[@HurtButNotDefeated]

Oscar Isaac is clearly the best thing about this show, his ability to change his facial expressions, gait, voice, and mannerisms is astounding.

[@EpicNerdsWithCameras]

Man's physical acting is so top notch he snuck an entire third character in and no one realized it until the finale. I mean...they wouldn't have if people who read the comics hadn't exploded about it all over the internet.

I actually enjoyed Hawke’s performance. Some lines were whack and the third act did him a disservice but I think he did what he could with the material. The standout for me was the ending to one of the episodes where he’s talking to Khonshu’s statue about how his torment forged him.

I hate when people get annoyed about the "bad" accent in this show. That's on purpose! The reason the accent is bad is because Steven is based off of what Marc thinks a British accent would sound like coming out of him. So when he broke down and created Steven, based off of the movie character he liked, it wasn't a natural accent obviously. It is literally an American who thinks he's British and is trying his best to imitate the accent.

[@dylancole1910]

There are a lot of British people that actually said that his accent wasn’t bad and was accurate enough to fool them before they started to watch some of the interviews. There was actually one person I was watching reactions to this show that was British and she said that it was an inflection that doesn’t get represented in television very often for no reason in particular. So, it could be that most Americans watching the show aren’t used to that variant of the accent we recognize. I’d have to agree because personally, for me, if I hadn’t known that Oscar wasn’t British he would have fooled me too. I was a bit surprised because it’s an accent I’ve never really heard before, and I used to watch a lot of a British television when I was a teenager, so, I got used to the usual types of Brits. Some actually thought he was doing a bad New York accent for Marc🤷🏻‍♂️😂

Oscar massively over acted in this... in some sense it was deserving, but still, the honest trailer clearly showed how silly some of his “huge acting choices” were. I like that the whole show was kinda silly and over the top anyway, so Oscar’s performance worked. But in my opinion, it takes a truly great actor to do an amazing job playing a subtle and nuanced character, not just a flamboyant, larger than life character. In this regard I’d probably put Isaac’s performance alongside Elizabeth Olsen’s performance in WandaVision. They both had to do silly cheesy stuff and make it work alongside deeply emotional intense stuff.

[@alitain8135]

I disagree with you about Ethan Hawke. I don't think he was phoning it in, I enjoyed his performance. There was a subdued intensity about him that just made him enjoyable throughout even if he wasn't a flashy villain till the end.

Man, I love how the MCU has already created a completely revisionist history of comics. In the late 90s, the insanely unpopular avengers went through a ton of revisions and retcons in an attempt to bring in new readers. Hero's reborn, Hero's returns, and Avengers vol 3 all flopped and by the 2000s when discussions about the Iron Man movie were starting up, they were considered largely unsellable. Thor, Cap, ant man, and Hulk have all had several revival series (previous to the MCU) that were cancelled before they could even finish. Burning though there A-listers? The core MCU cast was so low on the list that D-listers wouldn't return their calls. Moonknight, on the other hand, had seen 8 consecutive successful runs and even somehow survived Bendis Bendising the whole thing up in Vol 6. If you were to take a snap-shot of the pre-MCU comic landscape and compare it to the MCU today, Moonknight is probably the second most popular member of the MCU.

[@soundgal_sine_qua_non]

Dude, "doesn't do justice to the subject matter of mental illness"? This is the best (and by best I mean most respectful and researched) portrayal of DID I've seen in media. There are a few Hollywood spins on it (cuz Hollywood), but from what I've seen from DID System KZbinrs, it seems to tackle elements in a pretty respectful way (other than the complete lack of a trigger warning at the start of episode 5). The black outs are true to DID, so that part where action got blacked out didn't bother me. It's from the point of view of Marc and Steven, so we'll get to Jake's POV once Marc and Steven are ready to explore that and get to know him better. Also, Konshu is not an alter in their system. He's a god possessing them, just like how Taweret possessed Layla in ep 6. But the line about an Eygptian god possessing the first Jewish superhero was exactly what I thought too. Such irony.

Ye, this is probably the only one of their videos where I don't agree with a lot of the criticisms. Idk how you can portray the whole problem of mental illness whilst making it a superhero show that is capable of entertaining people at a commercial scale. I feel like that have done a beautiful job given all the criteria (I have not read any of the moonknight comics and am not commending on that one point). I love that they never showed certain fighting scenes. Makes things a lot more menacing. Plus, it is not like we have not seen what moonknight is capable of. So, the rest of it can be left to imagination. Only problem is that I hope the hype they have created for the third personality does not overshadow the next movie or show in this thing.

3 errors. Khonshu is not the third, Jake Lockley is. Khonshu is a being outside of Marc/Steven/ Jake on an alternate plan so others can’t see him until he got free from being imprisoned. Marc/Steven/Jake didn’t kill Layla’s father. The man he worked for did and since Marc tried to save her father and others he was shot and left dying where Khonshu found him. Third, Marc is the one that made it to the afterlife in the Reeds. Not Steven.

Yeah I'm not with you on this one at all. Isaac swung for the fences because it was appropriate for the role, tone and themes of the series, Hawke tones it down because he consistently plays the voice of reason to Isaac's consistent mental brokenness (plainly expressed in ep5) and the show is all about mental brokenness, from the very first frame.

Okay, but I really have to clarify because I see a lot of people getting this wrong: Marc did NOT kill Layla’s father (and neither did Jake). Additionally, Khonshu is not one of Marc’s alters, although this idea has been played with in the comics, it is made very apparent in the show that Khonshu is a separate entity.

nice that's what i thought too. Steven obviously doesn't kill people and Marc isn't the ultimate survival personality, back then, before Khonshu it was actually Jake, he was the sociopath.
