I do love the Marvel TV poster art for each episode of their shows. This one looks great.

They've gotten more interesting because they've commissioned outside artists. Boba Fett did this too. I'm so tired of floating head posters.

Yes, the Boba posters were fantastic. I'd certainly purchase some of these.

Another entertaining episode (although I wish they had entitled it "Summon the Soup" just to throw people off).

Bringing in Mr. Knight was a clever twist, though it was played primarily (and effectively) for laughs and I kind of doubt we seem him again.

This sort of followed the same formula as the 1st episode, with the long buildup to Moony's brief but welcome appearance at the end. Hopefully he gets more screentime in the next episode, which will no doubt flesh out Marc Spector's character and involvement with Khonshu more.

I liked the episode but I'm over Steven's befuddlement. It's only a 6-episode mini-series, so let's rock n roll. I guess I never paid attention but most of the episodes will be directed by Moorhead & Benson. Big fan of all of their features (I own them all on BD, too).

Good to see May Calamawy show up. I really like her on Ramy.

They did Episodes 2 & 4 and were also recently hired for Loki Season 2.

Really loving the show so far. Oscar Isaac killing it as both Steven and Mark. Fast paced show too with good balance of humor and action. I'm not familiar with the comic book so its interesting to gradually learn the back story with Khonshu.

Great stuff. F. Murray Abraham is perfect as the voice of Konshu.

I'm going to disagree with the reviews here. This was such a colossal bore. I like Isaacs, I like the look of the show, but this was rote, by the numbers, generic superhero swill that lacks any of the interesting elements that made the first episode so good.

And the way he just magically bumped into his ex-wife who just happened to be looking for him was terrible on so many levels.

To be fair, Layla said she was tracking the phone. It had been turned off for months, so she couldn't track it until Steven turned it on.

Have to agree - this isn’t clicking with me. And I just went through all the MCU movies so I was primed for this. I enjoyed Hawkeye much more.

And yet she seemed totally surprised as she almost ran him over.

Decent episode. Since supernatural stuff is going on, I'm not even going to try and theorize what is going on. I'm just enjoying the Egyptian mythology.

Same, I recently played Assassin's Creed Origins which takes place in ancient Egypt and references, includes a lot of the mythology. The Discovery Tour mode (about 8-10 hours of playable walking tours of ancient Egypt, art and culture) is worth the game price alone. So, yeah, when some of that turned up in this show I was like..."I understood that reference"

I like it when they inject real ancient culture- that was the best part of reading comics for me. I loved reading Doctor Fate, Aztec, Wonder Woman, Condor, Ragman, etc, because the characters were based around myths of real religion/culture.

I'm enjoying myself and Oscar Isaac is really selling for me.

The "white suit" that was summoned was unexpected... but at the same time a great device to show us the difference between Steven Grant as Moon Knight and Marc Spector as Moon Knight.

Fun ride so far.

Really enjoyed this episode and how we are learning more about the relationship between Steven, Marc, and Khonshu. Loved seeing Steven manifest Mr. Knight then finally give in to Marc and Moon Knight. Unlike other Marvel properties where the humor seems to be forced, the humor from Steven's came very naturally out of his situation and confusion. And being familiar with Moon Knight, I thought his battle with the dog was bad ass. I hope they continue deep diving into Egyptian mythology and the conflict between Khonshu and Ammit in the upcoming episodes.

Simu Liu, Mandarin speakers criticize Chinese spoken by Ethan Hawke's 'Moon Knight' character


After watching the episode, Liu took to Twitter and wrote, "Alright Arthur Harrow needs to fire his Mandarin teacher."

Pretty ballsy for Liu to chime in on that.

I'm... outraged?

Honestly who gives a shit. It's not as if the CHARACTER is of any Asian extraction.

If you were riding a moped to find someone and they leaped out in front of you into the street and you almost run them over, would you be surprised? Even if you were looking for them?

Assuredly, but she wasn't surprised at almost running someone over, but that it just so happened to be the very ex-husband she had been searching all over town for, whose phone she was allegedly tracking.
