Moon Knight - Disney+ (***Spoilers***)

I think they are just using mirrors as it's easier to show them talk to each other in the real world than just voice in his head. Makes it easier for the audience to see the difference between Stephen and Marc too

My thoughts too - it's like we've been dropped into the middle of the story. I'm sure anyone that has read the source are fine but for anyone else we're trying to work out what the hell is happening. I'm just not grabbed by the story yet

Jude Law was meant to be Australian in that film apparently...

The accent isnt a massive distraction in this any more for me.

Well that was an interesting ending. Can't wait for next episode

I'm a bit split personality myself. On one hand it's great to have an original series standing on it's own two feet, on the other though it's hard to see this as an entry into the MCU. Apart from the main title screen and the odd bus ad, there's no real easter eggs or reminders that we're in a shared universe.

For about 35-40 minutes of that episode I was tethering on boredom, could really have called the entire show 'Archaeology Man' (even though he's almost a side-kick in his own show) for the amount we have seen of Moon Knight.

Those last few minutes swayed back some interest though, but with only 2 episodes left there seems to be a lot to tie up and tell.

its a bit like the Brendan Fraser Mummy movies- a bit silly but enjoyable if you turn your brain off. It doesnt feel like a Marvel property which is a good thing.

Enjoying this but it definetly needed that last 10 minute switch up in the format in order to keep it from getting a bit too deep into being an Indiana Jones knockoff with added personalities. I like that they've sidelined MoonKnight. He's too much of a deus ex machina that could be used to resolve any conflict. They managed to limit his use well enough for the first 3 episodes but they needed to properly take him out of the equation to let Marc and Stephen stay front and center. He is of course going to be back for the final episode so I can wait for the final act action.

RE the ending of ep 4, I'm guessing because he was shot / died in the temple water he's on some astro/god plane which he will have to escape and by doing so will revive in the real world. The Hippo seemed friendly so maybe she'll help.

I watched the available episodes with my kids yesterday, they were disappointed that they have to wait to see the next two episodes. I found it entertaining enough but I'm unsure as to how it will fit together with the MCU or maybe that's the point, they've made the series because they can and people will watch it.

My thoughts on episode 4 is that Marc Spector being shot and presumably killed in the tomb is uncannily like the events of the Moon Knight character's origin story in the comics.

I'm kind of ambivalent about the show overall, even with the ending of Episode 4. It's fine. I enjoy the performances, but there's very little going on. Plus I saw f*ck all of Episode 4 because of how dark it was.

The ending of Episode 4 might efinitely be the thing to tip the show into something interesting, but so far, it's all just... fine.

From IMDB

May Calamawy (born October 28, 1986) is a Bahraini born, Egyptian-Palestinian actress. She completed her undergrad in Acting at Emerson College and continued her studies at William Esper. She is known for the Hulu series Ramy, Marvel's Moon Knight for Disney+, National Geographic's The Long Road Home, CBS' FBI and Madame Secretary, and NBC's The Brave.

There is a clearly Irish actor there though, the bearded "cop" who is one of Harrow's goons. IMDB tells me that David Ganly played Ben Dunne in RTÉs Charlie Haughy drama a few years ago.
