Moon Knight - Season 1 Eps 5 Reaction

[@foulrot]

Oscar Issac deserves all the awards; and once they give him all the awards, make new awards and give him those as well.

[@Neverland-wt5kc]

400%

[@kpearce7961]

Yup. I frequently forgot I was watching one actor. And I had to pause and cry. You can't expect much more than that.

[@zenbeast19]

Just give him all the Emmys. Can one person win best actor and best supporting actor for the same show?

[@glacieractivity]

For the first time in history, two Emmys are needed for best lead actor in a limited series. Two awards. For two roles. In the same episode of the same series. To a single actor. If not they will have to give "Marc" best lead and "Steven" the best support (or vice versa) awards. Astonishing. And hello writers room. That was not bad performance either.

[@shanebovell6733]

It truly was a 10/10 performance.

[@ty85207]

"Travelers of the night" is Khonshu's way of referring to "the souls of the innocent". As the god of the moon, one of his many titles was "the Protector of Night Travelers" because people would offer up prayers for safe travels during night time.

[@pReviewd]

Oh awesome. Thanks. 😬

[@Rated314]

Also because evil, narratively speaking, is done under the cover of night. Travelers of the Night is speaking to those that are vulnerable.

[@DJosAmmel]

Before electricity, nighttime was the most dangerous time to travel - and lots of people had to. Robbery was extremely common, especially on highways. That's where we get the term "highway robbery."

[@Rated314]

@@DJosAmmel Oh Osiris Isis! Why did it just occur to me, that we already covered this... and a little common sense. Living in a desert, there was no easy way to navigate during the day... as well as it being much more temperate at night, and the stars for navigation... I'd venture that most traveling happened at night

I got the impression that Taweret looked like she was out of her depth like she's doing something she dosent normally do as it should be Anubis doing the judging and sailing the boat. She came across as inexperienced. I'm guessing Anubis got himself locked up. Makes me think the Ennead is corrupt. Why would you lock up the judge of the dead?

[@anthonyleecollins9319]

I thought this, too. That's why she had to refer to little index cards.

[@alexkramerblogs]

Yeah, I think there is a jackal-headed statuette in the end credits with the others.

[@ysac4849]

I agree. I think the last episode will reveal why so many gods besides Konshu are imprisoned.

[@JamesThePokemonHunter]

I mean even if she did do it, it is something she normally wouldn't do. She states nobody has been their in a while. Nobody believes in the Egyptian gods anymore so who tf would go there. Steven and Marc work for one so they believe

[@jonasquinn7977]

I think in Mythology it is Taweret’s job to guide people to the afterlife but I can easily see her being forced to pull double duty as guide and judge because Anubis got locked away

[@teresaluz975]

For me, Steven was always his own person. The fact that a god grabbed his heart to be weighted confirms that he has a soul of his own. I think that Marc doesn't see Steven as a made up person, he cares about him. I hope that Steven comes back somehow. I don't think marvel will go the route of getting rid of the alter, that doesn't seem what they're doing. Loved your reaction.

[@Solutad]

Especially not when they made the brilliant move of introducing us to Steven first, so that by the time we knew he was an alter we already viewed him as a person unto himself and not a symptom.

[@chabotal3133]

I think when the other gods realize they were right they will bring steven back

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

Steven is the replacement for his brother. That was always the core of the trauma...his mother blamed him for the very pain he himself also felt. "It's YOUR fault that we all hurt now, YOUR fault that YOU hurt now!" He needed someone, and no one was there. So he turned to his only option, to create a new brother that could stand between him and his mother, who could be a source of love and happiness in Marc's horrific life and a barrier against it. And he chose he and his brother's childhood hero to base it on...Dr. Steven Grant.

[@TonyTylerDraws]

I think Marc saw him as a person. He promised to go away, be locked in limbo, after everything was over. Him crying out for Steven at the end felt genuine

[@KS-xk2so]

I think the point of the 2 hearts is the same reason why DID isn't called multiple personality disorder anymore. I believe its been theorized that alters are all fully fledged people, at least mentally, so from a "soul" perspective, why wouldn't they each have their own heart to judge? It's not a physical heart really.

[@dh-c1717]

Apparently Kevin Fiege said Moon Knight would be brutal. But, most thought that meant violent and bloody. After this episode, as well written acted and shot as it was, I may be in their camp. Because this broke me.

[@pratama_jr]

It was so brutal that can make our heart ripped apart

[@Yuuichikun]

Gotta say that transition to the trigger warning was immaculate. Well done, Adam!

[@testfire3000]

I second that!

[@sleeper-cassie]

I’ve watched four or five reactions to this episode so far, and this is the only one of the bunch to include a trigger warning. Thanks for doing that, guys.

[@aBloodyMonk3y]

Oscar Isaac acted his BUTT OFF this episode! Couple of things: 1) I'm happy they established Marc as the main personality but damn they made it so sad. 2) I'm happy they showed how much Marc and Steven need each other. Even though Marc is a fighter and ready to kill if he needs to, he still needs Steven in his life to balance out all the negative feelings he has. And Steven needs Marc to protect them both. Marc protects them physically while Steven handles them emotionally. All in all, we love a hero with a tragic damn backstory that is very messed up.

[@yodaguru]

Enlightening and sad episode. By the end of it you just wanted to give Marc a hug because of the trauma he suffered as a child. Give Oscar Isaac all the awards for his multilayered performance.

[@humanoid251]

They almost Good Will Hunting’d us when Steven kept saying “it wasn’t your fault” I was actually getting teary. If he had said it one or two more times I most likely would’ve been a weeping mess by the end. But damn this episode was so freaking heavy but so incredibly well done.

[@kaitlinmills6412]

I SWEAR that was Jake near the start! Neither Marc nor Steven have ever acted like that before, and didn't he have a New York accent? But seriously, such an incredible piece of art. I have to give it up to Marvel and especially Oscar Isaac for carrying this show on his back. This was incredibly dark, painful and equally cathartic when Steven let Marc forgive himself. Spectacular ❤ PS bring back Layla :)

I thought exact same thing, Jake had the broken nose, and you could tell he was unhinged...Mark is to collected usually to act like that and his voice sounds different.

We’ve seen the 3rd personality multiple times this season and we just didn’t know it. There’s been a couple times where Oscar slipped into a NJ/NY type accent that I always clocked but sort of attributed to Marc. I can’t wait to go back through all the episodes and see if I can’t pick it out. The creeping taxi in the background of the “It’s not your fault” scene is a dead giveaway for anyone who has read the comics.

[@aysenursahin9953]

The same thing happened when Steven was looking at Alexander the Great's sarcophagus in the previous episode. For a brief moment he behaved very differently and his reflection had a mustache.

The only thing more emotional to me in the Marvel Universe was Black Widow. The intro dealing with trafficking, abusing, and holding no value for women and girls with that haunting version of Teen Spirit alone was powerful.

[@aricaj.3006]

The "it's not your fault" scene didn't hit me as hard during initial viewing but after sitting with it for a few hours and reading other fan reactions I'm having a delayed response and feel like I need to go have a good ugly cry. What a fantastically powerful episode, it's right up there with the end of Wandavision and Bucky's deprogramming scene in TFATWS for me in terms of being a painful yet cathartic gut punch. Marvel and Disney have been knocking it out of the park with addressing different types of trauma lately and as hard as it is to watch sometimes I'm so thankful that they're validating people in a way some of us have never been validated before, and doing a stellar job of explaining these concepts to people who may not have the experience to understand them

[@DP-nl4uq]

As dark and tragic as Marc's backstory is, it is was drew me to the character. He is such a tortured soul and his D.I.D is was a result making his life a constant struggle with his own mind. I know people compare him to Batman but Bruce Wayne can't touch what Marc had to go through in his life. In the comics the roles the of the other personalities are a tad different but still the similarities are very few, also I believe that the Marc with the scar on his nose was Jake, his voice was different and I believe his coming to being is going to be explained by it is the side of Marc that either enjoyed killing the criminals or how he coped with doing the act so often

As a life-long Bat-fan whose Marvel time started when the MCU gave her best friend a reason to expand her Marvel knowledge, it seems to me that the Moon Knight-Batman comparison isn't about the actual characters, per se, so much as that both of them inhabit a world where sanity is often questioned. It's not the usual place for superhero fare, which tends to live in a more black and white, good or bad kinda world...

As a person who has real-life triggers and trauma stemming from an angry mother banging on my locked door as a kid, I was extremely impressed with Oscar's performance in this episode; the way he acted Marc/Steven being triggered made me feel seen. I have CPTSD, not DID, but that sensation of the whole world being out of control and just barely clinging to your sanity by a desperate thread is not a lived experience I'd wish on anyone. When you're at that point, what you desperately want is for someone, anyone, to help you unconditionally, and Steven jumping in and being there for Marc wholly meant so much to me. I hope they rescue him. I think he and Marc need each other.

[@thedarkknight2221]

Just when I thought I couldn’t come to love and care for a character as much as I did for Wanda in Wandavision, now I love Marc Spector AND Steven Grant just as much. I did not expect Moon Knight to make me cry as hard as episode 8 of Wandavision, but here I am, with a eyes red and raw from wiping tears away. It’s easy to dismiss Steven as just a “stress ball” but no, he is as much of a person now as Marc. And I hope somehow he comes back.

in a break down of this episode, they pointed out that in the office scene with dr harrow, when marc/stephen has the bandage on his nose, that is actually the Jake alter, the voice is different than Marc or Stephen, and in the comics Marc was a boxer that would often have bandages like this so maybe in the MCU it's Jake that's a boxer. So in terms of formation of the alters, it could be Marc is the original, stephen to hide from the pain with a loving mother, and Jake to take the abuse which would be why Jake is the more agressive one, but that left Marc to deal with all the guilt. In this episode when the scales wouldn't balance I kept expecting them to have to find Jake..... I hate to see Stephen go but it makes more sense, as he forgave himself he no longer needed the Stephen alter and it could be re-integrated.

This episode is so deep and psychological but most of all it felt real and a full on character study and it didn’t shy away from showing the dark side of reality and i respect the hell out of Marvel for that, it is by far my favorite episode of any of the Disney+ shows hats off to Oscar Isaac as he did an oscar worthy performance this episode.

This episode brought me back to standing in between my parents when my dad was being abusive. I was balling😭!!!! I called my mother sobbing and she is still confused on what caused it. She was like, “Who’s Mark?” 😂

A part you should have kept in here. When she mentions the intersection of planes. She directly mentions the ancestral plane. That is literally the plane black panther goes to. And black panther is the avatar of Bast the panther Egyptian god. (Also of all cats except lions)

She’s not just the panther god but the god of all cats except lions I think
