@The Movie Couple - What happened is actually pretty simple: Marc/Steven aren´t capable to distinguish which one of the two is REALITY (the world where he is a badass superhero, or the one where he´s a mentally ill man locked in an asylum). So he chooses to live in the best one: the one where he´s Moon Knight. And we, as the audience, are in the same situation he is. Also: Lyla is portraying a version of an old Marvel character: the Scarlet Scarab. In the comics, the Scarlet Scarab is an Egyptian superhero, named Abdul Faoul (that´s Lyla´s family name, and apparently her father could´ve been the original version of the character, in this show).
Comic spoilers Although I dont read comics myself I remember earlier when people found out that they changed it so Steven and mr.knight were one and the same, a lot of people complained coz he was just standing with escrima sticks, some people from comics thought that mr.knight would just be a gag character and just stand around with his fancy suit but I am glad the finale and Steven proved them wrong
I was wondering how Steven was able to fight so well... I figured that becoming an Avatar probably "gives" you some fighting skills since it wouldn't make sense for the gods to have to limit their options to people who are already highly skilled. Like obviously, if the original person is physically fit and can fight (like Marc and Layla) it helps, but they probably get a combat upgrade too once becoming an Avatar. But what probably matters more to become an Avatar is whether or not they have the innate characteristics that match their respective god/goddess.
Also Jake came out when they were in an extreme amount of pain and being killed by Harrow. Indicating, Jake took on the physical punishments in their childhood.
So much about this show I love. Emotional, gripping, focused, and nuanced for all of the characters. I hope moving forward marvel does this same justice to all it's characters in film and series. WandaVision, GoTG2 and No Way, and Moon Knight hit the right notes on almost all cylinders. Have a great one guys and thank you for your reactions!!
I need that Layla as Taweret's Avatar Funko Pop NOW PLEASE! I love this show! The fact that Konshu frees Marc and Steven, but stays bound to Jake with the other two none the wiser is SLICK.
If you see Moon Knight and the Scarlet Scarab again it will be in the MCU, Disney isn't trying to mess up their chances. Loki was already rejected for Limited Series because it has a season 2 planned. I'm sure Feige has plans for them...
Sounds like Marvel switched something in the comics again. There is another suit. It wasn't Marc's suit but it was his brothers that became the new champion after Marc died. His brother's character was called Shadow Knight. It would make sense because Jake is working in the shadows of Marc/Steven's mind because they don't know he's there
@@thegreendingus7302 there was something recently like Disney changed the description of the last episode from “Series Finale” to “Season Finale” on their socials. Might be a huge reach but could signal more seasons in future
I feels the credit scene explains a thing from the comics. Mark and Steven doesn't know when Jake is in control. Khonshu knows that, so he uses Jake to do the ''dirty'' work, cuz he knows Mark and Steven will not agree. Jake is badass personality. I love that Mark and Steven don't know when Jake is in control and it makes it more interesting.
I think we're about to see the birth of Shadow Knight. Marvel does switch things up a lot for the MCU. Instead of Marc's brother what about Jake? Would explain Layla's reaction of what was that? It was another suit with another personality
@@blackraven85_1 the cave didn't seem real, so Shadow Knight can still be his brother. I think Khonshu can alter reality *his bird bones in their backyard*, we didn't see boys drowning in that memory. But Marc THINKS that's what happened.
OMG did not expect to love this show this much! When Layla said" yeah I'm a superhero" that was great so I expect her to be popping up in other series too I hope!
All three actors did such an incredible job and each deserve their own highly deserved praise. Oscar, May and Ethan all knocked it out of the park!! Easily my favorite MCU show now
JAKE LOCKEY AT THE END HOLY HELL; totally called it khonshu was gonna pull something like this, also layla being tawaret avatar pure epic moments the whole episode. I said it once ill say it again the best episode correction the best show in the mcu on par with daredevil. This was one hell of a ride
I had wrong… I thought it was Jake in that scene but… that’s ok! And I really really love this series!! It is my favorite show of all the Marvel shows! And Oscar Issacs acting in this is a masterpiece!! I hope we will see more of Jake & Moon Knight. And I WANT another season or a movie or two.
Have you watched multiverse of madness ?? I saw today and for me it was better than no way home since no way home was more of a generic MCU movie just like shang chi. Three spiderman overdramatic were kind off too. But horror in MOM and its theme throw me off.
This was a good finale. A bit rushed here and there, especially after last week, But that was alright. I cried again when Marc rejected paradise for Steven. Best Duo ever. Them together is so good, and how seamless one switched to the other later, wow. I NEED a second season. I still have questions. Is Layla living with them??? What happened to her? And of course the whole mid credit scene....wow. I mean we knew it, but Konshu is a dick. Seriously. The moment he promised Steven to let them both go, I knew he was holding on to Jake.
I LOVE what they've done with Layla. The actress is phenomenal. I think the show could benefit from another episode, because this episode seemed pretty rushed, but overall, I really liked this show.
Now we know that all the fights in the first episode was Jake except for the bathroom scene. Marc and Steven's transition to Jake is always glitches, where Marc and Steven's transitions are always easy and seamless.
I don't think so. The glitch effect is what happens when one personality blacks out, memory-wise. Until the end of the first episode, Steven always blacked out when Marc showed up, so some of those glitches were Marc.
@@IceMetalPunk we don't know if that was Jake however from the fall to the ground. Remember Marc doesn't remember the lapses, only when it's Steven. I think there's a cyclical order as to who gets control of the body. When Steven senses he can deescalate a situation he takes over, when someone needs to be stopped or protected Marc is there. If somebody has to be killed, and beaten to death to finish something, Jake supersedes. I believe Khonshu is who dictates the allocation of power shared between the 3. He is always watching and forces his will actively.
I think it used to glitch from Steven to Marc because they weren't really accepting each other's presence. Now they share their life so the transition can actually be fluid
9:20 I took Marc's actions as him sharing his heart with his new brother. Steven couldn't exist because he wasn't real. His heart was Marc's missing half. Marc put his heart in Steven's hand because he was offering to share. Marc blamed himself for Randall's death and he's been living with that grief for most of his life. Marc had earned passage to an eternity of silence and peace at Steven's expense. That was not sustainable for Marc. Having Randall's death weigh on him all these years was hard on him, and he wasn't about to have Steven's weigh on him for an eternity. Besides, Steven became the brother Marc didn't know he had and needed! Randall's gone, but Steven has come to fill that void. Marc and Layla clearly have feelings for one another, and she now knows the truth thanks to Taweret! Steven's feelings for Layla is going to make things awkward for sure. 17:54 She saw an @$$kicking that no one would ever want to experience, lol. When did Jake enter the picture? The last episode was all about Marc becoming whole again and that was tied to his suppressed memories which were tied to Steven. The thing is, Marc changed to Steven whenever his mom put him in danger and Steven has no memories of the beatings! Did Jake take over and take the hits? His that why Jake is such a tank and hits like a truck? I hope the next season or movie featuring Moon Knight explain this because if Jake was there during Marc's childhood, why wasn't he necessary in rebuilding Marc's heart? Is it because Steven and Marc have no connection to him? 22:06 to be fair, Khonshu did exactly what Steven asked him to do--go back and watch the deal Steven made. Steven and Marc aren't aware of Jake and they made a deal for Khonshu to release the TWO OF THEM. Khonshu didn't tell them that he made a deal with all of Marc, but that's on them, lol. Khonshu's a jerk, so this all tracks. He's an ends justifies the means sort of god and it doesn't help that he sees humans as servants of gods. He does care for his avatar, but the mission comes before feelings. Next season or movie featuring Moon Knight is going to be great. Can't wait! Oscar should win best actor and supporting actor for this, lol. Has that ever happened before? I'd love to see it be a first, he's earned it! Emmys for everyone!
Regarding the Emmy for Oscar Isaac, who would be the Main character and who would be the Supporting? I mean, we started with Steven as our protagonist. But as the show progressed, we learnt that Marc is the host of their body, and he is the titular Moon Knight. So I am curious how that nomination would go.. 😅
We NEED to have Layla become an Avenger! And she needs an awesome superhero name as well. And I thought Marc was the deadliest of the 3 but Jake Lockley leaves a Punisher lever wake of destruction in his path!!!
Punisher level? At least Punisher doesn't kill indiscriminately…… As we all have seen, Jake is a serial killer. He kills people and enjoys it. He already killed 2 hospital staffs before killing Harrold. Man, a soldier, a british man, and a murdurer in one body.
This episode, in fact this whole series was so, so good! I really hope that there is going to be a second Moon Knight series, so many questions. Surely this isn’t the last appearance of Layla, especially as she is now an avatar as well. I hope that he also appears in upcoming MCU films. On another subject, I’ve got my ticket for Multiverse of Madness opening day tomorrow. Really looking forward to it, loved your non-spoiler reaction to it, looking forward to your full reaction soon. May the Forth be with you both. Regards from a Scottish subscriber. 😊🏴
Good Work Guys I m following you since 1 years. You are so kind and good couple. May God Bless you both. Love From Pakistan. And also I m big fan of Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Marc consciously made Steven to cope with his trauma of being physically and mentally/emotionally abused by his mother, but I think that he, or Steven, unintentionally created Jake to be the one who took all the abuse 😰🥺😣😔. He's the most violent, destructive, bloodthirsty and aggressive of all three alters 😰. However, while he _enjoys_ killing, and without remorse or guilt, he's not _completely_ without empathy 🤔, as he seems to mostly come out when Marc and/or Steven are or feel threatened 🤔, and it looks like he only takes enjoyment in taking the lives of only the worst and that deserve it, like Khonshu said, and he only chooses an Avatar who has a strong moral conscience (Marc has this and so does Steven, _especially_ ) and the 2 or so male nurses who he killed at the psych ward (I read somewhere 🤔) were most likely violent abusers to the female nurses, one of which he was calm, gentle and kind towards when getting ready to take Harrow and Ammit to their respective demises 🤔. And he seemed to have especially enjoyed taking Harrow's life, saying today was his turn to lose obviously for murdering or attempting (🤔?) to murder Marc (and Steven and himself by proxy) as well as punishment for his numerous other sins 🤔🤷♂️. He seems to not have any desire to harm _any innocents_ , which was also shown when he injured but didn't kill the teenage boy in episode 3 🤔.
What they managed to pull off in 6 episodes, with a new bunch of characters we've never heard of before, is incredible. I never even heard of Moon Knight before and I loved this show. Layla is such a bad-ass, and Steven is just the most likeable character I've ever seen in the MCU.
🥺 thirsty for more... Now switching to a creative mind i did love the visuals and costumes of this ep and cosplayers would be fine tooth combing this for details of costumes and how epic the Cape looks 😍❤
I really hope we get to see more o Moon Knight. I in for anything, a Season 2 or a movie... I need to see Oscar Isaac as Moon Knight again. He's too amazing.
I absolutely loved this finale (it so good that Marc/Steven are acting as one now"meaning their heart as a whole is balanced") Jake is going to be a problem in the future lol
No all from the same pantheon just a wide family of gods so to speak. We finally get JAke!!!!!! Which is funny because we have seen all the seeds planted of him being there. Jake is the true hand of vengeance now and it makes sense because he is the most violent of all the alters. Nice little bow they put on this season. Obviously I Wonder Woman vibes so we waiting on those comparisons. Golden wings are beautiful I love that moon knight is the batman and she is the Wonder Woman that’s dope. In the beginning Marc and Steven are fighting each other now they are helping each other to fight switching from mr knight and moon knight. I wonder if they will have a separate suit for jake. Khonshu did Marc and Steven dirty because he is a manipulator oh yeah I will release you sure…. You got no idea about this other alter you have let me latch onto him. I like that Layla being an avatar sort of protects her. Let’s say jake didn’t exist khonshu still can’t take her after releasing Marc because she is already an avatar to another god.
The 1 show contract was a brilliant move, I think. If we knew he signed on for multiple projects, we'd KNOW he'd survive this show. Besides, I think Oscar wasn't sure if people would like his portrayal and didn't want to get stuck playing a character people hated.
I feel that, as Moon Knight is such an unknown character, this series was approved to sort of gage how the audience would respond to it before a movie is greenlit. I have a slight feeling that before the summer ends, we'll hear a Moon Knight movie announcement.
The way I watched this episode literally outside of the cinema before going into see Doctor Strange, emotions really bouncing back and forth right now 😂 But oh boy, Moon Knight is something else. I hope they do a season 2 but if not I can't wait to see everyone on the big screen in the films!
I guess Steven knows about Jake that's why in the end both Jake and Steven interacted with each other there was no Marc in that interaction I think in second season we'll see a similar tug of war between Steven and Jake just like we had in this season between Marc and Steven
I am glad I watched you guys because you reminded me to just have fun with this and stop just having super high expectations. This show was awesome like sushi--visually stunning, delicious, but I just keep wanting go eat more and more.
i was bout to be disappointed if they not gonna show us Jake, but then Layla made a pact with Taweret! and then she became "Scarab Knight"(i made up this one) and then Marc-Steven could switch back n forth like in the comic!!! they really know what they do with this title 👏👏👏👏👏
"ScarabKnight" is how I reference to Layla x Marc/steven, because she is the 'Scarlet Scarab' and Marc/Steven is 'Moon Knight' and 'Mr.Knight' respectively. 😅
I'm not judging this by episodes... I'm judging the entire series as one. This show could've easily been in theaters and would've done well. Phenomenal acting from Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke, Excellent writing and directing as well.🏆
that "WAS" Jake with the new york accent in the hospital office with harrow in the last 2 episodes, also in the jeep in episode 4 talking to Layla, and also fighting with the Alexander Axe just before Harrow shot him!!!!!
Hmmm 🤔 is this finale episode better than last week? Yes. Is it the best one yet? Maybe. Seeing Carla wearing scarlet scabs suit is look bad ass on her especially combat fights with moon knights…bloody hell 👀 would be possible that this is what cause ancient Egyptian civilizations destroyed back in 4,000 yrs ago cuz of ammit the goddess power to become giant god? Cuz u can clearly see giant ammit attempting to destroy the great pyramid or was it’s the great flood? anything it’s possible. I’m pretty positive we will be seeing season 2 of the moon knights by 2024 cuz Loki season series will return til 2023 which would make sense. #MooonKnight 🌙
Imagine if Disney is waiting for a certain day and time at Star Wars Celebration or Investors Day to announce altogether about WandaVision Season 2, The Falcon and Winter Soldier Season 2, Hawkeye Season 2 and Moon Knight Season 2. What if Moon Knight spin-offs eventually get announced? I can almost hear the countdown clock to when someone makes a video of the giant Konshu vs. Ammit fight with the Power Rangers theme song playing.
You saw Jake a lot! You just didn't realize it was Jake, you thought it was Mark. In that village, when he got the scarab back. Driving the cupcake van. When he walked out of that bathroom and looked up at that camera. The time he took that pyramid, and Harrow had him sedated. He definitely defeated Harrow and his minions and Layla saw that. That was Jake.
17:52 What Layla saw, I think, was someone that looks like Marc, dressed in Marc's costume, go absolutely ham on everybody around him. Her vision was at least partially occluded by people firing at her, forcing her to hide behind her wings, so she probably didn't see very much. What little she DID see was made to look as if it were Marc doing it, but with utter brutality. Jake seems to not be concerned with getting recognition; he likes to hide, and he often hides in plain sight. He uses Marc's costume. He bounces in, cleans house, and bounces out.
Disney plus cant fully show the maximum cruelty and bloodthirst of The Jake Lockley in a tv series...because hes the most violent in all of Marc's alters.. We have to wait for MK to see in the moviesss...awesome episode btw
I thought there was an interview where Oscar Isaac mentioned one of the stipulations for contracting with Marvel is that it couldn't be a multi-film or multi-year agreement. He didn't want to be bound to a superhero role for that long. Believe he referred to the contracts of the likes of RDJ, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, etc
I feel like Moon knight will show up in Werewolf By Night in October. After all that was where he first appeared in comics. Also he might show up in Blade as well.
My only production flaw here is that they showed Jake pushing the rolling chair and knocking it to the side while walking towards the back of the limo, presumably to go the driver seat on the other side... Except he's in London and is shown to be in the right seat... So why take the full circle around unless to inspect something :p
Layla's costume has been teased in the past episodes with his dad's scarlet scarf, and her endearment of "my little scarab". Hence her superhero name, Scarlet Scarab. (Genderswitched from the comics)
Just noticed Layla says “what the heck was that”. Not who?? Idk if it makes a difference but maybe Jake looks super crazy or phases in and out the way Khonshu can?
4:35 About roadblocks in Egypt, they are more common in Egypt than the US as they are used to prevent the smuggling of drugs and weapons and combat terrorism as most of Egypt is surrounded by desert and unstable countries, so smugglers and terrorists move across western and southern borders and then use one of the roads as shown in the series. So, roadblocks are more effective than in the US where they use them only in chasing criminals. And, they managed in reducing smuggling and terrorism.
Like every show it leaves with so much questions. What happens at the temple of the gods that Harrow destroyed. Did the other gods survived? What happened to the other gods that was imprisoned? I would love to see a second season.
I got it right back in episode two!!! Why would khanshu tease marc making him think it was Layla he wanted as his avatar, when he has three personalities to work with in one avatar if one other doesn't agree to carry out his justice and vengeance it's perfect
