10:15 To clarify the "called himself Egyptian" thing, that's a reference to Ptolemy I. He was Alexander's general who took over Egypt after Alexander's death, and established the Ptolemaic Dynasty, which ruled there until Rome conquered it. Though he and his ruling line were Macedonian (including the famous Cleopatra), they took care to publicly identify themselves as Egyptian and continue Egyptian ruling customs, in order to better secure their rule. So it serves as a little hint to history buffs about the identity of the tomb that's about to be revealed, since a Pharaoh openly proclaimed as Macedonian would have to be Alexander.

[@jayden.188]

Fuck I love Egyptian history

[@jonjohns8145]

I think it's actually a reference to Alexander the Great when he was in Egypt. He became SO enamored with Egyptian culture that he became convinced that he was some kind of lost Egyptian Pharaoh. Even got some Egyptian Priests to proclaim him the son of Ra (check out Overly Sarcastic Bio of Alexander the Great for more details).

I honestly can’t blame Layla for confronting Marc while they were still in the tomb even putting aside the potential irrationality that finding out your husband might have killed your father would cause because he has made absolutely no secret of his desire to leave her behind once all this is over and even if he said they’d talk about it later she has literally no reason to trust him on that

I didn't see any of them arguing that position. It appeared to me as though they were talking about the character of *Layla.* And even more specifically how annoying it is to have that tired and IMO frustrating trope wherein characters stop to talk about something when they are quite aware they'll be captured and likely killed, and so they should instead _run now, talk later._ Sure, one can make an excuse for either position. But IMO *Layla* has already proven herself quite capable _and pragmatic._ Even while under emotional duress. Just dealing with the *Mark/Steven* situation immediately following her finding *Marc* after his being gone for 6 months. And again, it's a tired and frustrating trope IMO. That's how I saw it anyway. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Birthday888]

@@CaesiusX At the same time, there is a limit to how much stress someone can take and still remain pragmatic and logical. Suspecting that your ex-husband, who you still have feelings for, only initially approached you because he was maybe involved in the death of your father, is a *lot* to process. Then you add the fact that she's been dealing with his Moon Knight business, then he disappeared with scarab and sent her divorce papers, *and then* she finds out that he has DID and never confided her about it.... Honestly, I'm kinda blown away about how Layla has remained relatively in control for how much shit has suddenly gone down in her life.

I disagree with Eric when he said he expected Moon Knight to be different and not follow tropes. I think there is a good balance between the crazy weird stuff and the grounded adventure part. It is also more interesting when we suddenly get the asylum part in the last 10 minutes after the tomb instead of throughout the show.

[@carldelamarter941]

With a lot of Layla’s behaviour, it is usually a result of Marc’s mistakes. Sure that may not have been the best time to confront him about her father, but the best time was long ago. Probably before he married her. Same thing with the scarab, Marc chose not to keep her in the loop. He tries to protect her, but mostly does so by taking her agency away. At she is so headstrong that she will not be a damsel. So while it was predictable, I think it synergies with the story a lot.

In the psych hospital, I was sort of questioning if the whole thing was real or just in Marc's head, but as soon as the hippo woman came in, I instantly recognized Tawaret, the Egyptian goddess of healing, women, and childbirth, who typically resides in the depths of the Duat. As soon as she came in, I was like, "Ha! So it is real!"

[@franklyncharles6364]

If you've never seen Oscar Isaac sing and play guitar about Hippopotamus with Jimmy, watch it😂😂. Then his acting at the end of this episode is soooo much better.

[@ZariDV]

In reference to Rick's point, I don't know if there is any amount of training she could have had to prepare her for finding out that her husband potentially murdered her father when her father's death is something we've seen her struggle with deeply for the entire show. She gets emotional just talking about him. And Marc has been lying to her face every time she brought it up. I don't think he would have told her the truth if his back wasn't up against a wall and he was panicking too much to come up with a convincing enough half-truth to get her to drop it. He certainly tried but she kept pushing because she'd listened to with Arthur had to say on the matter. It makes sense for what we've seen of her character so far. It doesn't help that her husband is currently trying to divorce her after disappearing and being presumed dead for months so the trust is already shaky.

[@KnightshadeGaming]

The hippo at the end is Taweret, goddess of rebirth and life which someone else pointed out. But also, the asylum seems like a home for elderly or misguided gods and deities. There are several allusions in the production design to say this and Taweret is there to help them through living again or remembering themselves again. I'm basing this off the Kane Chronicles which has an eerily similar situation as depicted in this episode. I believe everything happening is real, just in a weird place in the world right now like the afterlife.

[@OnePieceTheorist]

I have a theory: When Marc got shot by his partner, he got revived by Khonshu, but in the process he developed 2 personalities, apart from his original one - One personality is Steven, the archeologist from that TV-show and he was based on the personality of Layla's father because of the guilt that he couldn't save him, which explains why he's into Egypt and their mythology and why he works in the museum and why Layla seems to like him, and the other personality was based on his partner that mercilessly killed the archeologists

[@renx81]

I like this theory. DID usually develops as a result of childhood trauma, but I suppose that event could have been sufficiently traumatic for him as well.

[@harasnicole]

This series has me in a chokehold, so I've lived every episode up to this point. I've also only read the first issue of Lemire's run, so it's pretty cool that I was able to recognize that inspiration when we're in Marc's headspace. I also really love how Oscar Isaac has differentiated between Marc and Steven to the most minute details, like how their screams are even different (Steven's more open and vulnerable, Marc's more closed off and aggressive).

My first Moon Knight comic was the 2016 run by Jeff Lemire and Greg Smallwood, which was the story of Marc being trapped in a mental hospital and trying to figure out what is and isn’t real about him. It’s a really fantastic comic and seeing the show take so much inspiration from it (i.e. Ammit, Bobbi and Billy, the mental hospital, etc) has been very exciting to me.

[@BewareofBordome]

When Harrow was a doctor, he was describing bipolar disorder, not DID, when talking about mania and depression. Perhaps Marc has DID and bipolar disorder, and this experience confirms the other diagnosis.

[@brycelloyd3592]

DID sometimes gets misdiagnosed as bipolar disorder. That might be what happened.

[@Frank_Ditch]

maybe thats just what Harrow personally has, so he was trying to speak from his experience, even if it is different

[@kunglaoshat1250]

@@Frank_Ditch If Harrow is bipolar then that might play into his resentment of Khonshu. He told the other gods that Marc was “unwell” and that Khonshu was taking advantage of him. Obviously Harrow was mainly trying to discredit Marc and Khonshu, but It’s possible Harrow really does think that Khonshu takes advantage of vulnerable people. Part of Harrow’s hatred of Khonshu could be because he feels that Khonshu took advantage of him when he was struggling with his own mental illness.

[@sebastiangongora5336]

I’m sorry but this episode reminds me more of the uncharted then the actual movie

[@MacCheekz1990]

All the people in the "asylum" were people he met. The two people who tried to restrain him were the cops who came to his apartment.

[@Rainmanking]

Yeah it’s weird they didn’t notice that at first. Think one person asked if these were past avatars for Konshu

[@twstf8905]

I'm baffled that, out of ALL FOUR of you guys, nobody caught on to those people inside the weird "mind scape" institution place, at the end, were all the same people Steven has been interacting with since the first episode. "Donna," (holding a stuffed bug," the gold painted street performer guy is the Bingo caller, the two MI5 agents being the two orderlies, etc. Every other reaction/review video I've seen, so far, they're catching on pretty much immediately, and for some reason you guys are like; "Wuo are all those people? Just invented to fill out that world in his mind?" "Are those ten people other personalities?!" And nobody else speaks up! (I'm surprised, because of all people, I would have thought you guys would have caught them all.) And, you guys did start figuring it out eventually lol admittedly. So; 👍

[@Lupin788]

Did you watch their discussion of the episode? They did talk about all the different actors from earlier episodes that showed up in the psych ward scene.

[@TheBrokenruby]

I’m loving this show so much.

[@xl081]

The last 15mins of the show felt like a episode of Legion. I was just waiting for the Shadow King 😅

[@run_sun]

Well, if it is Shadow King posed as Lenny Busker (played by Aubrey Plaza), then yes! Her performance was too good to forget

[@iwillcry]

I also don't really care for "emotional vulnerability slows them down so the bad guys can catch up to them" moments, and it feels like you see those scenes a lot with female characters and viewers blame it on the character for being overly sentimental, when most likely a man wrote the scene that way. Not the biggest fan of "oh look the woman can't think rationally" scenes. I'm not too pressed about it, sure her dad really mattered to her, it's just not my favourite trope, so I agree with Eric.

[@RealmOfUnknown]

Part of me really wished the whole Asylum thing was maybe woven in a bit earlier. Or maybe teased a bit. I get that they are streamlining things a bit with this series. But in episode 1 (maybe early episode 2) were the only parts where it genuinely felt like “what even is true here?” Rather than just being “oh okay, wacky MCU dream stuff” Still very happy to see it though

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

I actually LOVED the last few minutes. Really questioning what's real and what isn't. I want to find more movies and stuff like that and I love the fact that it could all be in his head and he's really just insane, even if he isn't, it's cool and fun to think about. I loved it.

[@Imad-gk1gw]

Watch the leftovers hbo series. Its insans

[@darrellpowell6042]

1 hour is TOO much discussion. People have lives folks. Can you get it down to 30 mins?

[@NorthernLaw_]

That cliche "we can talk about this later let's go" was pretty dumb yeah. Layla should have just left

[@Chris-yv5ob]

I would just like to point out one of the saddest things so far about this show is that I assume while they’ve been off on all these adventures in Egypt, his goldfish has died of neglect or will soon.

[@HellfireComms]

This was a banger of an episode. Not sure which I liked more, episode one or t his.

[@jennnafish9746]

Once the aspect ratio changed the first thing I thought was “what is this Wandavision??” This show constantly makes me confused but honestly I love that about it since it feels like the characters (or at least some of the characters) are just as confused as we are. A similar concept to Wandavision only this time better because in that show it was more like I was just confused and the characters kept moving forward after shoving some lame answers to your questions down your throat. Moonknight seems to be much more aware of their audience and conscious of what they’re showing us and at what time

[@zzskyninjazz1821]

Or….. Konshuous

[@thebwoods15]

I was so surprised when it transitioned to the hospital. I thought perhaps Jake was going to come to the front and fly into a murderous rage. I don't have his disorder, but I once had an out of the blue seizure, and I remember slowly waking up in the ambulance, and I was still a little "foggy" at the hospital. So I related a little to his experience there. I don't know why, but I feel like I relate to Marc and Steven, not just in a sympathetic or empathetic way, but like I have actually experienced what he is going through. I once did something really stupid, and I ended up labeled with a disorder. That situation completely changed me forever. Sometimes I wish I could just return to how I was before I screwed up. I guess I can understand how someone could develop another personality just to be free of the darkness in their past.

[@Belhade]

Jake's the one in the sarcophagus they didn't open.

[@samanthaannlevasseur4259]

please for the love of god watch the video of Oscar singing the hippo song on jimmy fallon! i would love to see your reaction!

[@TheGreaterDane]

As a Kane Chronicles fan, seeing Tawaret was so cool! In some myths, she presides over a house of night where old, forgotten gods go to rest

[@Corvid76]

Can't believe not a single one of you recognized even one of the people in the white room scene. They were all actors that have played roles in the show up to this point. The co-workers from his job at the museum, the gold living statue man, the two corrupt cops that took him to Harrow and so on. Not to mention all the visual clues like the cupcakes, the goldfish and such.

[@Nekotaku_TV]

Didn't catch more than the boss from work, and didn't notice the golden guy. But yeah the rest I'm surprised they didn't notice...

[@Lupin788]

Not in the immediate reaction but later in the discussion, they did talk about this and pointed out a lot of the actors.

[@kymerahYT]

I really wish people fully watched the video before commenting.

[@AnkleBiter]

Seeing Marc disabled (even though it was just in his mind) was really hard to watch for me :( Going from able bodied to highly disabled is just so heart breaking

[@Kidapollo92]

In Egyptian mythology sekhmet was ras general and the Dora in black panther wear her colors The story of Sekhmet, the Egyptian feline warrior goddess associated with both plague and healing, is considered by some to be one of the oldest vampire tales. Legend holds that the sun god, Ra, sent his daughter Sekhmet down to punish humankind for their disobedience. But after Sekhmet couldn't stop drinking blood amid her slaughter, Ra quelled her planet-draining thirst by dyeing a bunch of beer red (basically, she guzzled it all and slept for three days). Sekhmet and bast share the same soul the tribes of wakanda pray to bast.

[@iceman10129]

Eric pretending he doesn't know the God's name! What a good LOST friend. Suraj would be proud!

[@jasonwynn8053]

Did you also notice that in the mental ward Marc was in his favorite spot …not were he could talk to himself, but over there the window is gates and open those gates toooooo reeds ( HEAVEN )…Marc is in “LIMBO”!! That is why Hippopotamus Goddess can bring Marc back 🤪🤣😂

[@mickeymouse7726]

I love the Indiana Jones and National Treasure vibes of this Moon Knight show it's genuinely really cool man

[@mario2montano]

The only reason why I knew that Egyptian god was the Kane chronicles

[@LolixBelle]

Same, the asylum reminded me of her home for the senile gods and thought that if Steven/Marc died they epsould be in the duat and in the books her place is the first stop, so happy to see her tho!

[@mario2montano]

@@LolixBelle that was my first thought when I saw her!!!!

[@Emma_14]

really cool to see Marc's inner world be displaced in the last 15 or so minutes! Awesome DID representation

[@ot7biasedmashups]

I don't think it's actually his inner world tho because of Taweret 🤔 if she didn't show up I would have thought so too but since she is here.... That must mean that Marc is dead (maybe even longer than we think rn) and didn't make it to the field of reeds like the girl in ep 1 said. Taweret was forced not to interact with humanity anymore so she takes care of spirits that get lost in the underworld and even God's that are being forgotten. That's why everyone is like an empty shell of themselves. Steven and Marc would ofc also be separate because they're two different spirits 😊

[@Emma_14]

@@ot7biasedmashups yeah maybe idk what her "part" in all of it is just yet. Maybe he is imagining her? Maybe she's somehow can be in his inner world? Maybe the show is bending the rules about inner worlds? (though I doubt it) who knows but the fact that marc and Steven can interact and another alter was clearly there makes me believe in some capacity this place is a small part of his inner world. maybe not all of it.

[@maxxandubar503]

Loved the reactions. Other reactions I’ve seen haven made me think the viewers are more excited about the scenes being straight from the comics than the actual scene and acting.

[@saberstrike000]

I was just imagining Lalya violently dismembering a mummy while Steven cheers/cowers from the sideline "Doing great, darling!" Khonshu's voice is pleased "Now you see why she would make a good avatar?" and Mark's reflection screams "she is a delicate flower and must be protected at al costs!"

[@VBane]

It's a matter of balancing "Now is not a good time for this" and "Can I function with this left unresolved"

[@SpaceTacos60316]

THANK YOU for taking us through the asylum scene in slow-motion!! So helpful! @38:18 - for some reason I have a feeling that guy on the LEFT in the glasses could be the 3rd alter, Jake. I can easily be wrong, but I have that feeling right now. The lady drawing the Khonshu bird is NOT the fake passport lady - different faces. The guy pushing the cupcake cart = Bek from the Senfu sarcophagus fight scene w/Layla == she stabbed him w/her gold moon necklace. Also, y'all ask some AWESOME questions!! Love it! Fun Fact: Oscar Isaac is acting w/his brother in scenes where he needs to be duplicated. Part of me thinks Marc may have also tossed Steven down that shaft too. LOLOL Hippo = Goddess Taweret. The Goddess Taweret is mentioned by Steven with a "V" in episode 1 when he was talking to Donna about the Ennead and she said to hand her the box of hippos. He corrected her and said the hippos were Taweret. QUESTION: Wondering is there a 3rd Moon Knight suit if the 3rd guy, Jake, takes over and changes into Moon Knight?! Marc = hood/cape; Steven = dope ass 3pc suit; Jake = ????

[@s-clone8964]

Holy crap that's like the best ending for an episode, both personalities side-by-side freaking out in their own unique way XD.

[@EchanteDante]

I think they did a great job with this episode…I love everything about it. Sure there were some silly none sense decisions but it’s tv…if people were logical all the time we would never have conflict or tension.

[@cteal2018]

There were cupcakes, like in the truck in the episode 1 chase. His boss at the gift shop is one of the patients....there are a ton of Easter eggs from the first 3 episodes in the "Mental Ward"
