This episode was absolutely beautiful and stunning. The part of turning back the night sky blew me away! Can’t believe we are halfway through the season 🥲
It was indeed beautiful but if this set in the current MCU’s present (around 2025) they are any numerous apps or programs that can accomplish the same thing available now. Yes I understand it’s a choice to serve the story but still.
This show is a masterclass on the story-telling craft of "worldbuilding". The writers had so much detail to introduce us to in this crazy world and I think they've done it masterfully. This story line is engaging, funny, tragic, and unpredictable. I love it. Love hearing your theories and your takes on morality!
Good point about worldbuilding, particularly because (unlike most Marvel shows) it's very standalone. A lot of the earlier shows were built around characters who people already knew, but this one started from scratch. So, all the more impressive. And I agree about morality. Is Khonshu a "good god," or is it just that the other gods are even worse? 🙂
One of the best shots is in this episode, when Marc grabs the mirror then allows Steven to take over - on screen. Just the widening of his eyes, a tilt of his mouth, and you can tell it's a different person. That was fantastic.
For me, this episode was just amazing! Perhaps even the best one... either this or the finale! I absolutely loved this and Oscar Isaac's performance where he had to change his voice tone as Khonshu was some incredible acting, he deserves an Oscar
A sarcophagus was a bit more than just a coffin. They were larger and built for important individuals inside of rooms (or tombs) instead of just buried like a coffin is. Also, I want to address your thoughts on how Konchu/Marc/Steven came together, but want to avoid spoilers. Is it your impression that Konchu/Marc somehow found Steven and took over his body? If so, I would remind you that Layla clearly recognized Steven as Marc at least visually.
I don't know if it's been mentioned or if you're already aware, but Ethan Hawke, who plays Arthur, is the father of Maya Hawke, who plays Robin on Stranger Things.
I don't think Khonshu stuck around when the other Gods of Egypt abandoned humanity out of some sense of moral duty. I think he stuck around because the idea of evil people getting away with crimes really sticks in his craw. All the other gods were like "For a thousand years we have help shepherd mankind towards civilization. Now, humanity has outgrown us, and it is time to step back and allow them to discover their own destiny. So we shall withdraw from this world into a higher plane of existence." Khonshu's like "Nope." And they're like "What do you mean, nope?" And he's like "I'm not punishing the evil ones. Piss off." Also, bit of trivia: The owner of the sarcophagus is Gaspard Ulliel as Anton Mogart. In the comics, Mogart is the villain *Midnight Man,* a particularly violent thief and nemesis of Moon Knight. Obviously they were setting him up for future stories...and then shortly after filming, Ulliel died in a tragic skiing accident.
2 views, this might be the earliest I've gotten to one of your videos. But then it is 2am. Did you notice how Steven didn't remember making the date with the woman from the museum but Marc is married, and doesn't seem to no longer be interested in Layla, but trying to distance himself from her to protect her from khonshu? Also regarding Arthur taking all those people to the awful heat in Egypt, but moon Knight takes place in around 2025, and if this last week is anything to go by, Londoners might be used to 40°+ temperatures by then. As for how many gods there are, even without seeing the MCU you probably know at least Thor exists, along with the other Norse ones With regards to Arthur being able to manipulate the other gods, in just about every mythology I can think of, god's are known for being arrogant and foolish, and pretty frequently tricked by other gods and sometimes humans. Hell in my country's mythology, the entire country was a giant fish fished up from the depths, and the reason days are the length they are because a man got fed up one day by the sun racing across the sky so he made a big net to tell it to chill out and slow down. And you're right, there absolutely are astronomy apps that let you see a sky map from a different date. Steven and khonshu didn't *have* to give everyone on earth a panic attack, but maybe they didn't have any signal out in the desert.
Thank you for your comment! Definitely interesting points you made about humans being able to fool and trick gods. What country are you from that that’s the mythology of the history? That’s really interesting!!
@@emme new zealand (hence why its 2am) Our Maori mythology is pretty cool, Maui fished the country up out of the ocean from his waka (boat) with the South Island being the boat and the North Island being the fish. Most importantly though for all the legends about him, he also gave humanity dogs (but also doomed mankind to death where we were previously immortal, because he pissed off the goddess of night by crawling into her vagina)

We really need that season 2 of Moon Knight, at the very least announced

@@JCG52577 those apps have been around for years. But they were in the desert so probably had no signal
“What’s a party without guns? A very safe party.” That was funny. 😄

Prepare to have your mind blown in the next episode and bring some tissues for episode 5

Glad you liked episode 3! I love Marc so much and it's the only episode where he's fronting alone for most of it >
18:35 but Marc did look at her like that, a little bit, in the boat scene. You could see he still loves her
The look of wonderment upon your face during the show is great
Feel like we just got to the half time show and I’m anxious for the second half lol
still enjoying the reactions 😂 this TV show is amazing to me
Great reaction, cannot wait for the next episode reaction, I found your MoonKnight reactions teamsters at and love them, keep up the great work
New here, just started watching this series but I absolutely love how perceptive you are, it makes your reactions so entertaining :)
Great Reaction!! Yeah, I was kinda diggin Konshu as well!! Pissed about what happened to him. Good stuff ahead. Rock On!! Peace to You!!!!

😅😂😂 she will suprise when she watches episode 5
17:30 yay you're one of the only reactors who said that (besides myself) ! Marc doesn't fully know himself as well that's true !
Great content .
One of my favorite marvel shows along with loki and Falcon and the Winter soldier.
I don't know if it's been mentioned or if you're already aware, but Ethan Hawke, who plays Arthur, is the father of Maya Hawke, who plays Robin on Stranger Things.
I did know that it’s so awesome to see them both in such recent productions!!
I don't think Khonshu stuck around when the other Gods of Egypt abandoned humanity out of some sense of moral duty.

All the other gods were like "For a thousand years we have help shepherd mankind towards civilization.

Khonshu's like "Nope."
And they're like "What do you mean, nope?"

Its sad to think that Ulliel wasnt even around anymore when the show started streaming
Khonshu basically IS the idea of vengeance, asking him to leave Earth was completely against his nature.
I think Eme not knowing that this was a show about DID really made it more confusing, and possibly more engaging for her.
Death Note reference. Noice!
"He about to, though ..." That would be Amit's logic. Would you punish someone for a thought?
👍
So is not just The Watcher then. All superior entities in the MCU decided not to interfere, how convenient.
Can you please react to arcane ✨💜💜

@@ISavant omg fascinating! Thanks for sharing!
This episode is actually my least favourite of the series, which tells you how good it really is.
