Moon Knight Season One
SCORE: 65
Thanks to our two dollar Disney+ month I am able to review Moon
Knight Season One. I wish these shows would be released in the physical
copy format of DVD and/or Blu-ray. I vaguely remember Moon Knight from
the comic books. A hero all in white that reminded me a lot of Batman.
Moon Knight Season One will play with your mind. Is this real? Is this
fantasy? Is it just in this guy's head? Figuring out what is really
happening is quite the challenge in Moon Knight Season One.
Please be aware there will be spoilers in this review. We first meet
Steven who has blackouts and becomes Marc. Little do we know at the
beginning that Steven is the made up personality and Marc is the main
person. That comes much later in the six episodes that make up Moon
Knight Season One. Six episodes is a bit light for a season but much
longer than one of the movies. The scene in the credits opens the door
for another season.
Mark is serving an Egyptian deity called Khonshu. He is given powers of
a suit. Steven is initially considered as an idiot and Marc is
competent. We do not learn until the end credits of the last episode
that there is a third personality Jake. There were hints to a third
personality when Marc would black out and Steven said it was not him who
did it. All of the scenes in the insane asylum throughout Moon Knight
Season One are very interesting. At times it feels like all of the super
hero content is in the head of Marc, Steven, and Jake.
The issues families can have with Moon Knight Season One are blood,
violence, bad language, lack of attire, enticement to lust, false
gods/goddesses, obscene gestures, and more. The Egyptian deities work
through avatars which are humans being given additional powers. Moon
Knight Season One teaches us about the Egyptian afterlife beliefs, as
well as what it is like for someone with mental illness. At times Moon
Knight Season One can be a bit weird.
I could find no MCU Phase Four connections within Moon Knight Season
One. It does introduce the character and make him feel like he is out of
the super hero business. We learn in the end that he is not really out.
Layla is Marc's wife and she winds up becoming an avatar for Taweret.
Moon Knight Season One debates an interesting question. Do you punish
evil people before they do their evil acts or after? How can you be sure
you will get the right people? Would you kill children if it means not
having another Stalin or Mao?
All of the content issues aside there are plenty of interesting things
within Moon Knight Season One. The whole mind game this show plays with
the viewer kept me really engaged. I liked Moon Knight Season One way
more than many of the other MCU TV shows I have seen thus far. I hope
this show gets another season. It would also be neat to see this
character in other MCU shows and movies. Make sure you pay attention the
age rating of Moon Knight Season One.
