I think Layla's looking at Marc with heartbroken eyes. She still loves him. She wants to help him, support him, but somethings broken between them. He's still pushing her away and she realizes she never really knew him. I haven't seen many reactions that talks properly about that scene where Marc answers "you didn't, you don't." at her saying it was as if she barely knew him at all. 1) he said that to keep that distance between them. Just like when he stopped holding her hands in the boat. 2) She doesn't know him because he barely knows himself too. And we saw that in the episode. There's still a personality hidden from him. And the one reflection shot of the episode where it wasn't Steven on the other side was right after that. We can read on Marc's face this sadness, this fatalistic resolve of "I'm doing this for her, she'll be happier without me." And when Layla sees Steven again for the first time. Really *sees* him (now understanding who/what he is) she just looks at him so fondly. She could definitely fall in love with Steven. And I think there's a bit of truth in the theory that Steven became subconsciously what Marc wished he had been for Layla. Steven wouldn't hide things from her, and he'd be way more willing to talk about personal stuff and share his feelings.

[@MotorCityPhoenix313]

Well said!!!

[@syngyne]

Re: Khonshu sacrificing himself, remember that so did the kid that cut his scarf and fell to his death. It just means that Khonshu, like the kid, just believes that strongly in his cause. That belief is also what lets him manipulate Mark/Steven/Mystery Murderhobo without any compunction. Whether or not it's for the greater good is yet to be seen, though I do think Ammit is pretty bad news.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

Yeah I have a hard time trusting Khonshu but I want to believe that it’s for the greater good. But you’re absolutely right, we don’t really know if that is how it will play out.

The guy on the horse you're referring to (Anton Mogart) is played by the late French actor Gaspard Ulliel. I believe he does show up again before the season ends. Sadly he was in a tragic Ski Accident earlier this year (but after he was done filming his parts).

[@realsies9387]

The cape isn’t meant to be smooth. It’s meant to resemble the texture of the moon.

[@jamesfoster9613]

I think the cape is supposed to be a bit...weird. like it's definitely not natural. But In the comics, Khonshu is manipulative and a straight a*hole, so Harrow's trauma is real despite his very evil goals.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

I really do feel sorry for Harrow. Khonshu created this, Khonshu needs to make it right.

[@talyn5304]

Great reaction! What I found interesting was at the end of the episode, Khonshu, when giving instructions to have Mark rescue him from his stone prison, addressed Steven by his name for the very first time - instead of as worm, parasite, idiot or fool! That's something!

[@dimitryanyanwu7681]

Yes Mark's was literally about to die until he met Khanshu who offered him life in exchange for becoming his slave/avatar

[@Nahkampfschaf]

The acting of Oscar Issac is just beyond everything.

[@mikebrown7799]

Nice reaction to this episode, Miss Smith!🎬👏🏽 The actor that played Mogart (Gaspard Ulliel) died in a skiing accident in January at the age of 37, but he filmed his scenes for the series prior. Maybe Khonshu isn't as bad as we thought, and was just bluffing to take Layla as an avatar, seeing his sacrifice. Strong versions of the cold/flu going around everywhere. I took NyQuil Severe and woke up like at 5:30 in the afternoon yesterday.

[@agent_hex]

Khonshu seems to be a godly judge that believes in free will and Ammit is a judge that believes in predestination. So the real question is perhaps not if Khonshu is acting for the greater good, but if you yourself want to support a belief in free will. Honestly, there's some weird and deep biochemistry ideas that could prove Ammit is in fact very right about predestination, and if she has the power to see the whole timeline of your biochemistry...then perhaps her world would indeed be one without evil and fundamentally better than our current mess.

[@StanvilleBrown]

Moon Knight is becoming my favorite Marvel Disney+ show. The episode and your review was great! Side note: The Mummy is the perfect popcorn movie, Rick O'Connell is the man!

[@spacemanspiff3052]

Yes! Steven is a valuable member of the Scooby gang now! I really like Ethan Hawke’s Harrow. You really feel for the guy and the trauma that twisted him. He is twisted and deadly, but he thinks he’s doing something to better the world. It brings to mind something really wise a KZbin reactioneer I like said recently, “Don’t fall in love with the person you think somebody is, fall in love with the person they are.” Ah, wisdom I wish I understood on multiple occasions! Harrow presents as a peaceful soul that must engage in some unpleasantness to save the world, but it’s gaslighting and he’s going to kill on a mass level because he has trauma. Just another jerk on a power trip. Yes, Khonshu is really not much better either, just less sanctimonious about his brutality. Oscar Isaac’s acting is still super on point. Look forward to next Episode! Rock on!

[@Rock-n-Rolla369]

Just found out that F. Murray Abraham is the voice of Khonshu. Had no idea he was still alive lol.

[@mickeymouse7726]

RIP Gaspard Ulliel who plays Anton Mogart who in the comics becomes Midnight Man he was for the longest time my fancast for Gambit in a X-Men movie

[@CaptainAmercia]

Pretty cool X-Men connection in this episode. Madripoor the location mentioned ""After Madripoor I'm sure you two will have alot to talk about"" first made it's appearance in New Mutants #32 and has been an important location for many X-Men stories with Wolverine/Logan even buying the Princess Bar a location he spends alot of time at in Madripoor. This bar also appears in the background of one of the shots in Falcon and the Winter Solider with episode 3 of the show taking place in Madripoor itself. This doesn't mean that the X-Men or mutants in general exist in the MCU but I do find it interesting that Disney and Marvel are finally introducing places from the X-Men/New Mutants comic's maybe there building up the introduction of Mutants and X-Men in the MCU setting up the places first. We saw Prehistoric Dinosaurs for a second in the Doctor Strange 2 trailer which may be the Savage Lands another very important location from the X-Men first showing up in X-Men #62. All we can do is wait I guess.

[@kevinlowe6713]

I love this woman... cuz she's awesome

[@brandonmiracle9810]

There are definitely vibes of The Mummy films as well as Indiana Jones. Both were clearly inspirations for the action-adventure and mythological elements of this show. (In addition to other inspirations like Fight Club for the psychological thriller parts.) And yeah, May Calamawy was SUCH a good casting decision to meet the look/feel of the leading women from those films. Evie from the Mummy. Marion from Raiders of the Lost Ark. She's such a badass character in this series. I'd never heard of her before this, but she's clearly a fantastic actress. My current theory (based on nothing) is that something's going to happen to her and she ends up as an avatar of a different god.

[@FullMetalB]

I randomly saw a clip of the mummy come up on KZbin not long after watching this episode and was like ohhhhhhh Layla looks soo much like Rachel Weisz in those films!

[@funnylilgalreacts]

I don’t know if that was done on purpose or not lol. She looks so much like Rachel

[@MotorCityPhoenix313]

7:38 F Murray Abraham is so great as the voice of Khonshu!

[@James-gd1bj]

anton mogrt(midnight man) was supposed to be an important character but the actor Gaspard Ulliel passed away.. so maybe we won't see him again

[@rileyribble6733]

Another EXCELLENT episode! With lots of indication towards a 3rd alter, aka Jake Lockley. Also, although I can understand why some would think Marc or Jake killed Layla’s dad, I don’t think that’ll be the case. If it’s anything like how the comics played out (which the references to it so far seem to be pretty accurate to it) then I have a feeling I know who did kill him but I’m not gonna say for potential spoilers sake. Those who have read MK comics will know who I’m talking about

[@iloveporkandchicken4718]

If you think Marc is not a good person, wait until you meet the 3rd alter

[@rashadwalker8218]

Exactly

[@Ant-bm1qk]

Khonshu is very complex. At some points he comes off as caring of Marc/Steven but then he threatens him with Layla and treats the dead kid like a joke. He’s also been through some things as a God..

[@LuckDragonLair]

Khonshu is, like anyone, filled with contradictions... and with being a god who has been around for so long that human lives begin to hold less value because they're so fleeting. However his being and purpose is to guard and protect the innocent and travellers of the night... He just does it in a colder, more ruthless way, as someone who also believes in his 'cause' and the ends justify the means. :-)

[@TheBenperri]

I'm loving this show so much.

[@adrianburchell8075]

if the X-Men are back in the Marvel universe, it would be cool to see Prof X trying to sort out Marc Spector's mental personas

[@funnylilgalreacts]

That would be fun/insane 😬

[@TankInATree]

I thought the cape was done very well. It does not act like regular fabric, but has a surreal and supernatural feel to it. Of all the capes in all of fiction, I gotta say that being the avatar of the god of the moon, is one of the better reasons for ones cape to not look completely natural.

[@spacemaster13]

Damn we’re already half way through the show 😭

[@funnylilgalreacts]

I know I have no idea how they’re gonna wrap this up!

[@JW666]

There is another personality named Jake Lockley, who in the comics is a cab driver, who could be the 3rd more violent personality in this show (?)

[@brianbortner421]

I'm not sure if anyone ever posted this or not... The reason Marc thought he had things under control, and then Steven suddenly returned is the blip/snap. When Thanos snapped his fingers, all of Marc's Alts were removed as part of the 50% of living things, and for 5 years, he was living alone in his own head again. I believe Marc was "alone" when he was recruited by Khonshu.

[@declanArdmore]

If Layla dealt with artifacts in Madripoor she must know Sharon Carter

[@KthulhuXxx]

I don''t know if you watched Iron Fist, but Moon Knight is giving me vibes of a character that was in that show's second season: Mary Walker (Typhoid Mary in the comics). She had three personalities in that show: "Mary" was a kind and gentle person, "Walker" was a ruthless mercenary, and it became obvious that that was a third personality acting as a vigilante serial killer. Pretty easily maps to Stephen, Marc, and ???

[@JADTO]

Cape looks amazing

[@kevinlowe4953]

[@AidantheLegend]

Early notification squad reporting in ✨ Dude this just got so much cooler... it makes sense that the other gods would all have their own avatar each tho. So I guess Khonshu doesn't wanna abandon humanity like the rest of the gods did, but his flippant, erratic behaviour and short temper doesn't really help anyone truly trust him...

I think the animation on the cape looked odd because it isn't intended to look like fabric exactly. Because it kind of moves on its own in a way like when he flings the bullets back. :-)

[@MCouldhavebeen-lu4jx3bt4p]

Anton was played by Gaspard Ulliel who unfortunately died as a result of a skiing accident in January.

[@MCouldhavebeen-lu4jx3bt4p]

The French actor was known for his roles as Hannibal Lecter in Hannibal Rising, and Yves St Laurent from the 2014 biopic, other work including being the first male ambassador for Chanel, as the face of Bleu de Chanel, another neat thing about him is that in his home country of France he was sort of a gay icon, a role he embraced stating in an interview in 2009 that it didn’t bother him at all. His ex-girlfriend, a French model and singer by the name of Gaëlle Pietri, with whom he shared a son, announced the family would honour his memory by donating to the Tara Ocean Foundation a non-governmental French organisation dedicated to raising awareness of climate change and the current ecological crisis on the oceans, she explained that, and I quote “Gaspard was a diver, sensitive to climate issues and concerned about the protection of underwater biodiversity,” and that “he would have liked the momentum generated by his death to go to the defence of these causes that were close to his heart.”

"We want you to punish that guy before he commits the crime of releasing a god who punishes people for crimes they haven't committed.....yet......" Hard to see why that didn't play out in our favor.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

Valid point

[@rashadwalker8218]

Oscar is a fantastic actor but he's not the only one killing it in this show. I dont know the actress name who's playing Layla but she's doin a damn good job as is Ethan hawke

[@funnylilgalreacts]

Ethan Hawke is surprising me. I don’t know why that is either, he’s always been a great actor.

[@3mrwright]

Soooo...I'm starting to think this 3rd person might be the original one. I also think this 3rd person may have killed Layla's father. I don't think Marc is aware of this though. I think Marc is just pushing her away still cause of the Konshu threat. Telling her that she doesn't know him & she never did is definitely a "push her away" move. Konshu must be aware of the 3rd person since it seems he can communicate with both Marc & Steven. I don't think Konshu wanted them to know about each other. That being said, I think the next episode may start with this 3rd persona being the one that wakes up after being knocked out. Thanks for your reaction & I really enjoy your thoughts about the show. See you next time, cheers.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

This is so interesting. The fact that Mark doesn’t know about another alternate personality is actually pretty terrifying. But it’ll be great to see that story play out if it happens

[@valdornas]

I will defend Marc always. I love Steven, but Marc is the one that always suffered everything.

[@JasonC-uw1hz]

In the last episode when Steven was taken by those two cops they said that Marc was wanted in connection for the execution style murder of an archeologist, could that have been Layla’s father?

[@funnylilgalreacts]

That what I was thinking

[@oxhine]

Hey, funnylilgal! Well, Jake Lockley has finally shown up! We still haven't met him but the rumor is that he set up the date with the docent at the steak house in Episode 1. The tribunal in the interior of Giza with the avatars was very cool but Horus didn't do his due diligence. He's a hawk-headed god for Pete's sake! How hard is it to do a fly-by? Mark didn't kill Layla's father but he was partnered with the man who did: his nemesis, Raoul Bushman! Raoul also left Mark a corpse himself until Khonshu revived him. Anton Mogart is known as the art thief Midnight Man in the comics. He was played by Gaspard Ulliel who passed away after production wrapped in a skiing accident. Absolute best moment was the scrolling starscapes as Khonshu took the universe for a spin! Trippy stuff. Layla looks at Steven and thinks that he and Mark together make the perfect man. However, she's yet to meet Jake! If you like The Mummy movies, you must check out "John Carter" if you haven't seen it! Edgar Rice Burroughs' sword-and-planet fiction adapted beautifully. Criminally underappreciated!

[@pillar81]

I’m pretty sure if Khonshu mentioned the scarab, the other gods would have been more open to believing his accusations.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

And if he wasn’t yelling like a crazy person

[@JADTO]

Idk if we'll see the other gods outside of their Avatars. They're trapped in the "Overvoid". Khonshu is trapped in a different void that the gods banished him too. Ammit is in another void as well

[@runshouse]

Feel better!

[@MikeWood]

I saw your reaction get posted last night but it was too late to watch it. But it gave me something to look forward to today. The benadryl filter will pass. It is likely more noticeable to you than us. :) I am digging all the Egyptian elements too. :)

[@funnylilgalreacts]

Oh the Benadryl haze real 😩 maybe I’ll share the screenshots of the text that I sent to my boss. I’ve been rereading them and just cracking up. I’m loving that were in Egypt and I hope that we can kind of get a little bit more on the rest of the guards. The avatars are cool and all but I want to see the gods!

[@neil7326]

I like that you appreciate great acting and great shots. I’d recommend the movie Split (2016), it is shot really well and James McAvoy’s acting is just perfect.

[@CThunder2000]

Khonshu was DEFINITELY funny at that moment. LOL

[@CountryMusicMann]

Ammit isn't the Egyptian god of death or of judgement. Ammit is the god of destruction and oblivion.

[@katesullivan4707]

The third alter in the comics is Jake and the show seems to be making him more dangerous than he is there. I suspect we will meet him next episode and we will worry about Layla because he likely can pull off one of the others. A thought I had aftet thinking about Harrow's end speech is that maybe he has a bigger goal than resurrection but maybe its taking Ammit's power more like Bast gives independence to Black Panther. Plus, he isn't her avatar but he seems like he has two of her instruments. And I could see that might have been Khonshu's goal for a bit, to eliminate her and have his justice be the only one, but something changed his mind.

[@genghisgalahad8465]

Whoa! (Edit: not really, except one or two, at this point...) Folks be telling you the series in advance early on in the series, which is totally gobsmacking. Like this is what's gonna happen in later episodes of miniseries! Why, people, why? Makes one wanna turn back the cosmic clock like Khonshu did.

First of all, hope you feel better - I'm fighting the pollen monster myself. I'm wondering if the third personality will be Jake like in the books. Even if it is, doubt he'll be a cab driver since they've changed Steven's book background substantially.

While a retooled Jake (from the comic) is likely the 3rd alt, I hesitate to get 100% behind the idea because of the Mephisto predictions in WandaVision. The show might have already told us the name of this third alt since the museum guard kept calling Steven "Scotty". Doubtful, but possible.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

I find it odd that we can like someone(harrow) whom is wanting or has the ability to feed peoples souls to entity like Ahmet. So too is it odd that some people find distrust in someone whom is obviously trying to avoid saying that he died probably in the same incident that killed(maybe) Layla's father and the rest of the dig crew. It seems to me that it would be very hard to tell someone you love that you had died along side her father but was resurrected by a god like Khonsu for the sole purpose to punish evil people.
