Moon Knight

Bob Iger said that they will do less of these series; I think that that is the right call. They did all these half-cooked, unimpactful things with big names without achieving much. Except for WandaVision a bit and Loki, none really worked. The best thing in this series is the end credits; that shouldn't be the case. The last episode was kinda interesting but the rest is very forgettable. They got the costumes right also; but these ar enot enough to keep you interested for 6 hours.

It was just okay. Felt like what could have been a fun movie, instead streeetched into 6 episodes. Could have been a lot more fun.

Works well enough as a kind of vehicle to watch Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke cut loose a bit - whole backstory / mythology stuff with the gods and their avatars was ok. When it tries to do the “superhero action” it just kinda feels like a low budget movie from 2005.

I found Moon Knight pretty frustrating. Maybe I just couldn't get interested enough to care, but I found the Egyptian mythology tough to track. Oscar Isaac makes a good lead and has the range to portray DID well, and the cast around him is good enough to support him as they should. But I'm getting fatigued with all these Marvel shows: they don't have the same quality as the first couple did and feel like expansions of the universe and tone that might not go anywhere.

I enjoyed the shift of tone from the usual Marvel fare: either a super confident pro or a hero who just got their powers for the first time. And Isaac gets a lot of time to shine flipping back and forth between personalities. But I found Hawke boring and the whole finale (minus the post-credits scene) a dull way to end. Overall it was a solid, medium entry.

Did you know figs pollinate through wasps? A wasp burrows inside a little hole in the bottom of the fig to lay its eggs and then dies. The eggs hatch and the baby wasps are covered in pollen as they dig out of the fig. Then they go have dirty wasp sex and burrow into more figs to lay eggs. If you've eaten a Fig Newton, you've almost certainly eaten a fucking wasp. You are so gross cause you ate a wasp. Oh, and like, this show exists. I like to call the little fig burrow hole a fussy (fig pussy).

Suffers from the same problem as most Disney+ exclusives: that they would have been much better as a two hour movies than the stretched out 6+ Series format they constantly opt for. That being said, I’m a sucker for Egyptian mythology, tomb raiding and Oscar Isaac in general. The ending was also surprisingly ambiguous, which I quite liked.

This inspired me to dust off my Book of the Dead and recall a passage: “Hail, Gerusher, son of Dasheytd, who is united with Oser! Enter into the underworld as a greatly purified man. The two principles of double truth have purified you in the great hall of justice. Your purification took place in the earthly domain … You see light, day and night.” — In the show: “Are you an Egyptian superhero?” “Yes.” The DID isn’t a gimmick, it’s as close to ancient moral storytelling as this platform allows.

Something different great Combination of Uncharted, Indiana Jones and Fight Club. Still Ethan Hawkes Character could have been shown more and a bit more hand to hand Action. Still crazy Journey that will remain noticeable for the next Phase of the Mcu

Disappointing mistreatment of the character.
