What do you think of Moon Knight so far?

Moon Knight feels like the super hero show for people who are tired of super hero shows. It puts the hero work on the back burner to explore the struggles of the person behind the mask and their interpersonal struggles.

the fact that people are saying they are heartbroken that a fictional person died, let alone just one of his personalities, impacted them is crazy. The show succeeded in every aspect possible.

They aren't just "chasing Egyptian stuff", they're trying to stop Harrow from finding Ammit's tomb and unleashing her on the world. I really don't get what Matt is complaining about.

Disagree with the “the show is about moon knight chasing stuff” take. Seems way more about a character study himself than another super hero slam down. I appreciate marvel for trying something a little different.

For someone who has NEVER heard about moon knight I think this show is the BEST introduction to a character. These other shows like “Wanda vision” and “Loki” already have strong lead ins from their movie parts (for those of us who only read some comics, or non at all) I love that it’s not a “super hero” show. If you don’t watch these breakdowns, the show really does unravel like an onion and I LOVE it. The only thing would suck if there isn’t a season 2, bc now I’m invested

"They made the least interesting show you could make out of a very interesting character." is completely underselling how captivating this show has been, and its just the beginning! If you wanted to cram moon knight fight scenes into a two hour movie you'd miss out on so much of the depth and detail we've been experiencing. Oscar Isaac has been a joy to look forward to each week and it still feels like its just the beginning.

Matt has unironically one of the worst takes I've heard, It sounds more like he's read an episode summary and not actually watched it. I feel like character development has been a main focus of the show since episode 1, It seems like Matt wanted Moon knight already fully developed and fighting internally. The Origin happening in episode 5 makes more sense, since not knowing who was the original made for a more personal story, making it more impactful that we find out at the same time as Steven. personally this so far is my 2nd favorite Marvel show, and if they stick the ending it could push to my #1.

This is not just a good marvel series, this is just a good show in general.

It’s not about 1 person, it’s about 3 personalities acted out by 1 man. It’s a very interesting series. I don’t agree that it’s disjointed. I do believe they did the right thing by not giving you all the answers up front.

I can't follow Matt's logic. I can understand he doesn't like the show, but I can't follow his line of argument as for why exactly. Maybe it's because I've never read a Moon Knight comic and he has a specific idea of how he wants it portrayed based on those that he's not good at communicating? I think the show is perfect. I like it even more than WandaVision, despite that being my previous favorite Marvel show by far.

I completely disagree with Matt. Moon Knight has found a way to take the best parts of each of the MK comic and bring them together to tell a cohesive story that is compelling. It is on par with Loki in how it has taken the fantastical and told a human story. I also think this conversation is happening a week too early.

I think you guys may have missed the main point. Stopping Arthur harrow has always been the main plot. WE as an audience have been blessed with much more along the way. It’s always has been a mystery as to why we needed to stop him and what is going on with Marc/Steven. That’s the journey of the show. This is such an original take on a Marvel character with a mental illness & a great exploration of Egyptian Deities. This show is amazing, AS IS

I don't know how else to say this. Matt gave the single worst take I have ever heard on this channel. His criticism was that the plot is just a backdrop for the character development, but also that there's too much plot and not enough character development. The guy seemed totally unprepared for the discussion and so he just vomited up a bunch of words.

I completely disagree with Matt Singer. The show is different from what I thought it was going to be as far as the character Moon Knight is concerned. The show, for me, actually has turned out even better. I do hope that the finale is longer than previous episodes, an hour or a little longer, tie up some loose ends & is up there with Breaking Bad’s finale, my fav finale of all time! Moon Knight is my favorite original series on Disney Plus!

I disagree. This show is not about chasing stuff as you say. It’s about a character, who happens to be a super hero, reconciling egos. I think this take has a narrow view of what super characters should be. The quest is psychospiritual not material.

Never have I ever wished for the unlike button to be back then after listening to Matt complain about why he dislikes this show. Its amazing and does such a good job of showing mark battle through his other personalitys and past trauma. Just sounds like fan boy complaining vs actual criticism.

Moon Knight is hands down my favorite marvel show they’ve released so far, it’s leagues ahead of the other shows for me personally

I think the problem with Moon Knight is it needed more episodes. But it's still my favorite.

I’ve never read the Moon Knight comics, so I didn’t have any expectations coming into this, but I really love this show! Oscar is amazing and I understand what people mean about it seeming disjointed, but I think that was done very intentionally to put us into Mark’s head because that’s how his life feels, out of control and disjointed. He isn’t sure what his reality is and we aren’t sure what to believe either.

Oh my GOD is this show great. I get that some people are not getting what they either expected or wanted. But it's 100% UNFAIR to judge a show based on what it ISN'T. You have to look at what it is, and what it is is a character study, and exploration of mental illness. It's set in the guise of a superhero story, but it's not a superhero story. It's not intended to be a superhero story. I HATE people who, acting as a reviewer is actually reviewing what they wanted something to be but wasn't instead of reviewing what something is supposed to be and whether or not it succeeded at being that. That is someone not having a clue what the job of a reviewer is. You don't like it, that's fine. But don't judge it for what it isn't. If you want a show to be a different show, make the show you want. Make it in your mind. But don't judge something for not being that show that you had in your mind. Because nothing can ever match your imagination.

I think everything about the show is perfect honestly. Not ever hero story has to be action packed. The way the series starts off with Steven is great because as everything progresses. You’re just as confused and unsure of what’s going on as Steven is. I’m okay with them trying to obtain the quest items but failing and getting shot. It’s a reality shown differently. I can’t praise this show anymore. It’s a broken psyche and portrayed as that.

Not even having the 6th episode out yet, I'm saying this is hands down the best show on Disney+ for me. Not knocking Loki, or WandaVision, or Hawkeye, but they had an easy job to do by comparison and still barely kept it afloat. This is a WHOLE NEW CHARACTER to the MCU, and is given the same timeframe to introduce him. So instead of trying to fill that space with mindless action trying to capture your eye with shiney and fast moving things, they've decided to bring you closer to what Moon Knight is other than a man in a suit beating up baddies.

I’m so burnt out of the super hero genre that I’ll take Oscar Isaac talking to himself for 45 min every week over any of the other shows. Moon Knight: 10/10. Oscar Isaac’s performance: 20/10. I forget it’s one actor. Can’t wait for the season finale.

"The stuff he's chasing doesn't even matter"...huh? He's trying to beat the villain to the stuff that will release Amit (or however you spell it). And as he's on the ship he realizes Amit has been released. I think it's been a brilliant origin story with a story outside of the origin tied in. We start being just as confused as Stephen when he finds out who mark is, and we see them race to beat the villain to the prizes, then in this episode AFTER HE DIES, we see a "lookback" through his origin story and I bet the conflict will be resolved in the final episode as we watch it knowing the origin story. As far as "lack of character development" that is also an INSANE argument. Mark and Stephen's relationship and individual growth has been ridiculously good and very cool.

I feel the show is about Marc's journey more so than anything else. Not caring about the plot but the character devolpment is fascinating to say the least. I'm curious to see where Marc's future leads, this show is just our introduction to the character as a whole with lore building. Hope everyone's finding something to enjoy about it. Edit: I do wish we had more Moon Knight himself. Like him actually protecting the travelers of the night.

Personally I love moon night and Oscar Isaac. As well as the different cultures and the showing of the struggles of mental health. It all blends together to make a good series

“The guy chasing” stuff has DID, all he will ever do, is chase stuff to his alters... alters that have different lives, motivations, problems; one’s a about the super life, the other is mundane; completely disagree on this opinion. Show is great. Amazing. And yes Oscar Isaac is fantastic. Just feels like an opinion to be controversial, lol. One thing though, we could see more of Harrow’s motivations, apart from judging people before they do something wrong. His history, something twisted, that put him into this crusade.

This show is the best show I have ever watched. Hands down. not only stellar acting and a great story but it really challenges the usual paths a story takes in MCU entries. I cannot wait for the finale, I am so excited to see what they do with the character and I am praying for a season 2. Sorry but this show is my top show now and it can't be beat.

I have been absolutely in LOVE with Moon Knight. Oscar Isaacs’s performance is phenomenal. My only critique is that I think they should have (and could have easily) filled 10+ episodes to not rush the plot. It comes right after Wandavision for me.

i feel like mr singer’s point is missing the key point that this show is *relatively* (mostly compared to previous attempts in cinema) accurate to an experience of DID. I feel that the disjointed nature and latency of backstory in this show is very accurate to the mental blocks and memory gaps that are present in DID, I feel some more education on the disorder that has informed the show rather than the comic book side of things is necessary for a valid and informed critique on this show.

I really enjoy that this isn’t just moon knight running rooftops and bearing people up (atleast not yet). Obviously that’s where it will go eventually. This is a story about Marc and his development. Nobody is really that invested in what happens with Harrow they want to see what happens with Marc. I think that’s the point. We establish this relationship with Marc and Steven so that once he’s full out moon knight we’re more invested in him as the hero.

I love this series so much that it made me loose hype on other upcoming mcu films and shows. I am more excited if they make a second season or moonknight apperance on future films

The show is astoundingly good. I cannot stop gushing about it to anyone else that watches it... and they gush right back

I love moon knight so far, it might not have a lot of him kicking ass but every time he suits up is just a blast. And Oscar Issac is KILLING it with his acting

When Marc said he accepted Kohnshu's offer because it was a way for him to keep being what he's always been...a killer. It wasn't because he was a mercenary but because he felt directly responsible for his brother's death. The moment his mother blamed him for his brother dying he felt him life served no more purpose because he was a killer.

A quick scan of the comments seems to indicate Matt is definitely in the very small minority of people who disliked the show. My only complaint was that right as I got into each episode it was about to end. Left me wishing that the episodes were longer.

I mean they can’t delve into all of Marc’s DID faces since the secret is the journey. None of us would be so heartbroken about losing Steven if we had all of of the information beforehand. We picked up the story WITH Steven- we were on this journey with him as well.

Did they mention Konshu? A lot of the plot and “slow parts” were really focused on Konshu’s history and motives, as well as the dynamic between Marc, Steven and Konshu. For example, the scarab chase scene is pretty unnecessary, however it exemplifies Konshu’s oppressive control over Marc, versus Marc’s repressive control of Steven. Shows how Marc is burning the candle at both ends, performing traumatic tasks for Konshu, while trying desperately to hide the trauma from Steven. Exploring Konshu’s character also sets up later heroes/gods without having to explicitly explain what’s going on. I think they handled this complicated dynamic pretty well in five episodes, given that we have never really seen anything like this in the MCU, or anywhere for that matter.

I’m actually really surprised most people didn’t really enjoy the story of this show! I absolutely loved this show and enjoyed it from the start to episode 5!

Nah, in my honest opinion I think that holding the origin until the end of the show was a good move. It might not be for people waiting to binge it but for us it keeps the mystery alive when the weeks pass by. Plus if this was in the first episode you wouldn't have the connected to the characters therefore making it not even that sad. But since we are in the end we have a connection with the characters and finally seeing who Marc becomes and how he made Steven (And Jake?) is heartbreaking. It also makes the twist for newcomers that Steven wasn't real actually shocking. I do agree with you, sometimes the episodes can get somewhat repetitive, but I don't think it is disjointed at all whatsoever

these critics are bashing how steve's plot story is unimportant and that the show does not emphasize much about the character moonknight. the problem with your views is that, you miss the point that MK is a troubled character and is going thru stuff in his head. He is conflicted confused and vunerable becuase of his DID. that is why the show focused more on his struggle than actually being a hero. MK which is Marc is just a part of his personality, he has 3 or more. You completely forget and ignore his DID which is what makes MK, MK. He is not superman where he is sure of himself, comes to save the world and everything is a walk in the park. MK is a troubled hero, he is not black and white. But you complain as if u want MK to be black and white and should not have struggle of DID. We love how they approached MK's story in the show, best disney show by far with marvel. Its action packed, vulnerable, funny, dark, etc. But you totally just want him as a plain hero with no issues lmao. thats sad. they are putting a human and a person in the character MK yet you do not appreciate it. You just want a plain superhero who kills bad guys plain and simple

I love the show personally. I love how the vibe is different from the classic superhero shows. Different enough that you could remove the Marvel brand from it. It's not deep into flashy superpowers and battles; it focuses on one main character and its "real" side instead of the superhero. I don't miss Moon knight in episode 5, and I wouldn't mind if Mark doesn't get his abilities back

The McMuffin chasing was necessary. Steven discovers himself while he discovers the clues. I love it. The only change I would have done is to add more episodes.

Matt is so hard to please. Everything in the show has culminated to this episode with moon knight sprinkled throughout. Just because there isn't one single mcguffin doesn't mean the story is suffering from it. It's more about the unearthing of a buried past mirroring the Marks psyche.

Sounds like Matt had it in his head what this story should be and that because it didn't happen that way he doesn't like it. He let his expectations ruin the actual experience. He's not necessarily wrong about anything, but that doesn't mean the show isn't well done. It means he doesn't like it because he didn't get what he wanted and to me that's not a valid criticism of the show overall.

The plot is serving the characters in that I reeeeally care about them. So even though the plot is not Marvel’s best, I have never been more excited for the next episode of anything.

This is how Marvel show can be made! No overused action scenes all the time but fully emotion story with really fantastic background

Oscar Isaac Performance is absolutely amazing! I disagree with the plot being disjointed I think this show is a character study(a character with several distinct personalities) more then a origin story of a superhero. This series has been captivating, and thrilling. The one thing negative I would says is that’s I wish it was TV-MA Moon knight is a brutal character like the punisher at times even worse

I think the difference between Matt and Rachel here is one is a fan of the Moon Knight comics and had preconceived ideas about the character and series whilst Rachel is coming into it new and is appreciating the introduction to a very complicated character/set of characters. Personally, I knew Moon Knight a little through his appearance in the Ultimate Spider-Man comics but I do really appreciate what they are doing here. Also, I'm watching it with my wife who knew nothing of the character (she's also a doctor) and she loves the series and the relationship between Marc and Steven.

Sounds to me like Matt's real problem is with serialized storytelling, in general. "Monster of the week" would've *ruined* Moon Knight.

I watched episodes 1-4 by myself. Then just finished watching episodes 1-5 with my wife. So far I'm going with one of their best so far. I still say Loki is #1.

I love how this series reframed superhero origin story and superhero show itself. It didn’t heavily relied on big action sequence, complex story arc, and huge CGI fx. Moon Knight lets us dive deeper into a superhero’s psyche. It’s so refreshing to see a story of guy suffering from mental illness who happened to be a superhero. It delivers a great message that we can help others while being broken and it’s so inspiring. Moon Knight has this heart and compassion in storytelling that other MCU shows failed to offer because some are after the gimmick or commercial viability

I feel like Ryan is the only one that can articulate well what he likes and dislikes about the show and why. Matt, especially, spent a lot of time talking but I still don't know what disapointed him. He said maybe he was expecting something else, but he never said what he was expecting. From what I understand, after watching Ryan's videos on the series, it's a pretty good adaptation of the source material, so I wish Matt had sorted his thoughts out a bit more before recording this.

I think the entire show is the origin story of Moon Knight. Feels like since Marvel knows MCU fans (those who don't read the comics like myself) don't know much about the character they decided to take the time to make us invested in the character. Every other show so far has been with characters who we've seen in 4+ movies so far. So we already liked the stars of the show. Here they needed to make us like Marc/Steven and get invested in his story going forward.

I just love how unconventional script & story telling this show has, I feel like as a critic you guys are going really hard on it, I mean you guys should appreciate it for not being so generic, why do you guys want to run every show in a similar pattern, it's good not to get every info in first few episodes it's just makes it boring if you get all the answers in first few episodes, I love how unpredictable this show is; I don't know why Matt wants every superhero to have that typical action, he should understand it's about a person who has DID to be a superhero not the other way around, he really needs to step up his taste in movies & allow directors to show from different pov & try different things.

Oscar Isaac is, currently, the best actor in the world. The reason I say this is, when Steven fell from the boat and turned into a statue I was like "Oh, I guess we won't be seeing Oscar Isaac anymore" and then seconds later I was like "Wait...". So yeah, he made Mark and Steven seem like two completely different people.

I loved Loki and Wandavision but this is by far my favorite . They got us to deeply care about this brand new character in just 3 episodes . That’s powerful . We have plenty of superhero movies where they’re just beating up bad guys. I’m glad this went slow . Wouldn’t have had it any other way .

I think Matt wanted more "Moon Knight hero action" and less Mark/Stephan. From his lens I guess he is right but the rest of the show seems like a big win for people interested in the vulnerable human element of being a hero with a disability.

Oh wow this is the first screencrush vid i could not get through. Like many others have commented, the disjointedness and hidden information in the show is an accurate depiction of what it's like to live with extreme trauma. I have been totally blown away by the accuracy and intensity of the therapeutic elements in the show too. I was so excited to see an authorative part of Mark (Steven) comfort and validate another part of Mark that was burdened by shame and self-doubt. I do hope Steven comes back because i LOVE him, but it would also make sense if he doesnt in terms of healing. Long term trauma (compared to a singular traumatic event), especially when experienced in childhood tends to tear the self apart, not just in personality but down to the physical functions of the body. One way to conceptualize healing is the journey of gathering, reconciling, and integrating all these different parts. I thought this might be the reason that steven was frozen in "the sands of time", signifying that the separation of self in childhood has been healed, and Mark has reintegrated Steven into his main personality.

Totally agree on the acting, it is absolutely superb, I'm so tired of people saying that Steven needed to go bc he was annoying and weak, he was beautifully created and yes, I am almost fully convinced that it's two different actors sometimes, but Steven with a V is the heart of the show. I think it is absolute perfection. And no disrespect meant to Mr Singer, but this show is amazing in every way. Maybe I'm biased by my own mental disorder of BPD but this is the ultimate marvel show hands down imo.

One thing Marvel never disappoints on - their casting choices

I think a lot (not all) of the criticism is coming from Moon Knight superfans who came in with preconceived notions of what the show should be. Aside from a few wonky plot stumbles, I think the show has been great. I love that it focuses on the things that distinguish Marc from other street level heroes: DID & Egyptian mythology.

i love love love how marc started off as the badass "superhero" guy who knows what hes doing, but he becomes a lot more developed, and he's such a broken and destroyed man that we sort of forget (or at least I did personally) about his bravado and hes just as much of a vulnerable human as steven. what a fascinating show, incredible character development, incredible acting, and i respectfully have to completely disagree with matt's take, this is one of the best and most interesting takes on moon knight ever.

Moon Knight is definitely my favorite Marvel TV show so far. I really like that we get to see his backstory and struggles with his identity, even his identity with Moon Knight. Marc does NOT want to be Moon Knight, which is why he doesn't see himself as a superhero. He was manipulated by Khonshu into being Moon Knight, while also struggling with DID at the same time. This is why I can't disagree with Matt Singer more. Matt wants to see more of Moon Knight in action, but he doesn't get that in this show Matt doesn't even want that identity to himself and Matt doesn't care about seeing his struggles with DID. Matt also talked about how other superheroes also have "multiple personalities" like Marc, which is simply not true? DID does NOT mean multiple personalities (which is a common misconception), DID describes a person with FRAGMENTED personalities (inability to form one whole personality), so you have to take memory gaps and severe childhood trauma and abuse into account, which other heroes in MCU do not explore. DID is a real clinical cognitive disorder resulting from severe childhood trauma that significantly affects one's everyday life, it is not as simple as "taking on different roles and having different identities in life" like Matt described.

I think Matt needs to go a keep watching DC series haha. Moon Knight has very very good character development IMO. I feel very connected with all the characters, specially Marc and Steven, you can feel their struggles, pain and most important EMPATHY for them. That's a very good character developement. Of course Harrow has the same beat all the time because he's an interpretation in Marc's mind so... how much development of him we need? It's crystal clear at this point

The way Matt feels about this show, is how I feel about the Halo show. Moon Knight is def. greater than Halo. I also think that episode paid off the waiting in finding out more about Marc and Steven's characters. It was worth the wait. I don't like how picky Singer is. The show has been solid and I have looked forward to each to watching each episode.

I didn't know anything about Moon Knight until this show. And from the point of view of a new Marvel fan and a complete Moon Knight novice. I am enjoying this show and how I'm being introduced to the character.

I think Marvel is making the show more for people who are NOT comic nerds (like myself). I’m a psych nurse so the DID and the therapeutic process in Putnam has been so fun, interesting, and… serious. The lighter and more common sibling of DID is called “splitting” or “black and white thinking” (look it up). It’s something that could apply to most of us in that we unfortunately tend to look at things that are two sides of the same coin as opposite ends of the moral spectrum. The other thing I often see is that many comic nerds are slightly autistic and as such tend to be hypercritical if things aren’t how they think they “should” be. Anyway… I’m LOVING MoonKnight.

Moon knight is one of my favorite marvel tv shows to ever come out. Oscar Issac is a phenomenal actor in this show. I dont I have had one problem about this show yet but maybe i will once the finale comes out but who knows.

Oscar Isaac is an amazing actor. Great show!

Another formula is, every shows has supposed to be good character or organization, but turn out to be the kind of antagonist, Wandavision with S.W.O.R.D, Falcon and Winter Soldier with GRC, Loki with TVA, Hawkeye with Kate Bishop's Mom, and Moon Knight with perhaps Egyptian God.

I was a guy who was all in on the TV show LOST. I loved looking up the character names, the icons and symbology, and the various philosophical meanings presented in the dreamlike nightmares of the nuanced performances of the actors. The simple fact that humans can get thoughts from their heads to a script to a production company for actors to then perform for us (in a medium millions can watch at the same time, and then we can further breakdown and comment upon within minutes or hours with our own thoughts for hundreds, thousands, or millions to continue thinking and studying, is indeed great for all of the Marvel franchises.🎉

Best Marvel show so far. I love that these shows allow for these characters to be seen more in depth and to take more risks. Wandavision kinda dissapointed me in the last episode because it fell into the Marvel's classic cgi battles. Loki and Moon Knight, so far, are the ones not depending only in that type of big final cgi scene. The casting is amazing and I love that this show forces you to pay attention to what you are watching. From best to worst tv Marvel show for me: 1. Moon Knight 2. Loki 3. Wandavision 4. Falcon and The Winter Soldier 5. Hawkeye

It's amazing how I knew Matt Singer would knock it, as soon as I heard he was on. 5 minutes into the video and I'm having trouble deciding whether or not I even want to listen to the rest. It genuinely feels like this dude knocks all of the universally loved shows and movies, just to knock them. It's like he looks for anything to criticize. I get you can't shower/blanket every marvel production with love, or it seems disingenuous, but it also seems like disingenuous gatekeeping to always be like, this isn't what I expected, I don't like it. Matt is the type to go to comedy show and think he's funnier than all of the comedians. He has a weird entitlement and it comes off like he believes his vision is the best vision, and anything short of that is disappointing.

Moon Knight has such a rich history. We should have an arc with the full origin with Bushman and Marc. We should have had an arc with Werewolf by Knight. We should have had an arc with the Asylum story. They didn't plan correctly for developing each of these defining arcs. We seem to be dropped in the middle which isn't bad if proper explanation was provided throughout the multiple episodes instead of having most of the defining moments dumped in one episode.

How to say you're a whiny little fanboy without saying you're a whiny little fanboy: Be Matt Singer in this video.

We’re on a legitimate journey with Marc and Steven…can’t we just appreciate the effort and willingness to go a different route with a Marvel/Disney character??? Complain about the big bombastic 3rd act displays, the “Marvel formula”, the supposed repetitiveness…we get one of the most interesting characters in Marvel with a mental disability, doesn’t know if he’s a superhero or just living a fantasy in his head…nope, complain we shall…we demand the tried and true “Marvel formula”! (So to further complain)

Absolutely loving Moon Knight. Top 3 for me.

Interestingly, when Matt says a thing is wrong about the show, I actually thought the show delivered on it…

Loki is top favorite series so far. Wanda was coolest with the TV homages. I like this break reality trip with Moon Knight too, because it gets to main character to question themselves the most through the course of their journeys. Each episode keeps building on that.

I don't know what show the producer was watching but it wasn't Moon Knight. He complained that we didn't see any conflict between the personalities and there was a ton of that. I think he wanted a season 2 where people knew who Moon Knight was when they needed to do more to let people truly understand who Moon Knight was to begin with. Moon Knight is a great character with a rich history so there was a lot to bring into the introduction.

It’s not only Marvel’s best show (not counting Daredevil, that’s Netflix’s), it is one of The Best shows that’s ever been written. Cleverly acted, greatly planned and the plot has an odd pace, which is not what most expect or enjoy but gosh it is fresh.

I like the characters, the story and plot, but the pacing is the main thing holding it back. Episodes 1,2, and 3 are fast paced and episodes 4 and 5 are slow paced. Episode 6 has a lot that needs to happen before the show ends.

The hero's journey never gets old. It's in our dna at this point

Pacing on this is far superior to Falcon, so for me this is top 3 of them all, behind Wanda and Loki

Did the guy in the glass watch a different show or something? What is he talking about? Everything from 1-4 is symbolic. The monster always behind the door. Water symbolism throughout. Sand in episode 1 to Steven's fate. The living statue to Steven's fate. The show blows all others out of the water. BY FAR.

I enjoyed hearing these different perspectives. Do more of these!

I don’t agree with the guy saying “watching it for obligation” I have no idea what else you could expect from a show that has EVERYTHING and has a topic and a kind of hero that had never been depicted before. I mean, this is the BEST series so far that Marvel has done, at the same level of Loki!!!

I don’t understand the point of Matt, is he a fan of anything he claims to be or does he just enjoy saying how everything is just that awful?

I really don’t get the complaint. “In the comics the personalities really conflicted with each other” They…fight all the time One time one personality literally punched another in the face

I have no problem with them "chasing stuff", it gives the characters a goal. I have no problem with pushing the orgin to ep 5, that creates a compelling mystery around Marc/Steven. The villain makes sense and it played great. I don't know what it is, but I feel like there is a small problem with either pacing or the amount of episodes. Like, ep 1 & 2 were great, introducing the characters and setting uo the conflict(s). 3 was kind of boring, but 4 & 5 were absolutely brilliant. I'm giving them the benefit of doubt, but I can't see how they can make a satisfying ending in just one more episode. Feels like a lot has to happen and be resolved. Idk. Anyone feel the same way?

This is not only a really good Marvel series, but a really good series in general. I like the character development and their growth, as well as the world building.

To me this series is what I wanted and continue to want from marvel. I want more character development with a good story, not just good vs evil with a beam in the sky. Moon Knight was a hero I knew nothing about and through this series (so far) he’s become my second favorite hero behind Spider-Man. Love this series hope he comes back in another season or a cameo in a movie or hell a movie of his own.

I love that its more based around the character outside of the suit, like daredevil for example, which dives more into the actual character behind the mask

Being a huge Moon Knight fan I always thought this should have been an 8 episode series. He's way too complicated of a character to try and explain to the average MCU fan in 6 episodes that average 45-50 minutes.

As someone else mentioned, Matt said that maybe he went into it expecting something else. Could he have gathered his thoughts, or brought notes, in order to share something with us? Right now, as someone from the mental illness community, I'm not thrilled with his delivery here.

Having no knowledge or experience with moon knight prior to this show, I really love it despite it being 6 episodes. I really hope there is at least 1 more season. I have enjoyed almost everything about this show, except that there is not much of moon knight or Mr. Knight.

To be honest I disagree with the idea that it was disjointed and that saving the origin until episode 5 was a bad idea. I feel as though this disjointed nature of the show was part of its narrative structure. In a similar way to memento it places the audience in the shoes of the main character, we don’t fully understand why the things that are happing are happing just as Steven didn’t. It allowed for the intrigue to build whilst, simultaneously, the separation between the puzzling and grounded first two episodes and the more Indiana Jones esc third and fourth mirrored the two separate identities. The made the audience feel as though it was separated, yes. But that worked because one of the key thematic points is the separation between the identities. It made us physically feel the disparity between the two. For me, episode 5 was the let down. It could’ve explored this dissociation between mark and Steven better and revealed the origins in a much more intriguing and original way. I felt the reveal that his mothers abuse caused his DID and the clarification that Steven was created by mark wasn’t given the gravitas and severity it deserved. It also felt like very much the right place to reveal Jake as the third identity and not doing so made it feel as though an aspect was missing. Also, the cutting between the harrowing (no pun intended) back story in the asylum and the cgi boat scene and the attempts to build tension with it felt very forced. Cut between one version of the asylum and the more realistic grounded version, fine. Even start on the boat to do that. But it just felt as though the boat was used to build tension when the intrigue built by the first four episodes was enough (wonder vision did this way better by having the threat and unknown veritable being Agatha instead). All this is all presuming that the last episode, in marvel fashion, is a more stereotypical hero vs bad guy ending. If that’s not the case then this whole plot line and origin reveal could’ve been spread over the last two episodes and two distinct settings (the boat and the identities confronting harrow/ammet for example). This would’ve made the reveal and complexity of it so much more interesting and made it an exploratory of grounded real life issues - something marvel tries but struggles to do. Then it would’ve felt far more real and given this antihero a far more comprehensible narrative. It would also allow for a more interesting, authentic, and educational insight into DID for the majority of viewers - and provided proper representation for those who have first hand experience of the disorder without portraying it as a villainous and horror-esc trait as most media does. And this is all to say nothing of the outdated and very janky looking cgi in this episode.

Oh goodness, No. Paused the video to ask if Matt wants CW shows where there’s a new villain every week
