Hi

Good job

Peace x Love #king Love everything you do lol BATMAN ALL DAY🧐👑🏁

[@sweetgherkinz]

oh great now they're sponsoring

[@henrysnaturephotos]

no

[@vinnydaboi7830]

Another fun fact about Khonshu is that he is the sibling (possibly half sibling) of Bast the black panther god that the people of Wakanda serve. So moon knight and black panther share a bit of a connection

[@reviewwithyou2]

Yeah, except he chains up black panther to get his power from him.. lol.

[@vinnydaboi7830]

[@reviewwithyou2]

@@vinnydaboi7830 Just saying, It says a lot that he took down BP. Now, you could blame it on one god being tougher than another god, or you could interpret it as one avatar received more power than the other. I simply took it as, "MK is tougher than I thought." Now, ..on to MK vs. Juggernaut!

I have a theory that Toth and Khonsu is related since they both are moon gods.

Khonshu is one of the Egyptian gods that has taken control of Steven/Marc in the new Moon Knight series currently streaming on Disney+ but in the comics he takes control of multiple people over the centuries.

[@khojomorrison5493]

In case anyone is confused. The writer messed up the order of the robins and was too late to fix it so in the murphyverse/white knight series only, Jason Todd is the first robin. Everywhere else is Dick Grayson.

[@kwong7058]

What ever happened to the editors and proof-readers? Sleeping on their jobs?

[@unchartedrocks1]

thnx. i was wondering how the host being a huge comic fan would mess up something so simple.

[@calebstephan2083]

Moon knight is not an ordinary god like Odin and Zeus. He is an elder god much older than them so he is someone not to be trifled with. Even knull knew him personally.

[@grandcanyon-fu9zt]

Khonshu is stronger

[@zzirfamo24]

Not even moon knight, The Ennead which is the 9 Egypt gods are all much older than them so, imagine messing with them!!

[@aaditkhan728]

But i think knull is stronger than khonsu,right?

[@reviewwithyou2]

He's one of the oldest beings in the Earth elder God pantheon. Which means he was around before most of the other Gods of Earth, including the Olympians, titans, etc.

[@matthewschwartz6607]

KNULL knew him?

[@blind_truce3842]

Moonknight appearing in the MCU has been something ive waited for literal years and Khonshu looks sooooo good

[@thealjohnsonshow2188]

I hope Khonshu is greatly developed throughout the show.

[@reviewwithyou2]

We did a video on Moon knight. The guy can control moons and thor's hammer mentally. Wild!

[@Levidieter_]

Hey Arris, good to see you, I love Variant and you guys!!

[@soundsofstabbing3627]

Khonshu also has a second avatar called hunter's moon from what I know, but he only got introduced like, last year, so he doesn't really matter that much

[@benhenderson8952]

Bro’s skull was humongous in the show 💀

[@reviewwithyou2]

It's like that in the newer comics as well. Originally, he looked like a simple Egyptian God. Then again, all of the elder Gods seem to have alternative forms they can switch between. Like Atum (father od Khonshu) can become the Demogorge God-eater.

[@generalg6666]

Shazam.

[@zzirfamo24]

No Khonshu is way stronger. Khonshu is part of the Ennead. Which is the 9 main Egyptian gods. They all live outside of time and in another dimension! Also Shazam was just a strong wizard. Khonshu is actual god!!

[@quentinfogger5755]

What would happen if Gorr the God Butcher and Mangog fought against Khonshu? Can you do history of Gorr the God Butcher and Mangog?

[@reviewwithyou2]

Gorr would be floored by Khonshu, but Mangog would probably whoop him by himself. Because of Mangog's nature and powers, he would directly be feeding off MK, or even Khonshu himself, depending on their mental state at the time of the fight.

Great video, I guess though it wasn’t made clear if moon night is a good guy and or bad or similar to the Punisher? Speaking of such character, I would love to start a question of what marvel or DC would you like to see take up the spirit’s power? It would either be Wolverine or Batman for me.

[@ianfinrir8724]

Moon Knight is a hero but he's as hated as The Punisher by a lot of heroes because of his brutal nature and fractured mental state.

[@kallianpublico7517]

Do an episode on the various mythological gods and their Origins. Were they created by the Celestials like the Eternals? Who created them or where do they come from? Are any of them aspects of other mythos; in other words is Zeus the clone of Odin or Ra? Or is Odin the clone of Zeus or Ra? We know the Celestials are the Gods of Mutants. As such genes and evolutionary biology are the means of their bestowed power. The Gods, however, have religion and worship as their bestowal on mankind. As such is their a "will" associated with the avatars of the Gods? The rival, but slandered, theory to Darwinian Evolution is Lamarckian evolution. Is there a Lamarckian source to rival the gene theory of superpowers in the Marvel Universe? Not a "spiritual" source as in Dr. Strange, but a carrier of "will"?

What do you think is the best thing about Khonshu in the comics and which one of his powers and abilities do you think is the best? What do you think he's going to be like in the MCU?

[@reviewwithyou2]

Khonshu is kind of a jerk. He tells Mark that he's pathetic, all the time, and since he is a multi-faceted God, with multiple personalities.. And he gave his powers to Mark... Mark ends up having multiple personalities himself. Later on, he tells Moon knight to collect power to fight mephisto, and beats thor and takes his hammer, and obtains the phoenix force. Khonshu doesn't think this is enough though, and goes on his own little rampage.

In the comics he has a lot more similarities to Batman the first being that Stephen Grant is basically Moon Knight’s Bruce Wayne persona.
