- My goodness this episode of Moon Knight absolutely shook me to my core. I am so thankful the MCU is using their popularity to showcase REAL stories of trauma and how it isn't pretty. No glamorization. Just trauma in all its ugly and complex glory. Oscar Isaac is always amazing but he deserves everything after this episode. So thankful To Mohamed Diab and Kevin Feige as well. Thank you for this story of a man dealing with extreme trauma but he still tries his best to save others and be a superhero. Thank you

I like how most of these marvel Disney+ shows focus on the character, their struggles, internal conflicts and growth rather than just giving us a spectacle.
It's because this long format gives them the time and opportunity to do so over a full six or more hours instead of an introductory movie and the 2 expected sequels--often each separated by a year or more.
The body language on that CGI hippo is fantastic, right down to the periodic ear twitches.
Yeah, for a MUCH LIGHTER SERIES OF CONTENT, go check out the life of Fiona the hippo at the Cincinnati zoo! She has those delightful ear twitches. And is adorable.
Has Oscar won any Oscars for his performances/past film-credits? Any other awards? Because his work in this episode was master class.
he won a best performance by an actor, I think it was in 2016..
@@mustafamusa798 Golden Globes for something. Of course he has awards but no Oscar or Emmy nominations and honestly I don't think he deserved any so far. It's not only about how great the actor is, it's also about the role.
@@Bayard1503 yes I meant the golden globes
Another great reaction. This episode broke my heart as well. I knew this one would affect you strongly; your commentary was inspirational as well as insightful. I look forward to watching your next reaction.
I've been a fan of his since Suckerpunch in 2011.
that moment when marc basically collapses under the weight of all that grief like its a physical burden he cant take another step under is heartbreaking and amazingly acted. Oscar knew exactly what that moment was and how to deliver exactly what its like when pain youve repressed has built up so much pressure you can't hold it inside anymore.
I love rewatching shows with you Imon!
This episode made me want to give Marc and Steven the biggest hug ever. Oscar Isaac continues to impress as each episode comes out.
Love how genuine your reactions are. Marc's backstory is so sad
I haven't been through anything remotely like what Marc has, but as a parent (and, well, a human being) this story just ... makes me cry and want to hug him.
Kudos to the actors, particularly Oscar Isaac, for this amazing performance.
I like how shows like this and Mr. Robot look at mental health and puts into perspective that we are not who are just because. There are things that we go through in our past that shape who we become. I look forward to learning more about your journey Imon
Every reaction I see to episode 5 just emphasises how INSANE Oscar’s acting is
"I'm not even in this place right now." I know what you mean. We're about to go into the final episode, and it was a shock to remember that the show has heroes and villains and a dastardly plot and all that superhero stuff.
I agree that it's powerful that Marvel is going here, but it also matters (a lot) that they're obviously doing research, both on Egypt and on DID. I've seen videos by DID systems talking about this show, and they seem to find it a lot better than most of how this has been depicted in popular entertainment.
And, when you were talking about your diagnosis, I think it's important to this story that Marc has never been diagnosed, he doesn't know how DID works, and even when, in his mind, he sends himself to a therapist he imagines the therapist as Harrow, his worse enemy, because he's that resistant to getting help.
This will probably go down as one of the darkest moments in the MCU. This was a rough watch.
You just never got a whooping lol wasn’t that bad
getting hit by the belt daily is just average third world childhood
@@Otniqtlth there's a difference between getting a whoop and being blamed for the brother (that you loved just like her) death which results in these beatings and there's a difference between a parent that does it because they're concerned and one that sees you as her child's murd****, and I'm from a third world country
@@juska4235 exactly. I'm not sure why they are acting obtuse
Marc's first transformation as Moon Knight 🌙 was *_EPIC_* 🤩😎!
We love a double upload 😆
So many of us cried this episode. It's raw, deep, heavy, and dark. It hit us all on so many different levels. What happened in this episode is real, it happens.
THIS episode is why the character is on a show and not a movie for his debut. We NEEDED this build up and exploration to why Marc has mental illness and trauma. They have done a lot of justice to the comics. It's good to see that Marvel did not turn the mental illness into a gimmick or minimizing it in any way. This was a new direction for the MCU and a eye opener for the audience.
I believe this show will be used in acting classes because of Issac.
I've seen so many people reduced to tears by this episode, myself included. It's maybe a little TOO real, which I think is a crazy achievement when you've got Egyptian gods and magic superheroes flying around.
Then something is wrong with me, because I didn't even drop a tear when I first watched it. At most of the emotional parts of shows I watched I just can't cry.
Oscar Isaac seriously flexed his acting muscles in this. Somebody give that guy some awards.
Many hugs for Imon!
One thing I took from this episode is how deeply losing a son can affect his mom. Not that I was unaware before, it's just different to actually see it. My mom almost lost me to suicide a couple years ago, and it really broke my heart to see that something like this is what she might have gone through If I hadn't been saved. My grandmother lost a child years ago and it still affects her all these years later. One of the things they said to me was about how my grandmother still struggles on her child's birthday, even 30 years later, and the whole family still has to rally around her to get her through that day. And that would have been my mom's future every year on my birthday. One of the only reasons I'm still here is because I promised my grandmother that I would try to be happy, that I would do everything I could to be ok. Even though the world is a shit place full of shit people. But this just reminded me of what my mom could have had to deal with. I don't think me being grown would have made it any easier for her. So for her, for them, I try.
all the hugs to you. i'm glad that you're here, and i'm glad that you're trying.
This episode was so deep. Trauma can run so deep for those of us who have been through certain things. My heart breaks for people who have endured such dark childhoods. Oscar's performancee really tapped into the pain and fear. He's such a great actor.
This episode was really well written and well done. The only downside to it was the fact that there wasn't much of Moon Knight, which many people have pointed out. It is a Super-hero show after all, but I do like the fact that this episode is willing to go far beyond the typical trope of this genre.
Yeah after this episode I can’t decide which show I prefer: wandavision or moon knight? I like psychological stuff yeah… and Oscar too
Was waiting for this one! Lol
Edit: We all value your commentary following heavy episodes like this one, and wish you all the support and an unending amount of precious moments with your family!
the beauty about the marvel comics and comics in general is that there is a VAST library of stories and characters that they've barely even scratched the surface of exploring yet. i dont know about you but i feel very lucky to get to see these characters come to life on the big and small screen . i really love your very genuine and heart felt reactions and really love your channel . keep going you're doing fantastic!
This episode was indeed "a lot". Had a feeling it would affect you after seeing it myself. Brilliant acting of a tragic story.
Man, re-watching this, I can't help but hate that dad for refusing to lift a finger to help his son; I think I might even hate him more than the mother.
I grew up in a situation that was the reverse: my father was an angry drunk who was emotionally abusive to my brother and I (not towards our mother), but our mother would constantly make excuses for him because *his* mother was abusive. But my dad eventually quit drinking, and by the time I was an adult, he was an entirely different person, and apologized on multiple occasions for how he treated us. I literally can't even emotionally connect who he is now with who he was back then, but my mother is still exactly the same. I don't hate her at all, but I can't help but still hear all those excuses in the back of my head whenever I remember my childhood--*she* never acknowledged her part of the equation.
With Marc's parents, I think the reaction is cranked up to 1000% because we never see the father try to reign in the mother's behavior, and we never see the mother threaten the father with violence. The father seems to be a stable and well-adjusted guy who isn't living in fear of his wife--so what was his excuse for allowing this clear-cut abuse?
It's really well-written, because these situations are layered and complex in real life, and the show does a great job of making teenage-Marc's decision to leave (and stay away) feel completely reasonable to the audience.
The chemistry between Oscar Isaac and Oscar Isaac is Amazing.. The Jake with the bandage on his noise looks confused when doc is talking about Stephen, I think that's Jake. Jake is the personality to take the beatings (he's the tough one). Marvel is telling the Dark and Emotional storyies in Marvel, It started with Wandavision which is based off of The House of M Comic.Both The House of M and Moon Knight are actually darker in the comic than what is shown on Disney+. Disney+ has been killing the game on content since they been a thing. We still have 1 more episode to go.. Geesh!
A lot of people have been talking about this, and while it very well may be the case, it is a bit odd that Mark's heart found balance without including Jake.
@@ashenfang Could be because neither Marc nor Stephen are aware of Jake. In Second episode I think Stephen switch with Marc after beating up 3 guys. Stephen faded out and Marc came in and saw them beat up and said, "Stephen did you do this? And Stephen said no I thought you did?" We'll find out Wednesday...lol
I was going to say I honestly forget that Oscar plays both Marc and Steven. They seem like two completely different people yet played by the same actor. That's when you know you're a good actor. Bravo
"It's Steven, with a V"
What an absolutely heartbreaking and am amazing episode as wwll! Oscar delivering such a heartfelt and emotional performance. My God he has been monumental to this show!! I still am crushed with everything that happened and I just want to give you the biggest, tightest hugs!! We need Steven back!! He has to come back!!! I adored your reaction Hun!! 🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️
Whew this was alot!! I also appreciate how you wear your heart on your sleeve so this as you said must have been hard for you
Since youve liked moon knight and Wanda vision, i highly recommend you watch Legion. A good case could be made that Legion paved the way for those two, specially when it comes to exploring on tv how powers would mix with mental issues.
Oh yessssss! I have been looking forward to this moment. I have watched countless reactions to this episode, but none have had the same sense as you for this kind of subject. Your thoughts are very important to me!
PS: At the time of writing this I haven't watched it yet, but I already know I'm going to love it. Thanks, Imon.
Imon - Your very real, very emotional, very heartfelt reaction really touched my heart. Hang in there Sis. It’s gonna be alright.
I cried so much watching this.
Omg your hair is amazing 🤩 this episode was tough.. and unfortunately I can relate in some ways.. my father was very violent and cruel.. luckily for me my mother was amazing at protecting me and my sisters from him.. I myself used music and singing as my escape or acting in plays pretending to be someone else like Steven ❤️❤️❤️
Oooh that was fast! Oof. Loved this episode. So tough, but brilliant. Oscar Isaac is ridiculously good!
Thank you ☘
First the show's story breaks me.
Then seeing Imon so shook breaks me again.
Love you, girl. Hugs.
I love your reaction. So raw and real. Kudos.
Great reaction Imon, it was a tough episode. Great, but tough…hit home for a lot of people I bet including myself.
I really didn't think they were going to go this deep into the culture. Seeing the Field of Reeds was so wild. I'm glad more properties are recognizing that there are more interesting cultural mythologies outside of Norse, Greek and base level Egypt (Anubis all the time)
Get what you're saying Justin, but you should definitely read the comics.. which the series is based off of
This episode was so sad OMG love the video Imon Nation stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
My babies are 7 and 4 so I'm 100% with you. It's what dads do too
I would say that this was a lot, yeah
I don't think the personality being interviewed at the beginning is Marc or Steven. The way he says "you're not a doctor" has a bit of a subtle accent to it, American for sure but not the same kind as Marc's. Couple that with the way he says "I feel like a million dollars" and the fact that he tries hurting himself with the shard which is something that seems out of character for both Steven and Marc, I think that scene might have possibly been a peek at the third personality that's been hinted at multiple times throughout the show.
That's what I was thinking. His mannerisms have a subtle difference compared to Steven or Marc. He sounds a bit like someone from Goodfellas
that hair girl !!!!
you must watch: End of Sentence
Wow, I don’t even know you and I love you😭💗
i'm glad you were warned it was a lot because imo this needed a trigger warning
this episode was a masterpiece.
Not even gonna front. Tears were shed for Marc this episode.
i finished mr. robot a couple of days before this episode aired so it was a heavy week last week. i watched mr. robot because i wasn’t watching any of the shows you were reacting to and i missed y’all.
after seeing this, i realized the title had double meaning. “asylum”, being the place that marc and steven were stuck in, i guess the manifestation of marc’s mental state? and marc seeking “asylum” from the abuse by creating steven. marc created steven so he can have a place of refuge and be protected from pain. very much like how elliot protected the real elliot by keeping him inside the perfect world…
it’s interesting because at first glance we all think marc is the badass and steven is the weak wimpy nerd who can’t even protect himself…which turned out to be the opposite…and then we get the “tomb buster” slogan: when danger is near, steven grant has no fear. it made so much sense.
my brain was spiralling. this was hands down one of the best mcu episodes ever.
i was interested in your particular reaction to this particular episode exactly because you are a mom
Don't forget everybody stay kind
Getting strong Amel Larrieux vibes from you in this vid sis. I dig it.
welcome to phase 4 where everything is pain
Imon thanks SOOOOO much!! I was chomping at the bit waiting for you to see this episode (since it's about my childhood abuse, in a roundabout way). I'm an only child and Marc's Mother is a combination of both of my dead Parents. I thank the Gods that I don't have D.I.D.
My Mother stopped celebrating my birthday after my Father died when I was 18 from stomach cancer, because "birthday parties are for little kids!!".
When my Mom died 26 years ago, I did and didn't do what Marc did. A brick wall went up inside me and I stayed in the lobby of the funeral home, without any feelings inside (they were and still are locked up in Fort Knox deep inside).
How did she die? She got hit by a car.
Wow that’s heartbreaking. Thank you for being real. Life is not just one thing. We truly have no idea what anyone else is suffering on the inside. Hope you’re in a much better place today
@@ImonSnow But that's not an excuse for what Marc's mother did to him just out of grief. That goes for anyone else who has been abused and take it out on others.
@@dwnkaomwn3953 I explicitly said there is no excuse, however we all want to paint this world in black or white and that's just not how this world works. We can only hope that people can get the support they need so they can change and do better. Sadly that never happened for Marc's mom and a lot of our moms. I see it within my own mother and hope one day she will see her faults but I also realize it probably won't ever happen. As of now I personally choose to spend time with her sometimes despite my childhood and adulthood trauma caused by her. And when things get too much for me I get to go to my home that I luckily have now. I didn't choose my mom but she is the only one I have. And because of my own life experiences I can see her sufferings and understand her behavior comes from her own trauma. Doesn't change the trauma I suffer now because of her, but life is too short to be angry forever. It is my job to stop the generational trauma and then my kids to continue that path going forward.
@@ImonSnow And it was for 30 long years, from ages 4 to 34.
Ohhh it's OK, you're so very welcome.
The memories still come flooding back once in a while, but I do something else to avoid them. However my dead Mother's screaming mad abusive voice is always there. I'm 60 years old now and trying to survive on SSI, food stamps, etc.. Medicaid stopped paying the last psychologist I was seeing, about 4ish years ago. Outta the blue. They won't cover it anymore.
@@ImonSnow All due respect Imon, I'm not as sentimental or forgiving as you are, especially when it comes to folks who hurt others like when my dad abused me throughout my childhood too. I don't know what your mother went through, but whatever it was she saw fit to take it out on you and that wasn't fair for you to suffer like that. At the end of the day, she made a choice to hurt her own child and that(again) is intolerable.
I understand that people have suffered in their own way throughout life, but they stopped being victims when they took their pain out on others. That's just me though. If you still hope your mother will see the error of her ways, then I won't deter you from that. I, one the other hand, lost any hope, love, and respect for my dad a long time ago. I won't waste time helping someone you won't help themselves.
You misunderstand Imon. I can see in the grey just fine. I just do so with a more realistic outlook and not motivated by emotion.
Yes, Marc Spector is Jewish, I'm not sure about Oscar Isaac though.
Frankly, personally, all the action stuff after the scene of the wake (sitting Shiva), I was just kind of in a daze. Oh, ok, sand zombies, reeds... ok.
Oscar Isaac was also in the new Dune movie for a little bit
I know!!
This episode has bojack episode 11 kinda vibe
Eps 2 and 3 were losing me, but 4 and 5 have been some of the best Marvel TV yet
agreed, 2 and 3 felt so jarring after how much i liked ep 1
Same
Oscar has the best CoStar to play off. Himself.
Pretty sure folks should know Oscar by now 🤔 .. but if not they will
Hilarious I always thought it was funny my mom used to wake me up with a knife to my throat as long as my sister was safe I was happy
She was in a horrible car accident Psychopathic schizophrenic got kicked out of the state for trying to kill me and my sister way too many times fun facts
Don't forget to stay awesome
Hope you and your sister are better today. I cant imagine. My heart goes out to you both
@@ImonSnow thank you kindly for being nice
(BTW if you are looking for more content that has depth/emotion/drama but maaaaaybe not so soulcrushing: Steven Universe, She-Ra, The Owl House)
Marvel Studio's making dramas and distracting the audience with spectacle.
Never forgive Star Wars for wasting Oscar Isaac.
It's funny, how you just watched Gladiator, which also had a field of reeds in it
I also watched 1917! and it had the same scene! I just realized this right now.
@@ImonSnow It was also in Man of Steel (or Justice league)
@@Sentinel3D have to react to those. Haven’t seen them yet!
It hurts my heart to see adults cry trauma 💔 ain't no joke
🖤#moonkight 🤍#marvel 🖤#mcu 🤍#imonsnow
I'm not gonna lie, I feel this part, like a copy of the origen story of Peacemaker, if you see the serie of Peacemaker you understand why I feel this part (brother part) like a copy, but in the rest is awasome
This one destroyed me too
601.
hope you react to attack on titan season 4 part 2
notice the bird skeleton in the comics khonshu was manipulating mark from a young age basically grooming him to become moon knight because of his D.I.D. and eventually tried to take over his body. Marc was chosen to exact judgement on the guilty he but blames himself for his brothers death. This maybe be why he sees khonshu as a bird skeleton instead of how he is shown in Egyptian mythology with a head full of feathers of couse he also looks like a bird skeleton in the comics so this is just and idea.
Noticed that Marc’s brother colored in that fish Then in the background of when he’s about to get abused by his mother the same fish is on the wall however is not colored in. Young Mark before he develops D.I.D. wear solid colors then later you can see that he has two colors on his shirt but when he’s about to be abused by his mom he has three colors the dark the light in the in between I’m thinking that Mark is the in between Steven is the light and Jake Lockley is the dark Jake lockely in the comics is more prone to violence and he kills because he wants to Marc kills because he has to
How do u feel having split personality?
who said that?stop spreading false
Ancestral plane that’s another connection to wakanda and black panther
The dead dragging you down like in the mummy returns and Imhotep died
Oh shit bushman
I wonder if moon knight will meet the sun king at some point.
I guess in a way Arthur is trying to help Steven away from khonshu I mean khonshu isn’t a good guy in the comics either actually manipulates Marc and tries to take over his body
So now are they establishing boundaries between themselves in his mind
He said very Ned Flanders lol okily dokily lmao
A deep dive here of self forgiveness and repressed memories
I think this is the second or third time Steven has done an act of violence
Das a cute top
