Moon Knight: Season 1 Episode 2 Discussion

[Herbert Playz]

• I found this episode entertaining but...
• I don't like the secrecy with the way Mark Spector and Conchu are keeping Steven in the dark about what's going on.
• If Mark had taken time to explain things besides just saying "give me control" half a hundred times they probably never would have lost the scarab.
• Also while I understand that Marvel/Disney are implementing their trademark humor into the show, they shouldn't do it at the expense of the plot.
• When Steven has control for the first time while using the suit he obviously is totally out of his depth. There is no time to celebrate and act really goofy when you're fighting for your life.
• I would have preferred if Disney had kept those type of funny moments for when Steven was not in combat.
• When they inject moments of silliness during the fighting it really takes away from that excellent suspense vibe that they've developed for this show.
• The plotting for episode 2 really stood out on this one. I didn't like how Steven just let some randoms inside his "flat" started answering all their questions and allowed them to snoop around.
• I get that Steven is not supposed to be an assertive guy but he should have a decent concept of private space and be able to recognize when someone's out to get him.
• I also missed the instant time lapses that made episode 1 so mind bending. It really gave episode 1 a freaky type of edge.
• I like the fact that the show is globetrotting though. It looks like episode 3 is supposed  to takeplace in Cairo or Giza in Egypt.
• Also can we all just take a moment and appreciate how great the full Moon Knight suit looks, plus I'm really digging the crescent moon weapons. The suit looks extremely well done.
• I also like The Moon Knight's movement, he has some strength and seems durable but the way he moves is pretty cool it feels like he's big and powerful but has a sort of grace to him, like he just kind of flows, its a very cool effect.
• Episode 2 while entertaining, only gets a C+ from me, due to plotting.
