The Goldfish Problem | Moon Knight Ep 1 Reaction 

Ooooof

Thank you for reacting to this

Yall going to enjoy 😉 this series

Been waiting man hope u love this series

It's not bad so far! Very different for sure, but it's only the premiere and it has a lot of potential! Speaking of super hero shows, i saw you don't have the Boys on your reaction lists so far; is that something we can look forward to or nah?

I thought it was pretty obvious

Actually didn't think about this thanks

This is also probably the reason he switched from Marc to Steven. The blow to his head fucked up the borders between his alternate personas, and now they're fluctuating rapidly.

@@peytonalexander5300 thats a reach

@@jakekayden4061 A show about a guy that becomes immortal because of a gift from an Egyptian God that turns him into a vigilante superhero and THAT'S the reach?

Did you cry along with him?

Yes he is

The fact he doesn't even know what to say since he's a vegan & never had streak but is still ordering because he's that depressed is some heavy shit & Oscar nailed it.

The way he said “no”😔

@@zachataxxii7126 now that’s when you know it hurts😭

That and the restaurant scene. Really sad loosing time and slowly your mind

That shit was funny😂

It was an amazing display of physical comedy. Isaac is just killing it so far. The comedy and heartfelt tragedy is amazing in this show.

i never thought about that. he made it so convincing i forgot it was acting (if that makes sense)

@@kodykoolrocks sameee. I also keep forgetting that Steven and Marc is just Oscar. He’s incredibly talented

I tend to agree, I think also because Steven was wrestling for control it affected Marc's capability to transform back into Moon Knight, hence why through the whole episode he doesn't transform until the end where he finally talks Steven into stop resisting, something he couldn't do during the whole village ordeal. I also think he was probably transformed before jumping out the window but when he knocked himself out with the landing, his costume vanished as Steven took control, hence why the guard was confused, maybe we will find out in the next episode.

My going theory was that the schism started with Steven trying to stay awake, but I actually quite like this idea, as well Perhaps it could even be some combination thereof

@@dhanine The one who is "awake" is stronger. Steven didn't seem to have any more control at the end than Marc did earlier.

Why wasn't he using his abilities though?

Now we know why poor Marc

He is brutal yes but he ain't anti-hero tho MK literally is the protector of those who travel at night he is a full good guy

Monster after seeing moon knight be like: oh shi it's you, listen im sorry it's just a prank bro

@@jeyaceare9833 Some of the runs on his comic have tried to make him “relevant” by having him be super edgy, specifically the 00s relaunch. They even poke at it a little in the recent run where Marc tries to avoid just being “himself” as opposed to Moon Knight/Mr. Knight because he doesn’t want to face people after that and a recent story in the Avengers where he backed Khonshu over pretty much everyone else.

@@jeyaceare9833 He's definitely an anti-hero. He kills people who've surrendered to him before when most heroes would just arrest them.

@@maddoxioOkay, give me source where MK kills human who surrendered to him (comic issue, panel, etc). All i know that he doesn't have a no-kill rule and that's it.

Thats just Moon Knight for you!

They pulled it off by cutting the action! That’s how they did it! 🤯

Editing and green screen? Not sure what you're looking for here

It's a basic tenet of writing that's also very tempting to ignore: show don't tell. If we were to see the action, the moments where 'mark' is in control, then we'd be being 'told' how disorientating and terrifying being Steven would be. By putting us entirely in his shoes, we're shown exactly what it would be like... and it's HORRIBLE. By the end of the episode we totally sympathise with Steven because we were right there with him, and we're kept excited because arguably Steven's side of things is more exciting: he never has ANY CLUE what's going on. It must have taken a lot of restraint, but you can't argue with the results. Our imaginations can do better with the empty moments than any fight choreographer, and we get perfect characterization right off the bat. 10/10 writing and cinematography honestly, I studied creative writing at Uni and this legit could be used in seminars.

@@MH3Raiser that last sentence explains so much lol. Regardless if that's what the OP was asking I know I appreciate the breakdown

With Dr Fate orchestrating all of it

Basically.

if only this editor work on a movie 😂😂😂 you know something like if they release the new thor movie he has his own but with edit's 😂

Yeah I just have a feeling "Mom" isn't real either.

Yeah, watching it I was pretty sure that Steven is not the original personality. Another thing is that when he calls his mom it doesn't look like she ever says anything or calls him back.

@@yagoldt6195 yeah marc is the original one and their/his? mom is probably dead and marc just doesnt want steven to know

@@yagoldt6195 yeah, marc is the host alter. dude seems like he tries so hard to keep steven away from all the shit happening, even tried to get him a fish with a bad fin but had to just give him one with both fins 😆

@@kami2099 this is my theory, as well. Just a voicemail box attached to a shell identity, and Marc clears the messages every few days to make sure there's always storage available for Steven's next call to mum.

How do people find this stuff out lmao

@@3dsmaster537 Trial and error, I guess 😂 I mean, if you see a random QR code in a show or movie, there has to be something to it.

@@3dsmaster537 they see a QR code and the caveman brain says "ooga booga scan it."

I'm just waiting for the one personality they haven't shown yet

You're a legend for putting this in the comments so us other comic nerds don't have to 😆. I see a lot of people assuming the separate personalities are based in his "powers" and it's honestly kinda irritating 😅

@@BreakerX42 fr where my boy Jake at!?

@@BreakerX42 mr knight

@@aanyamallick7747 u meant marc?

Yesssss

Yes notice the same outfit that's totally what's gonna happen!

ikr, but people said that its because he fell from the castle

We'll get it in ep 3-4 I think

Heck yeah

Yeah, they are already watching young justice so why not

NO… watch flashpoint before jl war

That is not where you should start watching the movies.

I forgot about the Flashpoint movie which is kinda ironic when I think about it

This is interesting! I had no idea they were looking at Shia for the role. I mean Oscar's knocking it out of the park, but damn.. that would've been something to see

@LXIX Ive seen TF2 and I can tell Shia has range. Its just up to the writters and directors on how they gonna handle his talent.

I think the problem with that is it will give Steven some form of trauma and will give birth to another new personality. Dissasociative personality disorder exhibits when a person experience trauma. They want to cope up with that trauma yet run away to that problem at the same time so they create another personality. With that being said, it might create a terrible cycle of endless personality making when Khonshu tells them that. Marc probably made some mistake or have some brain injury that made Steven aware of Khonsu, Marc, and every fiasco that occurs.

@@jankyyard5610 **Dissociative Identity Disorder* (The previous name was "Multiple Personality Disorder", so I can understand them getting mashed together in your head) Also, your description of how new alters are formed is inaccurate at best and... borderline incoherent at the peak of it? You've made it sound like the birth of new alters is a conscious decision, which - to clarify for anyone else who reads - it's not.¹ - The - I guess, for lack of a better word, 'motive' - that you've given for it is wildly inaccurate, too, and, tbh, doesn't make much sense grammatically, either. It could be as simple as a missing letter, a bad autocorrection, accidentally switching out one single word for a similar, but incorrect word, but I can't fully parse what you're even saying in your second sentence. Listen, if there's been any misunderstandings on my side and it's all just in the wording, then feel free to tell me what you were actually trying to say. But as it stands, aside from whatever is comic book-specific - which isn't really relevant to the heart of the matter, and I have no background to be able to comment on it anyway - you're (intentionally or unintentionally, but I would assume the latter) spreading misinformation about an already poorly-understood condition, which, while it would be on a fairly small scale since we're just commenters in a RU-vid thread, can *still* cause real-world harm for any time someone acts on an inaccurate or incorrect description they got from your comment. It sucks, but I've seen how it can happen on a bigger scale with big RU-vidrs, and we all know there's no way in hell someone like me is getting _their_ attention. But the more everyday people who know the truth the better, too - people seem to forget that. Or just not care, I guess. Sorry if I got rambly or sounded aggressive. Rough day. Tired. Just want to set the record straight without starting a fight. Hope you're having a good one. Take care. *¹* (Speaking strictly-IRL, no comic world. There are a handful of very specific instances in which this statement *can* be *true,* but that depends on _many_ factors, including *who you ask* - some people in the DID community do not believe that "self-made alters" and/or "tulpas" are "true" members of a "legitimate" system. This is something that seems to be still controversial/in the midst of being discussed on a wider scale, so these instances, for the sake of this comment alone, will remain uncounted until I see that a wider consensus seems to have been reached.)

I agree, but the high watermark is still season 1 of Daredevil. Seriously, that's a hard one to meet, much less beat.

@@AlbertaGeek I think Legend just meant shows actually made by Marvel Studios [Feige and Co] but you right. Daredevil is still gonna be the baseline, no matter how much Feige would love to pretend it don't exist.

@@AlbertaGeek Everyone says this but I hated season 1 of Daredevil. Very slow starting, very weak overall IMO. Best of the defenders series but that bar is seriously low.

I'm having a hard time getting pulled into the series, I'm finding myself not finishing a full episode in one sitting; I'm watching them in parts. I'm trying to like the show, but I'm not getting immersed like with the previous Disney+ Marvel series. Oscar Isaac is superb, but I was really expecting a darker tone to this series, as it was hinted in the trailers. To be honest, the music/soundtrack makes the show sound "comedic"--I mean, I understand the lyrics to George Michael's "Wake Me Up" obviously make sense with the "waking up" part of the show, but it killed the mood of the chase scene and made it look like a Benny Hill skit (not to mention the cupcake truck). It's a 6-episode run, but I think there is too much build up with very little payoff by episode 3 (currently). I do hope they turn it up for the remaining half of the series.

Oooo so like mr Kim in south park?

Didn't Iron Fist portray "Walker" as having the same personality disorder (in season 2)?

It hits even harder when you realise he's vegan so he literally knows nothing about steak and he just went with it cus he was mad traumatized with losing his date

Also going back to meat - especially fucking _red meat_ - after YEARS of veganism would be HELL on your bowels. Maybe it's a good thing that waiter got him his steak well-done. I don't think his stomach would really be able to process anything rarer than medium-well depending on how long it's been for him. So, it's also almost like self-harm, in a way. I'm not making this comparison lightly, btw - mother's an obligate vegan, and the whole famn damily has a history of not-so-great digestive systems; and I've known people who self-harmed with food due to eating disorders, trauma, or both. It's definitely a thing. And when you're mentally ill and at your lowest point, it's not that unreasomable to think you might do something to hurt yourself, even if it's passive...? (Kinda like when you have suicidal ideation but instead of actively planning anything or going out and hurting yourself, you just stop caring about your safety and well-being instead and just throw caution to the wind. "Oh, that car almost hit me because I crossed the road when I did? Huh. Too bad it didn't." That kind of thing.)

yessss best DC series in live action

i think that marc is moon knight, like how johnny blaze is the ghost rider, he signed a contract with khonshu in the same way, atleast i hope so so theres a chance ghost rider will be in this

As i recall steven grant ain't british and he is rich as fuck not a gift shop employee so maybe not that accurate but it's a really great show so far

@@jeyaceare9833 Yeah I can tell there gonna change up a lot of stuff but it’s executed pretty good so far

@@jeyaceare9833 it’s probably cause he resembles Batman too much
