Oscar Isaac is such a good addition to the MCU, his facal expressions when he comes in and out is so awesome.

[@madtitan0825]

I’m still in disbelief we got freaking Oscar Isaac in the mcu, I recently watched Ex Machina and he’s so damn good in that, also Dune and so on

[@damagecontrol7]

facial (small typo)

[@tonyabrookes9931]

He's AMAZING!

[@themetalchica]

I don't care how stupid it sounds, but Steven standing in his doorway holding a heart took me right back to the opening and the description of mummification, and needing the heart to yadda yadda. That was fantastic imagery.

[@CMKseven]

Good catch! I agree that was intentional symbolism. Ancient Egyptians believe the soul resided in the heart.

[@Souledex]

​@@CMKseven That is a vast oversimplification. They believed the part of you that was the seat of the "moral" (like order vs chaos) part of your soul was in your heart. They believe your soul and body had like 9 parts in total and even your body after death was like a part they had to remove put together with a part that leaves when you die. Its incredibly complicated and also changed over the different parts of their civilization. Even before the pharoahs it was incredibly complex.

[@funfunfun3624]

Maybe the reason they keep steven as a personality is because he is the heart

[@Souledex]

@@funfunfun3624 lol, the heart is the part that makes the decisions. Which is why it's judged. If anything it would be his Shadow, becuase the other ones clearly represent his effectiveness, his name recognition, his magic/intellect and his physical capacity. Egyptian mythology isn't big on feelgoods, compassion, madness or ignorance.

[@themetalchica]

@@funfunfun3624 Love that. Just love it.

I'd never heard of this character before this show, but this first episode is already making me like him. Moon Knight's costume looks amazing! I'm excited to see what happens next. Thanks for the reaction!

Just a little bit of vocabulary about DID/OSDD : A system = Many people inside one brain, one body An alter = Someone living inside a system (we don't say personality) Fronting = Taking the front (control of the body) Switch = When an alter leave the front and another one take the front. Dissociation = Feeling of being distant from oneself. Come usually (but not always) before a switch. Not being offended, but I see you're struggling with the words. Thought I'd help, even if I'm a singlet (not a system. There's only one person, me, inside my brain). I do have many friends from lots of different DID/OSDD systems though. I'm open to answer questions.

[@aspirespire8847]

I have DID and to me it’s just people my subconscious created to cope or past personalities that Ive held on to I’ve had eight personalities for six years but now have seven because I lost my five year old self a few months ago since then I’ve had more control over my triggers except for when I’m highly stressed or see my parents

I'm impressed with Oscar Isaac's acting. The last thing I saw him in was in Dune where he played Duke Leto Atreides. He's a completely different person here. Wow!

[@tonyabrookes9931]

Check out his other movies - he's so talented!

[@aimeem]

I didn't even recognize him from Ex Machina or Annihilation. He looks different in everything he plays, which is unusual in such a handsome charismatic actor.

[@IceMetalPunk]

What I love about this is how much sense the villain makes. If Khonshu can have a human avatar on Earth, then why shouldn't the other gods be able to as well? And Arthur being fully committed because he truly believes Amit's judgment will guarantee protection from human-committed tragedies as long as someone acts upon it... definitely an antivillain, the best kind of villain. Plus, the way Amit's judgment failed on Steven, because he's innocent but Marc, in the same body, is not, so there's not one simple answer to whether he's innocent overall... brilliant.

[@DrWatson4]

As someone who knows literally nothing about Moon Knight this was a good first episode and I’m excited to see what happens next since I’m guessing we’ll start off with some moon knight action next week after that ending

[@amandadougherty6615]

I really liked the symmetry of Mark saving Steven, physically, but Steven also (seemingly) saving Mark (from judgment…cause we know Steven is sweet and timid but Mark is clearly violent).

[@CMKseven]

VERY interesting! I originally took it as; since he was under the "grace" of Khonsu already(and essentially can't die) he was exempt from judgment, BUT I think your right about Steven's pure heart offsetting Marc's bloodied past.

[@eugene12310mobile]

I think another aspect is that due to there technically being 3 to 5 people in the body they confuse the scale as to whose to judge

[@amandadougherty6615]

@@eugene12310mobile I did think about that…I do agree that, not knowing how it works, that’s totally possible. But I came down thinking Steven helped tip the scales a different way because it seems even if there were 3 alters, if they were all bad, they’d all weigh bad. Here it’s clear he and Marc are different, and he’s the innocent one of the two, so all the personalities would not all go the same way. But, that’s of course just my theory and you may also be right.

At the end when that creature was trying to escape but he pulled it back in to finish kicking it's ass 😂 It gave me vibes from the second Ace Ventura movie when Ace was beating up the crocodile lol. "Oh no you don't. Don't start what you can't finish!" Haha

As someone who does not know much about this character and did not read the comics, I absolutely loved this! Oscar Isaac's acting was phenomenal 👏

[@KingsBard]

The idea of Ammit(Ammut) being good or bad is interesting since, while certainly scary, they are usually portrayed as neutral.

[@diegoluna2549]

What a first episode!! I loved everything about it. Steven Grant is such a tortured soul, and I adore him. Ethan Hawke as a villain was surprising to see. I don't care that we saw Moon Knight for, like, 15 seconds. That ending was badass. Can't wait for more!

It's a completely different vibe to the rest of the MCU shows, but I really enjoyed it. The slow burn may turn people off but if you can get past that there's a lot of cool stuff to take in here.

[@unexon]

I was watching this episode and I didn't feel like I was watching Marvel. It has so different vibe than other MCU shows or movies.

[@TheChiraagG]

There's something still about it that feels MCU but like an interesting evolution to MCU as opposed to, for example, the Netflix Marvel vibes. It makes for a fantastic bit of potential for phase 4.

Moon Knight was the first physical comic I ever read, I was at a random KOA in Kansas and they sold comics and I just liked the look of Moon Knight and he was the only one I didn't recognize (They only had a Batman and Spiderman comic besides Moon Knight) became a really big fan of him, and I'm really excited about the "TV" show.

[@sadadokis2709]

Glad Oscar is playing this. He is so good. I am completely new to this character and it is very refreshing to know nothing beforehand. And I didn't even notice that there was no intro for the episode until the outro came.

[@AnxietyRat]

Pilot episodes often don't have an intro. I assume we will get one in episode 2.

[@ninanino321]

This was an amazing first episode!!!

[@lagnok]

Really enjoyed this. a lot. I dont think its THAT different to standard mcu shows or movies as much as people are saying-despite the horror and psycho drama influences it feels firmly entrenched in the mcu formula of comedy and action and centred around forward momentum in plot, but it IS very good and definitely seems to have established its own strong identity within the formula. It is definitely part of the formula I thought, but like with most of the other mcu shows thus far, is taking some stylistic and genre influences to further levels than it would have been allowed as a mainline movie. I forsee this one getting critical reviews who feel it doesnt live up to a certain level of darkness and substance character wise, but i also can tell its going to be less of an issue with fandom in general- taking another guess, I imagine fans will dig the even mixture of indiana jones, psychodrama and comedy and it will become quite a fan favourite. Oscar Isaac is phenomenal in this so far - he sells the dramatic dissociative moments and the borderline slapstick comedy moments EQUALLY as well. another plus point is the direction and editing which seem frequently quite novel and fun, very well done on that front. I also love the fact there are no MCU references at all. They will undoubtedly come in time via passing references to events or whatnot, but i do like the fact its taking the time to set up its own story first and foremost.

[@BGOutOfService]

Always great to see you pop up in my notifications whenever a new show drops. Loved the episode and loved the reaction.

[@TomTomson81]

I found the start very interesting and different, we get here an origin story of a different kind, so to speak. Because Steven is actually only a small supporting character and Marc the main character. We don't get the origin from Marc or Moon Knight, but from Steven. It's something different. I think it's good.

Introduced werewolf by night moon knight trained as a boxer before he joined the army. Stephen in the comics is a playboy but now he works at a museum. Two reflections on the period could be marc and jake with Stephen. A lot of reflections from mirrors I love it. The bob dylan song was a nice touch. Y’all see the crocodiles everywhere lol ammit from Egyptian mythology. The theme of waking up is there but really Stephen has did dissociative identity disorder. He has sand around his bed. He has a goldfish that have been said to have bad memories funny enough Stephen has trouble with his memory. Notice the scale tattoo Arthur has in the Egyptian afterlife a person heart is weighed to see if they had been good or bad. That song was sampled for big pimpin lol.

[@mimicoolll0]

this show is sooo up my alley. i love everything about so far.

[@ZK4518]

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.

[@axlm.808]

No, he has some form of dissiociative identity disorder (DID). His mind is "splitted" into differents personnalities (alters) There is Steven and Marc (and probably others we don't know yet). Steven is in the dark when Marc is in control (seems like Marc has at least some level of awerness all the time). Hence the time jumps and amnesia from Steven's point of view. Steven didn't set the date with Dylan, it was Marc imperonating him (a relativelly common thing with people with DID). Same with the fish. He probably starved to death during their 2 days "trip" so he bought another one before giving back control to Steven
