Marvel Comics: Khonshu Explained | Comics Explained

[@Zelariathenaga]

I'd love an "Egyptian pantheon Explained" video. I always wondered how all the Egyptian gods played into the marvel universe, but other than this video I've heard almost no reference to them.

[@aimforthesky6095]

The white African gods and black African gods. The Egyptian pantheon and the African Pantheon of gods. you never realized why the separation. Like Egyptians aren't African but they are

[@eghoseisiramen1892]

I like the explanations that Khonsu is like the phases of the moon, that’s why he’s so random in different stories, cause he’s literally different in them

[@trevorghalt1881]

I love that Moon Knight and Black Panther are both connected because their avatars, would be cool if they teamed up more

[@jimmybiscuit]

It'd be cool to see it in the mcu but ofc they didn't recast and completely ruined Black Panther, hopefully they bring back Killmonger or something

[@KryyssTV]

Mark is a mercenary and would only team up with T'Chala or Shuri if there was profit to be made. Let's not forget that he's not a hero although he can be in the right place, at the right time to be heroic. But Spector is not a nice person; he's very self centred, hypocritical and part of the reason he has this disorder is because he recognises that in himself. What you may notice is that this is yet another character who was part of the west coast avengers alongside the evil Vision and John Walker who are already in the MCU. I'f Valentina Fontaine is also going to recruit Mark Spector in this series then you know where the overarching MCU narrative is going.

[@CabageBeans]

[@decidueye2963]

@@KryyssTV Well, he will team up with anyone if Khonshu wants him to for the most part and Moon Knight and Brother Voodoo teamed up with Black Panther and helped him to reconnect him with Bast, i think like in late 90's.

[@TheBlueB0mber]

I believe the term to define Khonshu is "ambivalent" meaning he has both positive & negative attitudes which can be transient and/or controlled by his mood. This is in contrast to a benevolent (good) or malevolent (evil) deity.

[@CultOfCausality]

You mean neutral?

[@ramencurry6672]

Khonshu is secretly Optimus Prime

[@acupofwhitetea]

So in other words, he is human

[@saafirg9081]

I love that the mcu is starting to explore different mythologies other than Norse mythology.

[@brooklyngemini3410]

What's the difference if they are now saying moon knight is white?..... I thought Jews were slaves in Egypt? Here the gods skip over every black person in Africa to give powers to a white guy, a jew of all 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ phuking wow

[@Boxedpapi]

Same. I hope they add some new god's and heroes soon though. Thor added a new realm and I lowkey want to to be like the source wall breaking in DC. Maybe new heroes or at least beings to give power? That'd be awesome to me if they made like new Dr. Strange powers, etc.

[@saafirg9081]

But one thing I want marvel to do with Norse is to show the other gods. We only ever see Heimdall, Odin, Thor, and Loki. What happened to all the other Norse gods like Sif, Baldur, Njord, or Tyr etc.

[@TheInfamousWolf]

I mean, it's not like they explored it all that much in the first place but other gods are cool to see.

[@lucasbroome4148]

@Saafir G I saw the legitamate Thor: Love and Thunder poster. There should be more gods and aliens in it. It wasn’t even those fan made ones either, Thor was buffer like he lost all of that fat and turned it into muscle mass, his axe was bigger, we saw the guardians and Gorr looked so detailed it was insane. Don’t know when it’ll release though

[@TheMainMate]

With Gorr the god butcher being in Thor four, with Russell Crowe been cast as Zeus, I hope we see some Egyptian gods maybe get killed or at least fight gorr in Thor 4

[@LarryBonson]

The problem withi Thor movies Asagardians are aliens while Moon Knight God is mystical.

[@backin06]

@@backin06 in the comics sure, in the MCU? .....we'll have to see, the MCU is kinda whack with its power scaling choices lets be real here

[@RiceCubeTech]

@@backin06 the scaling for cosmic deities in marvel is ass. As much as I love them, it’s ass. Cosmic god being weaker than aliens, some cosmic beings supposedly being “omnipotent” getting killed by low level reality warpera or lower tier cosmic beings, the beyonders being more powerful than the literal embodiment of “God” but then being killed by Doom. I hate marvels scaling so much.

[@juliantaffa4089]

Maybe the end of the Moon Knight series will see Gorr having absolutely massacred a bunch of the Egyptian gods? That would be super cool

[@mikepowers8354]

Has Konshu ever had any interaction with Apocalypse? It would seem logical as a being intent on expanding its power that it would have sought out or enlisted Apocalypse. Combined with the fact that both of them would’ve been in the same areas around the same times right?? Wouldn’t it be awesome if they were connected somehow?

[@trygon_stingray]

If I remember correctly, in Mark Waid’s S.H.I.E.L.D. run, a flashback shows Apocalypse and the first Fist of Khonshu fighting against a Brood invasion alongside real-world figure Imhotep.

[@mikepowers8354]

@@trygon_stingray that’s dope! I would’ve figured that Apocalypse would’ve been the fist of Konshu at some point. Or at least been offered the gig lol

[@the_styler1]

@@mikepowers8354 that makes no sense. Apocalypse doesn't do anyones biding besides his own.

[@redjirachi1]

I want to know something: Apocalypse is said to have inspired many mythological figures, but said mythological figures are real in the Marvel Universe. I know En Sabah Nur was known by Tezcatlipoca at one point, so I want to see the Smoking Mirror voice his opinions

It's nice whenever lesser-known gods get development/spotlight. Hades had fun with this, and Moon Knight gives room for one of the more obscure Egyptian gods
