Asylum

Oscar Isaac gave an Oscar worthy performance, if this was a movie... I don't consider an Emmy as a worthy award like an Oscar.

Roller coaster of emotions in this episode.

This episode is my favorite thus far! Marc and Steven travel through their memories, which gives us their origin story....and OH MY GOD! It was creative, emotional and dark at times! I hope you can enjoy this episode without getting spoiled cause there is a lot of crazy moments! I have no Idea how the final episode will pan out!

This whole episode was a masterclass on show don't tell. Could have done an exposition dump of dialogue or just done infrequent flashbacks but this gives us the background of Marc and consistently puts the audience in the shoes of Steven in all the discoveries he makes about himself. Thats not just for this episode, but for every episode prior its done this, keeping the mystery throughout the whole show. But this ep is a whole character ep.

It's difficult to say what the next ep will bring as this mystery just got more mind bending but does favour to hyping us up for the final ep. However, this ep didn't do much to progress the narrative but did a lot to increase our investment and understanding of the protagonist and kudos to the showrunners, I would have never thought Disney's MCU would tackle the themes this episode did in such a head on way.

On top of that, this is definitely the ep that Oscar Isaac shines the most, and I can't imagine the next episode will top this one for acting only because this was such a character driven episode.

We can now also see why the CGI was a bit pants in earlier eps because this episode was CGI heavy and it looked decent enough to not take away from any of the scenes.

Overall, this ep is a great addition to this show and definitely increases respect for Marvel. Bring on the finale.

P. S. I hope the next ep isn't a CGI heavy battle, hoping this ep was the ep with the most CGI.

A very visually stunning and amazingly acted episode. I guess most of the visual effects went to this episode and that hippo lady and they gave like 20 bucks to the VFX team to make that chase scene in the first episode.

This penultimate episode, much like the penultimate episode of WandaVision takes us to the childhood and past life of our protagonist through their memories, and just like Wanda's, Marc's childhood and origin are as tragic and depressing as it gets.

I really like this introspection episode of our character(s) as we get to know who really Marc and Steven are, which one is the original, and the reason Marc joined the military and became Moon Knight.

Oscar Isaac and Oscar Isaac have been phenomenal in every episode so far, but I think this is their best performance yet. Of course, there are other actors in here too but the majority of the episode revolves around this character. (I guess you can say that about all the other episodes too, but this one has more screen-time for Oscar)

Aside from all of it's good parts and great acting though, I kinda wanted a little bit more from the memories and "we're doing flashbacks but we call it a memory recalling session so it doesn't seem like a flashback even though it's totally flashback", you know what I mean? I wanted to see more memories, and also more from the memories they showed and didn't show the whole thing.

And there's also another thing about the third alter that bothered me but I can't say anything about it without spoiling it, so there's that too.

The thing that happened at the end was very surprising too. I'd be way more surprised if it's permanent, because it's a good character development in my opinion, but I won't be shocked if they don't reverse it in the next episode.

I also gotta mention again, that these episodes feel like they need 3 or 4 episodes each to truly use their material's potential and not cram everything in just 45 minutes, you know what I mean? Like the whole psych ward thing could've been a whole half-a-season story arc but we get only one episode, or the whole Marc's past could've been a season in itself, but Disney says only 6 episodes so they have to cram everything they have into it. So I would've been more happy if they did more things with the memories, but the episode is still great and the writers and directors did a good job with the time and episode limit they were given.

Overall, a really well-paced, well-acted, well-written, and visually stunning episode and a deeper look inside Marc Spector's mind. This character and his story had a really big potential for more episodes and more seasons, but it is fine what they've done with the 6-episode limit they had to work with.

Wow, im totally speechless. Oscar Isaac and Mohamed Diab took a not very known marvel character and made it one of the best stories in marvel universe and gave it depth all that and we still haven't watched the finale!

I've watched over 200 tv shows. More than 5500 tv episodes and i can say this is one of the best and definitely one of my favorites.

I believe Oscar must win the Amy for his performance as Mark/Steven/Moon Knight. And Mohammed Diab did amazing job too. And lets not forget the amazing soundtracks and background music choices by Hesham Nazih!
