I loved the whole ep, Oscar Isaac is perfect for this role. I can't really talk to much about it but the way they presented moon knight was a kids dream , super cool and true to what a hero is . I don't think I got that moved ever for a superhero introduction.
I put on Moon Knight as I generally love Marvel comics and shows, and figured - why not. Well, I was surprised at just how good this show was. I was expecting it to be good, but it was REALLY good. The character development and choice of actors was perfect, the comedy, the Ancient Egypt history, it was jam packed full of fabulousness and I could not get enough. Moon Knight has got to be Marvel/Disney's most underrated show, and definitely its best. There is nothing bad to say about it - if you haven't watched it, then do, and I cannot wait for more seasons! I really hope they don't cancel it like so many other brilliant Marvel shows (never going to get over them cancelling The Punisher, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage). The lack of discussions on this show seems to be entirely down to the lack of marketing of which I saw none other than in the Disney app itself. It deserves more attention.
And I kinda love it. It's genuinely bonkers and the last episode put my jaw on the floor. Oscar Isaac is brilliant as the lead, and the action is solid. Give it a chance!
I liked this series because it is not ridiculous, it is full of action, the actors did their duties well, especially Ethan Hawke and Oscar Isaac, and that is why this series is among my favorite Marvel series, but the second season has not arrived yet, I do not know if it will be released, but if the second season is released, it will be a good season. I think it will happen. Another reason why I liked this series was its mysterious story and its treatment of Egyptian mythology. I liked this series because I am interested in history and Egyptian mythology, but the reason why I deducted a point is that the series has 1 season and this is too short for me.
The "Moon Knight" series ascends to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with my enthusiastic 7/10 rating, and I absolutely loved it. Oscar Isaac's portrayal of the enigmatic Marc Spector is a magnetic tour de force, capturing the complexity of a fractured mind and a hero in the making. The film editing weaves a web of mystique and suspense, creating an immersive experience that blurs the lines between reality and the supernatural. Its strength lies in its exploration of identity, mental health, and the collision of ancient mythology with the modern world. The music adds an eerie, otherworldly ambiance, and the cinematography paints a hauntingly beautiful canvas of the moonlit streets of Cairo. "Moon Knight" is a spellbinding journey into the darkness within us all, a reminder that heroes can emerge from the most enigmatic of places, and my love for it shines as brightly as the moon itself.

- TriviaFor the scenes where Steven and Marc interact with each other, rather than have Oscar Isaac try to act against a green screen stand-in or an extra, Marvel hired Isaac's brother, the journalist-actor Michael Benjamin "Bro Dameron" Hernandez, to serve as his double as a way to help Isaac act opposite himself. Isaac said during a 'Moon Knight' press conference that his brother is the closest thing to him there is on earth. This way, Isaac was able to seamlessly differentiate between the characters and was able to feed off of Hernandez's energy, as if he was acting against himself.
