Re: [Disney+] Moon Knight
and I read the last episode is only 42 minutes. Not sure how they wrap it up in that time frame.

Simple. Oscar wakes up next to Suzanne Pleshette and we find out it was all a dream. 15 minutes, tops.
He won. Period.

Re: [Disney+] Moon Knight
As a huge Moon Knight comics fan, I'm enjoying the series overall - though it's more due to Oscar Isaac than the actual show. I think my familiarity with the comics is hurting me, as I'm just not interested in the hyper-focus on his mental issues and just want to get to the "superhero" part. Of which there is very little in this show.
The "this is reality....WAIT FOOLED YOU! IT'S NOT!......OR IS IT? IT IS! NOPE, GOTCHA! It's NOT! But maybe it IS!" schtick is starting to get REALLY old to me. That's great for a couple of episodes. After five, I'm like OK I get it, he's got some issues. Can we get to Moon Knight fighting someone now?
It's weird because I usually enjoy superhero shows with more depth and less by-the-numbers CGI battles, but in this case I feel like the pendulum swung a bit too far in that direction.

Re: [Disney+] Moon Knight
Not enjoying the series, but that's probably the same reason I never read any of the MK comics for the last 40-ish years. I like Oscar Isaac but just not digging this whole thing. The question I have is how do they integrate this character into the larger MCU without ignoring 95% of this story arc? I mean, that isn't necessary, and doesn't change the value of this series as a whole. Just not my bag, though my daughter is enjoying the Egyptian references a lot.

Re: [Disney+] Moon Knight
I’m worried that they won’t be able to tie all the storylines up. I haven’t seen any announcements, but my guess is we end on a cliffhanger and have a second season announced.

Re: [Disney+] Moon Knight
It does seem like they have set themselves a herculean task to wrap this up considering the pacing they've established so far.

Re: [Disney+] Moon Knight
Near the end of the final episode, when all looks lost, the camera suddenly swings to a quiet, idyllic cabin, in which Wanda Maximoff casually waves her hand, never looking up from her recipe book. Problem solved!

Why wake up to Suzanne Pleshette when you wake up next to Bea Arthur?

Re: [Disney+] Moon Knight
Finished the final episode. Very, surprisingly short. I enjoyed the show and look forward to seeing more. Fairly confused, and Sudy's criticisms are spot on. But, everything about this is so weird and strange to me. (Shrugs) I enjoy it.

I've got my nitpicks about the show, but as a comic book fan, the final wrap-up brought a big smile to my face.

Re: [Disney+] Moon Knight
I really enjoyed this series, and I hope there's more down the road (D+ series, movie, whatever).
The ending definitely went by in a flash, but I suppose it's better than drawing things out. I really loved

Re: [Disney+] Moon Knight
The show overall was very good, but the finale (while it had it's moments) is mostly meh. 95% because it was bizarrely rushed. Honestly feels like they were writing this as if they had nine or ten episodes only to be told after the fifth episode that they only had more.
I hope that there's another season of this.

Re: [Disney+] Moon Knight
I enjoyed it, but I agree with most of the complaints I'm seeing here. It was also weird that they veered so off course from the comics while still adhering to the basic concept of the comics. They leaned WAY more into the Egyptian mythology aspect than I remember the comics ever doing. But it worked (for the most part) and was kind of a refreshing change of pace from the other Marvel shows. Plus, I mean...it's Oscar Isaac.
He won. Period.

Re: [Disney+] Moon Knight
I guess I'm an outlier because I really did not like this show. It was just too much for me. Forcing these "Gods" into the MCU just doesn't work on any level that makes any sense. I thought the writing was poor (even for an MCU show), a lot of the action scenes were poorly directed, the constant back and forth between characters means we hardly ever actually got to see Moonknight in action and as far as I could tell Arthur's main power was that he could walk anywhere really slowly with a cane and no one seemed interested in actually trying to stop him. I mean there's an entire episode where Mark/Steven are looking for Arthur, he then suddenly appears at the same weird party as them and they do exactly jack to try and stop him, instead they start fighting the party guy's lackeys.
FYI I am a huge MCU fan and I would easily rank this below Eternals as my least favorite MCU property. (I haven't seen Miss Marvel yet or Thor L&T, so there's still time for Moonknight to crawl out of last place).

Re: [Disney+] Moon Knight
That made sense because they aren't really gods. They're just aliens with advanced technology and physical traits way beyond that of humans. Now I admit the Comic Book universe has all of these characters and it works, but mostly because they don't really overlap each other that much.

Re: [Disney+] Moon Knight
Marvel has always played fast and loose with the whole "the gods are aliens" stuff. Even the movies do that too. Odin, Zeus and the powerful beings from Moon Knight are all gods for all intents and purposes. Love and Thunder has a room full of gods...including Egyptian ones. So I see no reason not to lump all the gods we saw in Moon Knight in with all the ones we see in the movies.

Re: [Disney+] Moon Knight
Sorry late to the show but Episode 5 really was depressing but kept me glued to the show the entire time. Issac Oscar really pulls off all the emotion and I never once didn't believe what I was watching. Still, made me sad.
