*MOON KNIGHT* is chaotic as hell...and I'm here for it (S1 - pt.1/2) 

Episode 5 😭

If I wasn’t crying from the depression ‘grant’ed to me, I was crying from happiness. Marvel needs to pay for my therapy.

they did the London museum stuff not in London too

You and I remember Budapest very differently

@@PenneySounds You win the internet.

It's apparent that Intelligence is Khonshu's dump stat. ;)

@@steveaustin2686 well, I don't know. The way I interpreted the show, it seems like Khonshu was always in control. Arthur learned about Ammit when he was Khonshu's avatar, and Khonshu also just let him go for unknown reasons, as opposed to Marc where Khonshu seemed to have Marc trapped. Also, the bird bones in episode 5 indicate that Khonshu's been prepping Marc for a long, long time. I think Khonshu essentially pointed Arthur at Ammit as a decades-long gambit, knowing that Ammit could take down the other gods and that he and Jake could then take down Ammit and Arthur. He also pretended to be far weaker than he was: Ammit commented on his mummy-like appearance, saying that "time had not been kind" to him. But Khonshu was still able to grow to Ammit's size, and afterwards, in the end credit scene, he was wearing a suit. I think Khonshu was never actually weakened, and in fact may have been more powerful than Ammit all along but just held back most of his power from Marc until Jake came out. I'd bet he gets power from every sinner his Moon Knight kills, just like Ammit gets power from the souls she eats. Because at the end of the series, he has quite literally everything he wants: the other gods are without avatars, and he's presumably powerful enough to prevent them from getting new ones if he wants, or if he doesn't want to go that route he can probably swing a reversal of his exile, considering he "saved" the mortal world from Ammit. Sure, there was a risk he'd stay imprisoned in stone, but he knew how resourceful Marc, Steven and Layla were and he also knew that Arthur would eventually be going to the Pyramid of Giza to take on the gods, so at SOME point there'd be a perfect opportunity for them to free him. He maybe didn't expect Marc/Steven to die, but then again it's not like that changed anything, and he would have known that they could come back. Khonshu is a trickster god in mythology, and I mean, MAYBE he's just dumb but lucky in the show. Or maybe he's an absolute manipulative genius. Loki eat your heart out.

@@joshorton9061 Eh, I disagree. Growing in size would be a function of his power, not his intelligence. And Jake was out the whole time and was really Khonshu's avatar, with Marc as the front man. Khonshu could be wise, without being smart. I don't think it was all some gambit, but Khonshu muddling through.

@@joshorton9061 Khonshu does like a gamble.

"Bro, ON. MY. MAMA, he lyin'. ONG!!"

Same, hit me so hard. Love that line

That's so true!!!!

@@WheresWaldo05 I certainly hope that yours is the weirdest comment I see today

The was a *severely* overplayed band called Matchbox 20 that has an almost identical lyric in their song "Unwell". Recommend checking them out, mostly written by lead singer who's open about mental health stuff. "I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell, I know that right now, you can't tell..."

One quick Google Earth will show you how close the pyramids are to the city, it's really close actually.

as an egyptian its insanely funny when people dont think the pyramids are that close 💀

oscar isaac is a fantasting actor. Ex Machina, The Card Counter and Drive for example but this show? Not even his acting can salvage it.

@@prometheus705 True!!!

We love Oscar 💜

@@prometheus705 Personally I enjoyed this show from start to finish, it was more interesting at the start but I liked it throughout none the less

Still waiting for Netflix series.

Break his windpipe lmao

Khonshu is a good guy. Technically

(Gorr breathing heavily in the distance)

He does it for the good of others

@@jacobd1984 A L L G O D S W I L L D I E

him just taking the attacks is why taskmaster hates that he copied moon knights fighting style

Protos Yep exactly. I really hope the MCU retcons the “Taskmaster” we got in Black Widow so one day we can get a true Taskmaster Moon Knight interaction

@@rileyribble6733 I think that the real taskmaster used to work for dreykov as his bodyguard but left for some reason, which led Dreykov to copy his ability via chip and used his daughter as the "new" taskmaster

@@rileyribble6733 The person was never named in Black Widow (beyond being the daughter), so they can easily do that.

@@Aster_Valkanen Well they reffered to it as the Taskmaster Program. He could be the inspiration and original. They used cybernetics to try to replicate and replace him after he stopped working for the red room. Easy retcon if they choose to

The idea of vampires not seeing their reflection in a mirror was originally because of the silver backing to them. So they should be able to see their reflection in a modern mirror.

No becuz In the last episode there’s a moment where they like look at eachother and why did I think for a second they were gonna kiss LOL

@@davidbru1 they love each other so much lol

this show landed badly so i don't think so.

@@piotrswat169 it did not but regardless the merit of the show does not reflect the performance put on by Oscar Isaac.

​@@piotrswat169 most people i've seen have loved this show, what r u on about?

Three.

@@neomoscoso10 shhhh

those two are amazing, we love both of them.

Or an Oscar, 😆.

William Dafoe since spider-man 1: Im a joke to you?

Yup...Hawke is awesome in this.

Apparently when Hawke took the role he studied cults and their leaders in order to perform the role accurately.

Spoiler: Not to mention the part where he asks Ammit to judge him and accepts that she should probably kill him, except she allows him to repent for his sins by serving as her Avatar. Harrow is a true believer. He is truly ashamed of the things he did while he was Moonknight and believes he deserves to die and be punished for it.

Which is why I’m starting to hate religion as a whole

@@richardparadox163 And of course Ammit is the biggest hypocrite - it's not about judging people, she just wants to nom nom nom all the living souls.

In the comics it's never the main problem either, it's Marc's absolutely horrendous mental health.

Huh. As a magician, I found it Egyptical.

@@swrennie 🤣🤣

I don’t want to spoil it because it is later on in the series but a scene between Layla and a little girl is just fantastic. You know what I’m talking about.

@@trappedinamerica7740 I see 😉

@@trappedinamerica7740 She uploaded episode 6 to her Patreon 2 days ago. She's seen the entire series.

It's one thing I missed about the Infinity War/Endgame movies. Nobody actually had the guts to tell Thanos his idea was batshit and stupid and wouldn't work. Like...no, Thanos, it doesn't work like that. Nothing works like that. Go back home, cry about it. Oh, wait, you broke your home...

@@snorpenbass4196 TOTALLY. I SO wanted that expanded on

@@snorpenbass4196 he should’ve just made all sentient beings not need food or water

I hope she reads this

@@_ripVanWinkle_ yeah, knowing that it's an irl thing that can happen makes the next few episodes hit a lot harder imo

There can be more than one alter,

People with DID often have many identities ranging from all ages and *occasionally* non- human (correct me if I'm wrong but i feel like this part is pretty rare). The old term was Multiple Personality Disorder but as you said it implies that they shift personalities rather than entire identities. Cool fact, in addition to accents, posture, and memories, an identity could speak a different language or have different medical stats (heart rate, blood pressure, etc)

yeah, but it's still only 1 person, in reality getting treatment isn't equivalent to murder.

Layla was one of the best parts of this show, so I'm glad she got to shine.

Hey hey hehehe

Awake to hear hit hehehe

Jordan is the best. I have some bias because it’s my country but still

Rip 🙏

He made a good Leto I.

A lot of energy put into this project. Hope he doesnt feel exhausted as did with star wars and x-men.

Yea not many people know about moon knight but he is for sure one of the best marvel heroes and great martial artist . But ofc not better than the dark knight himself

@@cecil3602 I like him better than batman because he kills

Same!

@@dustinreinhardt8231 ...

same

F. Murray Abraham was pulling me back to his role as Salieri in "Amadeus" with that line. Specifically, the framing scenes of him at the institution giving the interview.

Fr

Me too!

It's a shame he doesn't really seem to care for Marvel outside of this series and doesn't want to get into a long contract. I get that after the SW fiasco he's probably reluctant to touch Disney again, but I have this weird thing where if I know an actor isn't really into something they're in, it kind of kills my enjoyment a bit.

@@wittyreviewer Why?

​@@morganspider-manmarvelfan6110 Why what?

@@wittyreviewer Nevermind

E

m-me?? o.O XD

although i realize you’ve probably already finished watching the show by now B)

The only issue with her reactions is that she completely misunderstands parts of the show. Like she thinks a god possessing a character is DID, which isn’t true. It just feels like bad faith when she presumes the show wants to portray it badly. I get that artistic portrayals can be hard cuz they sacrifice fact for representation, but in some areas she completely misunderstands

@@ma.2089 She did mention for the finale that she initially thought the Tawaret possession as being painful was bad representation, but then later corrects and realizes it is a better thing because in that case it was fully possession and not attempting to be DID and even showed a difference between Marc/Steven, versus Tawaret. I don't quite remember the other gods as DID parts of her reviews, but I may go back and rewatch.

But go to the DSM-5-TR for more information on DID, rather than a comic...👍

@@swrennie actually the best thing to do would be to find some people who actually live with the condition to talk to about it. The DSM can be useful but especially when it comes to mental health the medical establishment has a LOT of issues and conditions like DID and OSDD get a lot of the brunt of it these days.

yes she finished it this week lol

He also definitely has the magical Egyptian version of DID rather real world DID.

@@cupguin well they did do a lot of research to Ground it in reality. Problem is that they used artistic license to try and get a general understanding of how it feels and therefore would confuse ppl who have no idea what DID is. The mirror thing is entirely a visual part to show how divided they are and allow more interesting shots and expressions. But as we see by the end, they don’t need a mirror. It’s just a way of visual representation, which I’m sure might’ve given ppl the wrong idea.

Exactly

Khonshu: Meet my friend, Jake Lockley

Mines too

Me too!

Me too!

agreed on ALL points. Oscar is a sight to behold. honestly all of them are! Arthur just needs a hairdo that's all.

@@ilikepineappleonpizza4257 true ;)

True but he still is looks good in that dirty evil way.

hahaha true 👀

There’s also something that doesn’t make sense when we consider how they’re judged. Perhaps it is 100% accurate that she can tell who will commit a crime (without room for error). But if she does, does she take into consideration telling someone that they’re good and how that might alter what their future is like? After all, a lot of ppl convinced they were good did horrible things.

I want to see him interact with Spider-Man.

Midnight Suns!

PUNISHER: Hello, Marc! Still crazy? MOON KNIGHT: Little bit. Still murdering people? PUNISHER: Little bit. How's the imaginary god? MOON KNIGHT: He's good. How's the dead family? SPIDER-MAN: Oh shit...

DEAD POOL: (Handing a bag of Popcorn to Spider-man) This is going to be awesome!

@@redtornado1337 WOLVERINE: lights up cigar and makes a bet with banner

I can’t wait to see Ms. Marvel and She Hulk.

the sad part is when I saw the bed, I thought to myself (as a newly graduate) yeh I could live in this

Actually I'd recommend doing that after as tbh knowing how DID works kind of constitutes as a spoiler for episode 5. Its enough to just know DID is a real thing for now and do more research after the show

@@SorchaSublime I dont think it give that big of a spoiler and gives reacting person more accurate descriptions. like for example using "alters" instead of "personalities".

He never stated that he wanted Ammit to forgive him for his sins ever, just that he believes strongly in his cause. He blames Konshu for manipulating and abusing him, which is what he does to Marc as well. He outright says he DOESN’T want a second chance and there are better people out there for Amit too. He might be morally wrong in your opinion but his only moment of hypocrisy is when he kills the homeless man w/o judgment.

@@ma.2089 In the 6th episode Ammit says "Your scales lack balance." He says in response "I had hoped my penance might correct my imbalance, but I see now that is impossible. I accept the scales regardless of the outcome." He basically said he hoped Ammit would forgive and spare him. He might have said he didn't want it, but in reality he did. His blind belief in Ammit, can't allow him to see that he's hypocritical in his claims. Also he does kill the homeless man by judging him.
