- SHEESH talk about an emotional episode. Thank you so much for watching my reaction to Moon Knight Episode 5, "Asylum." I was left near speechless after this episode. What was revealed was truly tragic, traumatic and awful for Marc to have experienced. One more episode to go, wonder what is in store for us as Marc or Moon Knight!

SHEESH this episode was heavy. I recommend watching some cute puppy videos to follow it up
Cute puppy videos definitely are needed now :')
Truly an emotional episode. I seldom see you cry yet here I am watching you wipe a tear away the same time as I do mine. So much for being a grown man. Also once again I am amazed at your insight into the minds of Mark and Steven as in I never thought of those things when I first watched these episodes.
No child should have to go through what Marc went through. He has one of the saddest origin stories I've ever seen.
"I'm not a murderer" is exactly what a murderer would say. Nice reaction to a rough episode
That's why she's always saying "please don't get arrested"
Whenever Steven is "leaving a voicemail" for his mum, you can see he ends it and then the hand holding the phone just drops without him visibly hanging up. In this episode you can see when Marc stops fronting and Steven starts that he just lifts the phone to the side of his head. Looking at the screen, its not even on a phone app, he didn't dial anything. Steven leaving voicemails always highlights the ways he wishes things could go, like how "well" the date went. His entire life of having a good relationship with a kind, loving mother is not only part of an imagined ideal, but he's further projecting a happier, better version every day because he wants so desperately to be happy. For just as long as he keeps talking, he can picture what it would be like to be a man, calling his mother, talking about his beloved pet goldfish and the date he's got planned. But, he can never have that. Just a tragic, tragic man who's an alter in a system that is altogether just walking tragedy.
This single episode is the best Disney ever did on Disney+. And the acting from Oscar Isaac was nothing less than the best of the bests. He deserves the Emmy for this 100%.
@@DreamFearless That was good because of the nostalgia. This was unknown entity.
This was an amazing episode in a fantastic series! This is my favorite Disney+ series, WandaVision being a close second.
I cried so much when I first watched this. My father and mother were both shit so this episode hit me hard. Especially the beating scenes. Reminded me so much of how I was brought up.
Emme: "I am not a murderer!"
Us: "That's a suspiciously unprompted denial...."
I never imagined that a Disney MCU tv show would manage to approach the dark weirdness of the comic at its best, but this episode absolutely nails it.
There's a reason she's always telling us to please not get arrested...
23:01 that was a way to make Steven face the truth. People with DID are often in strong denial about something in their life or their past, just like Steven was. Usually the only way to make them realize it is to put them in a corner like that.
27:10 ah, I was expecting that reaction. 90% of people had the same reaction. I guess the producers wanted to point to that before subverting it. Still, that proves popculture has a long way to go before portraying DID correctly so that not everyone jump to that conclusion.
Moon Knight isn't Moon Knight without Steven (and Jake) too. And Systems don't have to fuse to be happy. Actually, Marc would get worse without Steven and Jake. He always got worse without them in the comics.
Yes yes yes 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I guess I view this differently. I don’t think this portrays fusion because Steven didn’t fuse into Marc, Steven is in the sand, his memories, his desires, his dreams, his aspirations, his attitude towards life is all left behind in the sand and he didn’t fuse into Marc, Jake is in the Sarcophagus and hadn’t open that yet, so that is separate, that’s the only reason he was balanced because it was only him just Marc but in Episode 6 when Marc was like no and went to Steven they were now both balanced because Marc could now accept Steven.
For Me I don’t think Final Fusion is the right answer of course because back then it was only this way and your healed type of thing now Healthy Multiplicity is for most people’s goals.
Sorry typing later just watching this reaction.
Good example of Two different Systems will be The Entropy System which they live a Healthy Multiplicity lives and travel to different places with their spouses and MultiplicityAndMe did Final Fusion and is living her best lives with her child and spouse
16:10 Khonshu is a morally grey character. He fight for good, but he's not above using dirty tricks to do so. Very fitting for a god of a pantheon. They were far from perfect.
Layla wasn't a nurse she was a patient. The nurses would not have been playing Bingo along with the patients
Probably my favorite episode out of all of them and I'm glad that you enjoyed it
Oscar Isaac is such an incredible actor💜💜
My favorite episode throughout the show ❤️ we get to learn who's the original host and Marc's backstory, Thank you for reacting to this❤️ Excited for your Finale and end credit scene reaction 😍
I've never seen someone get moon knight better lol. I've seen some people be just so absolutely confused, but you understood and not only that, but predicted every single next scene again and again and again. Crazy
"I don't know if I'm emotionally equipped for this episode."
Nobody is (even people like me who have read the comics). But your analysis of the episode was fascinating to watch -- very insightful (although you are still wrong about some things 🙂 )
No spoilers, but I'm impatient for you to see the last episode.
I think I'll go watch a few cute puppy videos now...
FINAL EPISODE AND ENDGAME SPOILERS:
It's really interesting, I feel like the reason she concluded that the fantastical mythological world wasn't real is actually because she hasn't watched much Marvel. The show really leans into that idea, that the psychiatric hospital is real, but I don't think it's very easy for a long time MCU fan to believe, because Marvel can often be fairly formulaic and predictable, and they've never gone that far with any of their movies/shows. Even with Infinity War, while they killed off tons of characters, Endgame reversed most of those deaths. Not to mention that that decision to make the mythological stuff in Mark's head would possibly mean that he didn't ever even have powers to begin with, which isn't really something Marvel would do.
I still shed tears. I believe each person has these dualities or more about being strong, being weak and charming, of being more but being just a regular person.
Bing Bong moment is brutal in InsideOut and Moon Knight
Food for thought: no matter what Disney+ series you watch always have a box of tissues on stand by cause NO ONE was prepared for this lol. I just need Oscar Isaac to finally get his damn Emmy and all the roses he deserves cause his acting is top tier
Sorry Emme, we know you're a murderer cuz you're killin' it! Just a tip, there's an end credits scene after the final episode you'll want to stick around for. (Almost all the MCU films have them too, just in case you weren't aware.)
This is probably my fav episode of all the MCU/Disney+ shows for now (not counting the ones that were added after the Netflix deal was finished).
Way back in the first episode, when Steven is talking to the little girl at the museum, she says "Did it suck for you, to get rejected from the Field of Reeds?"
30:05 no they were indeed in the underworld the whole time. There were just many layers of consciousness to it. Think of it like Inception if you saw that movie. Episode 5 was a mind-ception with 3 different depths : the memories, with Tawaret on the boat, and in the office with Dr Harrow.
Yup, this is what Marvel does. You think you're going to watch a "superhero" movie or show, and they wind up smacking your emotions all over the damn place. That said, I love them for it! Over and over again they keep introducing you to these characters you may or may not ever heard of before, and you wind up caring so much for them! Your reactions are some of my favorites. You approach these crazy stories with such a curiosity and an open intellect. Hope you're enjoying the journey!
A common misconception of superheroes as a medium is that it is only action. Superheroes/comic book characters have the same rules as basically any form of fiction: They work because they reflect some aspect of truth and reality in our lives, which means they go through trials, tribulations, and tragedies, like we do. That's what makes them compelling. The action is cool, but they would not work as well if not for their basis in reality.
26:27 fusion is indeed a thing, but not for the Marc system. That's not who they are. They're always a system, and they're stronger that way. Yeah usually in scifi or fantasy with characters that are 'parts' of each other fusion is always the solution but these stories don't portray DID. Actual accurate DID is very rare in media.
But you're not that far about what the lesson of their story arc is though. They do have to accept each other, but that doesn't mean they'll 'become one' or that they have to.
Knowing that helps understand what happens to Steven at the end. 90 % of people who reacted to the dhow focused on what it meant for Marc's are, because tgst episode was pretty centered on him and his memories.
The clever trick the writers and producers did here is that episode 5 is still about Steven and his story-arc. It was about Steven learning the truth, learning who Marc really is, and learning about who *he* is, and what his place is in their system. The scales balanced not because Marc had to let go of Steven, or made peace with his past (he will never be able to do that), the scales balanced because *Steven* finally stepped up as Marc's protector. Steven didn't have to die for the scale to balance, but by sacrificing himself to save Marc, it did balance the scales
I like to say the Doctor Harrow part is the Inner World every time one of them gets overwhelmed they retreat into the Inner World that’s why it’s so familiar, the office is the same place as Harrow’s man cave, the desk is the same when Steven was taking to the HR person, the reason the bandage is different is probably because it’s first Jake then Marc and then Steven, they all have different parts of the Trauma, Jake physical, Marc emotional and Steven not knowing that.
Yes, this episode can crush you.
I call myself a rough'n'tough male. Only cry when puppies are involved. But this episode - and especially Oscar Isaac's insane performance - gave me shivers!
You are a great commenter! I love how you explain how you try to figure out the story as it goes along.
Another great reaction. I too, was WTF and this episode kept me thinking and guessing as to what was next. Glad I wasn't alone on that. See ya on the next upload.
Just found your channel, love the way you talk to the audience! Keep it up!
27:40 nope! Because Steven accepted his role in the system and defended Marc !
Thanks to one of the producers confirming one of my hunch about that scene
I just recently discovered your channel,watching your reaction to Obi-Wan and because I was fascinated by the idea of seeing someone watching Star Wars anew in the actual sequential order that they take place as opposed to the chronological order they were released in,and because of your thoughtful Insight.Because you ask so many questions that will eventually be explained that we who are familiar with Star Wars already know and your speculation about those possible answers,which I have found fascinating. Because of this I decided to sub your channel and watch your reaction to a Marvel show I really enjoyed because it left me guessing every episode like you! I would next recommend you watching Wanda Vision,but I know you're going to do it in chronological order of release and although this is one of the most recent releases it's slightly outside of the main story lines of the movies and the other Disney Plus shows,so it's basically a standalone series, but the mystery and the acting in it is on par with this series! Dare I say no spoilers,but it's even more of a mind Bender it will leave you guessing because for every answer there are a thousand additional questions that pop up exponentially. It's been fun getting a glimpse of how your mind works and how you deduce things and how accurate your theories and predictions are! So I've been fascinated and entertained! But just to clarify without any spoilers Mark is dead! He is in the afterlife the psychiatric hospital was his mental projection while he was dying on the way to his final destination and as he stated the reason that he projected it as a psycho ward is because he feels he's crazy because he has multiple personalities! And there are multiple different planes of untethered Consciousness that different people who believe in different deities go to when they die,this just happens to be one he finds himself in because it's Egyptian, and as Mark was growing up when he became Steven and pretended to be a Indiana Jones type character who specialized in Egyptology he learned a great deal about Egypt so his subconscious mind would take the path that the ancient Egyptians believe would take place after you died! But once again he's dead the psych ward was just a projection because of his mind's unrest and the fact that he is mentally ill! I look forward to your reaction to the final episode and most importantly your continuing Journey Through the Star Wars universe!👍✌️
This show was based on the Jeff Lemire comic run where it was established that Khonshu had been manipulating Marc from the start and possibly even before that. Also Khonshu chose Marc so he could hollow him out and possess him.
The acting in this show is just beyond superb. I love every second of it, and this episode always makes me cry still
Think of the doctor's office as the actual organizing principle in Mark's head. And the reason that the doctor is represented by Harrow, is because it's very easy to view the person who makes you face your trauma as your enemy.
I really enjoy watching your reaction videos. I like most, you're taking a very cerebral approach.
I don't want to be arrested and I'll do my best to stay hydrated, but my knees are shot. So no stretching for me.
This episode was one of the best hours of anything Marvel has ever produced. So crazy to think how Oscar Isaac pulled it off, (FYI, in case you didn't know, his actual brother acted as the stand-in for the Marc/Steven scenes, so Isaac was talking to his literal brother while acting about the death of his fictional brother) and how great that Marvel wanted to even do something like this. Love your reactions and how you engage with the content!
Hi Emme , I just finished watching your reaction to Marvel Moon Knight episode 5 you just got episode 6 to go can't wait to see you reaction to that one I'm also enjoying your reaction to seeing Star Wars and the Clone Wars and I hope after Moon Knight maybe you'll see Ms Marvel next and my favorite part of your reaction to this episode is when we learn how Marc the powers of the Moon Knight from Khonshu it was really sad that Steven learn the truth about himself that he didn't have a mom who loved him and that all his time calling her an episode 1 and 2 it was just like pretending that he was speaking to her and it was really it sad disappointing that the mom blamed Mark for his brother's death I mean to me it's the parent's smaller than your kids going to Cave by themselves they're too young and sorry about Steven in the end but we'll see what happens in the next episode cuz this cannot be the end of Steven plus you're going to love episode 6 see you in next episode Emme👋✌
“I don’t know if I’m emotionally equipped for this episode” don’t worry, no one was.
Hi Emme I'm just here to say that I'm a huge fan of you and I hope your channel keeps growing cause you definitely deserve it and I'm excited for you to react to marvel movies cause I'm a fan of them ill be watching them with you
26:48 is exactly what i thought when i saw this part
Oh it’s totally „Inside Out!“ Clever Girl 🥹 It’s all about fighting the demons 🧟♂️in your own Head.. Can not wait for the next Episode! 😄
🐦
„Now rise, rise and live again! As my Fisk 👊 of Vengeance! As my MOON KNIGHT!“
More Marvel!!!! Can't wait! You Rock! Moonknight is so good :)
Oh yes the long awaited Marc backstory 😂 By the way what will be the next series or a movie youre going to react to other than Star Wars after you finish Moon Knight?
3:05 good call for someone who didn't know they had DID until now ahah
In my opinion none of the other MCU movies/series can touch Moonknight and Oscar Isaacks performance. Ethan Hawke and May Calamawy were great as well.
Not even Wanda vision? I'm going with it to tie when it comes to the acting and also the sheer mystery of what the hell's going on! That was the first Marvel show I ever watched and what got me hooked on to Marvel so I honestly can't choose which one I like best! That's why I'm calling it a tie.
1:15 the fun thing about Moon Knight is that it's both.
There's the more realistic part with their disorder, and then there's the gods and magic stuff
And sometimes in the comics it's hard for the Marc system, and the reader, to differentiate between the two.
"ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴇʀᴇ ᴊᴜꜱᴛ ᴀ ᴄʜɪʟᴅ" 💔
8:30 she's totally a murderer 😯
"its all your fault" cause it cant be the fault of the adult responsible for raising and keeping them safe haha, no no never the bad parents fault for no keeping an eye on their kids...
Layla wasn't a nurse in the psych ward, she was another patient.
Layla isn't a nurse actually, she is another intern of the psychiatric.
17:15 I know you weren't being literal here ,but Steven wasn't 'invented', for a lack of a better word he was 'born', since he's as much a real person as Marc is.
When u watch marvel shows don't forget the Netflix shows starting with daredevil
Hi emme
❤️💕😍💕❤️
No one is ever prepared for MK Ep 5 - MCU shows doing what they do best; childhood trauma intercut with CGI fight scenes.
This episode is true to how DID forms. That said, this episode did handle something poorly that doesn't get resolved until the next one.
Can you please react to arcane ✨💜🦋 before you go deep into the MCU
