TOPIC: Marvel: Moon Knight

Enjoyable? No.

Was it supposed to be? Probably not.

I thought it was pretty good, definitely different. I hope we get more Mark and Moon Knight in future episodes. It looks like Marlene and Frenchie aren't going to be in the series.

I enjoyed it, but then I'm thrilled every time I get something that allows me to relive all the comics I read growing up.

It was a little different, and like all the Marvel series to date, it had its own unique "feel".

I'm still hoping some of my more obscure favorites like Machine Man, Ambush Bug, and Shade the Changing Man (Ditko) will eventually get a live-action adaption.

Too early for me to judge. I am also a fan of Oscar so I am likely to be biased.

I think one of the names on the phone he found is supposed to be a Frenchie reference, so we may get an actual appearance?

That would be great. I miss his high tech stuff like his Copter, but I suppose a gift shop salesman can't afford that quite like a millionaire can. I'll focus on enjoying the show for what it is rather than focusing on what it's missing.

It was VERY true to the Comics...if you haven't read Moon Knight then you are likely having a WTF moment.

That stuff belongs to other guy, not the shop salesman

It wasn't a different alter, Steven Grant is the Millionaire in the comics, so since he's been changed to a Gift Shop Salesman in the MCU, it appears that there aren't any Alters that are millionaires. From what they said, the fact that Moon Knight is much less well known gave them freedom to make bigger changes in the adaption.

Interesting Easter Egg in the show, apparently. If you scan the QR code in the background when he is in the museum the first time, it will get you a free electronic copy of Werewolf by Night 32.

To mike's comment about the Steven Grant persona, I saw an interview where they wanted to get away from the billionaire superhero character, like Tony Stark, or Bruce Wayne in DC. It is also why they went with London as NYC is the backdrop for so many heroes. I'd wager we get to see some of the big money background at some point, maybe once he finds the storage locker that matches that key or towards the end of this season.

I'm sure you're right. The comic version of Moon Knight has a lot of similarities to Batman, so I think they're intentionally creating more of a contrast between the two.
