Series review: Moon Knight

Introduction:-

Steven (Isaac) works in a museum in London and knows everything there is to know about ancient Egypt. He also has a habit of waking up in unusual places. As the number of midnight excursions increases, Steven begins to suspect that there is more to it than just sleep walking. Hearing voices, seeing otherworldly beings, and having memories he can't place prompts him to look into his nighttime activities further. As he gets closer to an answer, his alter-ego Marc appears.

Moon Knight is a bucking bronco ride of ideas, with Marc's dissociative relationship with Stephen often appearing to fight for a place.

For the most part, I like what the series is attempting; the setting of Egyptology, London, and Egypt feels novel for Marvel Studios. Instead of set hopping to the next interesting location, there is enough time spent in the right locations to feel like it is doing justice to the story.

Insight:-

While watching ancient gods battle is entertaining, it is not what makes the series interesting. Daredevil, for example, exemplifies how well character development can be delivered. As a Marvel fan, the sweeping plot movement, high quality CGI, and action sequences all serve to demonstrate the film's pedigree. However, without 4000 hours of Marvel context, Moon Knight must be more than just gleaming meat in the MCU sandwich.

Conclusion:-

I really liked the visuals, from the design of his London flat to the dark alleys of Giza; it has a lot of character. The costumes for the cast and the depiction of the gods are also excellent. Small details, such as the change in costume design between Steven (Mr. Knight) and Marc (Moon Knight), contribute to a very polished experience, as well as the all-important Marvel merchandise. Marc's traumatic trips down memory lane may get wacky at times, but they certainly keep your attention.

I still believe that these moments of discovery would have been better kept together; as clever as late series reveals are, jumping between a memory and end-of-series fight sequences loses some momentum. Moon Knight has a great concept that, with a few tweaks, could have been exceptional, but it has a tendency to overreach. Remove the occasionally silly character switches and the ping-pong character development, and it has a future. Marvel fans will undoubtedly enjoy this, and casual viewers will find more than your average MCU series on offer. Keep an eye out for a possible season 2 teaser at the end of episode 6
