Moon Knight’s fourth episode blew the show wide open with a cryptic ending that threw Marc into an asylum. Now while it’s possible that the whole show has always been in his head, we think it’s more likely that Marc Spector-in his death throes-is facing a challenge in his mind. The asylum is a projection of his inner turmoil, and everything within the dream is symbolic for his struggles in the show. In this video we break down what exactly is happening in Marc’s mind, and how he can escape and defeat Ammit once and for all.

#MoonKnight #EndingExplained
What if this whole ending - the psychiatric hospital, everyone else that’s there - what if all of that is all in Marc’s head? Like some kind of an Inception dream or coma hallucination?
If it’s all in Marc’s mind, then why is he manifesting this institution while he hangs in between life and death?
Is this delusion part of Marc’s dissociative identity disorder? Or is there something far more sinister going on here? Well, there is soo much to unpack about episode 4's ending, so let’s try to solve this puzzle.
Everything that happens after Marc is shot feels like a Twilight Zone episode. It’s like that coma dream Tony has in the Sopranos.
The mental hospital, the patients, Steven - all of it must be part of some subconscious hallucination. None of this is real, it’s all happening only in Marc’s head.
The biggest clue that all of this is taking place in Marc’s head is Steven. The two personalities share the same body, the only way the two of them can converse in the real world is through reflections. And that is only possible because of their DID. When Steven sees Marc in mirrors, he’s not really there, it’s a projection of his mind.
In the comics, the only times Marc never occupies the same physical space as his alters-he only meets them in his mind. So unless the show takes a drastic turn with Moon Knight, all of this is happening in Marc’s mind. But that doesn’t mean it’s not real. After all, perception is reality.
Marc is in a state between life and death. In the real world, Marc is lying in a pool, dying from two gunshot wounds. But his consciousness has been sent into a coma.
So why is Marc’s mind projecting this crazy death dream reality? Why send himself into a mental institution? Why is Layla and all everyone else there too? Why would his mind convince himself that everything he has experienced was a fabrication, created by his mental illness?
Our minds protect us from severe traumas. Marc’s life is filled with psychic anguish.
He’s suffered from dissociative identity disorder for years, maybe since childhood.
His condition has been deteriorating from the first episode. The barriers between his personalities crumbled. Marc and Steven were supposed to occupy the body in seperate times, but now they share it simultaneously. Steven was never meant to be aware of Marc, and now that he knows, they are constantly fighting for control over the body.
Not to mention the whole Khonshu business. Marc is the avatar of a god, he fights monsters. And he must save the world from a cult worshiping a goddess.
And then Marc had to face Layla, and tell her the truth about his role in her father’s death, understanding that things will never be the same between them. And after he was so sure he succeeded in stopping Ammit, he gets shot, falling to his death.
There is also the physical reaction of being shot. Of course there is immense pain when two bullets pierce your chest, but in Marc’s case, being shot is tied to a psychological trauma. When Marc confesses to Layla about his role in her father’s death, he reveals that his partner shot him. He would have died if not for khonsu. That’s where his life took an extreme turning point.
Marc must be suffering from PTSD, those memories are a poder cag, vibrating with intense mental strain.
Being forced to relive those traumatic memories, and then being shot - it's too much.
When Marc falls to his death, he experiences both the physical trauma of being shot, and at the same time plunging back into the traumas that led to him becoming Moon Knight, the gunshot wounds that festered into mental scares that drove him to a nervous breakdown.
That’s an immense stress for anyone to deal with. So much anxiety is extremely unhealthy for Marc, who is already suffering from a crippling mental disorder. A complete mental breakdown was inevitable, and that’s what’s happening in episode 4.

Steven could not be judged by Harrow because there were so many identities inside of him some of which we have not met. Each one needs to be integrated or they must accept each other to be judged. Since he is on a SHIP being taken to be judged he must come to terms with each of his personalities before that can happen. The other two persona's were locked up so Mark could be treated first "main personality" before moving on to incorporate the others which failed and Taweret had to step in.

Also he is out of focus like it was on the pamphlet.

Khonshu did tell Steven "When the gods imprison me, tell Marc to free me". So Marc could have something. I thought he was just going to go back before the Enead to plead the case, but maybe he knows some location or knowledge that can be used to free the gods from stone.

@ruthbennett7563 2 жыл бұрын

I'm still going with it all being real and he's on his journey to the afterlife. The big thing now is finding Khonshu's ushabti so he can be freed. Can Khonshu be freed without interacting with his ushabti in the physical world? Since his ushabti is presumably kept with the other imprisoned gods, if they access Khonshu's ushabti, what if they free all of the other gods at the same time?

He won’t die lol. There’s literally scenes and photos of Marc as moon knight we haven’t seen yet in the episodes (promos). Like a new footage I mean. So that means all of this is probably in his mind and a journey to revival not the afterlife. Layla is also 100% will try to save him and as we see in the scenes that we didn’t saw yet from the next episodes (from the promos), there’s a scene that Arthur and Marc as moon knight fighting, and Khonsu is standing right next to him before that so he gets freed too.. I think maybe taweret will take a big part in this too, you got what I mean, Bottom line; Marc will be saved somehow

@yousephkarouni9540 2 жыл бұрын

That makes a lot of sense honestly. If Ammits powers can’t judge them through the one body then it stands to reason that in the Egyptian pantheon the alters are separate souls that need to be judged separately. Steven remembers and knows of all of the Ennead; Marc, while violent, has some semblance of a moral compass and knows of the pantheon realistically because of his connection with Khonshu, we don’t know enough about Jake, but based on how he’s being portrayed he seems to be much much worse.

Exactly 💯. It may be The Overvoid or Dust The Underworld of Egyptian mythology but then again drowning underwater after getting shot twice. Ethan Hawk as Harrow doing the Carl Jung impersonation about Carl Jung's quote about Heaven being rooted in Hell was awesome 😎👊. I love this content and breakdowns for this episode. Great writing with the Egyptian Underworld/ the mental hospital in his head after getting shot and the Hippo goddess Tarawet got me thinking about Jada Pinkett Smith as Gloria 😂. It's sad that Gaspar Bullied died during the skiing accident it's sad when anyone especially working behind the scenes. 57TH COMMENT I'M EARLY ASFLIP AGAIN 👊❤️. MOON KNIGHT IS BEST MCU SHOW OUTSIDE OF DAREDEVIL 👊. Jake Lockley might be a third personality for Konshu's Avatar that'd be DOPE. Konshu's a Jaded elder god but not a villain especially since he cares about human life and Justice just on a different realm of perspective then we do. I wonder if Steven would be a repressed personality that Marc has made to cope with losing Layla that's why Steven has so many similarities with her interest and knowledge. I really enjoyed this 4tg episode of Moon Knight it was great seeing the dynamic between Steve and Marc's relationship with Layla as personalities but they both can agree to disagree while Steve is still horrified by Marc's violent actions in seeing that Justice is done. Konshu, Steven and Marc clearly sees through the Amitt Egyptian cult BS when the other gods can't 💯 😂. The first, second, third and fourth episodes of Moon Knight were great as I expected and I can't wait until DR STRANGE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS AND THOR LOVE AND THUNDER IS GOING TO BE EPIC ⛈️⚡ 😎. I've always wanted to see a horror mental illness martial arts movie or show about how Konshu turns Marc Spector into BADASS MOON KNIGHT I knew this would be DOPE 😎👊. It's cool to see Oscar Isaac getting a second chance to shine in a Disney film because he was wasted in The Sequel Trilogy of Star Wars but he pulls off the British accent so well I can't distinguish it from his real voice and he really KILLED IT WITH THAT MULTIPLE PERSONALITY THING. Seeing Dr Strange teaching Wanda to control her Scarlet Witch magical abilities and facing cosmic Multiversal level threats is awesome 😎. This has nothing to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't. I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict. Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers. Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of but not macro or micro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word. Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.

If there is some kind of key to unleashing Ammit locked in Marc’s mind, it would put some extra weight behind Khonsu telling Steven to have Marc free him after he was imprisoned in stone. He knew the secret was already in Marc’s brain because he put it there

@greencat1849 2 жыл бұрын

I think you hit it about straight on with your first theory...only thing I want to add is that he is most likely on that boat we saw in trailer (maybe reason lights swayed). Also, Taweret runs a mental institution in Egyptian Mythology and many interpretations of Egyptian Mythology, so it could be her trying to save Mark since she does not like Ammit's judgement either

@thrivesuffer4787 2 жыл бұрын

How come Harrow was allowed back in the temple when they imprisoned Konshu? Only reason I could see is if other gods were on Ammits side and were against Mark at the judgement all along.

I'm bingeing your playlist for Moon Knight and I have to say I appreciate the logical and common sense angles you employ. Your theories are similar to what I had in mind as well. Although you of course cover multiple angles for either eventuality. Anyway great job Ryan

@syedshahar 4 ай бұрын

I also believe Arthur Harrow has the ability to peer into someone's mind. Either by magic or telepathy etc is besides the point. I too believe Arthur is orchestrating his avatar self in Marc's hallucination dream and privy to Marc's memories. The point I'm getting to is another reason I believe Arthur may want to keep Marc alive is that so Khonshu just doesn't find another avatar like Layla, if Marc dies. As you pointed out, if Arthur can control and manipulate Marc, in extension, Moon Knight and Khonshu, then he can nullify that threat.

A little of column A, a little of column B. I think Marc's mind in it's dying throws is trying to make sense of things and one, if not several, of the gods reached out to maybe find some small remnant of Moon knight inside him that might heal him without Konshu.

@quitethehatter 2 жыл бұрын

Just a note! Alters don't die, they "integrate" with the rest of the system instead of being a separate identity. It's a way of healing or accepting a trauma and breaking down barriers between the alters. Also, the "main person" in the body is called a host! So if Mark was born as Markb in the body, he's the host. Steven and Jake would be the alters. If they "fight off" Jake, that would likely be Steven and Mark trying to accept that they have a murderous alter in the System, and they'll have to integrate him. If the Mark alter integrates with Jake or Steven, they might take on one of those names or take on a new one and become the new host. - Mental Health Ambassador

Well he (Steven alter) makes the comment in Ep 2 about turning himself in and hoping that "And hopefully, NHS will fill me with enough pills so that you get out of my head!" Which is literally what happens...he imagines a state (or whatever it would be in England) run hospital giving him pills and therapy, and the result is Marc and Steven are not in each other's "heads" per se, they can meet. So its absolutely a metaphor but I'm in the purgatory trial to overcome Ammit's power of Harrow, etc. Loving this show and love ScreenCrush!

I agree with you It wasn't mentioned directly but there was a scene with a bus or truck that has GCC or GCG, I'm not sure but it was the organization responsible for helping refugees in winter solider and falcon, Wether it's all in his head or it's in real life, I would say that Marc/Steven doesn't really bother , maybe it didn't affect him directly + he only have a handful of people that he cares about and they weren't affected either, Or maybe the events take place after sometime that the blib isn't recent and people has moved on so they don't need to mention it, I don't really know~~

My take is that when Marc sinks into the water his bullet holes are gone what if this is his body actually dying, remember when the little girl brought up the field of reeds what if he has been dying throughout the show and if this mental asylum is a sort of purgatory or a depiction of heaven that would explain Tawaret for her ushabti is seen in the credits meaning that she has been imprisoned in stone, or better yet dead.

It's safe to say that Mark's mind and body are at their weakest right now, it would make sense that Harrow would use that to his advantage and either plunder Mark's brain for information or use it like a bath toy, if not both. Khonshu's off the table (for now), so Marc can't be brought back by him and Marc can't 'summon the suit'. That means that someone else has to step in if he's going to beat Harrow and/Ammit. I honestly won't be surprised if Steven finally accepts his existence as a fabrication and sacrifices himself to keep Marc's mind from breaking further.
