The Goldfish Problem

I like it. Great episode. Not cliche or repetitve like Hawkeye.

So there was one small plot hole to this otherwise great start. How on earth could you wake up in the morning thinking it was friday and somehow make it to dinner still thinking it was friday. He works at museum so how the heck did he make it all day...its small but still noticable.

I haven't been this excited for the rest of an MCU Disney+ show since WandaVision. This episode does exactly what it needed to do; be intriguing, and set the bar for the series.

I thought Oscar Isaac did a great job in his role(s). He has a lot of charm, and the techniques he pulled off was done very well. He also conveys his problem in a very convincing way. The others also do a good job, including Ethan Hawk.

One thing I like about this show is how unique it is from the rest of the MCU. Like WandaVision, but with a twist, it's really trippy, and mysterious, which had me very interested in the show. While the CGI isn't impressive, the action scenes are at least decent, and a lot of fun.

Overall, while not without issues, it's a great start to a show, and has me very excited. Unlike some of Phase 4, this has me interested in what happens next.

Oscar is great, Ethan is great and the colors are great too!

Egypt history is rich and filled with amazing stories, and with moon knight people can explore this in so many ways, but the one i love the most is the ancient and some nineties Egyptian music by Hisham Nazih and the directing by Mohamed Diab who are both Egyptians by the way.

CGI is a pit of to be honest. But the story and multi-personality thing covered for it!

The show kicks off with things that make you question whats going on. It continues to do the same throughout the whole episode and thats what a pilot should be: establish the characters and their personalities and hint at the story to come over the next few episodes without being slow or overly convoluted. Even skipping the action scenes and just showing the results of the action was a smart move to add to the mystery of what Moon Knight is capable off whilst seeing it from Steven's eyes. It adds to that mystery of whats to come.

The acting here is great but at the moment Oscar Isaac's British accent is hit and miss but otherwise its great.

It seems to be a bit more brutal than the other marvel shows but from this pilot it shows to be one of the stronger marvel shows. In MCU shows they tend to reveal any connections early on to establish its place in the timeline but I couldn't find any connections in this pilot bar one obscure one: did they reference Claire Temple? I appreciate establishing the show on its own and not making big connections to the films at the moment. Let's see what the next eps hold.

Overall the pilot shows a promising potential of whats to come.

P. S. Any shot with a reflective surface like a mirror, puddle or just glass were crafted beautifully.

I found this to be a really solid pilot episode, probably one of Marvel's better ones.

We meet a new character to the MCU canon and learn just enough to want to keep watching. It is a very twisty forty-something minutes of television compared to most of Marvel's other stuff so maybe some who want everything explained precisely out-rifht won't get in to it... I thought it was fairly easy to follow. I've wanted to see Moon Knight on screen for a good while and Oscar Isaac's acting, along with the directing and visual flair, was more than enough to get me into it.

I did notice some pretty weak effects a few times. I'm not sure what that's all about. Other than that, I throughly enjoyed it and I already love the main character.
