re: Moon Knight (Disney+) - Season Long Thread

Yep, I need more Jake.

Great series… Took the MCU into some uncharted territory with mental illness. Isaac and Hawke did great. Episode 5 was award worthy for Isaac. I think the series is done here. With Jake in the mid-credit scene you also presumably see the death of Ammit. Khonshu wins, end of story. Not sure what’s left to pick up for next season.

I agree but the character has become entertaining enough to grow upon. I hope his story continues with the new avengers.

This season was incredible. Really hoping they make another. I had no idea what to expect going into this, and it feels like one of the best stories in Marvel now

The credits scene ties the knot with Harrow and probably Ammit, but it definitely sets up a season 2 if Marvel wants to pursue it. The season 2 would have Jake and Khonksu as the antagonists and Marc/Steven along with Layla and Tawret as protagonists. Marc and Steven full on fighting with the Jake personality could be incredibly interesting

I am interested in the character

I feel like this season should have been longer

I think Cutting away for the climactic battle to set up a 3rd personality for season 2 is an insane anticlimax to season 1.

What? I mean I’m sure they could leave it as a one off in case they wanna put Moon Knight in a movie or maybe a team up series or movie with Blade or Ghost Rider. I know they probably planned on this being a one-off but MCU’s Twitter changed a tweet from it being the “series finale” to the “season finale” and people really enjoyed the show and both Marc and Steven. People will be clamoring for more.

If Steven and Marc not realizing they aren’t truly free and are about to be in a war with a more dangerous third personality isn’t enough for a Season 2 then I don’t know what is. Plus there’s still some mystery surrounding Layla’s father’s death. I think the success of the show will make Feige interested in bringing on a 2nd Season. I think it will ultimately come down to whether Isaac wants to do it. He didn’t sign a long term contract like a lot of the other MCU actors.


ETA: I don’t think we’ll have clarity anytime soon. Rumors were that Feige and some of the top writers at Marvel were going to a retreat to plan out the next ten years at Marvel. I’m sure that includes all the TV shows and those characters and what they want to do with She-Hulk and Moon Knight as well as Kate Bishop and Bucky and Falcon. I do think we’ll get a second season. But I don’t know if we’ll get a traditional villain like this one. They might use a second season to focus on Khonshu and Jake while bringing in another hero like Blade or Ghost Rider to bring some flair to the show

Honestly, bringing along an early look at Ghost Rider and seeing Johnny Blaze battle some inner demons sounds like something that would appeal to a show like Moon Knight and characters like Marc and Steven.

And of course maybe the first mention of Mephisto and perhaps his first appearance in the MCU? Might not be a bad way to ease Ghost Rider back into things before a movie to help cleanse the palette of people with Nic Cage on the brain. Same with Blade. An MCU Dark wouldn’t be a bad idea to give more time to some of the darker and weirder aspects of Marvel.

Happy Steven got his badass moments too. He used those batons well.

Yes I believe so

oscar isaac is an excellent actor.

yeah, the guy is really entertaining, a force of a personality. I first saw him in Robin Hood movie starring Russell Crowe as the young Prince John seizing control of England. I wanted a sequel to that movie bad, but it never came because I wanted to see more Isaac as the King.

So did MoonNight really fight & defeat the bad guy totally offscreen?

And none of it was shown in the season (series?) finale??

Bold.
