Agreed. Issac's perfomance and episode 5 were the best in the series, surprise surprise, the only one that didn't have Layla saving Steven for 40 minutes
Honestly i enjoyed the fact that his MOM was the abusive one instead of the dad. It kinda shows that they still somewhat care to show women as something other than strong, independent, perfect innocent angels
I'm sorry man, but this video has way too much hypocrisy. You changed too many facts to fit your narrative. 0:13 - Not a bait and switch. It was advertised as a psychological story about Steven Grant, and him learning about Marc and Moon Knight with some Indiana Jones moments in there. We got exactly what was advertised. 0:35 - I don't see why this should be taken poorly. Scarlet Scarab from the comics was very obscure and nobody even liked the character to begin with. What they did to Taskmaster was shitty, this was not. 2:27 - That was *your* favourite run, not the run the series was based off. If I'm not mistaken, the series took more inspiration from Jeff Lemire and Greg Smallwood's run. 2:39 - They say you only see what you wish to see. This is clear in your words. I watched a series about Marc, viewed majorly through the eyes of Steven. I did not watch a story about Steven and Layla. The lack of Moon Knight wasn't good, but as an origin story it worked well enough. Still, they could have taken notes from Daredevil. 3:09 - Compare Batman and Daredevil. Bruce Wayne has less problems than Matt Murdock does, and this is because of the money difference. If Steven Grant was written as a billionaire playboy, it removes half the intrigue of the show and will become "Batman, but less interesting", where half his problems are solved with money, or plot holes are created because half the problems could have been solved with money. 3:43 - Not everyone knows this. Superheroes have become more mainstream, and a lot of people who watched the show probably never knew who Moon Knight was. The reveal of Steven being Marc's alter was directed towards them, not us. 4:18 - We were never shown how the Kingpin built his empire in Daredevil, but that worked out well. This has a similar intrigue in the beginning few episodes where you never knew who was a follower of Ammit. 4:51 - He's not Ammit's avatar. He became her avatar at the end, but he doesn't have a costume because he isn't a warrior (or atleast lost his ability to fight, resulting in his need for a cane. It's established that he used to be a warrior for Khonshu). 5:51 - It takes a real good eye to notice the other characters are "diverse", especially considering that Osiris' avatar (the main guy talking) is a white male. 6:45 - It's a showing of faith similar to walking on hot coal. He also does mention that he repents the sins he committed once (probably as Khonshu's avatar), which is probably why he did that. 8:45 - First off, it's pronounced "Aah-nu-bis" not "Eh-na-bes". Secondly, a little bit of research will tell you that Tawaret is infact responsible for bringing life through birth, and equally responsible for cleansing the souls of the dead and allowing them to pass through the afterlife. 8:56 - Okay, now I'm sure that we were watching different shows. Although I can respect opinions. 9:34 - Not because they are missing one heart, but rather because either Steven or Marc's heart isn't pure. 11:33 - I'm pretty sure the reason why Layla did't want to be an avatar was because she saw what it did to Marc. Nothing to do with the "Fierce, independent woman" argument. 12:08 - I'm pretty sure the gates of "Osiris" were opened by, well... Osiris. The god in control of the aforementioned white male from the ennead. 12:30 - Moon Knight's powers are derived from the moon. He is at maximum power when the moon is full, and the moon was full. 12:58 - That's Tawaret in control of Layla, not Layla herself. 13:38 - I've seen worse from better films. It's a pet peeve but not a criticism. 15:20 - Okay, erm... That's not a "Disney-Marvel problem", that's a Marvel comics creative decision. Ever since Spiderman, Marvel has made their heroes more relatable instead of being "Alpha males" that have no personal problems whatsoever. Even Superman's most loved character trait is that he is apologetic, wholesome and a boy scout. A good superhero show isn't "Good guy beats bad guy", it's one with a good character and actual moral problems beyond just the bad guy. Again, opinions are valid. 15:32 - Experts have stated that Moon Knight's depiction of DID was accurate and well done. 15:48 - I guess the professional critical reception to the show should be wrong then, because it seems like Moon Knight was highly appreciated. Even Marvel didn't anticipate it to be as good as it was, with rumors that they want Moon Knight to return for an unplanned sequel. Also, I do believe that Marc has saved Layla many times, which weren't mentioned here for some reason (not to mention the fact that he literally tries to protect her from Khonshu throughout the show). For someone who seems heavily against mixing politics and entertainment (also known as being "woke"), you seem to love mixing politics with your form of entertainment. Either you are an extreme hypocrite, or you don't keep an open mind when reviewing Disney stuff. The show wasn't perfect, but it's still better than you make it out to be. For those who are reading this, I don't hate Gary or anything, but I do call out BS when I see it. Although he made some good criticisms a lot of it was pure BS.
Awesome list, but I'd like to add... 5:32 - His example of bad CGI is from a Scooby Doo movie. It's inserted to imply it's from this show, but it's not. The actual jackal monster is shown just a few seconds later. Seems pretty dishonest. 6:35 - In the Layla/bodyguard fight, the bodyguard was manhandling her until she stabbed him. He had literally just tossed her across the room a frame before, and she realized she had no chance and resorted to her knives. And yes, 2 knives in the chest would end any fight, even against someone bigger and stronger. I'm sure I could go on, but frankly I don't feel like watching this biased "review" again. It's clear that he likes to cherry pick scenes to fit his narrative. That is not to say that the show was perfect, but this guy does not paint an accurate picture. Then again, "hate for clicks" seems popular these days, so I have no doubt that it's deliberate.
Two more things to add to your list that Gary conveniently forgot to mention are that Layla didn’t randomly find Marc in London, in the scene right after that she mentions how she tracked his phone, and that it was revealed that the avatar for Osiris was in league with harrow the whole time and that’s why the ennead let him go free, not because they were ignorant. I really hate how he intentionally leaves out critical information just to push his narrative
As someone who live in Egypt for a while, I quite enjoyed this series. I also enjoyed the Arabic language being accurate and the credits music using modern Egyptian music. Also, I didn't really get the impression that this series was woke. As far as the "Are you an Egyptian hero" comment from random girl, it was more an Egyptian pride signal than a virtue signal. After all, Egyptians are very self conscious of their history.
can we please add that the director took to twitter how awful the depiction of Egypt in other films and shows was, only showing pyramids cheap laborers and some dirty markets. So how he took it upon himself to normalize and modernize our vision of Egypt. Just to show us pyramids, some cheap laborers and dirty markets all over again? Thank you Mr Diab.
I find it more egregious for the director to use rule of cool over a proper depiction of a god in its purview. Especially if you're trying to ride in on the authentic representation horse. Pyramids, shady markets, mummies, and scarab themes are cool. Disrespecting peoples religion and gods is not. Or am I out of date with the npc patch notes?
@@jasonspencer8558 If you speak as a local and you recognized the actual places of his sets? good for you, but as someone who's not from Egypt to me what the guy did looked just bad. It didn't even look like it was filmed on location, more like built sets in a studio. That's good representation? And that's true that there was exactly nothing new in this compared to what Hollywood did before, Idk which movie you watched with "way more culture".
I think you forgot to mention that Khonshu revealed that he NEVER wanted Layla at all in the post credit scene because Mark was more troubled and easier for him to use because of his personas
He lied to Mark about wanting Layla so that Mark obey him. But this guy for some reason wants every character in the mcu to be edgy, dark and narcissistic.
Holy shit that scene where that kid said “are you an Egyptian hero?” And she answered was so out of place and had current Hollywood written all over it 💀
I will give Gary that, that was a bs moment, probably the only complaint I have about the entire show. Also you’re telling me that that girl automatically assumed the woman who saved her was Egyptian?
I have to admit for not knowing anything about moonknight I did enjoy the show. But I understand why fans of the original comics find it disrespectful and not the level it should be. You are right that they have a problem dealing with male super heroes. I would like to have seen more moonknight fight scenes rather than mark knight scenes.
@@Stevie_tha_tooth people are now just hating because it's Marvel. I really enjoyed the show and I hate when everyone says Layla knows instantly how to control her Power when you have Steven that never fought before fight like a ninja and Layla actually has fighting experience
Such a disappointing show. It had some decent ideas but the execution just wasn't there. The MPD thing was lame, Mr. Robot did it better. Ethan Hawke's character was bland and boring. Layla was more of the same. Terrible writing & action too.
What is it with OCs replacing actual comic characters and pushing them aside?! Sylvie replaced Lady Loki and Enchantress Sylvie, Michelle (I refuse to call her MJ) replaced Mary Jane Watson, and now Layla replaced Marlene and an actual Egyptian character from the comics. There's plenty of characters that they can bring in live action, they just seemed to not bother to look it up.
This is exactly what I've been talking about, & people want to act like she's not the problem in the show she definitely is half of the reason this show sucks.
Oh, we definitely got a bad dad. Marc's father was inept and cowardly, he didn't want anything to do with either of them when he left to enlist in the military.
Exactly he was such a wuss I'm glad I'm not the only one who realized this, this dude let his wife abuse marc & did nothing the entire time, just pathetic the Mcu sinks to new lows with terrible father figures.
@@elongatedmanforever1252 But Marc's father was like this in the comics too. In the comics, Marc's mother died when he was a kid and his father got constantly beaten & mugged by thugs every single day. Never fighting back. Marc Spector grew up seeing his father as a pathetic loser and lost all respect for him. Which inspired Marc to learn to fight and train himself at the gym. Marc also beat the shit out of his dad for interrupting his boxing match and while Marc's Dad laid on the floor, Marc signed out a form to join the Marines and abandoned his father for 15 years. His Dad would die of old age sometime during Marc's superhero career as Moon Knight, never seeing his son again and never getting an apology. (So yeah, Marc's Dad has always been a pathetic loser).
@@RamsTheNameCom Yeah that's very much a trend in comics as well, truth be told it's hard to find good father figures there, because a lot of them are just trash not to say they don't exist in there but the ones I see a lot of are vile, lame or spineless Or abusive or like peacemakers dad from the show a generic racist asshole who hates his son for no reason, if there are any good father figures in comics you can let me know but a lot of them especially in movies are terrible.
@@elongatedmanforever1252 To be fair, Peacemaker's father was a Nazi in the original comics. They only retcon it so that the DC racist villain "The White Dragon" was his father. Some comics with great father figures include: Superman, Zatanna, Ms. Marvel (Kamala), The Phantom, Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes), Ragman, Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), and HellCat. In HellCat's case, her mother was a selfish and entitled woman who put herself above her children. HellCat's Father got a divorce and fought hard in court to take his kids with him, but of course the mother ended up getting full custody of their children. The mother would go on to tell lies about how awful of a human being HellCat's father was. HellCat eventually learns the truth about how much her father loved her, after her mother died.
Me too! I like that show wasn’t at all affiliated with Thanos or the aftermath of Endgame or anything avengers related at all. And I appreciate that Oscar Isaac was given a more interesting role than Po Damrin from Star Wars
@@Disanem they change the character stevie is supposed to be a bilionaire businessman not an unstable man who cant even defend himself.....it shows u have never even read the comics..they destroyed his character and turned him into a beta who needs to be saved by mark's wife.
@@nicholasgakuu5223 did you just use beta in a real sentence Any way Marvel change characters all the time and I although I don't like it I don't have a problem with it if you want the og moon knight go read the comics (sorry for bad english not my first language)
After last month's fiasco about gender teaching in schools, it touched my limit and ended it with all that is Disney, Star Wars and Marvel. But I'll still watch videos like this out of pure entertaining comic relief.

The one Steven save I didn’t mind much was the flare one. Though not sure if a flare would explode the ammo crate, she had to save him using her wits instead of being a generic warrior woman.
@@elongatedmanforever1252 far from it. She scraped by most of her scuffles by the skin of her teeth, not dissimilar from the hobbits somehow man again to kill orcs and Uruk-hai in the LotR films. As far as strong female characters go, she was the most bearable we’ve seen from Disney in a looooooong time.
@@ManSeekingMeaning No she wasn't dude, she was utterly insufferable and annoying, she basically did everything while Marc & Steven bumbled around. Yeah sure "She got Scrapped", from fighting a mummy and also the time a man twice her size threw her against a pole & she shook it off like nothing, She seems to be able to fight enemies without getting hurt or dying, While Moon knight literally gets stabbed multiple times, she also becomes terawatts avatar and becomes a expert with using her abilities rey Skywalker style yep she's definitely "Tolerable" as she essentially does everything, and says she doesn't need "Protecting" very subtle dialogue.
@@elongatedmanforever1252 like I said the only save I didn’t mind was the flare one, the rest of the time she was generally cringeworthy. She tracked Steven down after he was kidnapped, she held her own against a big body guard, escaped from a mummy that grabbed her, and she was suddenly an expert fighter at the end. No bueno.
You mispronounced Annubis but not surprised sense you also didn't know that in Egyptian mythology that tarawet does fairy people across the underworld Annubis just runs it. I would love to hear how many people actually love the villain the scarlet scarab and care that the name changed to a new hero. Not many people knew about moon knight so not knowing Marc was the main persona or not knowing about Jake lockley isn't a stretch. Also, idk if you missed the dialogue in the post credit scene but khonshu does reveal that he never wanted Layla because Marc is so broken "why would I need anyone else". Also the childhood trauma is very accurate as to how people get DID and not just "oh guess what I need a billionaire persona". I mean Honestly do you think if they kept that billionaire persona it'd be better? You would probably sit her and say "they are just trying to copy batman". I also love how you don't have a save counter for all the times Steven and Marc save Layla because God forbid something doesn't fit with your message. It's hilarious how hard you try rag on everything marvel. Do the shows and movies have issues yeah, are they like DC movie level bad where they completely miss the mark, no.
Its funny, I used to think like you that Nerdrotic was just some Misandrist ranting against Marvel, that he couldn't be right, but more and more I'm seeing the influence of "THE MESSAGE" over good storytelling and when I watched Dr. Strange 2 and watched him essentially go "The power was in you all along, strong independent Woman" I couldn't help but think of his predictions.
@@Nehesi that's a trope that goes back to the wizard of OZ. But Dr. Strange didn't say that because "oh you are a woman who is better than any man" no if it was a male character he would've said the same thing. Tell me where Dr. Strange said it was because she's a woman and she's better than any man. He never says that and if your argument is simply that he doesn't have to and you can tell they wrote it because she's female then that's a big reach and a nitpick.
I never even got that far. I decided to wait for Endgame to come out (or close to it) before watching Infinity War and by the time that happened, I no longer cared. I've saved so many hours _not_ watching mediocre Marvel movies and shows!
@@farhadarian2 Uh, no. Sony literally made the movie. They own the Spider-Man film rights. Marvel Studios co-produced it and gets 25% of the cut. That’s it.
I liked Moon Knight and this man is painfully stupid. Taweret is here because in some Egyptian myths she guards the souls of the dead travelling to the underworld, she is also a god of resurrection.... 2 minute google search. Khonsu admitted that he didn't want Layla at the end, he was using her to scare Marc into compliance. Khonsu also didn't really want Marc, he wanted Jake because Jake is a psychotic killing machine. Layla also didn't want to be an avatar because a. She wasnt dying like Marc was when he accepted b. because she saw the toll that it took on Marc/Steven. Layla escaping the fake cops isn't that awesome, she hides outside and is clearly scared (time stamp 4.11) The 2nd Layla save count makes no sense, he falls beside her scooter. It's also pointless, neither Marc/Steven,Layla or Khonsu save the day in the end, Jake does. The multiracial/gender avatars.....I'm sorry a 50 something odd man crying about this is cringe, it's just cringe. The reason Harrow puts glass in his shoes is explained when he meets Ammit, again this man is painfully stupid. And on the subject of Moon Knight screen time; The Nolan Batman series feature Batman on screen on average of about 15% of the entire trilogies run time; it's a weak arsed complaint. This post took far longer than this idiot deserved.
Yes exactly like I don't think it's as bad as he paints it to be but I do think it could've been much better specially for a moon knight tv show it had hella potential but since it's Disney it's expected some of the nitpicks here we're actually dumb ngl he didn't even try to understand context from the actual show and he just kinda pulled shit out of his ass
Not to mention that Anubis was shown to be one of the gods encased in stone by the Ennead. Taweret was only recently brought in to do his job, hence why she had the papyrus cue cards and her saying she hasn’t done this in a while.
@@JohnCena-lh4zb tf u mean majority may not, which majority u talking about, the ones that only see entertainment in black and white and thinks that everything has to be politically motivated like this guy?
Fight scenes are expensive. You have to choreograph them, rehearse them, and film them multiple times, then the editing is really hard. It's much cheaper to shoot a bunch of green-screen CGI afterlife bullshit. This is the same reason there was hardly any kung-fu in _Iron Fist,_ and why _Reacher_ stopped having any fight scenes after the first few episodes. Also why all the fight scenes in the old Star Trek shows were laughable, but we forgive them for that.
@@Bacteriophagebs I thought we forgave them for the same reason we forgave old school godzilla. Watching him waddle around and destroy the prop buildings. It's the what's trying to be told and shown in the story over just flash. Disney has lots of flash but not substance to the story.
Nearly every "issue" you bring up is self explanatory or they explain it in the show... Did you not pay attention? Sure there's a few "seriously" "that was bs" moments, but it seems like you just like to complain for the sake of complaining. It's sad. I use to enjoy your videos, I guess it's time to unsubscribe...
You people are sad. Go watch other Marvel TV shows before this D+ dumpster fire because you clearly haven't seen a good Marvel show yet, or what Marvel is capable of when they let actually competent people to do their jobs.
Googled Taweret and it took, I dunno, 45 seconds to find out why she was guiding people in the land of the dead. Nice glossing over who actually beats Harrow too, doesn't fit your narrative I guess.
I’m tired of this repeated pattern.. I want more diversity…of storytelling This one was probably the closest relative to the others; but still, narratively extremely frustrating. Feels in a lot of ways like a spiritual successor of antman and the wasp except it was the Moonman and the Scarab lol Similar dynamic between the pairs.
I wouldn’t really agree about the comparison. Ant man and the wasp was a lot more light hearted fun than what moon knight turned out to be. I certain wouldn’t call child abuse “light hearted fun” especially
I wasn’t referring to a similarity in plot; I was referring to a similarity in dynamic of the duos themselves. The titular character comes first and is powerful but then they have a love interest that comes in later that is a bit more capable - and flies! (she flies now! I just think that’s humorous because it was Oscar Isaac that said it in Star Wars lol) Also, the female counterpart has a parent that is gone that they have resentment towards a male character about said loss. Just noticed some similarities is all.
@@0Sutekinaryuu0 well a similar character dynamic doesn't make the storytelling less diverse if it has something more interesting to explore such as moon knight's psyche and his origins being more twisted then your average superhero.
@@mrj1897 Was the DID interesting? It was done already in Ang Lee's Hulk. It was done with Gollum. It was done really, really interestingly and well in both Legion and in Doom Patrol. Did they really add anything in MK we hadn't seen? What was the angle on it which justified the story-telling complexity it added? To me, it came across as just a gimmick.
@@ghrosenb I wouldn’t call it just a gimmick if under the right hands. DID itself doesn’t really get acknowledged well besides being a horror gimmick, I say gimmick specifically towards horror because it’s either a more scary interpretation or it’s a plot twist or some shit. So moon knight offers a chance to display a more “realistic” approach compared to what a lot of movies do
I didn’t think this series was nearly as bad as Loki and Hawkeye in terms of the women stealing the show. Leila wasn’t nearly as bad and everything with her was atleast earned way more than everything with echo in hawkeye
She’s like a more confident, adventurous, brash Evelyn from the mummy series. And evie is top tier!! I’d give the series a 7/10, it was pretty good but it lacked quite abit
Yeah you’re right most of this criticism is just him angry that lelia saves mark who is a noob while she has years of experience in the mercenary field
I won't say Moon Knight was "Noir Batman-ish", he was basically a return to The Shadow, but with Italian Macabre elements. (Probably why he got popular in Italy)
More like a Moon Knight Pinball video game from "Zen Pinball 2" was a better adaptation of the character than the Marvel Studios version. (Worth a buy, if you haven't already).
C'mon, man, this show wasn't that bad, especially for a D+ show. Sure, some of the scenes were kind of cringey, but the story was interesting, and there was an element of mystery, and most of all Oscar Isaac's performance was quite good. I don't care about Layla or the Scarlet Scarab, but don't think her presence poisoned the show too much. They could have made her much more insufferable. Of course, I come to all current Marvel projects with extremely low expectations, which does increase the odds of being pleasantly surprised.
You know if there was a show featuring a character that could’ve rivaled Daredevil it would’ve been Moon Knight. Daredevil remains untouched I’m afraid. Side note: where the hell is Bushman? He would’ve been better
The Punisher had promise. Great casting of the man himself. Season one was.... Decent.... Then season 2 plummeted down with the smarmy, annoying little girl (who is the key to everything) sidekick smart mouthing our stone cold, hard as steel, ruthless Punisher. She wasn't the least bit intimidated by the man. It went from somewhat promising to borderline unwatchable. Went from that amazing prison fight scene where he slaughters multiple inmates.. to then seeing the Punisher fight hand-to-hand with female assassins to the death. Which was hysterically immersion ruining but also wildly entertaining at the same time. Quite the contrast. Those two scenes sum up the two seasons perfectly.
@@Mate397 it's funny you mention that because he's black so would've been a good opportunity for some diversity points, but yea you're right still a man
Unpopular Opinion: I really like MoonKnight! Comic book accuracy has never mattered to me, and I’m just happy to see Oscar Isaac play a better character than Poe from Star Wars!
@@GustEdgeOfficial really because all the positive comments have maybe 10 likes and the negative ones are getting hundreds/thousands. It’s cool if you enjoy but don’t trick yourself into thinking it’s only a niche group that dislikes it.
Don’t necessarily agree with this being the worst Marvel series yet, let alone being bad at all. Oscar Isaac proved how great of an actor he is, while episode 5 left me heartbroken and teary-eyed by the end. While Steven was initially not likeable for me, by the finale I was rooting for him and Marc equally which really shows how good the characterization was for both personalities. Honestly, I’m not too bothered with Layla being her own superhero as the Scarlet Scarab. She didn’t come across as OP (i.e. actually struggled against Harrow’s goons/didn’t single handedly defeat Harrow). I was worried for a bit that she was gonna actually gonna take up the mantle of Moon Knight which would’ve completely turned off any of my interests in the show. Although, it did occasionally come across my realization that Layla was saving Marc/Steven a little too often.
I agree with you - this show was entertaining, and Oscars performance was Emmy worthy. Also a show I looked forward to, and it met my expectations. Ms marvel on the other hand is nothing I look forward to, and it is not on my watch list. Probably no loss skipping it. I rather watch the obi wan show- hopefully it won’t be a total shit show
Not significantly any more (if even) than Marc/Steven/Jake saved her, though. Episode 2: Steven saves Layla from the Jackal. It's the first time he shows confidence in action. Episode 3: Marc protects Layla from the firing squad with his cloak, and later saves her from Anton Mogart who struck her down Episode 4: Steven kills the mummy was chasing Layla, later Marc faces the Disciples of Ammit, allowing Layla to hide Episode 6: Steven tackles Harrow right as he has Layla pinned, later on Jake saves everyone, including Layla Layla got saved 7 times.
I don't get his hate at all. The characterization of Steven and Marc was wonderful and the show didn't feel feminist or race bending at all. Nerdrotic is too much foxed on anti-sjw, to the point where he sees everything as sjw propaganda.
@@dipanjanghosal1662 There are times where "woke" stuff is glaringly significant, out of place, and deserving of being called out (Ghostbusters 2016, Terminator Dark Fate, Amazon's LOTR etc). But, it's important to recognise when it's legitimate "wokeness" on display, and when it's not, otherwise you just risk diluting the overall point you're trying to make.
I liked the show but I felt some of that M-She-U nonsense coming out. I enjoyed the great acting from Oscar Isaac but I hated the lack of Moon Knight in the show. He was literally in the entire show for about 10 to 15 minutes
Same. It was an interesting show if you didn't know how Moon Knight was in the comic book. Probably the best one from D+ so far. Disney just can't handle superheroes with their current LG TV+ and feminist agenda. Also Oscar Isaac's contract was only for this show, so it is probably we won't see anymore Moon Knight in the foreseeable future.
m-she-u lmao what there's still barely any female superheroes compared to the amount of male ones. the shows that everyones complaining about are also mostly focusing on male heroes with cameos or introductions of female ones on the side.
@@ShadowSonic2 Yes because the M-He-U you speak of was all about the story and source material. M-She-U focuses on pushing some crappy social agenda. The gender-swapping of male characters to female is a good example. Looking beyond Disney+ and you'll see why woke shows like Batwoman failed. Ghostbusters reboot: failed.There are great female characters in Comics and fiction but they are great because of their abilities and awesome storylines, not solely on their gender. Sarah Connor, Wonder Woman and Ellen Ripley to name a few.
I always wanted to see Moon Knight adapted. It’s honestly incredible how dull the execution was. He’s one of the most inherently “bad ass” characters Marvel has, but they somehow made it lame.
I knew that we weren't going to get hyper-violent MK like the comics, but what we got didn't even come close to what an MK show should be. Someone said that this should have rivaled Daredevil. I agree 100%, this should have taken the "best Marvel show" crown hands down. What we got was race bending, character revisionist crap.
@@mala6238 Surely you also understand both a joke as well as the fact we are playing in a fictional universe. Sometimes they change things and it’s good and well received and at other times people go comic book fundamentalist on anything that deviates from the scared texts.
Dude, everything is a disaster to you. It wasn't a disaster, it wasn't amazing but had amazing performances, the story was coherent and not full of plot holes like spiderman NWH, characters were likable, a rushed ending, that for sure, but seriously, you are nitpicking at the stupidest thing in sa comic book series. "Leyla fights a guy twice her size with her necklace" , yes, yes she does, that's exactly the kind of things that happens in comics. And who cares if "Moon Knight" isn't ominipresent? If you just want the punchy punch stuff go watch Death Battle. God forbid they explore characters for once. Take away the snarky tone of the video and pretty much nothing you say would sound like a critique.
This show is wasted potential squared. For a show about Moon Knight we barely got any of it. This could’ve been like Batman meets Fight Club meets The Mummy but what we ended up getting was pathetic man baby who had to be constantly saved by his wifey. Oscar Isaac gave it his all for sure but he deserved better then this.
@@tylerjames805 I agree, it could've been more, but what we got ain't bad, not perfect, for sure, but not badf either by any means. If anything, i'd say it was too short to delve in every aspect we would have hoped to see, but still, other than that, the story is compact, coherent and doesn't really have any major flaws.
Moon Night wasn't that bad. (Not great). But Compared to the rest of the crap. Moon Night held true to the Comic pretty basically well. I found it entertaining... Let the pitch forks fly. I honestly enjoyed it. I'm correct fully going to get killed for this, but I found it entertaining. Nough said.
Seriously? 6 episodes and we got a total of 10 minutes of screen time for the title character.... It was horrible, I want the time back that I devoted to watching that mess... If you genuinely thought it was entertaining head outside, find a nice patch of grass and watch it grow, there is more entertainment there without all the hidden messages. ;)
Calling this a disaster is insane. This dude and most of the people who watches these videos have marvel derangement. At the end of the day these are movies for kids and teens that are based on comics for kids and teens that people are far too personally invested in to a point where it is pathetic
@@originalscottfree It was probably due to cgi issues/budget issues? which could have been avoided if it was a grounded character and not a supernatural one, they could have went with the tactical suit and not whole cgi one.
HAHA! I was yelling at the screen "THERE'S AN APP FOR THAT!" You don't need to actually REVERSE TIME just to determine where the constellations were at different points in history! lol I guess maybe Konchu is an old Egyptian god and isn't aware of Astrology or computer software?
It was far from perfect but I didn’t think was downright terrible. I really liked Oscar Issac’s portrayal of the character and I do hope we get more of his Moon Knight in the future.
I liked moon knight fine, I do agree that Layla character did reduce the quality of the show quite a bit. first few episodes she was fine. Final two kinda overboard. Why did the avatar of mothers want Layla as an avatar? that needed more explanation and an episode or two of her getting used to her suit. Of course, I might have bad taste, liked Loki as well, just felt the show would have been way better if they didn't nerf Loki so much. He could take punches from captain America like nothing, but in the show, regular guards could go toe to toe with him.
Why did the avatar of mothers want Layla as an avatar? Because she wanted to help save the world and Layla was the best available candidate, very easy to understand.
If you are enjoying something, even if it's just decent and average then don't watch reviewers. Their are many honest reviewer who liked the show even after having a good knowledge about moon knight. Honestly, the "you are a Egyptian hero" was the only bad thing I hated. Like it was forced.
@Edward Vincent Laybourn Waller oh sorry it was so hamfisted and obvious i almost didn't get it, thank you for spelling it out for me, always a sign of great writing when you literally spell things out for people. not like nuance and realism is a thing. Let me guess, you loved The Eternals movie.
@Edward Vincent Laybourn Waller i bet you would like it. You seem to enjoy mediocre high school grade writing. And forced messages with no real value to the plot or the character. Other then turning them into a billboard for their message.
I think this dude appeals more to like fast and furious where these is constant action. I actually like moon knight because it was more character focused rather than just a generic dude in a suit kicking ass it actually made moon knight different from other characters
The man literally says that show would be better if instead making the multiple personalities fleshed out and interesting, he should just fight a furry instead
If you haven't seen the other Marvel TV shows aside from these D+ rubbish, then stop spouting nonsense coz you haven't even seen any good Marvel show YET.
@@lysersalvador5022 Enjoy life for once, it seems to me that you cant enjoy anything, couldnt care less if you arent enjoying but I suggest you to find a genre that fits you.
Layla isn’t the main character. She doesn’t really go through a change. She’s about the same at the beginning as she is at the end. Steven/Marc obviously go through a much bigger change. It’s okay if you didn’t like this show though. Plenty of stuff that’s wrong with it.
@@hauseradventures5278 how is it forced? The woman in The Mummy did some ass kicking too. If Layla has been fighting grave robbers and goons for months or years with Moon Knight it would make sense that she’s got some skills. If she has just been working at Dunkin Donuts then all of a sudden starts beating up dudes that would be another story.
The series was definitely more enjoyable than the other Disney+ MCU series. The pacing was terrible, they have too many of the “Omg Jake Lockley” moments instead of showing it. The series should’ve had more supernatural and horror scenes. They should’ve cut the “Are you an Egyptian superhero?” scene. The girl should’ve been scared, traumatized and running for her life, she just saw tons of people drop down dead.
@@thorneto2742 that's great then, if it empowered a handful kids it's pretty cool, but it's just that they shouldn't use the race or orientation of any character to relate to a character , for example I'm not a white dude from new york , I live in India , I could relate to tobey Very well in the Raimi series when I was akid.. I related to him because he faced similar family problems , relation ship issues like me , not because he was a specific race or orientation.. the current movies make being a specific race or orientation in itself to be sort of super power.. which really sucks.. just write good characters,, that all we ask..
I gave up on all of Disney. They have been poisoning everything I loved from my childhood. Tried to give Dr. Strange 2 a chance and just found my self rolling my eye's the whole time. Love your content man
I still don't understand why people continue to pay for this garbage. Watch a spoiler free review from a source you trust. Or just keep giving your money to Di$ney... your choice.
it’s cause they still like the MCU and don’t mind it, and cause they don’t think it’s garbage they like it, but it’s not cause Disney pays them, it’s their own opinions and many people can have different opinions on it some may not like it and others may like it
@@speedflashanimations221 they only like the MCU because they think everyone else still likes it. If tomorrow everyone started saying it was garbage, everyone else would give up on it and join in on the hate bandwagon. These types of people just follow whatever is going on
@@sirmustardofhousemayonnais9907 yeah you are correct they are people who just say it’s good cause others say it’s good, but they also are people who actually like theses shows If tomorrow everyone did started to say they hated not everyone would say they hated it, there would be people who still like it
This dude is way too sensitive. This show was not at all about the wife. She was a supporting character… really nothing more. All the emotional payoffs came from Steven and Marc. I don’t know much about the Moon Knight character so I can understand not liking how it differs from the comics but Jesus! This guy is intrenched with cultural war hot topics that it taints his vision. During the best episode of the season as we (the audience) are learning about Marc and why he created Steven, this guy is pointing out how shocked he is that the mom was abusive and not the father 🤣🤣 bro what are you doing?! When woke shit is shoved down your throat it’s annoying but my god! You have filtered goggles lol You choose to focus on shit that doesn’t matter and gloss over fucking great character development.
I don't know man, like i get the point of view that "they don't know what they missing out on" as from comic readers, but as a non comic reader but still a huge fan of their heroes and stories since as a kid, i found moon knight a really good show, Episode 6 was kinda weak but honestly doesn't ruin the earlier episodes at all. Edit: Okay.. I'm a conservative, but this is dumb like who cares that they gave a moment to a woman, who cares ? I stg there were so many people for ex in What if, and now i guess in Doctor strange that are SO up set that Captain carter appeared.. Like it's not even a bad character, even the actress is really good unlike brie larson, i was there in the movie theaters and a bald dad body dude in his mid 30s sat behind me, the dude loved the entirety of it. How do i know ? Cause he was giggling away like a child. I just feel that people are way to scared of SJW and now they see phantom SJW's in EVERYTHING.. Just cause they are annoying doesn't mean the opposition isn't just as equally annoying.. I'm gonna be honest, you guys are like expanding the time shes on screen in your minds, it's not that big of a deal.. She was a avatar for half a episode, so what, she didn't shoot laser beams with her eyes and save the day like some amazonian savior, she saved the MC once the finisher went to the MC still.. This show was about the MC, Steven and Mark, focus on that cause that's like 95% of the show..
Thank you so much. I’m so glad someone else sees through this guys sexist bullshit. Anytime a project has a strong female character he has a bitch fit. He’s the actual “beta male” here. Strong men like and can handle strong women. Weak men feel threatened by strong women.
@@Nick-lz5lx He legit just keeps shitting on everything. I get that, hawk eye, black widow, and falcon was a disappointment from a writing stand point. But the rest ? Wanda vision, Loki, What if, moon knight, and now he even wants to shit on Doctor strange 2 ? I get there are flaws, but do you hate fun ? Do people just deny themselves Fun..
Moon Knight is such a cool character, and this show had such potential after the first episode. Just wish Disney / Marvel can figure out how to write a cool female superhero story instead of turning all of their shows / movies into the "female Mary sue has to save inept male superhero even in their own vehicle" trope. it's getting so tired.
I'm gonna be honest here, I could tell just from the snippets of trailers I've seen online that this... show... was going to be trash. It was the look of Marc Spector and how he was presented visually that was my biggest clue. While I was familiar with Moon Knight for a long time, I got my first real taste of him from the Charlie Huston run, "The Bottom." I met Marc at his dirtiest, his grittiest, his meanest... and I loved it. THAT was my Moon Knight. I knew Disney couldn't possibly touch that version and do it any justice, but what I learned from The Bottom was that Marc Spector was not necessarily a very nice person. He was a mercenary. A soldier. A trained killer. I look at Disney's depiction of Marc and I see... a scared little man. The foppish hair. The constant scenes and shots of him looking all out of sorts, making me think of an awkward teen who somehow got lost at the mall and was just bumbling around hoping to stumble onto the group of friends he came in with. He just looked so... insecure and scared. The Marc I knew was a lot of things. Disturbed, paranoid even. But not insecure and scared like this. And now I hear that he apparently needed some gender-flipped version of another obscure character to bail his bacon out of the fire. Look, we're talking about Moon Knight. A vigilante hero who wore bright white at night so that his enemies would see him coming and be too afraid to shoot straight. A guy who literally removed the face of one of his biggest enemies. A guy who turned the Taskmaster into a crying heap. The FIst of Khonshu, avatar of the Egyptian god of vengeance... and you're telling me Disney decided THIS GUY needed to be SAVED? See, I would get on the "boycott Disney Minus" bandwagon... but I never had a subscription in the first place. And shows like this are a big reason for that. Thank you for your hard work, Gary.
Yeah, part of the issue here is that the MCU Moon Knight team wanted to adapt the Jeff Lemire 2016 reboot version of Moon Knight which depicted him as a "Scared little man". Literally removing his aggressive behavior since childhood, to instead depict him as a scared loner with mental health issues that needed his father. Only leaving him to join the Marines because he felt lost and scared when his father died. As oppose to the original comics where Marc Spector saw his father as a weak pathetic loser growing up, who got constantly beaten by thugs in the city. Marc trained himself at the Gym to toughen up, because he didn't want to be seen as weak and pathetic as his father. Marc wanted people to be intimidated by him and back off. Eventually his father caught on that his son was boxing and tried to stop him, Marc reacts by beating the shit out of his dad and then out of spite, signs out a form to join the Marines while his father lays on the floor and abandons him. (Moving on to kill innocent people and children for fun/money during his mercenary career, gets betrayed by Bushman, dies, and gets reborn vowing to redeem his past actions as a Superhero). So basically the MCU version of Moon Knight is a water down loose adaptation, of an already water down loose version of Moon Knight in comics. And hilariously enough The director came out and said the Jeff Lemire version of Moon Knight wasn't their original plan. They actually originally wanted to do the 2011 Bendis version of Moon Knight (the one who thinks he's Spiderman, Captain America, and Wolverine). Also known as the Black Sheep of Moon Knight comics..... It feels like no one working at Marvel Studios actually cares about Moon Knight, just mental health representation and Egyptian culture diversity.
I definitely wanted to see bloody spiked knuckles and someone's face beaten to a pulp. Would have settled for at least a character resembling MK from the comics, not a flying mummy with a magic suit.
@@megabear8905 sure did. I'm not one of those "well it doesn't look great but let me give it a chance first" people. If I see the trailers or ads and it looks like trash, then to me, it is trash. Especially if the network or company producing it has a strong history of producing trash.
Also gotta love research and respect to egyptian culture being shown by making the GODDESS OF MOTHERHOOD AND CHILDERN THE ONE HANDLING THE AFTERLIFE INSTEAD OF OH I DO NOT KNOW ANUBIS WHO RUNS IT IN EGYPTAIN MYTH.
Taweret actually was believed to help the deceased pass to the afterlife as well as help with childbirth (she was the goddess of both childbirth and funerals )and Taweret was also associated with Ammit Given how similar their characteristics were in the myths (also who wouldn't know Anubis is the god of the dead)
I enjoyed it - bit I did find it quite hilarious that Moon Knight gets overpowered by Harrow then blacks out only to wake up the victor....his whole victory fight was cut! I felt a bit ripped off. I don't mind the scarlet scarab thing but feel like they should have revealed the third personality in the actual final battle where he overpowers Harrow (who, how on earth can he fight with glass in his shoes?) It was pretty obvious that there was a third personality and I felt jipped they revealed it in the post credits scene. What was the point of saving that twist for the post credits? Eh. I'll go back to watching buffy now.
They technically showed that the third persona existed in the psyche ward, with the sarcophagos shaking and someone screaming inside it. It's good to see an intelligent comment under a video like...this. "Dramatic middle eastern music plays" of COURSE it does! The character is LITERALLY EGYPTIAN lol
Lisa Mayne I know that there's a hate movement now for Joss Whedon and Buffy TVS, I don't care. But still.... Buffy is like ten times better than any MCU Disney+ show
Moon knight was fucking fantastic. She wasn’t some Mary sue she fought the entire show dodging gunfire and killing MFs you’re just a hater for any kind of women in media. I know her power up was a bit random but it was necessary to help and moon knight ended up saving the day in the end while she was helpless. Go rewatch the show.
This dude literally complains about every single damn thing and he just gets pissed that theres a female that has a good character hes ranting like he doesnt get bitches
It’s so weird how these people are so dogmatic about the secondary aspects of the show and not, like, the themes. Or maybe the, uh, symbolism. And instead seem very concerned about how the differences from the comics to the show is obviously the result of an evil plot to destroy the alpha males
That's not how you rate shows lmao. Just because everything else is shit dosnt means this is good. It's a decent show that ruined the character of Moon Knight.
Ah, see my standards don't change. I'm still like "Hollywood made The Godfather and The Shawshank Redemption. Now you have the special effects to do LITERALLY ANYTHING, and THIS laughable horse shit is what you're producing? You must be making these shows and movies terrible intentionally, or you forgot how to write stories, develop characters or be even close to consistent.
Speaking of "on the nose" -- instead of letting Egyptians just naturally enjoy her being Egyptian... they add a girl asking her if she's an "Egyptian Hero"... lol... because a few people out there might now have noticed it and properly patted those writers on the back for such excellent pandering lol.
I see this comment alot. I feel the line has been misinterpreted by so many people. Being an "Egyptian superhero" doesn't mean that Layla has become a superhero who is Egyptian, but rather she became a superhero responsible for the protection of Egypt. She's not a superhero who happens to be an Egyptian, she's an Egyptian superhero in the same way Sunfire is a Japanese superhero, Shamrock is an Irish superhero, Peregrine is a French superhero and Outlaw is a British anti-hero. If she works on an international scale (say she protects London), then you could say this line was pure corny wokeness, until then it seems misinterpreted by way too many people (either that or I perceive it differently).
I’m not sure. I would mostly agree with this guy, but after watching the show, I liked it more than the other shows. Layla felt like a another version of Pepper from Iron Man 3. I wasn’t a fan of the change of the change to Steven Grant’s character but I think it somewhat worked for the story. But I liked it better then the other others.
Pepper kind of did the same thing in iron man 3, stealing Tony's spotlight let me ask you this, would anyone be okay having a movie with a male character steal a woman heroes moment I don't think so double standard.
Dont expect any 'toxic masculinity' from the MCU anytime in the future, just plenty of strong flawless females even if they dont have super powers will end up saving so called 'heroes.'
what’s wrong with female superhero’s?! also if you actually watch the show you know that the original scarlet scarab is her father☠️ y’all just be talking out of y’all asses
She's his wife man I think not everything's about politics here. She's set up as an explorer from the start and why wouldn't she save him he saved her too from that jackal thing
Riding the hate train hard. I dunno what you guys expect. Seeing "M-she-U" everywhere even when there isn't. Oh yes there's been and will be some godawful shows but Moon Knight is okay. Ending was bit meh. I don't think the reviewers are doing this "omg worst ever omg disaster show again" crap for clicks and clout, just blinded by the crap we've had. It's a good show, k.
Dude every male character in the Mcu has gotten completely emasculated, thor, loki, Marc, Steven, doctor strange & hulk While the women are shown to be better then them in every way.
@@elongatedmanforever1252 "Dude every male character in the Mcu has gotten completely emasculated, thor, loki, Marc, Steven, doctor strange & hulk While the women are shown to be better then them in every way." How? Iron Man solved the time travel problem and Hulk (Bruce Banner) helped him. Vision was the main guy to destroy Ultron. Loki was almost as strong as She-Loki, only had different power sets. Iron Man was the main guy to kill Thanos. Wanda getting immense power because of Dark Hold book, is your only excuse for "M-She-U" I guess.
@@Qaosbringer That was marvel phase 1 where the male characters were actually competent, and no the mshe-u is not a excuse it's a fact. I'll list why the mshe-u is real in a list of 6 1. Modern mcu sidelines male protagonists in their own show, and has a stronger, smarter badass female characters who overshadow the men as they bumble around & do nothing of any value whatsoever. 2. The male characters are all portrayed as idiots, useless or evil Captain marvel is a great example. 3. Male villains and characters get gender swapped to being female like Marvelle, taskmaster, ghost and Scarlet scarab 4. The female characters get no development or go through any struggles or adversity and can do anything just to prove men are stupid. 5. female villains like Wanda maximoff and Milena from black widow, echo, ghost are made to be like they aren't villains & shouldn't be punished for their evil deeds because they Aren't men. 6. Bait and switch where they have the Male characters get replaced with Stronk female characters like female thor, sylvie and Kate bishop who struggled & went through absolutely no adversity whatsoever they earned nothing.
I think there were a few "when will they get to the fireworks factory?" viewers, that were just hanging out for the action, and if you were you'd be dissapointed. The Moon Knight series more delved into Marc Spector's Disassociate Identity Disorder, rather than him kicking ass episode after episode. This is par for the course for the Marvel Disney+ series. WandaVision and Hawkeye were both studies on grief and loss; Falcon and the Winter Soldier was a not so subtle examination on racism both past and present. You "could" overly focus on Layla's role, and there's no doubt some gender politics there if you go looking for it, but I believe that's the wrong take-away from what I thought was a very good series.
@@freebretth fool keeps posting this stupid comment everywhere Well the fantasy has a source material so if you can't properly adapt a source material then stay away from it
I feel like this show was falsely labelled in terms of its genre, they could’ve made it a psychological horror, but Marvel wanted it to be another action-adventure project. This show needed to be a mix of Punisher, Daredevil and Jessica Jones, especially in terms of its tonality, some of the MCU “family-friendliness” took away from some moments that could’ve been really dark. Tbf, it was one of the better Disney+ shows, but it’s still got a lot of catching up to do with its Marvel TV show predecessors. Hopefully, having the ‘Daredevil’ and ‘Punisher’ writers/showrunners back for ‘Echo’ will ground the MCU more and bring in its darker ‘TV-MA’ tonality.
I am still surprised that people get hyped and have high hopes with Marvel, Disney and Hollywood in general. "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me."
yeah, that has always been a big negative shocking and disgusteal deal for me. Its tought o be patient with many of these Naive young fans and even older fans who give money to Disney , only to be disheartened and discouraged...as TESTIFIED BY THEIR OWN WORDS.... later! Suckers.
@@thekerr8728 this is an excellent, accurate statement "the kerr". this is why I don't enjoy going to conventions. ITS OKAY to be around "adult children" that want to have fun, like "toys-r-rus " kids. But not when it comes to lack of discernment, shallowness and proud stupidity. I hate being around fools and stupidity.
The "crazy" stuff was always a shit take. The original Moon Knight was not a loon. He acted as 4 different people to gain an advantage in his war in crime. Thats a far more interesting, nuanced take then just "crazy." And I won't say I had high hopes for this show, but I didnt think it would suck. Because there's nothing in the Moon Knight mythos that they could use to WOKE the character. Boy was I wrong. It's like the producers just saw "Egypt" on Moon Knights Wikipedia page and wrote the entire show around that. It's like the entire show was just a launching pad for their new female Egyptian superhero that they obviously care about way more than the audience does.
Are we talking about the moon knight that punched werewolves here? I mean if you wanna compare him to modern day comics he’s pretty fucking normal in this show compared to the comics. I also don’t personally agree having 4 disguises is more interesting than his mind shattering into these disguises, and having the character try and fight crime whilst trying to heal the best he can. What’s wrong about expanding the Egyptian mythos of his powers? You don’t seem to really specify apart from Layla becoming an Egyptian superhero, which is weird cause my complaint is it was crammed in to the finale and forgotten about. But you’re saying they spent more time with her than Marc and Steven?? Did we forget episode 5 had the two of them having all the screen time??
It’s pronounced An - new - bis ,NOT Ana-bis. You should know how it’s pronounced considering how much you used to rave about the Exoanse and the name Anubis was pretty pretty prominent in the first season
Hello Gary... I got to tell you that normally I agree 100% with your takes on the M-SHE-U... But this show, for me at least was fairly reasonable... First off I dont know who Moonknight is... Never heared of the character before... So I found the show to be nice... Also I did not feel that Layla was a "Strong independant womhan" like captain marvel for example... Yeah she saved moon knight a couple of times... but so did he... so to me it sort of balanced out... and the romance/chemistry between them was really good... So to me all in all was a decent show...
Exactly. He fails to mention that the saving isn’t exclusively Layla saving Marc and Steven in order to make it seem like his point is right when it really isn’t
Ayo don't start a whole debate in the replies guys. I had people get into a whole political debate over me preferring a different shade of blue on the French flag in one video I watched. My comment was just criticism of a (in my opinion) mediocre TV show. Everyone can have their own opinions about it. Just be civil and courteous.
@@cheesycheddah9211 You're asking for far too much my guy. They aren't here to debate. That would require being even slightly open to the other side's point of view.
Moon Knight was great. I really enjoyed the entire show. I hope now that all 3 personalities have been revealed that we get more Moon Knight fights in season 2. Layla was great. She was pretty badass without powers and didn't overshadow MK in his own show. I don't really understand the hate here.
I do agree with Gary that the lack of Moon Knight in the actual costume was an issue, but the character development of Steven and Marc and the *incredible* acting by Oscar Isaac more than made up for it and made the fight scenes we *did* get in the costume that much more impactful. Everything else though is him grasping at straws, like making it seem like Layla overshadowed Marc and was better than him when in reality they fought equally and side by side and saved each other’s asses on multiple occasions, and intentionally misconstruing things and leaving out important plot points (like Layla not randomly finding Marc in London in Episode 2, in the actual episode she said how she tracked his phone, which Gary conveniently didn’t mention, to the Avatar of Osiris being in league with Harrow the whole time and that being the reason the Ennead let him go free instead of them just being ignorant, which again Gary conveniently didn’t mention) to push his agenda. Hopefully now that it’s implied Jake will be Moon Knight going forward in any future appearances, we get more of the gritty badass Moon Knight from the comics and even more cool fight scenes. Sorry for the long rant, it just pisses me off when reviewers make a show, its plot and its characters sound worse than they actually are just to push their agenda, something he is so apparently against
This guy is just really misogynistic. Cannot handle a female character that isn’t either a 2 dimensional “femme-fatal” sex object or a weak, hollow-headed damsel in distress.
@@lysersalvador5022 I have. You know there are different degrees of enjoyment, right? I can like these and think the Netflix shows are better. It's not that complicated.
lmfao dude moon knight has the best origin story and the storytelling is just amazing mohammed diab and the whole mk crew did it perfectly let's not lie it was so satisfying to watch marc,steven,layla making their character development and they left hints for jake througout the show and made him to the post credit scene making us wanting more of jake which fits perfectly they did hints layla to be the scralet scarab from the first and she's a very brave and strong women who have fighting skills in general there are so many things to be appreciated in this show ,stop making this videos
It’s funny cause all these people keep watching mcu project lmao, but while they try and hate every single bit of it we just like the parts me like and are ok with it
Some 'critics' seems to think that just having a woman or minority in your show automatically makes it 'woke shit'. They also eat Tidepods for breakfast
Imagine thinking this was a bait and switch. Moon Knight is still Moon Knight. He doesn't lose his powers to Layla. Layla thought Marc/Steven was dead. Marc convinced Taweret to send a message to Layla, and the goddess offers Layla the role of her avatar. This is not a bait and switch. A real bait and switch would be for Marc/Steven to lose his powers and Layla to become the new Moon Knight. It doesn't happen though.
Dude….You either skipped the beginning or didn’t watch the video at all. He was talking about the bait and switch with scarlet scarab, who is a Man in the comics
@@eddyoneal612 nope first the character is basically a whole different thing from what the comics was same little concept and idea but it's not even close and when he talks about bait and switch he's clearly talking about what the other MCU shows was doing which was introducing female characters that would outshine the other male cast which is true for the most part but here hell nah moon knight and Marc as a whole completely outshines anything in this show and little moments from Layla is just hella nitpicking like you gotta be serious though the show has hella problems it's still decent not as a moon knight tv show but as a superhero show its decent especially compared to the other Disney + shows
@@eddyoneal612 the scarlet scarab is multiple characters in the comics. it's the mantle/title of the El Faoul family. Abdullah El Faoul is Layla's father and he's the one based on the scarlet scarab Abdul Faoul you're thinking of. Abdul inherits the mantle from his father Mehmet and if he didn't die in the comics would have passed it down to his child. In this mcu continuity Abdullah did have a child Layla and she takes on the scarab title, that's why her father used to call her his little scarab and the goddess tawaret tells her how delighted her father will be to hear that she's becoming an avatar. Her father had the red scarf, the scarlet scarab colors but she wears white so maybe she'll be the white scarab or something either way she's not gender swapped she's just next in line for the mantle. It's very weird that you guys are acting upset about a character you clearly knew absolutely nothing about.
All of you replying to me have me misunderstood big time. Nowhere In my comment did I say I had a problem with the show nor did I say I had a problem with scatlet being a woman. ALL I WAS DOING was telling the Main commenter that Nerdrodic wasn’t referring to moonlight when he was talking about the bait an switch. Chill tf out all of u 😭 and thank you for the exposé on scarlet scarab, I learned something I didn’t know at all🙌🏾
Honestly dude what's up with you are you afraid of women or something it's just women in the MCU did you expect the avengers to be a sausage fest or something for the rest of its run like I don't understand you just don't want any female characters like at all I don't understand it at all
I suffered to the end of Wanda, and episode 1.5 was as far as I could stand to go with Loki. Blue Falcon and the Ice princess got zero watches from me, Same with that Hawkeye retirement series. Nope. Didn't even bother with this hot mess. I'll keep rewatching Venture Bros.
I did not watch wandavision at all. I highly dislike both wanda and vision as characters personally, and with how disney is suping up the females while depowering the male heroes it is getting old.
I never watched Wandavision because it looked too weird like it had some alternate realities thing going on and dreams and I’m not a fan of them. Also never cared about Scarlet Witch growing up.
Wandavision had an interesting start but ended badly, falcon and the winter soldier was boring, Loki again was boring aswell as Hawkeye. Jeremy renner didn’t even look like he wanted to be there.
Jesus Christ. One of your first main talking points is that she is “riding around and randomly finds him”. Literally, IN THE SAME SCENE, Steven says “How did you find me” and she says “I tracked your phone”. Did you even watch the show?
Show was good, really enjoyed it. Not sure what you guys are crying about, but it was fun as hell and enjoyable for someone who has been a long time fan of the comics. Don't get me wrong, I'm tired of the forced M-She-U shit too and see this phase as a real decline over all, the Bob Iger mandates and souless projects like Captain Marvel, Shang Chi and Eternals have really robbed the brand of any legitimate momentum and will most likely spell an uphill battle for any future MCU efforts. But holy shit, Layla has such a small role in the final battle that for you guys to be crying about it just validates everything the SJWs say about those who dare to complain. You're probably the same butthurt troglodites who didn't like Falcon and the Winter Soldier because it dealt with issues of race which it took directly from the comics themselves. Did you guys even watch the episode or did you all just come here to chirp for daddy Nerdrotic? Marc is still the Moon Knight (via Jake Lockley) and we've no confirmation that Layla even still has her powers. I get it, we know what they're doing, we know their agenda and we know things will get worse before they get better (if they get better), but throwing a temper tantrum at every little turn just makes you all sound so pathetic. At least Clownfish TV plays it down the middle for the fans, but you, Nerdrotic, are barely any better than the Quartering as you've both evolved from legitmately passionate fans to alt-right shills mining outrage for views akin to Tucker Carlson on fox news. OH NOES! THERE'S A WAMAN IN MY COMIC BOOK SHOW! You people are just unpleasable.
It seems like you're just trying to get free likes and views from the marvel haters and that's all you've ever done Moon night was about Moon night you followed his story for like the whole show in the Batman Batman gets saved by Catwoman it's believable that the superhero can't take on everything by himself and someone comes to save them that's why he has allies you know like Robin by the way there have been female robins
I understand but come on now, now you’re just hating marvel cause it’s marvel. I do get it but to say Moon Knight is bad that’s just crazy. I’m a fan of marvel not a Stan so I can agree with you on some but Moon Knight is a good show.
What got me was when a mummy could lift the weight of a bulky mercenary and place it on an alter but struggled and lost to Layla in a contest of strength when trying to stab her in episode 4.
And most of the times they are white dudes. That's their way of showing their hatred toward white men. Pathetic, childish and such behavior is destructive to society.
I am okay with the entire show the way it is. For me, it was pretty enjoyable and I dont hate Layla. But when the girl asks Layla if she is an Egyptian Superhero, I just lost faith in the rest of the finale (which was not too bad).
@@Sutatu exactly rather than actually be diverse I am almost always seeing white dudes as bad guys... Also mostly English accent as well.. I feel personally attacked haha
Sometimes i think your criticisms are pretty valid, and other times i feel like you're just complaining for complainings sake. This show isnt perfect, but its nowhere near as bad as you are making it out to be.
@@maverick33guy95 that's ok that you like it but it's terrible and in the end it was just a way for them to use him to promote a new female hero who was originally a male character.
Layla's character i feel was there for a substantial amount of time and didnt really affect the story telling too much, she's just an important character along side aurthur and marc. its a good show that focuses on mental struggle and moral dilemma. this video just feels and sounds like an incel ranting shitpost
We really are in atime where people can't enjoys things anymore. It's a good show it's not a perfect adaptation but it does the job and is alot better than the some of the other marvel shows marvel still has some good stuff left. People just seem to be too critical
They expect fucking picasso works of art from every marvel show because marvel is what people watch nowadays where they hate it or love it marvel is still killing it and are the number one shows and movies being watched right now so idk
@@HDGaminTutorials No but they expect when they turn into a show called Moon Knight, to be surprisingly about Moon Knight. Not about MK alter ego sucking his thumb while strong secondary female character does everything.
I think Moon Knight went half way through development before Marvel realized they wanted to make it a TV show. The whole thing from episode 1 felt like a low budget movie with a bunch of filler cut in.
The show could have been much better but Issac’s performance was absolutely outstanding.
Indeed ! He is superb actor
Agreed. Issac's perfomance and episode 5 were the best in the series, surprise surprise, the only one that didn't have Layla saving Steven for 40 minutes
Absolutely
was looking for a comment like this 💯
No. The show is perfect. Hands down the best in the MCU
Honestly i enjoyed the fact that his MOM was the abusive one instead of the dad. It kinda shows that they still somewhat care to show women as something other than strong, independent, perfect innocent angels
Why should it matter smh
@@greaterthanharrowk1679 well, representation is all that matters right? Might as well get THAT in there 🤷

It’s always men who are depicted as abusive. You rarely see a woman portrayed as abusing her kid.
it really isn’t that deep bro 💀
I'm sorry man, but this video has way too much hypocrisy. You changed too many facts to fit your narrative.
0:13 - Not a bait and switch. It was advertised as a psychological story about Steven Grant, and him learning about Marc and Moon Knight with some Indiana Jones moments in there. We got exactly what was advertised.
0:35 - I don't see why this should be taken poorly. Scarlet Scarab from the comics was very obscure and nobody even liked the character to begin with. What they did to Taskmaster was shitty, this was not.
2:27 - That was *your* favourite run, not the run the series was based off. If I'm not mistaken, the series took more inspiration from Jeff Lemire and Greg Smallwood's run.
2:39 - They say you only see what you wish to see. This is clear in your words. I watched a series about Marc, viewed majorly through the eyes of Steven. I did not watch a story about Steven and Layla. The lack of Moon Knight wasn't good, but as an origin story it worked well enough. Still, they could have taken notes from Daredevil.
3:09 - Compare Batman and Daredevil. Bruce Wayne has less problems than Matt Murdock does, and this is because of the money difference. If Steven Grant was written as a billionaire playboy, it removes half the intrigue of the show and will become "Batman, but less interesting", where half his problems are solved with money, or plot holes are created because half the problems could have been solved with money.
3:43 - Not everyone knows this. Superheroes have become more mainstream, and a lot of people who watched the show probably never knew who Moon Knight was. The reveal of Steven being Marc's alter was directed towards them, not us.
4:18 - We were never shown how the Kingpin built his empire in Daredevil, but that worked out well. This has a similar intrigue in the beginning few episodes where you never knew who was a follower of Ammit.
4:51 - He's not Ammit's avatar. He became her avatar at the end, but he doesn't have a costume because he isn't a warrior (or atleast lost his ability to fight, resulting in his need for a cane. It's established that he used to be a warrior for Khonshu).
5:51 - It takes a real good eye to notice the other characters are "diverse", especially considering that Osiris' avatar (the main guy talking) is a white male.
6:45 - It's a showing of faith similar to walking on hot coal. He also does mention that he repents the sins he committed once (probably as Khonshu's avatar), which is probably why he did that.
8:45 - First off, it's pronounced "Aah-nu-bis" not "Eh-na-bes". Secondly, a little bit of research will tell you that Tawaret is infact responsible for bringing life through birth, and equally responsible for cleansing the souls of the dead and allowing them to pass through the afterlife.
8:56 - Okay, now I'm sure that we were watching different shows. Although I can respect opinions.
9:34 - Not because they are missing one heart, but rather because either Steven or Marc's heart isn't pure.
11:33 - I'm pretty sure the reason why Layla did't want to be an avatar was because she saw what it did to Marc. Nothing to do with the "Fierce, independent woman" argument.
12:08 - I'm pretty sure the gates of "Osiris" were opened by, well... Osiris. The god in control of the aforementioned white male from the ennead.
12:30 - Moon Knight's powers are derived from the moon. He is at maximum power when the moon is full, and the moon was full.
12:58 - That's Tawaret in control of Layla, not Layla herself.
13:38 - I've seen worse from better films. It's a pet peeve but not a criticism.
15:20 - Okay, erm... That's not a "Disney-Marvel problem", that's a Marvel comics creative decision. Ever since Spiderman, Marvel has made their heroes more relatable instead of being "Alpha males" that have no personal problems whatsoever. Even Superman's most loved character trait is that he is apologetic, wholesome and a boy scout. A good superhero show isn't "Good guy beats bad guy", it's one with a good character and actual moral problems beyond just the bad guy. Again, opinions are valid.
15:32 - Experts have stated that Moon Knight's depiction of DID was accurate and well done.
15:48 - I guess the professional critical reception to the show should be wrong then, because it seems like Moon Knight was highly appreciated. Even Marvel didn't anticipate it to be as good as it was, with rumors that they want Moon Knight to return for an unplanned sequel.
Also, I do believe that Marc has saved Layla many times, which weren't mentioned here for some reason (not to mention the fact that he literally tries to protect her from Khonshu throughout the show).
For someone who seems heavily against mixing politics and entertainment (also known as being "woke"), you seem to love mixing politics with your form of entertainment. Either you are an extreme hypocrite, or you don't keep an open mind when reviewing Disney stuff. The show wasn't perfect, but it's still better than you make it out to be. For those who are reading this, I don't hate Gary or anything, but I do call out BS when I see it. Although he made some good criticisms a lot of it was pure BS.
Awesome list, but I'd like to add...
5:32 - His example of bad CGI is from a Scooby Doo movie. It's inserted to imply it's from this show, but it's not. The actual jackal monster is shown just a few seconds later. Seems pretty dishonest.
6:35 - In the Layla/bodyguard fight, the bodyguard was manhandling her until she stabbed him. He had literally just tossed her across the room a frame before, and she realized she had no chance and resorted to her knives. And yes, 2 knives in the chest would end any fight, even against someone bigger and stronger.
I'm sure I could go on, but frankly I don't feel like watching this biased "review" again. It's clear that he likes to cherry pick scenes to fit his narrative. That is not to say that the show was perfect, but this guy does not paint an accurate picture. Then again, "hate for clicks" seems popular these days, so I have no doubt that it's deliberate.
Well, I was going to speak on this hypocrisy, but, you both laid out everything I would've said! Much respect!
I agree.
Two more things to add to your list that Gary conveniently forgot to mention are that Layla didn’t randomly find Marc in London, in the scene right after that she mentions how she tracked his phone, and that it was revealed that the avatar for Osiris was in league with harrow the whole time and that’s why the ennead let him go free, not because they were ignorant. I really hate how he intentionally leaves out critical information just to push his narrative
God damn u wrote an essay in cmnt section
As someone who live in Egypt for a while, I quite enjoyed this series. I also enjoyed the Arabic language being accurate and the credits music using modern Egyptian music. Also, I didn't really get the impression that this series was woke. As far as the "Are you an Egyptian hero" comment from random girl, it was more an Egyptian pride signal than a virtue signal. After all, Egyptians are very self conscious of their history.
can we please add that the director took to twitter how awful the depiction of Egypt in other films and shows was, only showing pyramids cheap laborers and some dirty markets. So how he took it upon himself to normalize and modernize our vision of Egypt. Just to show us pyramids, some cheap laborers and dirty markets all over again? Thank you Mr Diab.
I find it more egregious for the director to use rule of cool over a proper depiction of a god in its purview. Especially if you're trying to ride in on the authentic representation horse. Pyramids, shady markets, mummies, and scarab themes are cool. Disrespecting peoples religion and gods is not. Or am I out of date with the npc patch notes?
He showed Cairo and way more culture. Are you blind?
@@jasonspencer8558 If you speak as a local and you recognized the actual places of his sets? good for you, but as someone who's not from Egypt to me what the guy did looked just bad. It didn't even look like it was filmed on location, more like built sets in a studio. That's good representation? And that's true that there was exactly nothing new in this compared to what Hollywood did before, Idk which movie you watched with "way more culture".
@@jasonspencer8558 Cairo's a shit hole. Why not show that.
Haha right!
I think you forgot to mention that Khonshu revealed that he NEVER wanted Layla at all in the post credit scene because Mark was more troubled and easier for him to use because of his personas
He didn’t forget, he intentionally left that out in order to push his woman hating narrative
He lied to Mark about wanting Layla so that Mark obey him. But this guy for some reason wants every character in the mcu to be edgy, dark and narcissistic.
@@mtk1808Bruh Moon Knight is the epitome of edgy...the guy is right. The show sucks, it's not Moon Knight
Holy shit that scene where that kid said “are you an Egyptian hero?” And she answered was so out of place and had current Hollywood written all over it 💀
Notice they had to throw in the country theme into the question instead of just asking, "Are you a hero?" So much signaling....
that scene is the only issue I had with the entire show
Ikr so outta place
I will give Gary that, that was a bs moment, probably the only complaint I have about the entire show. Also you’re telling me that that girl automatically assumed the woman who saved her was Egyptian?
@@GustEdgeOfficial doesn't matter..it is a woke show afterall..
I have to admit for not knowing anything about moonknight I did enjoy the show. But I understand why fans of the original comics find it disrespectful and not the level it should be. You are right that they have a problem dealing with male super heroes. I would like to have seen more moonknight fight scenes rather than mark knight scenes.
Moon knight is way more complexed than dude fights in white costume, he is a character that needs to be built up like he was in the show
I definitely agree, I didn't know anything at all about moon knight and I loved the show
Yeah it I actually liked it.
The moon knight comics were brutal, and for MCU standards this show was actually pretty dark. But still watered down (9/10 show)
@@Stevie_tha_tooth people are now just hating because it's Marvel. I really enjoyed the show and I hate when everyone says Layla knows instantly how to control her Power when you have Steven that never fought before fight like a ninja and Layla actually has fighting experience
16:10 I saw someone on reddit give out how much screentime Moon Knight had, and it was less than 9 minutes.
Such a disappointing show. It had some decent ideas but the execution just wasn't there. The MPD thing was lame, Mr. Robot did it better. Ethan Hawke's character was bland and boring. Layla was more of the same. Terrible writing & action too.
nice DOOM pfp
Thanks for remembering all caps, Neon.
Cant forget the all caps
Total crap!
The MPD was lame when it’s part of the character L opinion
What is it with OCs replacing actual comic characters and pushing them aside?! Sylvie replaced Lady Loki and Enchantress Sylvie, Michelle (I refuse to call her MJ) replaced Mary Jane Watson, and now Layla replaced Marlene and an actual Egyptian character from the comics. There's plenty of characters that they can bring in live action, they just seemed to not bother to look it up.
Sounds pretty lazy to me
All comes back to fanfiction.
The Message
I think it's Disney marking their territory. That says it's distinctly theirs, their spin on it. It's insulting.
In my opinion, Michelle Jones is the only pretty good character out of those changes.
Gotta love how Layla automatically knows how to use all of her powers as soon as she gets them
Disney for kids!

@@elongatedmanforever1252 But Marc's father was like this in the comics too.
In the comics, Marc's mother died when he was a kid and his father got constantly beaten & mugged by thugs every single day. Never fighting back.
Marc Spector grew up seeing his father as a pathetic loser and lost all respect for him.
Which inspired Marc to learn to fight and train himself at the gym.
Marc also beat the shit out of his dad for interrupting his boxing match and while Marc's Dad laid on the floor, Marc signed out a form to join the Marines and abandoned his father for 15 years.
His Dad would die of old age sometime during Marc's superhero career as Moon Knight, never seeing his son again and never getting an apology.
(So yeah, Marc's Dad has always been a pathetic loser).

@@elongatedmanforever1252 To be fair, Peacemaker's father was a Nazi in the original comics. They only retcon it so that the DC racist villain "The White Dragon" was his father.
Some comics with great father figures include: Superman, Zatanna, Ms. Marvel (Kamala), The Phantom, Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes), Ragman, Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), and HellCat.
In HellCat's case, her mother was a selfish and entitled woman who put herself above her children. HellCat's Father got a divorce and fought hard in court to take his kids with him, but of course the mother ended up getting full custody of their children.
The mother would go on to tell lies about how awful of a human being HellCat's father was.
HellCat eventually learns the truth about how much her father loved her, after her mother died.
Honestly I don't have problems with the show
Me too! I like that show wasn’t at all affiliated with Thanos or the aftermath of Endgame or anything avengers related at all. And I appreciate that Oscar Isaac was given a more interesting role than Po Damrin from Star Wars

The one Steven save I didn’t mind much was the flare one. Though not sure if a flare would explode the ammo crate, she had to save him using her wits instead of being a generic warrior woman.
She was a generic warrior woman though throughout the entire show.
@@elongatedmanforever1252 far from it. She scraped by most of her scuffles by the skin of her teeth, not dissimilar from the hobbits somehow man again to kill orcs and Uruk-hai in the LotR films.

@@ManSeekingMeaning
No she wasn't dude, she was utterly insufferable and annoying, she basically did everything while Marc & Steven bumbled around.
Yeah sure "She got Scrapped", from fighting a mummy and also the time a man twice her size threw her against a pole & she shook it off like nothing, She seems to be able to fight enemies without getting hurt or dying, While Moon knight literally gets stabbed multiple times, she also becomes terawatts avatar and becomes a expert with using her abilities rey Skywalker style yep she's definitely "Tolerable" as she essentially does everything, and says she doesn't need "Protecting" very subtle dialogue.
@@elongatedmanforever1252 like I said the only save I didn’t mind was the flare one, the rest of the time she was generally cringeworthy.

Layla is definitely a trash character
You mispronounced Annubis but not surprised sense you also didn't know that in Egyptian mythology that tarawet does fairy people across the underworld Annubis just runs it. I would love to hear how many people actually love the villain the scarlet scarab and care that the name changed to a new hero. Not many people knew about moon knight so not knowing Marc was the main persona or not knowing about Jake lockley isn't a stretch. Also, idk if you missed the dialogue in the post credit scene but khonshu does reveal that he never wanted Layla because Marc is so broken "why would I need anyone else". Also the childhood trauma is very accurate as to how people get DID and not just "oh guess what I need a billionaire persona". I mean Honestly do you think if they kept that billionaire persona it'd be better? You would probably sit her and say "they are just trying to copy batman". I also love how you don't have a save counter for all the times Steven and Marc save Layla because God forbid something doesn't fit with your message. It's hilarious how hard you try rag on everything marvel. Do the shows and movies have issues yeah, are they like DC movie level bad where they completely miss the mark, no.
How many times Steve and Marc saved Layla?
@@heroncolby2842 about 5-6 times that I can remember
Its funny, I used to think like you that Nerdrotic was just some Misandrist ranting against Marvel, that he couldn't be right, but more and more I'm seeing the influence of "THE MESSAGE" over good storytelling and when I watched Dr. Strange 2 and watched him essentially go "The power was in you all along, strong independent Woman" I couldn't help but think of his predictions.
@@Nehesi that's a trope that goes back to the wizard of OZ. But Dr. Strange didn't say that because "oh you are a woman who is better than any man" no if it was a male character he would've said the same thing. Tell me where Dr. Strange said it was because she's a woman and she's better than any man. He never says that and if your argument is simply that he doesn't have to and you can tell they wrote it because she's female then that's a big reach and a nitpick.

I liked Moon Knight and this man is painfully stupid.
Taweret is here because in some Egyptian myths she guards the souls of the dead travelling to the underworld, she is also a god of resurrection.... 2 minute google search.
Khonsu admitted that he didn't want Layla at the end, he was using her to scare Marc into compliance.
Khonsu also didn't really want Marc, he wanted Jake because Jake is a psychotic killing machine.
Layla also didn't want to be an avatar because a. She wasnt dying like Marc was when he accepted b. because she saw the toll that it took on Marc/Steven.
Layla escaping the fake cops isn't that awesome, she hides outside and is clearly scared (time stamp 4.11)
The 2nd Layla save count makes no sense, he falls beside her scooter. It's also pointless, neither Marc/Steven,Layla or Khonsu save the day in the end, Jake does.
The multiracial/gender avatars.....I'm sorry a 50 something odd man crying about this is cringe, it's just cringe.
The reason Harrow puts glass in his shoes is explained when he meets Ammit, again this man is painfully stupid.
And on the subject of Moon Knight screen time; The Nolan Batman series feature Batman on screen on average of about 15% of the entire trilogies run time; it's a weak arsed complaint.
This post took far longer than this idiot deserved.
Yes exactly like I don't think it's as bad as he paints it to be but I do think it could've been much better specially for a moon knight tv show it had hella potential but since it's Disney it's expected some of the nitpicks here we're actually dumb ngl he didn't even try to understand context from the actual show and he just kinda pulled shit out of his ass
Not that deep. Some people may like it some may not. Majority may not but some may. Doesn’t matter for such a shitty looking show.
Not to mention that Anubis was shown to be one of the gods encased in stone by the Ennead. Taweret was only recently brought in to do his job, hence why she had the papyrus cue cards and her saying she hasn’t done this in a while.

I wish Moon Knight had more fight scenes
Fight scenes are expensive. You have to choreograph them, rehearse them, and film them multiple times, then the editing is really hard. It's much cheaper to shoot a bunch of green-screen CGI afterlife bullshit.
This is the same reason there was hardly any kung-fu in _Iron Fist,_ and why _Reacher_ stopped having any fight scenes after the first few episodes. Also why all the fight scenes in the old Star Trek shows were laughable, but we forgive them for that.
@@Bacteriophagebs I thought we forgave them for the same reason we forgave old school godzilla. Watching him waddle around and destroy the prop buildings. It's the what's trying to be told and shown in the story over just flash. Disney has lots of flash but not substance to the story.

I’m tired of this repeated pattern..
I want more diversity…of storytelling
This one was probably the closest relative to the others; but still, narratively extremely frustrating.
Feels in a lot of ways like a spiritual successor of antman and the wasp except it was the Moonman and the Scarab lol
Similar dynamic between the pairs.
I wouldn’t really agree about the comparison. Ant man and the wasp was a lot more light hearted fun than what moon knight turned out to be. I certain wouldn’t call child abuse “light hearted fun” especially
I wasn’t referring to a similarity in plot; I was referring to a similarity in dynamic of the duos themselves.
The titular character comes first and is powerful but then they have a love interest that comes in later that is a bit more capable - and flies!
(she flies now! I just think that’s humorous because it was Oscar Isaac that said it in Star Wars lol)
Also, the female counterpart has a parent that is gone that they have resentment towards a male character about said loss.
Just noticed some similarities is all.
@@0Sutekinaryuu0 well a similar character dynamic doesn't make the storytelling less diverse if it has something more interesting to explore such as moon knight's psyche and his origins being more twisted then your average superhero.

@@ghrosenb I wouldn’t call it just a gimmick if under the right hands. DID itself doesn’t really get acknowledged well besides being a horror gimmick, I say gimmick specifically towards horror because it’s either a more scary interpretation or it’s a plot twist or some shit.

C'mon, man, this show wasn't that bad, especially for a D+ show. Sure, some of the scenes were kind of cringey, but the story was interesting, and there was an element of mystery, and most of all Oscar Isaac's performance was quite good. I don't care about Layla or the Scarlet Scarab, but don't think her presence poisoned the show too much. They could have made her much more insufferable. Of course, I come to all current Marvel projects with extremely low expectations, which does increase the odds of being pleasantly surprised.
True
Nah the ending ruined the show. It was just mid at best. If you fucked up the final few episodes then it affects the rest of the series.
I thought Layla was cute af so i enjoyed her screen time 😬
@@smurgerburger No it didn't
@@GinNBoost me too just except episode 6 where they screwed it all up
You know if there was a show featuring a character that could’ve rivaled Daredevil it would’ve been Moon Knight.
Daredevil remains untouched I’m afraid.
Side note: where the hell is Bushman? He would’ve been better
His name is too triggering, he has MAN in his name, that's too much for Marvel.
The Punisher had promise. Great casting of the man himself. Season one was.... Decent.... Then season 2 plummeted down with the smarmy, annoying little girl (who is the key to everything) sidekick smart mouthing our stone cold, hard as steel, ruthless Punisher. She wasn't the least bit intimidated by the man. It went from somewhat promising to borderline unwatchable. Went from that amazing prison fight scene where he slaughters multiple inmates.. to then seeing the Punisher fight hand-to-hand with female assassins to the death. Which was hysterically immersion ruining but also wildly entertaining at the same time. Quite the contrast. Those two scenes sum up the two seasons perfectly.
Lol. wrong.
even DCs Watchmen destroyed daredevil and won a record 11 Emmys.
that's Daredevil destroyed.
no Bushman had to much testosterone. He would had offended the beta/SJW crowd
@@Mate397 it's funny you mention that because he's black so would've been a good opportunity for some diversity points, but yea you're right still a man

@@darrellpowell6042 nah
Don’t necessarily agree with this being the worst Marvel series yet, let alone being bad at all. Oscar Isaac proved how great of an actor he is, while episode 5 left me heartbroken and teary-eyed by the end. While Steven was initially not likeable for me, by the finale I was rooting for him and Marc equally which really shows how good the characterization was for both personalities. Honestly, I’m not too bothered with Layla being her own superhero as the Scarlet Scarab. She didn’t come across as OP (i.e. actually struggled against Harrow’s goons/didn’t single handedly defeat Harrow). I was worried for a bit that she was gonna actually gonna take up the mantle of Moon Knight which would’ve completely turned off any of my interests in the show. Although, it did occasionally come across my realization that Layla was saving Marc/Steven a little too often.
Yeah this was nowhere near as boring or illogical or woke as Black Falcon and the Non-Descript Soyldier.
Least it was pretty to look at...
I agree with you - this show was entertaining, and Oscars performance was Emmy worthy. Also a show I looked forward to, and it met my expectations.
Ms marvel on the other hand is nothing I look forward to, and it is not on my watch list. Probably no loss skipping it. I rather watch the obi wan show- hopefully it won’t be a total shit show
Not significantly any more (if even) than Marc/Steven/Jake saved her, though.
Episode 2: Steven saves Layla from the Jackal. It's the first time he shows confidence in action.
Episode 3: Marc protects Layla from the firing squad with his cloak, and later saves her from Anton Mogart who struck her down
Episode 4: Steven kills the mummy was chasing Layla, later Marc faces the Disciples of Ammit, allowing Layla to hide
Episode 6: Steven tackles Harrow right as he has Layla pinned, later on Jake saves everyone, including Layla
Layla got saved 7 times.
I don't get his hate at all. The characterization of Steven and Marc was wonderful and the show didn't feel feminist or race bending at all. Nerdrotic is too much foxed on anti-sjw, to the point where he sees everything as sjw propaganda.
@@dipanjanghosal1662 There are times where "woke" stuff is glaringly significant, out of place, and deserving of being called out (Ghostbusters 2016, Terminator Dark Fate, Amazon's LOTR etc). But, it's important to recognise when it's legitimate "wokeness" on display, and when it's not, otherwise you just risk diluting the overall point you're trying to make.
That “Message” part caught me off guard LOL!
“Randomly runs into his wife” nope She was tracking his phone to find him so it makes sense
I liked the show but I felt some of that M-She-U nonsense coming out. I enjoyed the great acting from Oscar Isaac but I hated the lack of Moon Knight in the show. He was literally in the entire show for about 10 to 15 minutes
Same. It was an interesting show if you didn't know how Moon Knight was in the comic book. Probably the best one from D+ so far. Disney just can't handle superheroes with their current LG TV+ and feminist agenda. Also Oscar Isaac's contract was only for this show, so it is probably we won't see anymore Moon Knight in the foreseeable future.
Oh, but when it was all men you never complained about the "M-HE-U"?
m-she-u lmao what there's still barely any female superheroes compared to the amount of male ones. the shows that everyones complaining about are also mostly focusing on male heroes with cameos or introductions of female ones on the side.
@@ShadowSonic2 Yes because the M-He-U you speak of was all about the story and source material. M-She-U focuses on pushing some crappy social agenda. The gender-swapping of male characters to female is a good example. Looking beyond Disney+ and you'll see why woke shows like Batwoman failed. Ghostbusters reboot: failed.There are great female characters in Comics and fiction but they are great because of their abilities and awesome storylines, not solely on their gender. Sarah Connor, Wonder Woman and Ellen Ripley to name a few.
@@vilteb4701 Except for Loki. Plus did you see Doctor Strange 2?
I always wanted to see Moon Knight adapted. It’s honestly incredible how dull the execution was. He’s one of the most inherently “bad ass” characters Marvel has, but they somehow made it lame.
I thought it was going to be a Batman-style show with some violent action and cool setpieces/kills. It was lame.
Yep
because they can’t stand a powerful male protagonist anymore, even sharing the screen with a powerful female one is too much
i WAS WAITING FOR THE SECOOND COMING OF DAREDEVIL.....instead i got this shit. Im buying the moonknight comics now.
Why is this latino actor getting characters that keep getting c cked the f k out.
I knew that we weren't going to get hyper-violent MK like the comics, but what we got didn't even come close to what an MK show should be. Someone said that this should have rivaled Daredevil. I agree 100%, this should have taken the "best Marvel show" crown hands down. What we got was race bending, character revisionist crap.

Dude, everything is a disaster to you. It wasn't a disaster, it wasn't amazing but had amazing performances, the story was coherent and not full of plot holes like spiderman NWH, characters were likable, a rushed ending, that for sure, but seriously, you are nitpicking at the stupidest thing in sa comic book series. "Leyla fights a guy twice her size with her necklace" , yes, yes she does, that's exactly the kind of things that happens in comics. And who cares if "Moon Knight" isn't ominipresent? If you just want the punchy punch stuff go watch Death Battle. God forbid they explore characters for once. Take away the snarky tone of the video and pretty much nothing you say would sound like a critique.
This show is wasted potential squared. For a show about Moon Knight we barely got any of it. This could’ve been like Batman meets Fight Club meets The Mummy but what we ended up getting was pathetic man baby who had to be constantly saved by his wifey. Oscar Isaac gave it his all for sure but he deserved better then this.
@@tylerjames805 I agree, it could've been more, but what we got ain't bad, not perfect, for sure, but not badf either by any means. If anything, i'd say it was too short to delve in every aspect we would have hoped to see, but still, other than that, the story is compact, coherent and doesn't really have any major flaws.
Moon Night wasn't that bad. (Not great). But Compared to the rest of the crap. Moon Night held true to the Comic pretty basically well. I found it entertaining... Let the pitch forks fly. I honestly enjoyed it. I'm correct fully going to get killed for this, but I found it entertaining. Nough said.
Seriously? 6 episodes and we got a total of 10 minutes of screen time for the title character.... It was horrible, I want the time back that I devoted to watching that mess... If you genuinely thought it was entertaining head outside, find a nice patch of grass and watch it grow, there is more entertainment there without all the hidden messages. ;)
People can like what they want but if you're gonna call a show by a name, maybe that named character should appear a bit more.
Calling this a disaster is insane. This dude and most of the people who watches these videos have marvel derangement. At the end of the day these are movies for kids and teens that are based on comics for kids and teens that people are far too personally invested in to a point where it is pathetic
@@originalscottfree It was probably due to cgi issues/budget issues? which could have been avoided if it was a grounded character and not a supernatural one, they could have went with the tactical suit and not whole cgi one.

It was far from perfect but I didn’t think was downright terrible. I really liked Oscar Issac’s portrayal of the character and I do hope we get more of his Moon Knight in the future.
I agree. It wasn't as disastrous as some people are making it out to be.
Its a pretty offensive show ngl
Same. I could do with less Layla and more Marc being BA though. Also Steven actually learning how to handle himself in a fight.
I liked moon knight fine, I do agree that Layla character did reduce the quality of the show quite a bit. first few episodes she was fine. Final two kinda overboard. Why did the avatar of mothers want Layla as an avatar? that needed more explanation and an episode or two of her getting used to her suit. Of course, I might have bad taste, liked Loki as well, just felt the show would have been way better if they didn't nerf Loki so much. He could take punches from captain America like nothing, but in the show, regular guards could go toe to toe with him.
Why did the avatar of mothers want Layla as an avatar?
Because she wanted to help save the world and Layla was the best available candidate, very easy to understand.
She wanted her to be her avatar because Steven recommended her and she also knew her dad
Loki is also a frost giant isn't he?
It's ok to have bad tastes, I love bad B movies. Look up velcipastor, it's glorious.
If you are enjoying something, even if it's just decent and average then don't watch reviewers.
Their are many honest reviewer who liked the show even after having a good knowledge about moon knight.
Honestly, the "you are a Egyptian hero" was the only bad thing I hated. Like it was forced.

The series was definitely more enjoyable than the other Disney+ MCU series. The pacing was terrible, they have too many of the “Omg Jake Lockley” moments instead of showing it. The series should’ve had more supernatural and horror scenes. They should’ve cut the “Are you an Egyptian superhero?” scene. The girl should’ve been scared, traumatized and running for her life, she just saw tons of people drop down dead.
Yes , it was forced too much
Right, dude. That was just dumb as fuck.

@@thorneto2742 that's great then, if it empowered a handful kids it's pretty cool, but it's just that they shouldn't use the race or orientation of any character to relate to a character , for example I'm not a white dude from new york , I live in India , I could relate to tobey Very well in the Raimi series when I was akid.. I related to him because he faced similar family problems , relation ship issues like me , not because he was a specific race or orientation.. the current movies make being a specific race or orientation in itself to be sort of super power.. which really sucks.. just write good characters,, that all we ask..

This dude is way too sensitive. This show was not at all about the wife. She was a supporting character… really nothing more. All the emotional payoffs came from Steven and Marc. I don’t know much about the Moon Knight character so I can understand not liking how it differs from the comics but Jesus! This guy is intrenched with cultural war hot topics that it taints his vision. During the best episode of the season as we (the audience) are learning about Marc and why he created Steven, this guy is pointing out how shocked he is that the mom was abusive and not the father 🤣🤣 bro what are you doing?!

I don't know man, like i get the point of view that "they don't know what they missing out on" as from comic readers, but as a non comic reader but still a huge fan of their heroes and stories since as a kid, i found moon knight a really good show, Episode 6 was kinda weak but honestly doesn't ruin the earlier episodes at all.
Edit: Okay.. I'm a conservative, but this is dumb like who cares that they gave a moment to a woman, who cares ? I stg there were so many people for ex in What if, and now i guess in Doctor strange that are SO up set that Captain carter appeared.. Like it's not even a bad character, even the actress is really good unlike brie larson, i was there in the movie theaters and a bald dad body dude in his mid 30s sat behind me, the dude loved the entirety of it. How do i know ? Cause he was giggling away like a child. I just feel that people are way to scared of SJW and now they see phantom SJW's in EVERYTHING.. Just cause they are annoying doesn't mean the opposition isn't just as equally annoying.. I'm gonna be honest, you guys are like expanding the time shes on screen in your minds, it's not that big of a deal.. She was a avatar for half a episode, so what, she didn't shoot laser beams with her eyes and save the day like some amazonian savior, she saved the MC once the finisher went to the MC still.. This show was about the MC, Steven and Mark, focus on that cause that's like 95% of the show..

@Damarion Koger "normies"-🤓🤓🤓🤓
We get it you read 12 million comics instead of touching grass.
Moon Knight is such a cool character, and this show had such potential after the first episode. Just wish Disney / Marvel can figure out how to write a cool female superhero story instead of turning all of their shows / movies into the "female Mary sue has to save inept male superhero even in their own vehicle" trope. it's getting so tired.
I'm gonna be honest here, I could tell just from the snippets of trailers I've seen online that this... show... was going to be trash. It was the look of Marc Spector and how he was presented visually that was my biggest clue.
While I was familiar with Moon Knight for a long time, I got my first real taste of him from the Charlie Huston run, "The Bottom." I met Marc at his dirtiest, his grittiest, his meanest... and I loved it. THAT was my Moon Knight. I knew Disney couldn't possibly touch that version and do it any justice, but what I learned from The Bottom was that Marc Spector was not necessarily a very nice person. He was a mercenary. A soldier. A trained killer. I look at Disney's depiction of Marc and I see... a scared little man. The foppish hair. The constant scenes and shots of him looking all out of sorts, making me think of an awkward teen who somehow got lost at the mall and was just bumbling around hoping to stumble onto the group of friends he came in with. He just looked so... insecure and scared. The Marc I knew was a lot of things. Disturbed, paranoid even. But not insecure and scared like this.
And now I hear that he apparently needed some gender-flipped version of another obscure character to bail his bacon out of the fire. Look, we're talking about Moon Knight. A vigilante hero who wore bright white at night so that his enemies would see him coming and be too afraid to shoot straight. A guy who literally removed the face of one of his biggest enemies. A guy who turned the Taskmaster into a crying heap. The FIst of Khonshu, avatar of the Egyptian god of vengeance... and you're telling me Disney decided THIS GUY needed to be SAVED?
See, I would get on the "boycott Disney Minus" bandwagon... but I never had a subscription in the first place. And shows like this are a big reason for that. Thank you for your hard work, Gary.
Yeah, part of the issue here is that the MCU Moon Knight team wanted to adapt the Jeff Lemire 2016 reboot version of Moon Knight which depicted him as a "Scared little man".
Literally removing his aggressive behavior since childhood, to instead depict him as a scared loner with mental health issues that needed his father. Only leaving him to join the Marines because he felt lost and scared when his father died.
As oppose to the original comics where Marc Spector saw his father as a weak pathetic loser growing up, who got constantly beaten by thugs in the city. Marc trained himself at the Gym to toughen up, because he didn't want to be seen as weak and pathetic as his father. Marc wanted people to be intimidated by him and back off.
Eventually his father caught on that his son was boxing and tried to stop him, Marc reacts by beating the shit out of his dad and then out of spite, signs out a form to join the Marines while his father lays on the floor and abandons him.
(Moving on to kill innocent people and children for fun/money during his mercenary career, gets betrayed by Bushman, dies, and gets reborn vowing to redeem his past actions as a Superhero).
So basically the MCU version of Moon Knight is a water down loose adaptation, of an already water down loose version of Moon Knight in comics.
And hilariously enough The director came out and said the Jeff Lemire version of Moon Knight wasn't their original plan. They actually originally wanted to do the 2011 Bendis version of Moon Knight (the one who thinks he's Spiderman, Captain America, and Wolverine).
Also known as the Black Sheep of Moon Knight comics..... It feels like no one working at Marvel Studios actually cares about Moon Knight, just mental health representation and Egyptian culture diversity.
So you didn't watch the show, But you just came to agree it's trash.
If you can't handle a fantasy, then stay away from it.
I definitely wanted to see bloody spiked knuckles and someone's face beaten to a pulp. Would have settled for at least a character resembling MK from the comics, not a flying mummy with a magic suit.
@@megabear8905 sure did. I'm not one of those "well it doesn't look great but let me give it a chance first" people. If I see the trailers or ads and it looks like trash, then to me, it is trash. Especially if the network or company producing it has a strong history of producing trash.
Started off very strong but became messier as the episodes progressed but I still think moonknight stuck the landing.
Also gotta love research and respect to egyptian culture being shown by making the GODDESS OF MOTHERHOOD AND CHILDERN THE ONE HANDLING THE AFTERLIFE INSTEAD OF OH I DO NOT KNOW ANUBIS WHO RUNS IT IN EGYPTAIN MYTH.

Taweret actually was believed to help the deceased pass to the afterlife as well as help with childbirth (she was the goddess of both childbirth and funerals )and Taweret was also associated with Ammit Given how similar their characteristics were in the myths (also who wouldn't know Anubis is the god of the dead)
I enjoyed it - bit I did find it quite hilarious that Moon Knight gets overpowered by Harrow then blacks out only to wake up the victor....his whole victory fight was cut! I felt a bit ripped off. I don't mind the scarlet scarab thing but feel like they should have revealed the third personality in the actual final battle where he overpowers Harrow (who, how on earth can he fight with glass in his shoes?) It was pretty obvious that there was a third personality and I felt jipped they revealed it in the post credits scene. What was the point of saving that twist for the post credits? Eh. I'll go back to watching buffy now.
They technically showed that the third persona existed in the psyche ward, with the sarcophagos shaking and someone screaming inside it. It's good to see an intelligent comment under a video like...this. "Dramatic middle eastern music plays" of COURSE it does! The character is LITERALLY EGYPTIAN lol

Being an "Egyptian superhero" doesn't mean that Layla has become a superhero who is Egyptian, but rather she became a superhero responsible for the protection of Egypt. She's not a superhero who happens to be an Egyptian, she's an Egyptian superhero in the same way Sunfire is a Japanese superhero, Shamrock is an Irish superhero, Peregrine is a French superhero and Outlaw is a British anti-hero. If she works on an international scale (say she protects London), then you could say this line was pure corny wokeness, until then it seems misinterpreted by way too many people (either that or I perceive it differently).

even if they dont have super powers will end up saving so called 'heroes.'

How?
Iron Man solved the time travel problem and Hulk (Bruce Banner) helped him.
Vision was the main guy to destroy Ultron.
Loki was almost as strong as She-Loki, only had different power sets.
Iron Man was the main guy to kill Thanos.
Wanda getting immense power because of Dark Hold book, is your only excuse for "M-She-U" I guess.
@@Qaosbringer
That was marvel phase 1 where the male characters were actually competent, and no the mshe-u is not a excuse it's a fact.
I'll list why the mshe-u is real in a list of 6
1. Modern mcu sidelines male protagonists in their own show, and has a stronger, smarter badass female characters who overshadow the men as they bumble around & do nothing of any value whatsoever.
2. The male characters are all portrayed as idiots, useless or evil
Captain marvel is a great example.
3. Male villains and characters get gender swapped to being female like Marvelle, taskmaster, ghost and
Scarlet scarab
4. The female characters get no development or go through any struggles or adversity and can do anything just to prove men are stupid.
5. female villains like Wanda maximoff and Milena from black widow, echo, ghost are made to be like they aren't villains & shouldn't be punished for their evil deeds because they Aren't men.
6. Bait and switch where they have the Male characters get replaced with Stronk female characters like female thor, sylvie and Kate bishop who struggled & went through
absolutely no adversity whatsoever
they earned nothing.
@@Qaosbringer
It's true only a Mcu shill doesn't want to see this fact, you must not have been paying any attention.
I think there were a few "when will they get to the fireworks factory?" viewers, that were just hanging out for the action, and if you were you'd be dissapointed. The Moon Knight series more delved into Marc Spector's Disassociate Identity Disorder, rather than him kicking ass episode after episode. This is par for the course for the Marvel Disney+ series. WandaVision and Hawkeye were both studies on grief and loss; Falcon and the Winter Soldier was a not so subtle examination on racism both past and present. You "could" overly focus on Layla's role, and there's no doubt some gender politics there if you go looking for it, but I believe that's the wrong take-away from what I thought was a very good series.

@@darrellpowell6042 If you can’t handle criticism of incompetent storytelling, then quit copying and pasting the same childish non-counterargument.
Absolutely agree!
@@freebretth fool keeps posting this stupid comment everywhere
Well the fantasy has a source material so if you can't properly adapt a source material then stay away from it
I feel like this show was falsely labelled in terms of its genre, they could’ve made it a psychological horror, but Marvel wanted it to be another action-adventure project.
This show needed to be a mix of Punisher, Daredevil and Jessica Jones, especially in terms of its tonality, some of the MCU “family-friendliness” took away from some moments that could’ve been really dark.
Tbf, it was one of the better Disney+ shows, but it’s still got a lot of catching up to do with its Marvel TV show predecessors.
Hopefully, having the ‘Daredevil’ and ‘Punisher’ writers/showrunners back for ‘Echo’ will ground the MCU more and bring in its darker ‘TV-MA’ tonality.
I am still surprised that people get hyped and have high hopes with Marvel, Disney and Hollywood in general. "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me."
“If you fool me you can’t get fooled again”
yeah, that has always been a big negative shocking and disgusteal deal for me. Its tought o be patient with many of these Naive young fans and even older fans who give money to Disney , only to be disheartened and discouraged...as TESTIFIED BY THEIR OWN WORDS.... later! Suckers.

Adult children. Our country is populated by them.
@@thekerr8728 this is an excellent, accurate statement "the kerr". this is why I don't enjoy going to conventions. ITS OKAY to be around "adult children" that want to have fun, like "toys-r-rus " kids. But not when it comes to lack of discernment, shallowness and proud stupidity. I hate being around fools and stupidity.
The "crazy" stuff was always a shit take. The original Moon Knight was not a loon. He acted as 4 different people to gain an advantage in his war in crime. Thats a far more interesting, nuanced take then just "crazy." And I won't say I had high hopes for this show, but I didnt think it would suck. Because there's nothing in the Moon Knight mythos that they could use to WOKE the character. Boy was I wrong. It's like the producers just saw "Egypt" on Moon Knights Wikipedia page and wrote the entire show around that. It's like the entire show was just a launching pad for their new female Egyptian superhero that they obviously care about way more than the audience does.
Are we talking about the moon knight that punched werewolves here? I mean if you wanna compare him to modern day comics he’s pretty fucking normal in this show compared to the comics. I also don’t personally agree having 4 disguises is more interesting than his mind shattering into these disguises, and having the character try and fight crime whilst trying to heal the best he can.
What’s wrong about expanding the Egyptian mythos of his powers? You don’t seem to really specify apart from Layla becoming an Egyptian superhero, which is weird cause my complaint is it was crammed in to the finale and forgotten about. But you’re saying they spent more time with her than Marc and Steven?? Did we forget episode 5 had the two of them having all the screen time??
The "original Moon Knight" had more than just one comic run. They adapted the run where he has DID
@@rroselandd i am aware, but i am confused what you are referring to by the "original", and why its more interesting than the current run.

Hello Gary...
I got to tell you that normally I agree 100% with your takes on the M-SHE-U...
But this show, for me at least was fairly reasonable... First off I dont know who Moonknight is... Never heared of the character before... So I found the show to be nice... Also I did not feel that Layla was a "Strong independant womhan" like captain marvel for example... Yeah she saved moon knight a couple of times... but so did he... so to me it sort of balanced out... and the romance/chemistry between them was really good...
So to me all in all was a decent show...
Exactly. He fails to mention that the saving isn’t exclusively Layla saving Marc and Steven in order to make it seem like his point is right when it really isn’t
It is only good for people like you who have no idea of how great the comic Moon Knight is.
@@GustEdgeOfficial its funny how you hate watch things you disagree with and share your dumb hot takes.

Ayo don't start a whole debate in the replies guys. I had people get into a whole political debate over me preferring a different shade of blue on the French flag in one video I watched. My comment was just criticism of a (in my opinion) mediocre TV show. Everyone can have their own opinions about it. Just be civil and courteous.
@@cheesycheddah9211 You're asking for far too much my guy. They aren't here to debate. That would require being even slightly open to the other side's point of view.
Moon Knight was great. I really enjoyed the entire show. I hope now that all 3 personalities have been revealed that we get more Moon Knight fights in season 2. Layla was great. She was pretty badass without powers and didn't overshadow MK in his own show. I don't really understand the hate here.
Yeah, me neither. I loved the show and I think it was pretty awesome!
I do agree with Gary that the lack of Moon Knight in the actual costume was an issue, but the character development of Steven and Marc and the *incredible* acting by Oscar Isaac more than made up for it and made the fight scenes we *did* get in the costume that much more impactful. Everything else though is him grasping at straws, like making it seem like Layla overshadowed Marc and was better than him when in reality they fought equally and side by side and saved each other’s asses on multiple occasions, and intentionally misconstruing things and leaving out important plot points (like Layla not randomly finding Marc in London in Episode 2, in the actual episode she said how she tracked his phone, which Gary conveniently didn’t mention, to the Avatar of Osiris being in league with Harrow the whole time and that being the reason the Ennead let him go free instead of them just being ignorant, which again Gary conveniently didn’t mention) to push his agenda. Hopefully now that it’s implied Jake will be Moon Knight going forward in any future appearances, we get more of the gritty badass Moon Knight from the comics and even more cool fight scenes. Sorry for the long rant, it just pisses me off when reviewers make a show, its plot and its characters sound worse than they actually are just to push their agenda, something he is so apparently against
This guy is just really misogynistic. Cannot handle a female character that isn’t either a 2 dimensional “femme-fatal” sex object or a weak, hollow-headed damsel in distress.

And it’s especially obvious it’s forced when they just gender swap a character for no reason.
If it’s modern day Disney, I would say that it does.
Some 'critics' seems to think that just having a woman or minority in your show automatically makes it 'woke shit'. They also eat Tidepods for breakfast
Imagine thinking this was a bait and switch.
Moon Knight is still Moon Knight. He doesn't lose his powers to Layla. Layla thought Marc/Steven was dead. Marc convinced Taweret to send a message to Layla, and the goddess offers Layla the role of her avatar.
This is not a bait and switch. A real bait and switch would be for Marc/Steven to lose his powers and Layla to become the new Moon Knight. It doesn't happen though.
Dude….You either skipped the beginning or didn’t watch the video at all. He was talking about the bait and switch with scarlet scarab, who is a Man in the comics
@@eddyoneal612 nope first the character is basically a whole different thing from what the comics was same little concept and idea but it's not even close and when he talks about bait and switch he's clearly talking about what the other MCU shows was doing which was introducing female characters that would outshine the other male cast which is true for the most part but here hell nah moon knight and Marc as a whole completely outshines anything in this show and little moments from Layla is just hella nitpicking like you gotta be serious though the show has hella problems it's still decent not as a moon knight tv show but as a superhero show its decent especially compared to the other Disney + shows
@@eddyoneal612 the scarlet scarab is multiple characters in the comics. it's the mantle/title of the El Faoul family. Abdullah El Faoul is Layla's father and he's the one based on the scarlet scarab Abdul Faoul you're thinking of. Abdul inherits the mantle from his father Mehmet and if he didn't die in the comics would have passed it down to his child. In this mcu continuity Abdullah did have a child Layla and she takes on the scarab title, that's why her father used to call her his little scarab and the goddess tawaret tells her how delighted her father will be to hear that she's becoming an avatar. Her father had the red scarf, the scarlet scarab colors but she wears white so maybe she'll be the white scarab or something either way she's not gender swapped she's just next in line for the mantle.
It's very weird that you guys are acting upset about a character you clearly knew absolutely nothing about.
@@eddyoneal612 why do people complain about the gender why can’t that character be a girl why does it matter the gender

You can't have heroes if there is no right vs wrong; no good vs evil. If there is just moral relativism you get Disney MCU.
Honestly dude what's up with you are you afraid of women or something it's just women in the MCU did you expect the avengers to be a sausage fest or something for the rest of its run like I don't understand you just don't want any female characters like at all I don't understand it at all
I actually really liked it, but I understand the criticisms but I think some of complaints are a bit overstated
I suffered to the end of Wanda, and episode 1.5 was as far as I could stand to go with Loki. Blue Falcon and the Ice princess got zero watches from me, Same with that Hawkeye retirement series. Nope. Didn't even bother with this hot mess. I'll keep rewatching Venture Bros.
GO TEAM VENTURE!
I did not watch wandavision at all. I highly dislike both wanda and vision as characters personally, and with how disney is suping up the females while depowering the male heroes it is getting old.
I never watched Wandavision because it looked too weird like it had some alternate realities thing going on and dreams and I’m not a fan of them. Also never cared about Scarlet Witch growing up.
Wandavision had an interesting start but ended badly, falcon and the winter soldier was boring, Loki again was boring aswell as Hawkeye. Jeremy renner didn’t even look like he wanted to be there.
Jesus Christ. One of your first main talking points is that she is “riding around and randomly finds him”. Literally, IN THE SAME SCENE, Steven says “How did you find me” and she says “I tracked your phone”. Did you even watch the show?
Anything to bash females unfortunately

Jesus Christ this entire video is a massive L take. But at the end of the day, it’s just your opinion man.
Wtf are these comments 💀 Like what am i actually reading 😭😭
Show was good, really enjoyed it. Not sure what you guys are crying about, but it was fun as hell and enjoyable for someone who has been a long time fan of the comics. Don't get me wrong, I'm tired of the forced M-She-U shit too and see this phase as a real decline over all, the Bob Iger mandates and souless projects like Captain Marvel, Shang Chi and Eternals have really robbed the brand of any legitimate momentum and will most likely spell an uphill battle for any future MCU efforts. But holy shit, Layla has such a small role in the final battle that for you guys to be crying about it just validates everything the SJWs say about those who dare to complain. You're probably the same butthurt troglodites who didn't like Falcon and the Winter Soldier because it dealt with issues of race which it took directly from the comics themselves. Did you guys even watch the episode or did you all just come here to chirp for daddy Nerdrotic? Marc is still the Moon Knight (via Jake Lockley) and we've no confirmation that Layla even still has her powers. I get it, we know what they're doing, we know their agenda and we know things will get worse before they get better (if they get better), but throwing a temper tantrum at every little turn just makes you all sound so pathetic. At least Clownfish TV plays it down the middle for the fans, but you, Nerdrotic, are barely any better than the Quartering as you've both evolved from legitmately passionate fans to alt-right shills mining outrage for views akin to Tucker Carlson on fox news.

It seems like you're just trying to get free likes and views from the marvel haters and that's all you've ever done Moon night was about Moon night you followed his story for like the whole show in the Batman Batman gets saved by Catwoman it's believable that the superhero can't take on everything by himself and someone comes to save them that's why he has allies you know like Robin by the way there have been female robins
