Enlightening and sad episode. By the end of it you just wanted to give Marc a hug because of the trauma he suffered as a child. Give Oscar Isaac all the awards for his multilayered performance.
Agreed! 🙏🏽💪
This comment is everywhere bruv
give Oscar Issac an Oscar 🤣
Bro just copy and pasting this comment 😂
Amen.
It’s the way Marvel foreshadowed this in Episode 1 when that little girl in the museum said: “did it suck for you? Getting rejected from the field of reeds?” 😩😩 LIKE THE PAINNN
Also, does anyone notice how Marc curated Steven around his little brother? Like the aspects of their relationship? Their love for Tomb Buster, the one-finned goldfish, the older and younger sibling dynamic Steven and Marc have throughout the series. Also, not to mention laters gators, one of the good things he remembers about his mom.
It’s all just brilliant!
What's dope is, through out the entire season, from episodes 1 to 4, everyone is clamoring for Marc to appear to protect people, whether it's Layla or Steven from physical harm. But then you realize that Marc created Steven to protect his innocence, his image of what a family is supposed to be. And in the end, when Steven finally realizes what his purpose was, he confronts then comforts Marc, telling him that everything is gonna be okay. Damn terrific acting.
DID is usually the result of sexual or physical abuse during childhood also emotional abuse/neglect as comments have said below (thanks!). In DID, each alter is a vessel/container of the trauma experienced by the child. Basically, an alter was created because the child could not handle the severe sustained trauma that he/she is experiencing at the moment so he/she created an alter to basically take over the mind and body. DID usually happens in childhood because that is the time when we are sort of piecing together different traits/characteristics that we’ll develop as we grow up into one whole personality/identitiy, but in DID this process gets disrupted and shatters into pieces, hence, the creation of alter/s.In order for the mind to survive from the trauma each alter may lock up the memories of trauma, and it’s up to the primary alter/host (Marc) to access that whenever he/she is ready. Steven is seen as the protector of the system so like Marc said he is there to essentially be a "stressball".I like how Moon knight represents them as needing one another because without they would essentially be unable to cope and if need be there will be more alters in the system as hinted at in the episodes. Also in the first ep the girl told Steven whether he was mad that the afterlife rejected him, the foreshadowing 😭😭
slight correction/addition...It can also occur from severe emotional abuse and neglect. Any type of abuse can cause the disorder.
Fascinating how the brain is able to come up with this
@@jacobimacbroom and it does it all subconsciously! With the power of dissociation... lmao.
But yeah, it IS kinda interesting what the brain can do to cope with severe trauma.
the child also needs to expiriernce disosiasion to develope did im not sure if this is right
When I say this episode broke me. I felt so seen watching this episode. As a victim of parental abuse I was in tears when I connected the dots and realized that Marc was abused as a kid. Then Oscar Isaac's acting in this episode was just phenomenal. I really can't wait for next week's series finale and see how everything wraps itself up.
It feels like Marc almost treats Steven like a little brother (maybe subconsciously he wants) that he wants to protect from getting hurt and get crushed by the weight of the world.
I'm also thinking that Jake is in the first scene with Harrow with the broken nose because the accent and mannerisms are so different from Marc and Steven. Along with the fact that we are aware that Jake is willing to do anything to protect everyone from harm and the person talking to Harrow at the beginning is willing to injury themselves or Harrow despite the consequences.
I think it is Jake in the beginning too due to the nose injury and also the accent is different. Plus, he is way more violent then Marc or Steven clearly which shows in the beginning.
@@rachels1239 same.
Steven is probably an introject of BOTH his brother, and Steven grant (movie character)
Oh and probably an introject of Marcs perfect/dream life
I was thinking that about Jake as well because he seems to have a New York accent and they only showed him with that band-aid on his nose once.
The person Harrow is talking to at the beginning of the episode is Jake. He has a New York accent.
As someone from Boston, I don't know about that. Closer to NYC/Brooklyn accent to me.
Also it's the only time the character has a bandaged nose and blackeyes
In the last episode, Marc talks this way too, Jake is speaking spanish
He is calling to no one, in this scene we finally see how looks the screen of Marc's phone and its in the homepage, Steven use to take the phone and pretend he was calling to his mother
No wonder harrow told layla that if marc told the truth that she'll see him as he sees himself as unworthy of love. It was ingrained into him since childhood.
I love how they portrayed Marc and Steven’s backstory it made me feel bad for both of them and I just really cried during the entire episode so yeah amazing reaction and have a great day love ya 🥰, also love the outfit in this video the hoodie really suits you a lot !🥰
Welcome to series when Egyptians wrote and direct and put the music for it ,acting ( Layla and others ) and presenting their culture from their heart 🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬, thanks to Oscar Isaac for his amazing performance and for understanding the importance of the deep emotions in Egyptian culture
This episode is one of the most confusing and emotional at the same time, like Marvel is really gave us the therapy that we need. And as always, Oscar Isaac's performance is killing it, like he really need a awards for this.
I’m pretty sure that was Jake (the third personality) in the first scene with Harrow, the one that gets sedated. I don’t even know how I didn’t realize how different Oscar Isaac acted from both Marc and Steven. He has like a Brooklyn accent and his eyes and facial/body expressions are very different. He’s also more violent than both of the others as he was gonna stab himself in the eye.
I think that Jake is the one who would come in and protect Marc and Steven from the beatings their mom did to them, which would explain why Steven doesn’t remember their mom being abusive. And it would explain why he’s the most violent one
Can’t believe there’s only one episode left 😭😭
And it’s going to be the shortest episode too??? Like????😩
@@MonicaCatapusan Yes but good news was Marvel changed it from series finale to season finale, so maybe a season 2 is happening.
geez, ep 4 hit different knowing that Layla uttered the same words that his mother did blaming him for a death that he had no control over. how did that not trigger him? he just sat there and took it without having time to process it because he was killed
12:07 Marc's first transformation as Moon Knight 🌙 was _EPIC_ 🤯!!
everytime things went south so bad, the overwhelming pain summoned Steven into body so that feeling could stop. at the memory of their mother's shiva, Steven knew his purpose that was to comfort Marc all along. when Steven fell onto Duat and balanced scale after they accepted each other, the moment Marc needed to let go Steven to be peace in afterlife.
the episode is so heartbreaking and i want my Steven back.
Bro this episode left me in tears. I love Steven with my whole heart and this episode got me mourning and crying myself to sleep
This episode was sad but I was always curious to the timing of Mark developing DID and this was so well done with the different memories which were relived in this episode for us to make it seem like it all just happened for us to experience it 😭 Like I don't think it would've played with my emotions as much if I just imagined it myself once we found out the backstory in words 😭🥺
16:45
Stevie with a V will be missed 😭
If Steven doesn't come back I'm crying myself to sleep everyday LOL-
You’ll get over it by today dw
@@jaimeruiz7837 hello me 21 hours ago still not over it LOL (soryr if that seemed rude, uh oh-)
@@JAGONTI It didnt seem rude, but that just shows you might be overly sensitive dude. When life comes and starts taking things away... good luck
I like how in this episode it really showed how marc is able to accept his fear and finally take a good look of his life. Steven being gone isn't because of an unfortunate death when he fell over, it is Marc finally letting go of the facade since the entire episode was about how the two have finally merged together. Steven's death shouldn't be a sad one since this is Marc finally being freed from Chaos
I believe the treatment for DID is to reintegrate all the alters back into the original. Steven represented an escape from marc's trauma that he failed to confront and deal with. Though I don't believe that steven is truly gone since the multiple personalities are such a defining characteristic of marc spector/moon knight. It would be like if matt murdock were able to see.
Steven will come back, he will! He can't be parted from Marc, that's not how it works. His alters can disappear momentarily but they always come back, they're always with him. Even if Marc has come to term with some of his past, Steven's reason to exists isn't gone. Steven is still a person.
I think - I hope - that they're doing like in the comics where Marc had to face the final step alone. But he reunited with his alters later. I really hope that's what's happening.
Some people said that once Marc joins back with his body his alters will be there since they're part of him. And I really hope that's what's going to happen.
They can't just en the series without Steven. They just can't.
Your reactions always bring me joy
I love your personality. Kinda wishing i had a sister or a friend like you Monica. Thank you for your videos❤🥺
This is so sweet, thank you🥰
So, this episode was an ordeal… to say the least. Hardest MK episode to watch in my opinion. But, it’s good to finally get to know and understand Marc Spector. I now understand why in the press interviews the show is about trauma and healing.
Marc couldn’t tell Layla the truth out of fear (whether he was aware of it or not) because of what his mother did it to him. Mothers are our first introduction to love. So Marc’s mother is why Marc, as Harrow said in episode 3, doesn’t think he’s worthy of love. I also feel like his hesitation towards telling the truth is something he learned from his father, who made excuses for Marc’s mother. I don’t know what his parents’ relationship was like, but he failed him to.
In addition to the emotional/physical trauma aspect of why Steven exists, I think he might also partially be a manifestation of Marc’s guilt. Kinda got that feeling when Steve reassures Marc that what happened wasn’t his fault. Because of that Marc started to let that guilt go a little/forgive himself, and because he did, I feel like we were gonna lose steven after that occurred. And because Marc let go of his guilt literally and figuratively, the scales balanced.
Idk if that made any sense.
Damn... this series is-- It has been branded as my #1 mcu series. Apologies to Hawkeye.
Oh 100% this isn’t even a debate
17:20 everyone has the same reaction, even though moments ago we were shown that Steven was created by Mark. I think as long as there is a Mark there will always be a Steven
Idk if anyone catched it but in the beginning when "Marc" is with Dr. Harrow and his face is all beat up, that's actually Jake. His face looks different, even his accent, as well as the fact that Jake was way more violent compared to Marc and Steven
This episode really hits you in the feelings. Emmy award performance by Oscar Isaac.. The way he doesn't have to tell us how he feels he simply shows us is so powerful and the transitions from Marc to Steven are just sublime. It's like we can feel what Marc and Steven are feeling through the way he acts.
12:47 Listening to you explain the psychological terms is both satisfying and fascinating! Just simply awesome! 🙏🏽💪
I’m just happy I get to use what I learnt from my degree for something😂 But I am in no way an expert!
the fact that in this episode, we get to see Marc's real trauma.. which is his mom.
A theory I've seen float around, is that at the start when Marc has the broken nose, that's actually Jake-- because Marc never has a broken nose for the rest of the episode.
“I want Steven back RIGHT NOW!” Yes, that was my reaction after this episode.
I think Marc left one candle lit on purpose for his brother. It's a small detail but it says a lot.
Steven never noticed that no one was answering the phone for the same reason he never realized that he had lived in America, or was in the Marines--the amnesia barriers in his mind fabricated right over it so that he would be able to live the "happy" life.
From what I've read about DID and seen people theorizing is that Steven fronted when Marc couldn't handle the stress or emotional pull of everything (hence being the stress ball), but Jake was the one who took the physical abuse (which would explain why Steven doesn't remember what happens in the bedroom and would also explain Marc's blackouts when he was in the military).
It seems that for Marc, he was able to live a lot of his life post-Khonshu in the body because when he was with Layla, he was happy and with Khonshu, he's essentially immortal. But, with the trauma of his mom dying, it severed the barrier between himself and Steven, making the blocks between them thinner and thinner until Steven was fronting more often than not. Plus, with Marc realizing that Khonshu wanted Layla (or so he thought) he needed to "disappear", and therefore let Steven take the reins until Khonshu summoned him.
I just realized after watching just about every reaction video on UA-cam, as well as watching the episode itself three times, that we have three scenes with Dr. Harrow; In the first scene with Harrow at the beginning of the episode (New York accent, broken nose, attempting suicide) Marc is actually Jake Lockley, in the second scene he is Marc, and in the third scene he is Steven. The Jake personality is not acknowledged though and everybody, including Harrow, is assuming it’s Marc. The scene with Jake is also happening simultaneously while the other two are meeting Taweret in the Duat, while the other two scenes happen after one of the other two personalities has a breakdown, and nothing happens in the Duat while Dr. Harrow helps them process their emoptions.
I dont think Layla will be harmed. I believe the villain wants her as Ammite's avatar. Also I love these endings, cause they always leave us wanting more
4:26 this scene shows that j think Jake Lockley taken over Marc's body.. he became aggressive and the accent or the way he talks is not Marc or Steven's accent
The translation of the song at the end... "Past the sun, I have a place (lugar) a home (hogar) a way (llegar) passed the sun. I have a place, a home, a way passed the sun, passed the sun...
It occurs to me regarding the episode title that although "Asylum" can be the mental institution Marc and Steven inhabit, the word can also mean a place of refuge, which is what Steven represents for Marc.
Fun fact when Marc went psycho out of nowhere at the beginning of the episode that wasn’t Marc or Steven, that was Jake, and you can tell it’s Jake when his accent gets stronger
16:56 The tearjerker section of TV Tropes says that, it's like he's lost his little brother, Randall, all over again, as well as a part of himself 🥺😣😔. Holding out hope that Steven comes back 🙏🤞.
Jake the 3rd alter was talking to Arthur Harrow in the beginning and he has a new york accent just listen how he says doctor.
When my sister and I saw Steven fell off the boat, we both yelled "Bingbong! NOOO!!!"
It was upsetting, and while I think they may have intergrated, because Steven might not be needed for Marc anymore, but I could see one almost pre credit scene of Temeret being confused that the psych ward is still there, so she wanders a bit and she lets Jake out who saves Steven (and is a miserable sob about it too).
And, that is how you set up a finale. Leave everyone hanging!!!
I kinda had that hunch since the beginning I speculated that maybe Stephen was a representation of Marc’s innocence that he wanted to preserve
She clearly loved Randall more
What if Marc was the one that died that day and Randall lived would she have treated Randall the same way
This episode clearly implies that Randall was always her favorite
This actually explains so much why he’s so protective of Layla and why he kept pushing her away
The guilt he carried over losing his brother he projected onto other people he cared about
Oh and I knew that the mom he referred to was Marc’s mom and not Layla or Marc faking
This episode got me thinking
It’s probably unlikely but what if Wendy is tawaret or her avatar in the underworld
Because of the comparison and transitions and parallels they kept showing between Wendy and tawaret
What if being in the underworld she learned the error of her ways and slowly turned into tawaret animorphs style and she is helping marc out of guilt and as a way to make amends
Probably a stretch but interesting to think about
Will Marc stay dead will tawaret give Layla the message will Layla continue on in future mcu projects as Marc’s successor
Oscar Isaac only signed on this one show
That would be a cool way to continue the legacy of moon knight as a way to keep the character around
With phase 4 being so female focused I can see that happening and making a lot of sense
DID isn’t seperate hearts it’s different aspects of the same soul
Stephen is MARC’s innocence manifested as a person but it’s still MARC’s
The using of the hearts was metaphorical for their intentions
Honestly, I want Moon Knight to stay male. The girls have enough heavy hitters. Let's give the men some powerhouses to get behind.
mild correction: steven with a v*
I feel like your interpretations of everything in this episode are spot on
Oscar Isaac’s performance is SO good. I don’t want Steven to be gone either.
This was so sad also ur vids are amazing!!
Marvel putting that degree to work
My time to shine😂
That's Jake with the broken nose talking to Harrell Monica....and he's been around all series just in subtle ways
I figured you'd appreciate this episode the most. Uh, well maybe not the Steven part lol I think the beaten up version of Marc was the Jake alter-ego, a persona that could take punishment and deal out the worst of it. Notice he had the New York accent and attitude and different facial expressions. But he also looked like he was trying to hurt himself (or others) with the pyramid from the desk. Great Episode!!
Jake was there, they have been presenting us Jake in a very subtle way. Jake was the one with the bandaid on his nose, because he punched himself when he was with Layla in the Pyramids. If you watch carefully you will see how different he acts compare to Marc or Steven.
"...hogar, dulce hogar, más allá del sol". They nailed it...
I want to point out that Steven not getting into the field of reeds was foreshadowed in episode 1 when that little girl in the museum told Steven if it sucked being rejected from the field of reeds. Honestly the way Marvel plans these things way ahead is just amazing.
Not sure if anyone noticed but Marc with the bandaid on his nose, had a decidedly New York accent. He only speaks briefly so you really have to pay attention, but pretty sure THAT was Jake.
14:55 This is why Harrow said Marc was in agony, because of the guilt he felt about the deaths of his little brother, and his mother, as well as the deaths of Layla's father, Abdullah El-Faouly, and the other archeologists who died that fateful night 🥺😣😔.
Hippopotamus God lady reading cue cards is a Easter egg of sorts. Not only no one has to be judged that way for more than millennia but it wasn't her job, but Toth's and Anubis's, with Ammit eating damned souls under the table.
Let's go! Kane Chronicler!
This is my favourite Episode of this series and the ending made me Scream No in denial, because I refused to belive he just died
What a superb imagining of the Egyptian Duat, where all the sins, failings & regrets of your life would be held against you. And yet another masterful, emotional performance from Oscar Isaac! Since Marc’s soul seems to have finally arrived at the Field of Reeds at the end, I guess we have to assume that his Ba (character) will be rescued somehow in the final episode. I now wonder if the ancient Egyptian notion of the soul (split into at least five aspects) is a actually meant to be a mirror somehow of the personalities of Marc Specter?
I just wonder how there gonna wrap everything up now lol, I hope Marc saves steven somehow even after he deafets Harrow, Great episode got so much info on marc and how steven was brought about loved it
Also I can relate a LOT to your reaction pls… I cried so bad 🥲
btw amazing episode AS always, cant wait for the ep 6 to drop ARGH I literally cant wait no more 😭😭
I’m scared but also excited
@@MonicaCatapusan relatable
Well that was so much fun 🥲
this was such a heavy and important episode. while i don’t have DID, i definitely related to marc’s traumatic experiences as a child. experiences like these, can affect who we become as adults. i really feel for marc and steven 🥺 my heart hurts for them but i hope they both find healing and peace 🧡
Marc absolved himself of the guilt he felt over his brothers death when Steven told him, "it not your fault”! Steven then protects Marc one last time before he goes overboard. Steven merges with Marc as Steven is a part of Marc!
NEW MOONKNIGHT EPISODE LESSS GOO oh
I noticed a Cab driving around when Marc and Steven were on the street during the mother's funeral. Jake is a Cab driver in the comics.
Just give Oscar Isaac the damn Emmy.... RIGHT NOW! This man is a Phenomenal Actor.🏆🏆🏆
This episode broke my heart! 😭💔
0:13 I love that giggle you do
RIP Steven Grant of the gift shop
His little brother name is Randall Spector Marc's younger brother, in the comics Randall becomes serial killer hatchet man killing nurses and Randall comes back from the dead named Shadow Knight and like Marc Randall is also a solider amd and mercenary, Marc's mother died giving birth to his younger brother Randall
The promos show Moon Knight and Harrow leaping at each other. This must be in the final episode, so Marc must return. Perhaps the question is: What resurrection power does Konshu have? If he can pull Marc from the Field of Reeds, then why would he not be able to pull Steven from the Duat? It may be a necessity for the resurrection of Marc's body. We can only hope, for now.
Steven was made to protect marc and thats how Steven died he died protecting marc
5:23
"The honor!"
Dude for the Egyptians this happened to everybuddy.
Steven being left behind is a sad but it’s a sign of growth for Marc sometimes ya gotta loose part of yourself to change
And for reals props to Marc’s dad just trying to keep the peace good dads are best dads
It’s inside out all over again
When I watched this episode the first time, I couldn't stop crying for 30 minutes afterwards. Just, every time I would try to talk aloud my thoughts would spawn new tears lol.
Everybody in the production of this series did a very great job of building up to this and making you care about Marc and Steven (maybe a little too much lol). If Oscar Isaac doesn't get an Emmy nom from this, it'll be a severely missed opportunity.
Bast/Bastet is absolutely Khonshu’s sister. So is Sekhmet who we better know as Hawthor….. 😳
I love the Kane Chronicles!!!🤧❤️
how can the scales be balanced if marc looks completely broken? how is this gonna going to create more trauma that he won't be able to deal with.
taweret with her little manicured blue nails lol.
So many emotions 😭
💔
"I'm not gonna let that distract me from the fact that... wHeRe tHe hElL iS SteVeN??!" 😤
Same, ma'am, same. 🤣🤣😂
Oscar Isaac is a Latino man playing both a Jewish man from New York that is a deeply traumatized, and a British man who is blissfully ignorant. He crushed both sides of the role, and deserves awards haha
Aha! You’re reading Kane Chronicles with this too! I think I love you XD
I accept your love😂🫶🏼
Marvel Studios knows how to give us their iconic intro in doses so that we actually miss the hell out of it when it isn't in an episode
Marc did not need Steven any more, because he confronted his pain togather with him and accepted it. Steven going overboard is a metaphore for Marc reuniting into one person/personality. He does no longer need a seperate Steven, he is Steven and Marc in one.Since Steven is only a part of Marc Spector and since Marc is in the field of reeds, Steven cannot be dead, they are only one person after all. .... I had an evil idea, what if Laila frees Conshu and he takes her as his avatar and Marc stays in the fields of Reed....
I really like Oscar Isaac’s performance.
He’s such a talented actor
why do people only give oscaar isaac props, even ethan hawke is smashing it
he is so calm yet soooooo terrifying
OH, STEVEN...💔💔😭😭
Um some people didn’t notice that was jake because he has an accent and wouldn’t try to stab people and Marc has his nose normal 4:01
Losing Steven felt worse than losing Mobius in Loki 🥹
That doesn’t even begin to describe the devastation.
Yeah, start with the alternative, make you love the character and rip him away like this!? I think he’s not gone because he heart didn’t disappear off the scales, not that I know how any of this works
i think he's steven at the start of the show because of the pain from his attempt to divorce Layla. Steven arises when Marc can't cope with pain
Steven dying was sad but in the end its the best thing for marc who is the original and thus its his life. That's why the scales balenced because he could be judged as the one man he is. Isn't the whole point of therapy to conquer what creates your insanity.
If you like this show you should really checkout peacemaker. It tackles simalar topics like mental health.
Steven was a coping mechanism, scales couldnt balance until he was gone (which means Marc finally processed his trauma).
