One of my favourite pieces of Moon Knight trivia is the fact that Taskmaster, who can copy any ability, is able, but unwilling, to copy and use Moon Knights fighting style. Because Moon Knight is just crazy enough to rather tank a punch than to avoid it. And Taskmaster isn't as tolerant to pain as Moony is.
My favourite moon knight quote: "Let's establish some parameters. I'm not Spider-Man. And I'm not The Punisher. They represent extreme ends of the same costumed spectrum. I'm Moon Knight. And you all know that means one thing. No one in this room - myself included - knows precisely what I am capable of. I beat The Avengers. Imagine what I could do to any one of you." The mans a fuckin lunatic (mean that as originally intended IE driven crazy my the moon), he beat task master by crashing a helecoptor into him.
@@hyhena-gaming9986 yeah, taskmaster hates fighting him because he just doesnt give a shit about getting beaten up and would rather take hits than put in the effort to dodge or parry. The thing with MK is thar he always has a wildcard, and will do what you never expect. Whatever comes to his mind at the time is what he goes for. he doesn't exactly plan how to fight you, he'll just do it on the fly with whatever works Another fun time time he found out about a hostage situation, beat the fuck out of everyone in the building. When a guy did the "dont come closer, ill shoot the kid" bit and moon knight was all "like i give a fuck, just do it, kill the kid, you think thats gonna stop me killing you, shes already dead, acceptable losses" to which the guy gave up and got knocked out via baseball bat
In the Age of Khonshu Moon Knight explains that he knows Mjolnir is made from the Uru Metal and since Uru is technically moon rock, he's able to control it. Moon Knight repeatedly hits Thor with his own hammer before using Mjolnir to send Thor into space and calling upon moons to come together to crush him.
@@gyrobestzeppeli at least he have better run right now. At least it have interesting enough story to keep me in it (unlike most of other Marvel and DC comics right now). Only Immortal Hulk was capable to do this but after it everything gone to shit.
The chatting shit to Dracula thing is a meme someone made utilizing the character's obscurity, it isn't official. However, moon knight is still hilarious for other reasons, like ritualistically sneaking into Dr. Doom's palace and kicking the shit out of him randomly for fun. Other fun fact is that Taskmaster, the guy who can copy anyone's fighting style, refuses to copy Moon Knight's style because moon knight would rather take a punch than dodge one.
Imagine being one of the smartest & most powerful magically capable beings in the marvel universe, only to get your ass beat by the embodiment of the word Lunatic
My favourite part about Moon Knight is that his mental state makes him unpredictable. Instead of fighting Taskmaster hand-to-hand, he just landed a plane on him.
@@smoothiemcguffin2721 I hope if they do do it they it looks like one of those animorphes things with the final thing be a full skeleton. Like you got dead pool then Moon knight then Taskmaster then the full skeleton.
One of my favorite takes on Marvel Jesus just being a mutant is from a "Texts from superheroes" gag where one of the X-Men goes back and check and Jesus was just Wolverine.
This wiki can’t appreciate the sheer insanity of moon knight properly. It’s like Batman except his resources aren’t just infinite for story purposes so he comes up with insane shit to make up for it. He came up with a way to defeat taskmaster by just crashing into him in a helicopter and when someone tried to hold a civilian at gun point his response was to go on a complete nihilistic rant about if he pulls the trigger that just means there won’t be anything left stopping him from making him experience the worst pains imaginable. If moon knight had to fight Superman he wouldn’t be able to build a kryptonite spear or anything so he’d probably tie a rope around a kryptonite rock and make a flail so he could club super man to death like a baby seal.
Whenever the subject of atheists in universes with known divine intervention comes up, my mind instantly goes to Sanya from The Dresden Files series. Sanya is one of three Knights of the Cross, paladins entrusted with swords fused with nails used during Jesus's crucifixion, each of which can easily cleave anything evil in half. Sanya himself is either an atheist or agnostic. When confronted about this, he says that, while a literal angel DID hand him his sword, he's not 100% sure that angels and gods are actually holy things and might just be super powered otherworldly beings...or possibly aliens.
Honestly that is the best way to do an atheist or agnostic in a world with magic and it bothers me that so few stories use it. I mean you can still acknowledge the existence of a god but still question if it is a god and not just a super powered being claiming godhood. But no just have an atheist who is like one from the real world when Jesus himself shows up to talk with you.
@@lordmeepers7297 I would disagree. I feel that there is a difference between a god that is an essential part of a universe and a powerful being that you give tribute to for a reward of magical powers or to avoid being killed by it. Like the Q from Star Trek I would not recognize as a god because the only godly thing they have is power. But this is mostly based on my subjective reading on what a god is supposed to be.
The best description for atheism in an objectively magical setting that I've ever heard has to be the one for the Pathfinder RPG world of Golarion, specifically the region of Rahadoum. This is an entire country that has outlawed all religions, on the basis that "Yes, we know that the Gods exist, but they do nothing but spark holy wars and inquisitions, and are all a$$h0les that aren't worth worshipping anyway, so screw 'em!"
@@Nostripe361 it depends on the level of power and whether or not they have equals that will determine if they are a god or a God the whole omniscience thing is a moot point as if you have a level of power that renders any hostile action completely harmless it doesn’t matter if you know everything as the moment you become aware of something it ceases to be a problem further point while star fleet is quite disrespectful towards Q there is nothing they could possibly do to ever harm him the most they could ever do is be annoying like a fly buzzing around so to them he is a god and Q has dialogue that infers that he has some level of omniscience
The sentence "Everybody in the comics has had the phoenix force at one point, Lucas." felt like Lucas just touched a flame, got surprised it hurts and Karl told him "It's fire. It burns, Lucas." 😂
In one comic, Moon Knight fights a Boogeyman. First round goes to the Boogeyman, second round Mark empties two machine guns on it. He also realizes that the Boogeyman worshiped and was backed up by Konshu.
Two things to point out: 1: it’s only in one panel, but Marc wears what I call the “Crash test dummy” suit where he severs a guys hand for shooting at him. 2: uses his Moon glider to utterly mash a kidnapper for the express purpose of threatening everyone in the afterlife.
@@TomWonderful I remember going into 2014 with the knowledge people said mr knight was a less brutal moonknight, then I got to issue 5 and realized they were capping, Marc has no problem getting bussy in his church clothes
The thing about those edited panels is that they all 100% could be things said by moonknight. That's what makes him so incredibly funny as a character.
@@hagridsdisappointingson769 Depends who's writing him, defo not from the 70s-2000s comics, perhaps in some modern comics but he would never be that flamboyant about it
The crescant moon thing was the bvs batman thing to kill them in prison. The other thing is that konshu is also kinda fucked up intentionally. Sometimes their relationship is a parental child type relationship while others its more abusive with konshu forcing mark to do bad things and hurt people. He is not someone the books portray as someone you should worship and if mark wasn't chosen as his knight of vengeance he wouldn't want to either.
Yeah me and Khonshu have always had a rocky relationship p. I remember one year on Thanksgiving he yelled because I forgot the ham BUT I swear it was my job to get the turkey. Not ham!
I'll give you another fun fact. In cannon, Marc Spector has an imdb credit as executive producer of a Moon Knight documentary. His secret identity, right there for all the (marvel) world to see. This is akin to Bruce wayne making a documentary about The Batman.
was it the show he made in the bendis run, or was it something else? I’m a comic noob and I’m making my way through some rn, and I’m wondering which one was the one where Marc made a documentary about himself because I saw a panel about characters making fun of it once. I think Tigra was in it?
I know a few comments may have already called it out, but the Dracula panel is actually a modified version of that made by an account called Moon Knight Core. Which is, to the surprise of none, a person who really likes Moon Knight. Edit: As someone said, not just one dude but a few people.
Moon Knight core is a group of people that makes Moony memes in an attempt to draw people into the character and read his comics, rather than an individual fan, very chill group.
In the currently running Moonknight series, Marc under the name Mr.Night has stopped following Konshu because of the fact that Konshu attempted to destroy the earth.
12:00 actually yes. I can’t remember which comic series it was but it one Khonshu says he chose Marc because of his “weak mind”. More modern versions of Moon Knight show Khonshu as the utter bully he is
Yeah in the Doug Lemire run, Rereading it now and its pretty much interesting with Marc confronting his other personalities and it diving into his childhood
The disociative disorder makes so many good moments, like when he got beaten up by a villain and have a discussion with the god personality and then go full punisher on the villain in the second night claiming he doesent need Konshu's powers(but still wears his costume) or that other time where one of his personalities got one old lover pregnant without his knowlodge and then he got a 5 year old daughter in the middle of a case...
My favourite event that happened in a comic was when someone was chatting shit and he rolled with it Guy: "Careful man I hear moonknight attacks with all sorts of random bullshit" MoonKnight: "RANDOM BULLSHIT GO!"
All through this I was thinking "is this the guy from the 'Random bullshit, go!' meme? I think this is the guy from that meme" then it never got mentioned so I started questioning myself
Just a quick thing: I have a friend with DID, and according to them, the DID was portrayed really realistic. There are several people in their group that couldn’t watch the show because they kept dissociating. So I appreciate that Disney did their research unlike some of the other media that had DID as a plot point.
I watched moonknight with my friend who also has DID and they also found it to be quite realistic, there was a few things they got annoyed about like Marc and Steven being able to see each other in mirrors and both of them looking exactly the same but overall it was great representation
So the reason Batman has the yellow is so that it’s all people see if they spot him it’s the most heavily armored part of his suit. He wants you to shoot there.
"I'm moon knight, you lunatic, anyway, got any shrooms?" Seriously, I love moon knight for this kinda crazy shit, there's actually videos are dubs of his crazy stuff lol
The thing that concerns me about comic universes : Khonsu exists. Thor and Loki exist. Dr. Strange and Scarlet Witch exist. If Thor is right, and magic is just high level tech, why does no one research magic tech? Why has no one said, "Ok, let's rebuild the Bifrost."
Because the Bifrost was built by this one nerd Asgardian who died in a war a thousand years ago, but he left no notes, and no one has been able to figure out how he did it. That's my theory anyway. Kinda like how we still don't know how Tesla did some of the shit he did.
For the record, while he does talk mad shit like the time he asked Frank Castle how his dead family was, the thing with him and Dracula is not actually real. Those were memes made to fool people. The thing is almost all of those examples could be real panels because of the shit he talks.
especially considering he does shit like beat up a bunch of punk ghosts using a bone suit, in a series where he has a running joke of just fucking loathing ghosts.
Another important thing to know about when he asked how Frank's family was, is that his family is ALSO dead and even had one of them killed by Frank himself.
@@dolier2802 the fun thing is, many of the Moon Knight meme compilations, include unedited comic panels as well. It throws everyone off, new fans and old.
Spidey - I gotta ask, did you dress up as me and beat up a strip club? Moon knight - little bit Spidey - uh why? Moon knight - I’m working on some new techniques Spidey - new techniques that involve dressing up as me and beating up strippers?
My favourite Moon Knight panel is the: Etherial voice without body "PERSONwhoWANTStoBEimbuedWITHmoonPOWERSsaysWHAT" Mark Spector "wait...What"? Etherial voice without body "Okay thanks, see you when you wake up"
Younger pre-teen me in the 90s often used to confuse Moon Knight and Sleepwalker. It also doesn't help that Image Comics' Shadowhawk was also rising in popularity around that time and added to that confusion.
I'm so damn excited for the show coming out. Moon Knight is such a fun character. One of my favorite Moon Knight moments from the comics was one time in the books in trying to prove that a guy who's working for him is legit, dressed up as Bullseye and started beating the shit out of this dude. Once he figured that it was Moon Knight beating him up and not Bullseye, Moon stops and pretty much just goes "YEAH YOU GOT ME IT WAS ME! Alright you're cool, you can work with me" Also because in that run, his voices in his head are Steve Rogers, Spiderman and Wolverine, he gets that dude to make him basically at home versions of Cap's shield, Wolverine's claws and Spidey's Web shooters pretty much because they are cool as hell
Moon Knight basically also did The Raid all by himself with just a few little moon discs and a metal stick. One of the coolest fight sequences in comics.
Okay, I'm old. And maybe Marvel evolves. But way back... Moon Knight, first appearance as a "Werewolf By Night" antagonist. Got his own comic, floundered a bit, then it made Bill Sienkiewicz reputation as his art style(s) evolved tremendously during his run on the title. And during that period Moon Knight had multiple personality disorder - or at least multiple secret identities, as Moon Knight, as a Bruce Wayne style wealthy socialite, as a mercenary and as a cab driver. Also he rode around in a flying moon vehicle sort of like Blue Beetle's bug, which was chauffeured by his butler "Frenchie". Not certain but I think Moon Knight was a direct sales only title for a while in the '80s.
I can’t remember which comic it was in but I remember reading a short conversation between Moon Knight and The Sentry as they discussed both their mental issues. Sentry is an agoraphobe if I remember correctly and it was just a nice little chat about how they are keeping up with their therapists. Was just nice to see.
Moon knight is the epitome of poising through other attacks. He’s like oh that a sword nice, here is my fist, it will now reside under your chin, at Mach 1
Moon Knight by Lemire & Smallwood is one of my favorite comics ever, it’s so interesting to go through a Moonknight character study. I’m so hyped for the new show since a lot of the show seems to be based on that run. Nice video! I always find these videos enjoyable. Especially this one about Looney Mooney haha
One thing I want to point out is Dissasociative Identity Disorder is caused by childhood trauma and can't be treated with medication. Therapy can help merge personalities (commonly known as alters) if desired but many systems (people with D.I.D.) either choose to function as a multiple or can't afford therapy.
If the moon god is Egyptian, odds are they are both male and female. Egyptian gods tended to take male and female forms, though most are generally depicted as one gender of the other. Egyptian mythology is fascinating, and I wish it was used more in Hollywood (and before you mention Gods of Egypt, I meant used WELL!!)
At least Gods of Egypt used actual egyptian gods while Moon Knight just made one up lol. Hollywood has been using mummies and egyptian mythology since the 30s so I don't know what you mean by not using egypt enough. None of them are good but there's still many of them. What do you mean by gods being both male and female? My egyptian mythology is pretty rusty so I don't remember much but that sounds interesting. Could you tell more?
@@HotDogTimeMachine385 Egyptian mythology gets used, sure, but not to the same extent as Greek or Norse, at least not in the West. The only BIG franchise based on Egyptian culture is the Mummy, and that's not really based on mythology in the same way something like God of War or Thor is. As for gods being both male and female, Egypt's mythology was very fluid. Head gods changed a lot, and they have a lot of myths that function like cycles, probably because Egyptian culture and survival revolved around the Nile, so yearly cycles were very important to them. The Journey of Ra is about the journey of the Sun God every single day and night. That kind of thing. So gods could be depicted as one gender or the other, but they usually had one gender they were depicted as more often than not.
How did you forget to mention that he left Taskmaster crying on the floor in a fetal position (possibly while peeing himself) afraid that Moon Knight was going to carve his face off like he did to Bushman! 🌙💀
Obscure Moon Knight fact: Marc Spector is descended from a hidden race called the Hellbent. What are the Hellbent? Just imagine Clive Barker's Nightbreed transplanted into the Marvel Universe and you've pretty much got it.
Look at him assuming moon knight won’t be that good. Help me I’m so emotionally attached. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, my name is Steven with a V. Help…..me…….
In the same way that Khonshu at one point was suspected to be just a part of Moon Knight's madness, I've seen his super strength being explained as just him using hysterical strength (aka your body going 100% capacity not caring about how it damages the muscles) and simply letting his body get fucked up by it (much like how he "would rather take a punch than block it")
I've liked moon knight for years and I'm really happy to see him getting recognition, for anyone interested he shows up in an episode of avengers assemble-secret wars, the episode has a villain called beyonder in it, I would be more specific but I can't find it on youtube anymore. anyway moon knights really cool in that episode if anyone fancies searching it up to watch.
Unfortunately, the panel of MK calling Dracula a Nerd is an edited panel by Moon Knight-Core. They're also responsible for "Random Bullshit Go!" And anything with MK referencing ketamine. I highly recommend their page! They do really good work!
I discovered moon knight on a spiderman game, I thought he was the most awesome character in existance, imagine my surprise reading his actual comics, though I started to like him even more after
Some caveats that were missed in here, the “is [Khonshu] going after someone who’s mentally ill?” Yes. Khonshu actively went after Marc because his mind would be easier to control. His multiple personalities are also not really a power, as they don’t really give him an edge, and he does actively receive therapeutic help in a lot of his comic runs.
All I know about Moon Knight is that he likes Ketamine and is searching for Dracula, that big fucking nerd, who owes him money. He doesn't remember how much but "a man's gotta have a code" Also a line that stuck with me "Forget if a god can bleed, can a god simp?"
rewatching this after the tv show, hope folks enjoyed it, don't particularly remember it other than genuinely enjoying isaac's portrayal. (and being one of several shows I'm looking forward to sharing with my lass when we finally move in together).
Tony Stark having Thor on speed dial has to play havok with him going to AA. Telling him he has to admit he is powerless when it comes to his substance, and he might try going along with it for a moment but when they tell him to trust a higher power the higher power is Thor and Thor wat to buy Tony drinks.
One thing I like about it is that even without the DID, he’s still a fucking lunatic, that’s just Marc Spector, the other personalities have nothing to do with the crazy shit he does
missed the best part of moon knight, Moon knight comics leave it ambiguous as to weather he is insane and imagining it all or it's all true/a bit of both. yeah he beat a psychic but the psychic either got god snapped or the psychic got lost in his mental illness. stuff like that
That hasn't really been the case for a couple of years now, even since the current Avengers run Khonshu has basically been confirmed to be real considering that he became a foe that the Avengers had to beat and now Moon Knight is his own vigilante who is not guided by Khonshu

@@owenblount7334 literally any time in video games when they hand you explosive’s and they expect you not to use them
The disociative disorder makes so many good moments, like when he got beaten up by a villain and have a discussion with the god personality and then go full punisher on the villain in the second night claiming he doesent need Konshu's powers(but still wears his costume) or that other time where one of his personalities got one old lover pregnant without his knowlodge and then he got a 5 year old daughter in the middle of a case...
My favourite event that happened in a comic was when someone was chatting shit and he rolled with it
Guy: "Careful man I hear moonknight attacks with all sorts of random bullshit"
MoonKnight: "RANDOM BULLSHIT GO!"
All through this I was thinking "is this the guy from the 'Random bullshit, go!' meme? I think this is the guy from that meme" then it never got mentioned so I started questioning myself
Unfortunately, "Random Bullshit Go!" Is a meme. A very very good meme. Seriously, go see Moon Knight-Core's stuff.
Never happened
@@dolier2802 can't stop me from wishing it would though
Moon knight is a crazy good read and heavy on the crazy. The multiple personalities and the supernatural element interplay gives some wild stories
Thanks glad you’re a fan of me
Just a quick thing: I have a friend with DID, and according to them, the DID was portrayed really realistic. There are several people in their group that couldn’t watch the show because they kept dissociating. So I appreciate that Disney did their research unlike some of the other media that had DID as a plot point.
I watched moonknight with my friend who also has DID and they also found it to be quite realistic, there was a few things they got annoyed about like Marc and Steven being able to see each other in mirrors and both of them looking exactly the same but overall it was great representation
Did you guys know there's an amalgam universe where Nightwing and Moon Knight combined to make MoonWing. Pretty much just Moon Knight in black though.
Not naming the combination Nightknight was the cowards way.
"Are you ready, for some fucking band names?" Makes me smile every time you say that little tree. Make it a T-shirt!
Taskmaster HATES copying Moon Knight's fighting style as he'd rather eat a punch than try to block or dodge.
So the reason Batman has the yellow is so that it’s all people see if they spot him it’s the most heavily armored part of his suit. He wants you to shoot there.
Arkham Knight even straight-up states that in one of the first encounters with him
And yet his face is completely visible.
That’s one of the first things mention in the video lol
@@John-Doe-Yo no they said he doesn’t want to be seen
@@shadowanderson2004 yes but they also said that the symbol was meant to draw fire for the same reason you mentioned similar to the punisher
"I'm moon knight, you lunatic, anyway, got any shrooms?" Seriously, I love moon knight for this kinda crazy shit, there's actually videos are dubs of his crazy stuff lol
"Random bullshit! GO!!!"
Those aren’t real panels but if you wanna see moon knight talk shit google the time he asked punisher how his dead family was.
I guess you don't love Moon Knight that much because he nearly never says anything like that
Yeah a lot of the stuff that's been memed from Moon Knight are actually edits of his comics and not actually the comics themselves
@@dolier2802 fake fans
The thing that concerns me about comic universes : Khonsu exists. Thor and Loki exist. Dr. Strange and Scarlet Witch exist. If Thor is right, and magic is just high level tech, why does no one research magic tech? Why has no one said, "Ok, let's rebuild the Bifrost."
Because the Bifrost was built by this one nerd Asgardian who died in a war a thousand years ago, but he left no notes, and no one has been able to figure out how he did it. That's my theory anyway. Kinda like how we still don't know how Tesla did some of the shit he did.
@@eshbena I really like your theory xD
yes. the only character i've seen that combines magic and tech in comics is doctor doom.
yeah but the difference is that oscar isaac is a damn good actor
For the record, while he does talk mad shit like the time he asked Frank Castle how his dead family was, the thing with him and Dracula is not actually real. Those were memes made to fool people. The thing is almost all of those examples could be real panels because of the shit he talks.
especially considering he does shit like beat up a bunch of punk ghosts using a bone suit, in a series where he has a running joke of just fucking loathing ghosts.
Another important thing to know about when he asked how Frank's family was, is that his family is ALSO dead and even had one of them killed by Frank himself.
Makes it real easy to spot people who say they read Moon Knight but actually don't
Moon knight is also the same dude who wore a Spiderman costume overtop his own Moon knight costume and went into a strip club to beat up some thugs
@@dolier2802 the fun thing is, many of the Moon Knight meme compilations, include unedited comic panels as well. It throws everyone off, new fans and old.
Spidey - I gotta ask, did you dress up as me and beat up a strip club?
Moon knight - little bit
Spidey - uh why?
Moon knight - I’m working on some new techniques
Spidey - new techniques that involve dressing up as me and beating up strippers?
Spidermoon, spidermoon, rips your face off and gets confused
My favourite Moon Knight panel is the:
Etherial voice without body "PERSONwhoWANTStoBEimbuedWITHmoonPOWERSsaysWHAT"
Mark Spector "wait...What"?
Etherial voice without body "Okay thanks, see you when you wake up"
He even had a mind war, and the many personalities teamed up and kill off the Marc Specter personality or awhile
I had basic knowledge of MK before the show and as soon as the trailer came out I knew that he would be one of my favourites
Younger pre-teen me in the 90s often used to confuse Moon Knight and Sleepwalker. It also doesn't help that Image Comics' Shadowhawk was also rising in popularity around that time and added to that confusion.
I'm so damn excited for the show coming out. Moon Knight is such a fun character. One of my favorite Moon Knight moments from the comics was one time in the books in trying to prove that a guy who's working for him is legit, dressed up as Bullseye and started beating the shit out of this dude. Once he figured that it was Moon Knight beating him up and not Bullseye, Moon stops and pretty much just goes "YEAH YOU GOT ME IT WAS ME! Alright you're cool, you can work with me" Also because in that run, his voices in his head are Steve Rogers, Spiderman and Wolverine, he gets that dude to make him basically at home versions of Cap's shield, Wolverine's claws and Spidey's Web shooters pretty much because they are cool as hell
Happy birthday Lucas! I really hope Moon Knight ends up being a good show.
@6:38
Karl - "I do have a hunger"
Me - "Please say for faces"
Moon Knight basically also did The Raid all by himself with just a few little moon discs and a metal stick. One of the coolest fight sequences in comics.
The original Marvel hallway fight. And it has more than a few similarities to the Daredevil show's hallway fight, too.
Okay, I'm old. And maybe Marvel evolves. But way back... Moon Knight, first appearance as a "Werewolf By Night" antagonist. Got his own comic, floundered a bit, then it made Bill Sienkiewicz reputation as his art style(s) evolved tremendously during his run on the title. And during that period Moon Knight had multiple personality disorder - or at least multiple secret identities, as Moon Knight, as a Bruce Wayne style wealthy socialite, as a mercenary and as a cab driver. Also he rode around in a flying moon vehicle sort of like Blue Beetle's bug, which was chauffeured by his butler "Frenchie". Not certain but I think Moon Knight was a direct sales only title for a while in the '80s.
I still have those issues. Cause I'm old too. :)
1:23 now THAT is an awesome quote
I love Moon Knight, the show was incredible and his suit is fucking badass
5:16 They know that Jesus was not a mutant because everyone knows that Jesus was actually a Stand user.
I’ve never looked into moon knight too much but from bits I’ve heard he’s pretty interesting. Also has a dope outfit
my favorite interaction in comics.
punisher: hows your fake moon god?
moon knight: good, hows your dead wife and kid?
I’ve waited SO LONG for a moon knight video from Karl, it’s crazy how you get what you want when you don’t badger the creators
Ive waited 20 years. For Moon Knight to get ANY shred of light in the public stratosphere.
I can’t remember which comic it was in but I remember reading a short conversation between Moon Knight and The Sentry as they discussed both their mental issues. Sentry is an agoraphobe if I remember correctly and it was just a nice little chat about how they are keeping up with their therapists.
Was just nice to see.
12:30 Moon Spiderman? Come on, Spidermoon is RIGHT THERE!
Moon knight is the epitome of poising through other attacks. He’s like oh that a sword nice, here is my fist, it will now reside under your chin, at Mach 1
Moon Knight suffers from.... Lunacy.
Moon Knight by Lemire & Smallwood is one of my favorite comics ever, it’s so interesting to go through a Moonknight character study. I’m so hyped for the new show since a lot of the show seems to be based on that run.
Nice video! I always find these videos enjoyable. Especially this one about Looney Mooney haha
Glad I’m your favorite!!
06:00 I am both annoyed and really really impressed by that spot on prediction.
One thing I want to point out is Dissasociative Identity Disorder is caused by childhood trauma and can't be treated with medication. Therapy can help merge personalities (commonly known as alters) if desired but many systems (people with D.I.D.) either choose to function as a multiple or can't afford therapy.
If the moon god is Egyptian, odds are they are both male and female. Egyptian gods tended to take male and female forms, though most are generally depicted as one gender of the other.
Egyptian mythology is fascinating, and I wish it was used more in Hollywood (and before you mention Gods of Egypt, I meant used WELL!!)
At least Gods of Egypt used actual egyptian gods while Moon Knight just made one up lol. Hollywood has been using mummies and egyptian mythology since the 30s so I don't know what you mean by not using egypt enough. None of them are good but there's still many of them.
What do you mean by gods being both male and female? My egyptian mythology is pretty rusty so I don't remember much but that sounds interesting. Could you tell more?
@@HotDogTimeMachine385 Egyptian mythology gets used, sure, but not to the same extent as Greek or Norse, at least not in the West. The only BIG franchise based on Egyptian culture is the Mummy, and that's not really based on mythology in the same way something like God of War or Thor is.
As for gods being both male and female, Egypt's mythology was very fluid. Head gods changed a lot, and they have a lot of myths that function like cycles, probably because Egyptian culture and survival revolved around the Nile, so yearly cycles were very important to them. The Journey of Ra is about the journey of the Sun God every single day and night. That kind of thing.
So gods could be depicted as one gender or the other, but they usually had one gender they were depicted as more often than not.
The Phoenix Force is like a STI,
Everyone gets it at one point.
Wait, the thing where Dracula owes moonknight money wasn't just a meme?
That's insane
No it is just a meme, it's an edited comic panel
Popular photoshop unfortunately
I thought it was Luke Cage who said it to Dracula
@@Rockstar-yv3cu no, luke cage said it to Doctor Doom
@@Rockstar-yv3cu pretty sure Luke asking doctor doom
How did you forget to mention that he left Taskmaster crying on the floor in a fetal position (possibly while peeing himself) afraid that Moon Knight was going to carve his face off like he did to Bushman! 🌙💀
I can imagine Moon Knights mother calling him Moon Pie.
Obscure Moon Knight fact: Marc Spector is descended from a hidden race called the Hellbent. What are the Hellbent? Just imagine Clive Barker's Nightbreed transplanted into the Marvel Universe and you've pretty much got it.
THANK YOU LUCAS! I been dieing for moonknight
I've been collecting the og moon night run, I'm only 2 comics away from having 1-15
I give the actor props, he rocked playing moonknight
I know moon knight only from 2 things
1) He is looking for dracula because dracula owes him money.
2) "random bullshit go!" meme
Look at him assuming moon knight won’t be that good.
Help me I’m so emotionally attached.
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, my name is Steven with a V.
Help…..me…….
Their prediction for the moonknight was mostly accurate
The misquoted Moon Knight comics are the absolute best.
In the same way that Khonshu at one point was suspected to be just a part of Moon Knight's madness, I've seen his super strength being explained as just him using hysterical strength (aka your body going 100% capacity not caring about how it damages the muscles) and simply letting his body get fucked up by it (much like how he "would rather take a punch than block it")
I've liked moon knight for years and I'm really happy to see him getting recognition, for anyone interested he shows up in an episode of avengers assemble-secret wars, the episode has a villain called beyonder in it, I would be more specific but I can't find it on youtube anymore. anyway moon knights really cool in that episode if anyone fancies searching it up to watch.
Some how you nailed it, at 12min in. I’m pretty sure in 2ep of Moon Knight the main villain so far says the same thing to Steven.
Fr, I’ve been asking for a moon knight episode for a few years now.
Okay, just got to say it . . . the Spider-man Mook Knight fusion should've been called Luna-tick.
Unfortunately, the panel of MK calling Dracula a Nerd is an edited panel by Moon Knight-Core. They're also responsible for "Random Bullshit Go!" And anything with MK referencing ketamine. I highly recommend their page! They do really good work!
Yes! I've been waiting a long time for this channel to tackle MK!
I can’t get over how goofy the fight scene is in episode two when he’s fighting an invisible dog.
Favorite Moon Knight quote:
"Random shit, GO"
I discovered moon knight on a spiderman game, I thought he was the most awesome character in existance, imagine my surprise reading his actual comics, though I started to like him even more after
Damn I didnt know Tommy Wiseau was one of Moon Knight's victims
Of course he is. Moon Knight is well-known for beating up vampires.
@@StevetheWizard2591 his latest comic even opens with him killing some vampires
@@azureheart2846 Not just vampires, vampires with a pyramid scheme. That's how you know they definitely deserved it.
Happy birthday far away Lucas, welcome to your best decade so far
I like how you say says, down my neck of the woods we say sez
That panel of Moon Knight cussing out Dracula is actually fake
Honestly, lunarachnid would have also been a great name for the moon knight/spidey fusion
Spider-moon, spider-moon, sings along with this spider-tune...
A belated happy birthday to far away Lucas
Arachknight: Spider-moon! Spider-moon! Complete lunatic Spider-moon!
6:09
Well… he’s not wrong
Moon Knight after carving the crescent on someone's forehead: "You know how you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice."
Some caveats that were missed in here, the “is [Khonshu] going after someone who’s mentally ill?” Yes. Khonshu actively went after Marc because his mind would be easier to control. His multiple personalities are also not really a power, as they don’t really give him an edge, and he does actively receive therapeutic help in a lot of his comic runs.
Jesus was confirmed as of recently to be a mutant 😂😂😂😂
The Phoenix Force is the village bicycle of Marvel...
All I know about Moon Knight is that he likes Ketamine and is searching for Dracula, that big fucking nerd, who owes him money. He doesn't remember how much but "a man's gotta have a code"
Also a line that stuck with me "Forget if a god can bleed, can a god simp?"
rewatching this after the tv show, hope folks enjoyed it, don't particularly remember it other than genuinely enjoying isaac's portrayal. (and being one of several shows I'm looking forward to sharing with my lass when we finally move in together).
Tony Stark having Thor on speed dial has to play havok with him going to AA. Telling him he has to admit he is powerless when it comes to his substance, and he might try going along with it for a moment but when they tell him to trust a higher power the higher power is Thor and Thor wat to buy Tony drinks.
Moon knight is essentially a Warlock of the great old one from D&D
Moon Knight can beat your shit in in both the physical world, and imagination land
At a glance that moon knight cover looks like a symbiote head
Spider-Moon! Come on!
One thing I like about it is that even without the DID, he’s still a fucking lunatic, that’s just Marc Spector, the other personalities have nothing to do with the crazy shit he does
missed the best part of moon knight, Moon knight comics leave it ambiguous as to weather he is insane and imagining it all or it's all true/a bit of both. yeah he beat a psychic but the psychic either got god snapped or the psychic got lost in his mental illness. stuff like that
That hasn't really been the case for a couple of years now, even since the current Avengers run Khonshu has basically been confirmed to be real considering that he became a foe that the Avengers had to beat and now Moon Knight is his own vigilante who is not guided by Khonshu
@@dolier2802 man, that Jason Aaron Avengers story was like a blessing and a curse for Moon Knight.
@@dn22pkkdd476 For real, lol, did some cool things, but ehhhh, would rather not have it overall, lol
Disney messed up by not having Mark Wahlberg be Marcy Marc The Moon Knight
And his alternate personalities would be the Funky Bunch
