Worst MCU project ever greenlit. I cannot believe they wanted to include this as part of the superhero genre.

As a stand-alone Egyptian mythology show, I could say it’s interesting. But no way this is MCU project. I got bamboozled!

They haven’t explored even a little how a Jew can come to be in thrall to an Egyptian god, something totally antithetical to his beliefs.

To be specific, I meant Hawke as the antagonist, not as the afterlife doctor.

Call it a hunch but I hardly think Spektor is the religious type.

Been loving the series so far. For the Moon Knight comic book fans there
Spoiler:
Was the version of Marc with the broken nose sitting in front of the "doctor", Jake Lockley? It feels that they have slowly teased the third personality of Marc through the last several episodes, and he would be the most violent one of them all.

I'm thinking that too, it's definitely being teased.

I sure wouldn't with that horrific childhood. And his dad being a rabbi and all and not even helping protect him from his mother.

Sorry, should have been more clear. The episode (and show itself) doesn't directly deal with this outside of being set after it transpired (I think a bus ad is the only reference). What I meant was that the shows (and to some extent, films), set after Endgame have it's characters dealing with grief/loss.

Spider-man Far from home had Peter dealing with the loss of Tony.
WandaVision loss and grief and trauma were pretty central.
Falcon/Winter Solider had both trying to move forward without Steve.
Hawkeye touched on his feeling of loss for Natasha. As well as her sister dealing with the same loss.

While Moonknight doesn't have it's main character dealing directly with the loss or grief of previous characters, it does touch upon trauma, loss and grief.

In short, the after end-game Marvel has been pretty bleak in some areas for our characters. Considering what they've gone through, that's pretty understandable.

Doesn’t matter (although from what I gather his dad was a rabbi in the books). Anyone brought up Jewish (Hebrew school, synagogue, etc) is presented with these issues- hammered with the fact we escaped bondage in Egypt, etc. So the fact we have a Jew serving an ancient Egyptian god should be brought up in the show.

As someone who suffered through eight years of Hebrew School, three years of Retreats and Day Camp counseling, two months of summer indoctrination in Eretz Yisrael, and four years at Brandeis University (OK that last part was fun), I can honestly say I would LEAP at the chance to be an Egyptian god's avatar of justice

Besides, any Passover Seder hammers the point home that our enemy wasn't Egypt or the people of Egypt, but the wicked pharaohs and their policies... if anything in Exodus was remotely historically accurate. Which it aint.

Well, who says in a universe where Egyptian gods are real what exists and what doesn’t? Just be nice to see them bring it up. In the MCU we already have Norse and Egyptian gods walking the Earth, and I’m fairly certain the new Doctor Strange movie will explore more of this.
