Hey I know this isn't related to Moon Knight or Marvel but seeing as you guys haven't reacted to a DC movie in a while I have a suggestion. Justice League: Gods and Monsters. It's an alternate universe story on the Justice League. There are also 3 minisodes that take place before the movie. It is really is a great movie and I think you guys would really enjoy it.

[@skylaralley2465]

Some things to know about Dissociative Identity Disorder: -it’s a covert disorder, meaning that it’s quite common for alters to not even know that they have the disorder -it can only develop in childhood through repeated trauma -blackouts are one of the main symptoms, losing hours, days, or even weeks sometimes -it’s quite common for alters to have different accents. It’s all based upon what the child can view as someone that can protect them, and ideas they have already. So if the body knew of American accents or grew up around them, it’s extremely likely to have an American alter in Britain -alters tend to have the job of acting like the host, in this case that’s Steven. So most likely if Marc is fronting at some place that Steven is supposed to be, then he can pretend to be Steven -co-consciousness is what happens when alters can communicate with one another when one is fronting. It’s essentially them being in the passenger seat of the car

I agree with Rick about Gus the one-finned fish dying of starvation. it seems like Steven went to sleep, then Marc woke up and went to do a bunch of Moon Knight stuff in western Europe (including scarab stealing) but it took longer than he expected to get back due to Steven's interference. By the time Marc got back to England, Gus was dead. So Marc bought the new fish to cover for the excess lost time, then went to sleep. Then Steven (whose last memory was of the final destination logs killing those 2 guys) woke up screaming. Which is really kind of sad. I know it can be hard to keep goldfish alive even with daily care, but poor one-finned Gus didn't deserve his fate. Superheroes need care plans for their pets, their jobs are too unpredictable.

[@nandyk.2026]

Do you mind if I ask you a question: How does it feel to have DID and how severely does it affect your life? I'm just curious but trying to stay sensitive.

[@Richie___Rich]

@@itsmaddogofficial No worries, that's a big question though. In the beginning it was a lot like you see in this episode of MK, weird little things that add up until you think you're going crazy. People calling you the wrong name, saying you scheduled a date, etc. The vegan thing actually happened to me lol I used to be vegetarian but my alters would eat meat so people said they saw me eat meat and it was so confusing. Also similar to MK with the cellphone, I always found social media accounts on my phone under different names, with very different personalities. But the thing is I had some awareness like 20% of the time someone else was fronting. So the way it felt was that I was pretending to be someone else online, and I happened to black out when I was pretending. It sounds dumb but I didn't know any different so I genuinely thought other people blacked out a lot and hardly remembered anything. Then after I was diagnosed it opened the door, I wrote notes to my alters and responses started appearing. We started working on communication, and doing trauma work ofc which helped us grow closer because some alters were/are "hid away" to protect the rest of us from knowing their bad memories. Now I have blackouts a lot less but they still happen. If I'm close to an alter I will remember, for example where they went or who they talked to, but not the details. Otherwise switching in is like waking up. Kinda similar to the show in that, I don't go anywhere in between, my consciousness just skips ahead suddenly. But the show is pretty dramatized, it is more gradual and fuzzy, not just BOOM I'm somewhere else. Sometimes it happens in the middle of a conversation and I have no idea what I just said. Sometimes I still have dumb moments like, my alter will order a coffee and then later I'll ask whose it is (I don't drink coffee). But mostly we are good at communicating and keeping track of stuff, we all have our strengths and come out at different times, and we work well together.

[@itsmaddogofficial]

@@Richie___Rich thats really interesting, and the way you write to yourself is really smart. Im glad its getting better for you!

@@dlilwon They can. It's not super common but it can happen. That's the one gripe I have with the show. The dissociating is visually looking more like hallucinating...and they are not the same experiences. But yeah, some systems can visually see their alters in the world around them but most just communicate internally. Alters can also sometimes see their internal apperance in mirrors and not see the body. But other systems do see the body in mirrors but don't identify with its appearance... like looking at a stranger. It's a very varied disorder. Each system functions in different ways so it's a hard disorder to super accurately portray. As it's slightly different for each person. The Egyptian God would point to schizophrenia IF we didn't know that in this universe gods actually exist. And in this case an actual Egyptian God has chosen Marc to be his worldly Avatar. We meet other gods Avatars in a future episode from what screenshots have told me.

Dope episode. Moon Knight fan since 1993. 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.

Just so you guys know there is a real mental disorder called Disassociate Identity disorder (DID) which include multiple identities within one body known as "alters" and stems from childhood trauma. Many of the memories of the alters are not shared which can mean loss of time for some. There are positions in this system but the one I want to talk about is "The Host" which is essentially the alter which is clueless to the existence of the system and is created as a defense mechanism to be able to life their day-to-day life without the burdens of past traumatic memories. While in real life DID comes from repeated trauma to children under 7ish, if I remember correctly, I believe that in the case of Moon Knight this is a result of the original Identity gaining the powers to become Moon Knight. Also as a side note people who have DID sometimes consider terms like Multiple Personality Disorder or referring to different Alters as "Personalities" outdated and offensive since although they split off from one mind they are full people with their own complexities and quirks. I am a friend of some people who have DID so I'm glad that so far Moon Knight has been able to present a piece of media that portrays the condition mostly accurately. Otherwise, loved the reaction, been watching for a while. :)

I don't know if it's been mentioned, but Eric should go see an eye doctor. If it was a burst blood vessel (subconjunctival hemorrhage) it shouldn't have any pain other than possible slight discomfort. Don't hesitate when it comes to your eyes. Go see an optometrist asap. (opthalmic assistant and optician here). Love watching Blind Wave reactions, wish only the best of health to you all.

Unfortunately the US health system is about profit not health of patients. Pretty much every other country does it better.

@@CryptikConstruct Thank you for poorly placed and mostly off topic public service message. We can all feel the concern you have for another person's suffering.

[@CryptikConstruct]

@@Well...Darn. how is it off topic? Directly related to the post and the topic of health care. If it was free, or cheap as chips, like the rest of the world then maybe people would see a doctor. Did the truth trigger you?

@@CryptikConstruct Silly Simon. Somebody had the audacity to react poorly to your pronouncement so they must be triggered? Anyway. I didn't call you a liar. I didn't suggest that your PSA was not factual. I'm not even saying I disagree with you. That said, the topic of the original post was the concern for Eric. Sure, it was concern for something medical, but the actual subject was compassion. This would be why I used the words "mostly off topic" instead of "completely off topic." So, did calling you out on the fact that you used the most flimsy of excuses to rage against the health system trigger you?

As a Mark myself, I am beyond pleased that there's finally a Marvel hero with my name (even though it's spelled wrong)

[@abbyj4108]

The girl asking about the reeds I’m presuming was actually asking Marc, since in the comics he actually dies and is brought back by Khonshu (the bird skull in mummy rap) and that’s when he gets his powers, how she knew about that and if she really is a just a random little girl (unlikely) idk tho

[@flowr7068]

Maybe the girl is just in his imagination in his head since Steven really wants to be a tour guide.

My favorite premiere of the Disney Plus Marvel shows and probably my favorite Marvel show premiere since Daredevil.

[@ZK4518]

Also it is not called Split personality or multiplier Personality disorder any more it is now called Dissociative Identity Disorder or DiD. and it is when a person, most likely a kid goes through repeated trauma and the mind can't handle it anymore so the brain creates an alter to protect itself from harm. and that alter is know as a protector. But, the alters do have real memories and they are also real people. This was a good way of showing how involuntary alter changes are. For what I know about DiD, you can really lose days even when one of you alters decides to front. Seems Steven is a fairly new-ish alter so whatever happened to Marc to make Steven take over for so long must’ve pretty large trauma (which alters are born/created which is through Massive trauma). I appreciate the fact they (the host and alters) Haven’t made an “Evil” alter yet. Again DiD is about managing trauma not causing it. Yes, some alters (known as Protecters) can be rougher on the outside ( aka in front while the host is in the mind). But, never straight-up causing problems on purpose only to protect the host and the other alters. And Marc is the host as for Steven he is the one who is the most out aka in front so he can have some social life. Also Marc always had DiD as a kid/teen he has 4-5 alters

Omg someone who knows what DID is and didnt say split personalities. The amount of reactors/commentors iv seen call it split or multiple personalities is astounding.

Steven does give permission for Marc to take control at the end, so there’s a chance he actually is aware of what’s going on at the end. But maybe not, I doubt they’d want to have all the Steven being confused storyline end at episode 1. Not sure though.

The reason Marc was telling steven give him control because he knows how to use and summon the suit and whenever Steven passed out while driving the truck it was mark fighting because he was a mercenary before he became moon knight, and the dude calling steven a parasite was konshu the moon God

Um... these guys are not well-informed with Moon Knight and his origin. Let them find out about who the "God" is when the show reveals it to them organically.

@@anacatarinasilva6140 Did she acknowledge the kid? She might just saw him kinda practicing being a tour guide, like shadow boxing. Because it's weird why she knew that Marc died and was technically refused in the field of reeds because he was resurrected by Khonshu.

Just to clean up Aaron's thoughts/questions Speculation/Potential Spoilers - - - - Steven and Marc are in one body. They are a person who has DID. However, Marc during some sort of mission doing whatever he does was possessed by a God or something that allows Marc to become Moon Knight, but Steven can not.
