Looks like Isaac has some "power" given he is one of the very few actors that did not had to agree to a long term contract with Marvel/Disney. He has no contract to to anything past these 6 episodes but does not mean he won't be back playing Moon Knight

I really enjoyed the episode.

Everything about his acting style while portraying steven grant reminded me of Ash (Bruce Campbell) in the evil dead. (and that wasnt a bad thing)

Went in not knowing what to expect, and it was great.

Just knew Oscar Isaac would kill it. Better than I expected and it definitely has my interest

Your reaction was probably guided by the interference with the answering reflection stuff.

Were there a few wide angled close-ups on that confused face too? I'd have to look at it again, but maybe they were consciously welcoming Raimi to the MCU.
With Isaac playing a military mercenary with mental struggles and Hawke playing a self-abusing religious zealot I couldn't help but think of the recent movies of Paul Schrader too. 🤣🤣

Paul Schrader's Moon Knight. That'd be something.

I think I can speak for everyone who lives in the UK --we all have one question

HOW THE FRAK DOES HE AFFORD SUCH A LARGE FLAT WORKING AT A GIFT SHOP!?
Ya episode 2 sort of explains it but of course there could be another reason than the one given.

I liked that we see and learn more about Khonshu and the Ennead by extension which we have seen in Black Panther as the Wakandan's also worship a god from Heliopolis, which fits in with the recent multiverse themes as they come from a small pocket dimension. They are supposedly going to show up in Thor Love and Thunder which makes sense given Gorr the God butcher is in it.

We’re seeing some tie ins to Black Panther: Wakanda Forever as well I would imagine.

Should be interesting to see how their Egyptian gods tie into the MCU. We’ve seen though Thor and the Eternals that gods perceived my man, are really just from other worlds.

Given the legend of the black panther stemmed from the Vibranium meteor formed Wakanda, they are probably following a similar path.

Also I do wonder if we will have another Kang teaser in this show with Rama Tut and perhaps some tie ins with these Egyptian gods.

So far the plot line in Moon Knight seems too simple. I expect some curveballs thrown in.

There's supposedly no tie ins to other existing Marvel properties in this show.

Well that's not exactly right, there is already a tie in to Wakanda and the gods they worship as they are from the same place etc. Unless they are suddenly changing things in the MCU. They are keeping it close to their vests if he will have another season or move into other properties like movies. Also from what I have read, the reviewers have said the first 4 episodes they have seen do not have any direct ties to the MCU to that point. The last 2 are unknown.

Even producer Grant Curtis said that Mark Spector and Moon Knight come in with no MCU ties...does not mean they go out like that. Sort of like Iron Man/Tony Stark is how he compared it if I recall.

The flat is supposedly Steven's mom's but it doesn't look like one a mother own. Plus we never see the mom and we know Marc has money. It's likely that Marc is the main personality and Steven is the new one.

That's how it is in the comics. He is really Marvel's Batman in the comics as he is also a billionaire who owns Spector Corp.

I was insinuating the same thing you say...the money might be very well coming from the Mark personality but of course being the MCU they like to change some stuff as they need so we don't know for sure yet that he owns Spector Corp. Like in the comics his ex-wife/wife is Marlene Alraune not Layla...so they changed her name and race but in the comics she does become Moon Knight for while which they have hinted at in the last episode.

So is there a third personality named Scotty? Why did the security guard keep calling him that? Who set up the date?
