Oscar Isaac is such a complete actor, knowing how to act in different personalities and emotions

[@aTofuJunkie]

He was soooooo great in the movie, Inside Llewyn Davis. An elite masterclass in acting.

[@tomcolby5821]

Isaac is great as St. Joseph in the movie "The Nativity"

[@Ant-bm1qk]

You’re a complete actor

[@Sairin13]

"At first I thought it was 'poor Steven', but now I think it's 'poor Mark!'" Welp, you've done it, you just summarized the whole series.

[@Overlord0011]

And yet, she's right to think both.

[@nestorsifuentesaguirre2722]

@@Overlord0011 I'm kinda worried that poor Jake will come soon too

[@shinmopi]

You're absolutely right about Oscar Isaac. His ability to swith from one character to another, and from one accent to another is phenomenal !!

[@coltchan7380]

The way Oscar Isaac is able to portray both personalities.

[@mike_aka_tinman]

This series is amazing and Oscar Isaac’s performance is incredible. When Khonshu started messing with the sky all I thought was if I lived in the MCU I would be like “What now!” 😂

[@IceMetalPunk]

"...okay, which aliens are coming to conquer us *this time?* 🙄"

[@jrhouse87]

This show was fascinating. The way Oscar Isaac was able to shift personalities so seamlessly is amazing.

[@kka0192]

it's fun to watch someone's first experience watching Moon Knight. when you feel lost, it means the show is working for you 😄 You just want to watch it more and more, it's nice to see this reaction, I'll be waiting for the next part 🤍

[@stevenweber7793]

you know Oscar is an amazing actor when imo the best scene is him talking to himself in the mirror as different personalities. I think this was my favorite of the D+ shows so far next to loki.

[@sebastianjoseph2828]

This was the first MCU show I watched, the trailer sold me on it. Trust me when I say that not only is this a well told story that's incredibly acted by Oscar Isaacs (and others), but it's an incredibly emotional story. Edit: Also, I recommend Dune (2021) if you want to see more of his acting.

[@kuivia]

You should watch Daredevil, that show is amazing aswell

[@ThePonderer]

That’s interesting. This never would’ve struck me as anyones first. Did you wind up checking out any other shows?

[@sebastianjoseph2828]

@@ThePonderer I've seen Daredevil but only season 1 so far. I bought Disney+ basically just to watch Andor, been slowly checking out other things.

[@TF2CrunchyFrog]

If you like Oscar Isaacs, you should watch him in _Dark City!_

[@Ghost8386]

Mr. Knight looked incredible in this episode. Another great episode. My favorite part of this episode was the back-and-forth between Steven Grant and Marc Spector. Khonshu looks terrific in this series. Arthur Harrow is a great villain. I love the visuals in this show. Arthur Harrow being a former avatar of Khonshu, was an excellent twist. Arthur Harrow roasting Khonshu was cool-blooded. I'm also enjoying this show. I loved the interaction between Steven Grant and Arthur Harrow in this episode. Khonshu has no chill. Another thing I loved about this episode was Layla, and her interaction with Steven Grant was fun to watch.

[@KthulhuXxx]

The comic version of Moon Knight treads a uneasy ground between whether Khonshu actually exists, or whether Steven/Marc is just suffering from insanity well beyond the obvious DID. His powers also wax and wane with the moon...during a full moon he's at his most powerful, and during a new moon he's barely more powerful than a normal human.

[@Heru3005]

Probably the most underrated Marvel property right now. The acting is absolutely top shelf stuff. Cannot wait to see your reaction to the rest of the show!

[@Rokurokubi83]

Moon Knight is a great mini-series

[@robertsanssouci2093]

As a comic reader I will say they absolutely nailed this one. Couldn’t have been happier

[@VulcanP90]

No kidding. I love this take on Moonie. Is it exactly comic accurate? No. Do they hit all the important parts? Oh yeah.

[@robertsanssouci2093]

@@VulcanP90 I’m not a fan of perfectly comic accurate adaptations. I want it translated into the new media in a way that works. And hopefully freshen up the story a little bit to bring it up to the times.

[@nintenmetro]

Marc and Steven suffer from DID (dissociative identity disorder). Oscar Isaac doesn’t just portray Marc and Steven, but he’s also an executive producer. When he heard the story would begin in London, he decided to put on two different accents so viewers would be able to tell them apart. When Steven is wearing the suit, he's known as Mr. Knight. He looks like a Kingsman Deadpool. Manners maketh man. Director Mohamed Diab fought for Layla to be Egyptian. May Calamawy is from Bahrain but has Egyptian-Palestinian roots. My sister first heard of her in a Hulu show called Ramy. I haven’t seen it yet, but my sister said she got to do a lot more in Moon Knight by comparison. People are gonna know her more thanks to Marvel Studios. While the story takes place in Egypt, the desert scenes were actually filmed in Jordan where Oscar previously worked on Star Wars and Dune. They weren’t able to film in actual Egypt due to political climate, but Mohamed improvised by having downtown Cairo replicated in Budapest where they previously filmed Black Widow. The set they built was about four to five blocks wide. And finally, Anton Mogart/Midnight Man was portrayed by French actor Gaspard Ulliel. Unfortunately, he passed away back in January 2022 when he had an accident at a skiing resort in France. Moon Knight was one of his final projects released posthumously. The third episode is dedicated to him.

[@GustavoReal]

38:56 this scene is so wonderful

[@extremepower5765]

The soundtrack and its motifs are awesome.

[@lurkerrekrul]

I think the reason Steven got skewered while wearing his version of the suit is that he's not used to it and doesn't know all of its powers. He probably wouldn't have been bulletproof while wearing it either. Marc knows what it can do, so he's able to use it to its full extent.

[@IceMetalPunk]

Maybe. I was thinking it worked more like those non-Newtonian fluid armors, where the harder you hit it, the harder it becomes. So a bullet would slam into a brick wall while a blade, moving much more slowly, could pierce through.

[@gchild1286]

Addie, your confusion is warranted. We were all confused. Even those of us that were aware of who Moon Knight is in comics.

[@IceMetalPunk]

No one was more confused than Steven with a V 😂

[@greencello599]

Moon Knight in the comics has an interesting history. It started with one character, then changed to a different person. To settle the mess, all future iterations of Moon Knight are the same person with Dissociative Identity Disorder, or multiple personalities. This is one of the few characters in fiction that is a protagonist with a mental heath problem. Sadly, most characters with mental health problems are relegated to villain status due to an unconscious bias against people with such ailments. I, myself, am working on my own fiction story in which my main male protagonist has severe depression almost becoming bipolar disorder. It's still in the rough stage, but the story is nearly completed, for book one.

[@DarkPaladin24]

2 things I like about the show: 1. Oscar is a terrific actor. His performance got me a bit more curious about DID. 2. The suit and the OST that goes with it. The ending of the first episode never gets old for me. And I have the credits theme in my Ipod.

[@bottlerocket3218]

It's surreal seeing a Moon Knight reaction video that isn't a year old! Thanks for keeping the show alive on youtube again.

[@Ghost8386]

There are some great Indiana Jones meets The Mummy influences in this episode that I really enjoyed. RIP, Gaspard Ulliel. This series has marvelous visuals. The fight scenes in this episode were phenomenal. Arthur Harrow gives me Baron Zemo, Erik Killmonger, Thanos, and Ikaris vibes. Arthur Harrow is an excellent and terrifying villain. Arthur Harrow is also the king of gaslighting. There is a lot of great music in the show. The other Gods have no chill, and they're biased against Khonshu. The Moon shape cape in Moon Knight was badass.

[@johnnynoise7897]

Moon knight is one of my favorite super heroes in comics so when I heard Oscar was cast as Marc/Steven i was so excited to see this show. The concept of multiple personalities always amaze me

[@siikedonnelly]

Thats cool that you checked this show out. I have a similar diagnosis as Marc/Steven. Not DID, but a form of it called OSDD-1A. For years we've "lost time" and after the sudden passing of our service dog, my other parts had to carry me through it. This show does a pretty good job at the frustration and confusion of missing time and waking in places you don't remember going to. The superhero stuff is fun too. Looking forward to your reaction to Ep 5. Thanks for posting this. I like watching peoples reactions to this show.

[@Sairin13]

I think they start the show with the glass shoes to help keep the audience from siding with Harrow, because there are moments in the show where he seems reasonable but in the end you realize that he's holding some screwed up misconceptions and he's too wrapped up in his own melodramatic nonsense to know he's in the wrong, so the producers start with the shoe thing and it immediately gives you this feeling of "This guy is off his rocker"

[@LordHaragnok]

I thought it was meant to be like self flagellation to atone for his sins, since he was working for a justice-oriented goddess and he was the previous avatar of khonshu

[@samantharamos276]

@@LordHaragnok It is, actually it can be both, but regarding self infliction he admits it at one point, and I think it`s interesting because although you can see he fully believes in his twisted faith there`s also an element of underlying manipulation from his part because he figured out that Ammit would see his transgretions but also his willingness to atone and even if she didn`t let him off the hook she would need someone to side with her...that`s one of the many things that I love about this show, the villain is as complex as the heros

[@cervanntes]

Yeah I took it as self flagellation too as means to show that Harrow is a cultist and not entirely sane.

[@ErzengelDesLichtes]

It was Ethan Hawke’s suggestion, apparently. (The actor who played Harrow) It’s the character’s “secret” with his faith. He also said the it “gives the villain a little strangeness”

[@aTofuJunkie]

@@cervanntes So is Moon Knight not being entirely sane.

[@Tomas_France_]

I like this channel. There’s no curse words and you keep it fun

[@CookieFoxx]

Steven is my spirit animal, I love him to bits!

[@testfire3000]

Thanks Addie! I have been waiting for you to get this far. Moon Knight is one of my favorite Marvel shows, right up there with WandaVision.

[@kka0192]

40:15 Oscar is the voice actor in Spiderman into spider verse, his first monologue, and spiderman 2099 in post credits.

[@HelloThere.GeneralKenobi]

Heyyy, it's Billy and not only have you met Moon Knight (Marc) but also Mr. Knight (Steven) Oscar Issac portrays all of these characters perfectly! Long ago I came across MK through Marvel trading cards and thought, seriously?! That's actually a character? Even if you're just getting to know him you're lucky enough to be able to see him in more projects soon! See you for the next video. Take care, Addie and Ollie!! How has he been? We need more of Ollie!!

[@Mis7erSeven]

The suit has healing powers. When Marc got stabbed while wearing it, he instantly recovered from it.

[@stevechevy3382]

A fun roller coaster ride. They did a great job representing Moon knight on the show and all his complexities. Enjoy the rest of the episodes

[@rohanchooramun7288]

Cuz its not a scary show. The fact that both Steven and Mark was confused about who killed those people is something to think about. But for sure it wasn't neither of them nor Khonshu did it. Khonsu doesn't control the host body but can only give orders and give them powers and abilities. The suit is not bulletproof since the stick went through them. Khonsh powers can heal Mark from any wounds.

[@joeblankenship377]

I liked this show a lot. Pretty interesting representation of multiple personalities. And I was smitten with May Calamawy, who plays Layla.

[@BenWillyums]

Any time I hear the phrase 'A Team' this goes through my head: "In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire The A-Team."

[@Caseytify]

As you may have gathered, mirrors are a key symbol in the series. :)

[@brettdiving2744]

Oscar puts on an absolute MASTERCLASS in acting for this series. His switching between personalties is so well-done. I have some issues with the CGI, but Oscar's acting and the story of this series far outweigh any minor complaints I had. You're in for a ride Addie. Also, just to echo another commenter, I really hope you have Dune on your watchlist for some point. As somebody who knew nothing about the property whatsoever, it's one of the best sci-fi films I've ever seen.

[@phtevenj]

i love in the first episode when he changes and the demon dog thing tries to get away from him.... so funny... all in all this is a great series and im excited to watch with you, Addie

[@chrispittman8854]

"Stepping on Lego..." LOL! What a great idea. One "Lego" in each sandal would do it. Way easier on the glassware. "Ooo! Ow! Eeh! Ow! Ooo!"

[@djarinriduur]

Yay! The reaction I’ve been waiting for! I love the Moon Knight comics and this show did such a good job. One of my favorite things Marvel has ever done.

[@Ghost8386]

Steven seeing Khonshu was creepy and awesome at the same time. Dope episode. Since 1993, I have been a fan of Moon Knight. The visuals in this episode were glorious. I'm getting Fight Club, Indiana Jones, Ghostbusters, The Mummy, Jacob's Ladder, and Donnie Darko vibes from this show.

[@c-mc]

when Steven transforms he's Mr. Knight

[@maxvickrey4357]

On snap your already reacting to moon knight !!! What a great way to start my day.... This show was awesome Oscar Isaac did such an amazing job too ....

[@ogbunb622]

It’s unconfirmed that Moon Knight is part of the Avengers MCU timeline but then again, I don’t think they would’ve shown it closely after End Game for nothing. Also, with the glass thing it’s considered a form of meditation and some cultures. I don’t know which ones though.

[@meechyzonepictures]

This was such a great series! I started getting into Moon Knight comics before the series came out, and he instantly became one of my favorite characters.

I'm not into the MCU, but I tried this series because of Oscar Isaac, and for the fact that from the trailers, I thought Moon Knight might be suffering from Narcolepsy (like me) or something. Definitely not what he suffers from, but such a phenomenal series!

Thanks to this series, now I know how to tell when you're really and truly spooked. I lost count of how many times you said, "No!" 26:30 -- In the comics, Moon Knight's strength level does indeed seem to vary with the phases of the moon. That doesn't seem to be part of the MCU's characterization, though. And you're very right to be thinking, "Poor Mark". You'll find out why very shortly. Great reaction, Addie!

I first watched this and had no idea Oscar Isaac was playing the title character. I didn't even expect to see him in the MCU. This is a pretty interesting show. Edit: Anyway, you're almost fully caught up. After this, you still have Ms. Marvel, Thor 4, the Baby Groot shorts (they're important despite taking place before Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2), She-Hulk, Werewolf by Night, Black Panther 2, and Ant-Man 3 (which is coming to Disney+ this month). Of course, there's also Guardians 3, but that's coming to theaters first (this Friday, in fact), then home media, and THEN Disney+. There is also Secret Invasion, but no official date has been confirmed for its release yet. All we know is that it's set to come out later this Spring (we're in May, now, so most likely around this month). P. S. Since they haven't stopped like I had hoped... NO SCAM BOTS ALLOWED!!!

Cannot recommend strongly enough the Cinema Therapy episode on this show. They delve into how good a representation of Dissociative Identity Disorder this is, how accurately it reflects the reality of the condition, and where artistic license is taken to either get the point across to normies or to service the fantastical aspect of the story. It makes a great show even better, seeing how accurately they got it, and how much they clearly cared about presenting this complicated mental health issue in an accurate, and more importantly compassionate, light.

[@comicjack93]

I love the fact that marvel is diving into the darker anti heroes and horror element of the mcu. I absolutely loved moon knight and this is one of my top favourite mcu project, being a big comic book fan here’s a little rundown on who moon knight is, Marc Spector Aka Moon Knight was a former CIA operative turned Mercenary who was betrayed and left for dead. He was subsequently resurrected by Khonshu the Egyptian god of the moon to act as his avatar on earth as the fist of vengeance. Marc also suffers from Dissociative identity disorder and shares the body with two alters Steven grant and Jake Lockley with Marc being the original host.
