Moon Knight S1:E4 - The Tomb
WARNING: Minor Spoilers Ahead
I laughed and scratched my head over the mind-twisting ending of episode four of MOON KNIGHT.
I followed the comic for a short while when it first arrived in 1980 but I can’t say I am truly knowledgeable of the full storyline and so I’am unable to reference it as I watch the show unfold. But I am loving watching it unfold!
I’ve seen all of the MCU television shows and liked them, but MOON KNIGHT is, without question, the best one yet. And I say that not just because I am fond of the character.
Oscar Issac is a fantastic actor and his skills are on display as he gives us two completely different people in Steven Grant and Marc Spector and I can’t wait to see the third identity they keep teasing–John Lockley. I mean the man’s face and body language are completely different for each one. It’s just wonderful to watch.
I’ve always enjoyed watching Ethan Hawke do his thing and there is some real depth to the character of Arthur Harrow. This is a villian with complex motivations and, like any good villian, he genuinely believes he is the good guy in this story.
I also like May Calamawy, who is brand new to me. I’m loving the fact that she is, in many ways both Marc and Steven rolled into one identity. She’s brilliant and incredibly tough. She is no damsel in distress, which is always refreshing to watch. I still think there is more to the story about the death of her father that has yet to unfold so it will be interesting to see how that works out.
This show is funny, exciting, expertly shot, acted, and written. This is really good TV and I’ve liked every episode.
And I laughed out loud when the hippo god waved and Marc and Steven screamed. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
