Summon the Suit

Moonknight is actually in such a fantastic path to be the best MCU show to date. Nice to see Marc's backstory and his transformation as avatar for Khonshu. Brilliant 2nd episode, can't wait for next week.

This 2nd ep is giving promise that the show will be consistent in quality. The pilot was strong and ep 2 continues from strength to strength.

We see the majority of the ep from Steven's eyes and because of that we feel the frustration when no one believes him which is great and it really pushes that mystery theme of keeping the character and the audience in the dark.

The cinematography picks up with its lighting and use of long tracking shots and I don't think I'll ever get tired of the shots that involve reflections. They add so much to the show and even seeing them talk via reflections with cracks splitting his face up. This ep gives us more character motivations and a bit more depth and the action may be not as many were hoping but it definitely shows what's in store for future eps as it gives us more of a taste but leaves us itching for more giving more of that frustration in a good way.

I'm glad they're still steering clear of connecting to the wider MCU and so far they haven't ruined any tense moment with a cheap joke - a MCU trademark it seems.

The only gripes is that some of the jokes do fall a little flat but not enough to take away from the moment and that British accent, I can get used to the accent as the episode goes on but it's the actual dialogue that doesn't fit with the accent, you can tell a non British person wrote it. The CGI is soft at times which makes me think they're saving the budget for the bigger fights towards the end of the season.

Overall the episode is consistent but a little flatter but seems to be shaping to be one of the better MCU shows.

P.s. I do think they need to make a MCU TV intro for the TV shows.

P. P. S. The suit is definitely a fantastic outfit, if not one of my favourite superhero outfits in live action.

"I eat one steak and I go bonkers" is probably the best line in this series yet. Also this episode really shows how difficult it is for an American to play a Brit.

Apart from Isaac's acting i hated the show in the first episode, i thought the cgii was bad and the time jumps silly but then i decided to give the second episode a chance and wow this one was amazing on its own. Everything worked for me and even tho i don't take Marvel seriously for a while now this was actually very good. The camera work was mind blowing and that end credits carried the quality weight of this episode. Idk if this show will be good or not but this episode will stay good regardless of what happens next. Quality and stylish work!

This episode is weaker than its predecessor with is being very exposition heavy. That being said I still really enjoyed this episode and thought for the most part it was well written and well paced and finally seeing some Moonknight action was fun. Although I haven't read the comics so I can't talk about the mr knight part I enjoyed his action scene too. Sadly one of my biggest gripes with both the episodes is the cgi, from the purple energy coming from the ground to the monster it just looked so cheap and didn't feel real. Konshu at points even looked bad. But the cinematography makes up for it with some amazing shots, but yet again not on the same level as episode 1. One thing that I really loved about this episode was Stevens paranoia and his confusion ,that we saw in episode 1, is still being continued here and it's really interesting to see how Layla was added into the mix. Overall I would say this is a really good episode but has some set backs.
