God's avatar.......thats why Arthur was already there for the trial and that's why the leader avatar called Arthur in the end to tell him that Khonshu is imprisoned
They are definitely in cahoots, the trial was rigged against the pigeon and Marc from the start. I’m pretty sure the only god present that wasn’t in cahoots with Harrow was the one that told Marc about the sarcophagus.
I'm very interested in the switching back and forth between Steven and mark in the suit, I want them to be more on the same page so it's not such a struggle tapping into each alter's strengths... also excited to meet the 3rd which seems to be the "I'll save us no matter the cost or how violent I need to be" alter
I would think in the marvel universe norse gods like Thor are more aliens then “gods” on earth so Thor wouldn’t need an avatar, but does that mean black panther is the avatar for Bast?
Yeah. Norse gods aren't elder gods from earth. Thye are different. Are norde gods also as old as elder gods? Sometimes a God is anything super old with powers. God is a loose term i think.
I really like this series and this episode was great in my opinion. I can understand some of the different reasons why people wouldn't be as into as I am and that's cool too. I do know that the one thing we can all agree on is how good Oscar Isaac is! 👏🏾
hi! im not trying to be rude but i want to correct augstin when he called DID dissociative personality disorder.. the actual term is dissociative identity disorder, anyway... i love your reaction! i cant wait for next week!
I think part of the "problem" is less that we don't know Moon Knight's place in the MCU and more that we done have a 10 film build-up to get to know the character prior to the show. With every other MCU show, we've had multiple films to get to know the characters intimately and develop a strong desire to see where they go next. Here, we have nothing. So they have to do more heavy lifting. I think that's why it's more like "Captain America: The First Avenger" and less like "Captain America: Winter Soldier".
Fair play to them for filming as much practically on location in Jordan (as they couldn't get the permits for Egypt which must have been disappointing for Egyptian director Mohamed Diab), but for certain shots, Marvel Studios must get Disney to build more of The Volume/StageCraft sets asap so they can utilise them instead of traditional green screen! The Gods/Avatars took disgruntled former Konshu avatar Arthur Harrow at face value too easily - literally opened a portal for him from the dig site! Thought they were setting it up so that the one in the suit at the end there was secretly working with Harrow, but nope, turns out he also took him at face value! Layla's definitely falling for Steven which is interesting. Got another FaWS Easter Egg with the Madripoor shout-out after last week's GRC bus ad! RIP to Gaspard Ulliel.
@@AllenChibi Yeah the very paranoid police/govt wouldn't let them film in Egypt in part due to some of the director's previous movies that were critical of the govt!
I am really enjoying the show so far. It's fun, interesting, still has great action, I love the Egyptian mythology side of it all, love it when these stories adapt real ancient mythology into the plot and give it a twist, great acting and music... Really don't see what's not to like. And best of all, it feels fresh, it's something we haven't seen before in the MCU. And speaking of the larger universe I have actually have been having the opposite reaction to the show that Adam is having, the lack of connectivity has allowed me to enjoy it for what it is without being concerned with how it all might connect later.
Yeah, this is why I gave this video a dislike. I love MCU and I will always defend any and every connection in any movie or series. BUT - it's really stupid to not be able to enjoy the series because it isn't connected to MCU in obvious way.
Another EXCELLENT episode! With lots of indication towards a 3rd alter, aka Jake Lockley. Also, although I can understand why some would think Marc or Jake killed Layla’s dad, I don’t think that’ll be the case. If it’s anything like how the comics played out (which the references to it so far seem to be pretty accurate to it) then I have a feeling I know who did kill him but I’m not gonna say for potential spoilers sake. Those who have read MK comics will know who I’m talking about
My guess is that Steve/Mark/Jake are going to come up with the plan to go to the asylum to try and come to a conclusion on how to deal with each other. Steven/Layla/Mark go to the Pyramids of Giza to rescue Khonshu so Mark can put an end to Arthur. But I really want Khonshu to stick around he’s become one of my favorite characters in the MCU.
I love the show. I came into it expecting great things because I loved Moon Knight as a character before hand. And to see him on screen now was just an amazing thing from the beginning. Oscar Isaac's portrayal of the character is amazing, and makes me love the character all the more.
"Does Thor have an avatar?" In The Comics and pre-MCU films and shows,yes.Donald Blake, Beta Ray Bill and Eric Masterson. All temporary though. Of course, Lady Thor has only one avatar:Jane Foster although Angela briefly took over for Jane when she was sick at one point.
I felt like Oscar and Ethan carried this episode with their acting skill, Khonshu turning back the night sky looked amazing and they likely (smartly) focused their resources there. Episode 2 remains my favorite but the story is still keeping me interested to watch!
I liked this episode the best. More depth with the story & Characters, MK more in hand to hand action, Sky Scene, Higher Stakes taking place with Khonshu imprisoned.
I love Indiana Jones meets The Mummy influenced in this episode. RIP Gaspard Ulliel. I also loved the hints to Jake Lockley in this show since episode 1. The visuals in this series are marvelous. The fight scenes in this episode were phenomenal. Arthur Harrow gives me Baron Zemo, Erik Killmonger, Thanos, and Ikaris vibes. Arthur Harrow is an excellent and terrifying villain. Arthur Harrow is also the king of gaslighting. The music in the show is terrific. The imprisoning of Khonshu was a fantastic scene. The other Gods have no chill and their bias against Khonshu. The Moon shape cape in Moon Knight was badass.
Maybe I missed it, but how was Arthur able to enter the pyramid the second time without being an avatar to a god? How can he be following Ammit if they had no interaction?
Honestly, I feel like this show is probably one of the more better-made and directed shows of the released MCU shows so far (I still haven't seen hawkeye). The dodgy CG still bugs the hell out of me, but I'm very much engaged aside from that. My only thing when it comes to these MCU shows, is sometimes I feel as if they're a little too short, maybe they'd benefit from 8-10 eps series, sometimes it seems as if when they really start going, they're already halfway over.

You know a certain trailer got dropped right. #justsaying

That wasn't a tribunal. That was a concert to Oscar Isaac's acting and he was kind enough to invite all the Egyptian gods. What a gent!
The marshmallow type things are Lokum (Turkish Delight).

Accepting the show as a standalone, not tied to the "main" MCU events, Moon Knight is still moving VERY slow for a 6-episode series. For me personally, the show was advertised as this dark, gritty, in-your-face-violence series (similar to Daredevil without being rated R/Mature), and it ended up being closer to "The Mummy" with Brendan Fraser mixed with Indiana Jones, having a cupcake truck chase scene with George Michael's "Wake Me Up" as the accompanying track--might as well have had the Benny Hill theme. Granted, Oscar Isaac's acting is incredible, but there are too many comedic lines that kill the vibe they were aiming for. I'm finding myself not finishing the episodes in one sitting, something that never happened before, even with the slow build-up episodes of WandaVision.

Once associated with military training, mermah is now part of the celebratory repertoire of Upper Egypt, present in weddings and festivals
I'm really glad that Hector mentioned Gaspards passing & that Marvel honoured him in the credits.
So far my favorite moment from this show is in the first episode when Steven is ordering a steak, holding back tears. I'd love to see more simple, yet powerful scenes like that in this show, and in Marvel as a whole. Nothing flashy, no witty one liners, just raw emotion, very refreshing.
Hi,
I feel that lately, Marvel has really invested in raw emotions. In this show, for example, not just steven, you can feel the emotion from Khonshu, when he says, "I remember that night, I remember all nights," it sounds sad and some kind of longing, from Harrow as well, in the first episode, the emotion from his conviction, the pain in the final scene of this episode.
Marc when he's speaking to Layla on the boat, I feel he portrays the emotional response of most proud people, or people who don't know to express their emotions.
Overall, the show explores various scenes of powerful emotional expressions, and I guess that's why Marvel shows have become such hits.
I'm glad this is an independent show from the MCU (for now). The MCU has gone into this episodic comfort zone and we all wonder when we can have a little freedom from the greater 'universe'.
She's eating Turkish Delight, it's a popular middle eastern treat. It's this like block of semi solid jelly covered in powder sugar.
It's weird to me to hear Adam say "I can't really get into the show because I don't how it fits into the rest of the MCU". Why is that even a priority? This show is giving us so much dope shit and he's worried about the 27 other properties? Almost a waste of a viewing experience. I love the MCU but this "shared universe" has got some people in a headlock just waiting for cameos and tie-ins.
I guess man...
It being so disconnected is one of the main reasons I'm digging it. No need to think of how it all connects and what the ramifications are for the universe as a whole.
Some people love the show for what is is, on its own. But there are also a lot of people who don't vibe with the show because it's not super connected to the MCU & aren't interested in the show's story on top. I feel like both takes are valid. This show is amazing for a lot, perfectly fine for others, and just not their cup of tea for many more.
@@loganbigmo The MCU connection isnt valid. That shouldn't matter in wether a show or movie is good or not
@@hecrosegreat3943 It doesn't matter to whether a show or movie is good or not. However, it will and does affect some people's enjoyment of it. That's what I said
@@loganbigmo Well, i'm just saying it shouldn't
So happy to see that you guys have been getting so many sponsors recently!
Geologie ftw!
I'm connecting with this show for all the reasons Adam is struggling too hahahaha. I don't give two shits about the big picture, i'm just loving not knowing a thing about this character and learning more each episode. It's really refreshing...
I really enjoyed that by the end of this episode Konshu has accepted Steven as a useful part of the story not just a parasite like he has stated in previous episodes.
This is by far the best show and I’m honestly confused how not everyone sees that. I understand everyone has their own opinion but this is objectively one of the most interesting, best acted, and unique
But people like it tho
people want it to connect to the mcu lol. i agree with the weird pacing but other than that their reasoning behind their opinion of the show is pretty shallow.
Yeah, the people who don't like it wants it to have easter eggs and such to connect to the larger MCU, but people like myself are getting tired of that, I just want a self contained good story that doesn't have to result to meager fan service, which is why MoonKnight is the best Marvel Disney Pus show so far tbh.
@@hawx00145
A few grang connections though.
Some great teases, besides that.
The creators gave us Bast.
The kid was wearing a jacket that features Kang as Rama Tut's headdress.
The GRC is teased.
The series is about Egyptian gods.
A trailer should be dropping of Thor 4 that features a villain who butchers gods
The castle could be Doom's castle.
That's a few examples.
@@JasonStrope Still, it is fewer than an average MCU movie/show...
I see some people still complaining and crying over some issues they have with the show ...I don't get it. The Acting alone in this show is simply Phenomenal 🤔
This episode just teased us with the 3rd personality of Marc named Jake Lockley. Based on the comics, between the three of them, Jake is kinda prone to violent outbursts so it is possible that he will also be goin' in a killing spree...
Just imagine the emergency meeting that must have happened after this. Like at the end of Shang Chi, all of the Avengers scientists and sorcerers etc. are gathered around a table:
"It's not space magic." "It's not witch magic." "It's not quantum." "It's not dragons." "Asgard's got no clue." "Neither do the Eternals." "Do we seriously have no idea what is going on?"
(Steven Grant stumbles in, dropping half a pile of paperwork.) "Yep, sorry! That was me! Egyptian gods are real..."
The sport they were playing was Al-mrmah (or El Mermah), a traditional Egyptian contest that's similar to a horse race, rodeo, and jousting all mixed together.
that's cool
Adam's right about social media making fan bases (and people in general) more polarized about... everything.
Just because you don't love something doesn't mean you hate it. Just because you like something doesn't mean you love it. There are a lot of shows I've seen in the past few years that I would rate a solid 7 or 8 out of 10. Enjoyable to watch, but not without flaws. Will I watch them again outside of maybe some reactions? No. Did I enjoy watching them? Yes. And that's ok.
Its refreshing to not have to immediately wonder where this fits with the next project or previous projects. Let it tell a story unconnected for now, with a character that is unique and I really liked in the comics. Its just a nice change of pace versus worrying about cameos and what things might mean for other shows movies.
thats how i feel. we're solely focusing and spending proper time introducing the extremely complex title character and not worrying about cameos, which is fantastic so far. sometimes its good to soak in the now, rather than just have another project to hint at the "whats next"
The music in this episode was absolutely amazing
I'm thinking that whoever took over in the 1st episode is the 3rd alter (Jake), given the violence and sweet driving skills.
I have genuinely enjoyed every single Marvel series thus far; probably because I don’t have any expectations of fictional stories. None of these characters are real people, so I’m able to just watch and have fun. Once people get into the comic book purism and the film school professor critiques, I’m out.
Omg same! I just here to enjoy stuff as best as I can. Like I get why people are like that but its not for me.
I'm the same way. I'm just here for a good time, and I know that that's generally what I'm going to get with Marvel. Not everything needs to be analyzed to death. It's okay to just enjoy something for what it is. I'm having a blast with Moon Knight, and I'm looking forward to seeing him in future Marvel projects.
Imagine being a civilian in the MCU. You saw your friends getting dusted and reappearing five years later. You see this giant six eyed red Giant god appear in the sky and his face alone seems to cover the planet. You see various purple colored scars tearing through the fabric of the sky....and then when you think you saw it all you see the sky doing this. You'd just give up🤣🤣🤣
Lmaoo at that point I would call it a normal day 💀💀💀
Lol to them it's just a Tuesday...
Consider what we've seen in just three episodes compared to the other shows. We've seen a lot, learned a lot, and the characters have already changed and now they can explore who Marc is without Khonshu. The storytelling here is great. The writing is strong, the editing is very good, the music is on point and the acting is first class.
I think we have had some exploration into mental health from the Marvel universe a few times. To begin with, Edward Norton's Hulk (which I believe is still the same canon as Mark Ruffalo's but they just switched actors) dealt with a dual personality and tried to mentality better himself from his anger with mediation, yoga, breathing etc. In Iron Man 3, Tony had extreme anxiety. Then in Wandavision, she was trying to cope with loss that resulted in detachment from reality.
Perfect timing, I was finding something to watch while eating and couldn't be more happy lol
I was wondering if you guys would comment on Gaspard Ulliel, the French actor who died. He died in a bizarre ski incident in the mountains around the city I live in, Grenoble (a city in the French Alps) and was brought to the hospital here in town. It was BIG news here. Very sad given how young he was and that this show was kinda his big break.
He was great already. He played a young Hannibal Lecter.
@@alvinanil6996 I'd seen that, he was quite well known here for that role. It's such a sad loss, especially for his family.
I wondered why I didn't feel the guys' reactions to Moon Knight and after Adam mentioned he didn't exactly connect with the series, I get it now. I do love the show, it's a huge step up from other Marvel shows (and movies), mainly because of Oscar's acting. I also don't care if it's not part of the big picture, as a stand alone is a great great show and I wish we could get another season, 6 episodes feels like not enough.
@Dave Sykes oh I know, I know, generally I'm all for it, but I feel it could use another 6 as the next season. Because how the hell are they going to wrap this up in 3 eps lol
Agreed, @Moon Orange. Not every Marvel show/movie needs to connect to every other Marvel show/movie. Because when you do that, eventually there are so many characters / plot points / etc to keep track of that the "price of entry" becomes extremely high for new fans/viewers.
Layla's eating Turkish Delight out of the jar in the beginning of the episode.
So in the comics Thor kinda has a avatar except its more like swapping bodies like Shazam and Billy Batson. The only reason as to why he doesn't have an avatar in the mcu is because he's not in the over-void which is like a sort of dimensional plane where certain gods resign after earth. So, because Thor is more of a physical entity and not a meta-physical one that's why he doesn't have an avatar.
She does not eat Marshmellows, she is eating turkish/arabic nougat (similar to "turkish delight" that Zemo gives to the kids)
Looks delicious!
Yeah I was gonna say, I don't think most Egyptians would eat marshmallows, due to it being against the Muslim faith
To me personally, I kind of grew tired of how every Marvel project has to connect to the grander MCU, particularly the events of the Infinity Saga, and so I felt the Moonknight showrunners did a good job separating this show from the MCU, for the most part. When introducing new characters into the MCU, I want their entrance(for lack of a better term) to feel natural instead of being a product of previous events simply for meager fan service.
People wouldn’t totally freak. This is after Thanos, Ultron, Loki, a giant Celestial.
I dunno I'd freak at every single one of those. I wouldn't just be completely numb to crazy shit happening. Every time a major event happens in our world people still freak out.
It would be fascinating to read the theories on Internet (including conspiracy theories) in the MCU world.
Folks must be having a FIELD DAY 🤣
Two giant Celestials.
I mean we hear and see gun violence everyday but if someone shooting people would still be scared same can be said here as usually these events are followed by bad things
Small detail I liked. When Marc gets knocked out and wakes up having just stabbed some dudes, he wears his hair in a way he doesn't normally.
Wait. There's my "reason" to watch it again.
I love the depiction of Cairo as a modern city, rather than it looking like a back water hovel like it is in most movies.
Think the actor passing away had an impact on the action scene because it feels like they edited it to remove any potential setup for the character. He just rides off into mist.
We don't see the body, so he was probably supposed to survive somehow until Gaspard died ☹️
I love this series. Not sure what the problem is, I say sit back and enjoy the ride. This is adult Marvel, it’s not going to be like the rest.
Konshu's light show is my favorite part of the episode by far, not only because of the music and the awesomeness of _rewinding the night sky_ but also because it manages to be this cool without it being a fight. That feels really fresh.
My husband the astronomer joked would have been easier to have a computer program to do the time travel in the stars.. he has one. Or he'll go to your local planetarium
Exactly! I guess it was easier to risk having a god banished than using a computer program that calculates the ancient nightsky over a location. They really didn't consult any astronomers in the making of the show
Apparently that sport is a form of Egyptian 'jousting' that is gaining popularity. They named it in the show, and just another touch of how amazing the Egyptian representation is from Diab, including filming on location and showing the real modern Cairo.
Harrow vs Fisk? Intriguing, but... I mean... come on! DÓnofrio utters a mundane sentence and I get actual chills. Like, "I think I'll have some breakfast." Nothing scary about that. But the way he says it terrifies me.
I just noticed that when Moon Knight throws the crescent blades they make the same sound as the Ten Rings make when they return to him. The same as when the rings return to Shang and Wen Wu
Hector, on my first watch I thought that it was implied Layla's dad taught the forger too but on a rewatch (with subs on) the line (from Layla) is "I can't believe he let you teach me how to do all this". I do not think it's her mom, just an old friend/associate of her dad's, one that her dad used to school Layla in espionage (perhaps as training to become the Scarlet Scarab ?)
I find it so weird to watch Adam not be excited about a Marvel Series. Hope that will change 🤞🏽
That's Turkish delight in the jar. Highly recommend you give it a try, especially if you dig traditional Hispanic candies and deserts.
It's weird that the Avengers didn't freak out when the sky started spinning but it has to be set in the MCU's primary universe because of the GRC ads we've seen in the background of the show.
@Rick King 22 The Global Repatriation Council. They were in Falcon and WS, trying to reconnect the world after the Blip
I think that Layla is going to be the “scarab”that guides Mark to find where Khonshu has been banished and incased in stone. This is all just guessing obviously, but I think that Layla’s father is one of Khonshu’s previous avatars and Khonshu has had his eye on Layla since she was born. That necklace she killed the guy with was given to her by her father but he got it while he was Khonshu’s avatar. This is all solely based off of when that woman said her father called her his little scarab lol
Feels weird that some people like agustin isn’t that into the show yet I feel like this is way better than any tv show marvel have done
I feel like people like the same Marvel formula. Anything that deviates and makes you think scares them 😁
It's good TV, I hope people can enjoy it without comparing it to everything else.
I'm so in love with this show. Really enjoying the actors and storyline. Confusion and action. It's disjointed because the main character is so chaotic. I know you guys have a more refined way of analyzing these shows so you're able to see more flawed aspectd. But as for me I'm all in
Khonsu helped the Goddess Nut by giving her extra hours of moonlight, hence giving her extra time, as she was cursed to "not give birth any day of the year". That means Khonsu can manipulate light. So, what I think happened is that he manipulated the light to create an illusion of the sky as it was 2000 years ago. What is we see of the stars is the light that they emitted many many years ago. We look at their past. So if anyone can control the light and create an illusion/projection of the past sky, the god of moon can.
That brings me to my another theory, that Khonsu used Hathor's help to create that illusion/projection of the past sky as he cam only control moon light and not all the light of the sky, which Hathor can. He also mentioned to Steven that he can't do that alone, meaning he required Hathor's help and somehow recieved it.
I think the help Khonshu was talking about was help from Steven/Marc. You can see them both performing the sky swipe thing together.
Hathor does seem to have a fondness for Khonshu, so I could see that. I was also wondering if Khonshu got himself imprisoned as part of a plan B, agreed between he and Hathor and perhaps one or two of the absent gods.
For ppl who dont "connect" to characters bc they aren't a part of the larger mcu yet then I guess you'll dislike every new character the mcu has coming...
this lol. love love love these guys but thats a incredibly flawed take.
Was looking for this comment I’m not trynna attack anyone’s opinion but there is no need for any of the previous mcu characters to show up other than just ooh ik that person, regardless not being able to connect with this character individually because of a lack of random caneos and shoehorned in references just seems like a strange criticism
Yeah I kinda agree with this
This is wildly wrong lmao. Take Shang Chi or Eternals(maybe not eternals since people seemed to hate them). Brand new characters that were not really a part of the larger MCU at release yet I'd say most people connected with them. I think what these guys are saying is we're exploring a whole new domain with egyptian mythology in a Disney+ show setting with a character who isn't relatable to a lot of people due to his DID. Easy to see why they don't connect 3 episodes in but it's still quite entertaining and there's a lot of time left for character growth.
I agree with your comment. Can people just enjoy a show without trying to figure out where it "fits " in. This over thinking and over analyzing before the series has finished takes away from the episodes.
I wonder if there were more scenes setting up Gaspard Ulliel's character for later, but since he passed away they had to change the story? Perhaps that's why the pacing jumped around? 🤔
They took away a few parts, and that's why also the added the mist, they're gonna take their time bringing that character , if even
@@superbobomario8849 Do you think they'll recast or introduce a new character instead? I'm thinking they'll ask his family what they would prefer on his behalf.
Harrow vs. Fisk would be so dope. I would like to see Moon Knight and Shang-Chi interact. I feel like that could be very fun.
Fun movie trivia fact: both Ethan Hawke and Vincent D'Onofrio worked together in 2009 on the Staten Island movie.
"Marc Spector's face has seen better days." Perfect transition, Adam! Chef's kiss!
Arthur already was in contact with the leader of God's avatar.......thats why Arthur was already there for the trial and that's why the leader avatar called Arthur in the end to tell him that Khonshu is imprisoned
They are definitely in cahoots, the trial was rigged against the pigeon and Marc from the start.
I’m pretty sure the only god present that wasn’t in cahoots with Harrow was the one that told Marc about the sarcophagus.
Madripoor again. Sad about the actor passing on. " I remember every night." Just gets me for some reason .
I'm very interested in the switching back and forth between Steven and mark in the suit, I want them to be more on the same page so it's not such a struggle tapping into each alter's strengths... also excited to meet the 3rd which seems to be the "I'll save us no matter the cost or how violent I need to be" alter
I think she was eating Turkish Delight at the beginning of the episode
I would think in the marvel universe norse gods like Thor are more aliens then “gods” on earth so Thor wouldn’t need an avatar, but does that mean black panther is the avatar for Bast?
i mean the Egyptian "Gods" are gods because they were worshipped right? Wasn't Thor worshipped by ancient Vikings?
@@AT32556 Thor is an alien, while the Egyptian gods are actual gods.
Yeah. Norse gods aren't elder gods from earth. Thye are different. Are norde gods also as old as elder gods? Sometimes a God is anything super old with powers. God is a loose term i think.
I really like this series and this episode was great in my opinion. I can understand some of the different reasons why people wouldn't be as into as I am and that's cool too. I do know that the one thing we can all agree on is how good Oscar Isaac is! 👏🏾
I think that's not marshmallows, they are turkish delights/lokum
Hector. It’s Turkish Delight.
Came to the comments to say that, too. Damn, I wanna have some now!
The acting is just superb.
20:28 disassociative _identity_ disorder, Agustin. Not personality.
also known as "multiple personality disorder"
hi! im not trying to be rude but i want to correct augstin when he called DID dissociative personality disorder.. the actual term is dissociative identity disorder,
anyway... i love your reaction! i cant wait for next week!
Pretty sure it's Turkish Delight, or something similiar....why would it be Marshmallows?
Turning back the night sky reminded me of Avatar when they needed to predict the eclipse in the lost library with the Owl.
I think part of the "problem" is less that we don't know Moon Knight's place in the MCU and more that we done have a 10 film build-up to get to know the character prior to the show. With every other MCU show, we've had multiple films to get to know the characters intimately and develop a strong desire to see where they go next. Here, we have nothing. So they have to do more heavy lifting. I think that's why it's more like "Captain America: The First Avenger" and less like "Captain America: Winter Soldier".
Fair play to them for filming as much practically on location in Jordan (as they couldn't get the permits for Egypt which must have been disappointing for Egyptian director Mohamed Diab), but for certain shots, Marvel Studios must get Disney to build more of The Volume/StageCraft sets asap so they can utilise them instead of traditional green screen! The Gods/Avatars took disgruntled former Konshu avatar Arthur Harrow at face value too easily - literally opened a portal for him from the dig site! Thought they were setting it up so that the one in the suit at the end there was secretly working with Harrow, but nope, turns out he also took him at face value! Layla's definitely falling for Steven which is interesting. Got another FaWS Easter Egg with the Madripoor shout-out after last week's GRC bus ad! RIP to Gaspard Ulliel.
I appreciate the info, thank you. I was wondering where they were filming.
@@AllenChibi Yeah the very paranoid police/govt wouldn't let them film in Egypt in part due to some of the director's previous movies that were critical of the govt!
I just want a series focusing on a family living in MCU and what happened to them in the events from Iron man 1 to moon knight.
Like, Modern Family or something lmaoooo
That could be an interesting show.
That would be hilarious and one of the best things in the entire MCU.
6:26 no Thor doesnt have an avatar because he is a alien not a god
I'd say it's more like, different pantheons work differently
I am really enjoying the show so far. It's fun, interesting, still has great action, I love the Egyptian mythology side of it all, love it when these stories adapt real ancient mythology into the plot and give it a twist, great acting and music... Really don't see what's not to like. And best of all, it feels fresh, it's something we haven't seen before in the MCU. And speaking of the larger universe I have actually have been having the opposite reaction to the show that Adam is having, the lack of connectivity has allowed me to enjoy it for what it is without being concerned with how it all might connect later.
Why does it matter to connect to the rest of the Marvel shows and universe? Just enjoy a new character and show. Let it be it’s own thing.
Exactly! Ugh
if anything, that's the problem of the past marvel series. their connectivity to the mcu feels so upfront that it overshadows the heart of the story.
Yeah, this is why I gave this video a dislike.
I love MCU and I will always defend any and every connection in any movie or series. BUT - it's really stupid to not be able to enjoy the series because it isn't connected to MCU in obvious way.
I am very much enjoying the show.
I think we did explore mental health heavily with Wandavision.
mental health has more than that one aspect of what Wanda is going through. There are different types of mental illnesses.
Wandavision explored trauma and grief not a full blown mental disorder like DID in moon knight.
@@Pixel0429 all precursors to, if not symptoms of mental illness.
Another EXCELLENT episode! With lots of indication towards a 3rd alter, aka Jake Lockley. Also, although I can understand why some would think Marc or Jake killed Layla’s dad, I don’t think that’ll be the case. If it’s anything like how the comics played out (which the references to it so far seem to be pretty accurate to it) then I have a feeling I know who did kill him but I’m not gonna say for potential spoilers sake. Those who have read MK comics will know who I’m talking about
My guess is that Steve/Mark/Jake are going to come up with the plan to go to the asylum to try and come to a conclusion on how to deal with each other. Steven/Layla/Mark go to the Pyramids of Giza to rescue Khonshu so Mark can put an end to Arthur. But I really want Khonshu to stick around he’s become one of my favorite characters in the MCU.
I love the show. I came into it expecting great things because I loved Moon Knight as a character before hand. And to see him on screen now was just an amazing thing from the beginning. Oscar Isaac's portrayal of the character is amazing, and makes me love the character all the more.
14:51 "his transformation it's great it's so subtle" just like Homelander's actor (which I said at thousand times in other videos)
No investigation by the Gods into the claims against Harrow? Mmm...something is amiss.
"Does Thor have an avatar?" In The Comics and pre-MCU films and shows,yes.Donald Blake, Beta Ray Bill and Eric Masterson. All temporary though. Of course, Lady Thor has only one avatar:Jane Foster although Angela briefly took over for Jane when she was sick at one point.
Thor wouldn't have an avatar because even if there is earth mythos about Norse gods. The real Norse gods are just aliens
As opposed to the Egyptian gods, which are just... aliens from another dimension.
Marvel's Norse (and sometimes Greek) gods also just do things personally. Khonshu says the Egyptian gods could too in this episode
I wish they would play walking on broken glass by Annie Lennox when Ethan hawke appears, just once would do 😁
Havent even seen a single fan edit
I felt like Oscar and Ethan carried this episode with their acting skill, Khonshu turning back the night sky looked amazing and they likely (smartly) focused their resources there. Episode 2 remains my favorite but the story is still keeping me interested to watch!
I liked this episode the best. More depth with the story & Characters, MK more in hand to hand action, Sky Scene, Higher Stakes taking place with Khonshu imprisoned.
I love Indiana Jones meets The Mummy influenced in this episode. RIP Gaspard Ulliel. I also loved the hints to Jake Lockley in this show since episode 1. The visuals in this series are marvelous. The fight scenes in this episode were phenomenal. Arthur Harrow gives me Baron Zemo, Erik Killmonger, Thanos, and Ikaris vibes. Arthur Harrow is an excellent and terrifying villain. Arthur Harrow is also the king of gaslighting. The music in the show is terrific. The imprisoning of Khonshu was a fantastic scene. The other Gods have no chill and their bias against Khonshu. The Moon shape cape in Moon Knight was badass.
Arthur Harrow's feet are callouses over scar tissue.
Maybe I missed it, but how was Arthur able to enter the pyramid the second time without being an avatar to a god? How can he be following Ammit if they had no interaction?
Because he was invited by Osiris.
The best special effect transformation in this show is "acting "
10:09 "really sad thing is that this actor has passed away" I am sorry for the loss of the actor
A feature of astronomy programs is that you can see what the sky looked like 3,000 years ago. That's standard calculus. No need for a god to do that.
Poor normal people in mcu got blipped by a big purple alien then a big head and palm appeared out of nowhere…now this..sky doing speedrun
I don't know who makes your Moon Knight thumbnails, but I like them!
Honestly, I feel like this show is probably one of the more better-made and directed shows of the released MCU shows so far (I still haven't seen hawkeye). The dodgy CG still bugs the hell out of me, but I'm very much engaged aside from that. My only thing when it comes to these MCU shows, is sometimes I feel as if they're a little too short, maybe they'd benefit from 8-10 eps series, sometimes it seems as if when they really start going, they're already halfway over.
