I can see a Darkman vibe, also got, and enjoyed, a Spawn vibe with the internal dialogue.

I thought that was a really cool easter egg and surprised more shows don't do that more often.

Very cool. I wonder if each ep will have a code in them to hunt for.

I finally got around to starting this, since it's finishing up and I can binge if I want. I did not expect to like it, but it was pretty entertaining. I couldn't remember much about the comics but for some reason it gave me the impression of being a batman riff. Maybe I'm just so Batman-ed out that I see it's influence where it isn't. While I'm not a fan of the "clueless bumbler" trope or multiple personalities, Oscar Isaac really impressed me with his performance. And I love how Marvel can add just the right amount of humor in tense situations, such as the giant cupcake bouncing down the road in the middle of a car chase.

Much like Hawkeye, Marvel is showing they can do good work with secondary characters.

I know this has been out for a while now but just watched episode one. It was… interesting. Kind of all over the place and a bit bizarre/hard to follow but I guess that was the point. Interested enough to keep on going and might try to binge it over the rest of the weekend.

Advice - stop now. You'll only have wasted 45 minutes of your life.

I actually liked the second episode a bit more.

I watched the entire season and I love Isaac but thought this show was extremely boring.

Re: Moon Knight (S1E01) - "The Goldfish Problem" - 3/30/22

Funny you bumped this up. I just finished this show yesterday. I have been going through all the Marvel shows in order for the first time and I have found this one to be the weakest entry so far (just started She-Hulk. I am 3 episodes in so that may soon change it appears).

Issac is great in his roles but I felt this show was such a chore to get through. Starts decent and get weaker each episode. And the character of Steven, though played well, is quite annoying after a while.

Plus, there is the entire "Moon Knight absence" issue. After finishing EVERY episode, I kept thinking of Dr. Malcom saying "Ah, now eventually you do plan to have Moon Knight in your Moon Knight show, right? Hello?...Hello? Yes?"



Luckily, I am watching all these Marvel shows while on the treadmill, so I don't feel like I am completely wasting my time. But the overuse of the generic "Strong Female Character" in every show is getting tiresome and predictable.

Re: Moon Knight (S1E01) - "The Goldfish Problem" - 3/30/22

I’m to episode four. There are some interesting elements to it but I want to like it more than I do. It’s hard to follow and yeah, Moon Knight himself is lacking in presence.

I admittedly don’t know much about the character of Moon Knight from the comics but I think the character seems interesting and has a cool look.

This like so many other Disney+ shows feels like it may have been better as a more focused movie rather than a drawn out six part series.

The show starts off decent but becomes a slog IMO. As someone who loved the Moon Knight comics in the 80's, the show ended up being a disappointment to me overall.
