Raziel Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Most of that is because of the "Mature" profile locks that came into being because of the Netflix stuff being imported over. I've seen people have run the mentioned stuff through a profile on both settings and the original remained intact on the Full Unlock setting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 1st episode was solid and interesting enough. I know damn near nothing about Moon Knight so I don't really recognize whatever changes has been made that would annoy fans of the character. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They built the narrative around him, and it's so annoying. In the comics, Marc created the Steven persona as a rich playboy to monitor and rub elbows with the wealthy elite. Steven's companies also finance Moon Knight's gear and equipment as well as Spector's mercenary side gig. Nearly a Batman / Bruce Wayne / Wayne Enterprises parallel, but Steven Grant is another alias of Marc Spector while Bruce is always Bruce.

odessasteps Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I presume we don’t get to see the Copter in this series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly knows very little about Moon Knight and not much of a fan of Moon Knight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimo Necro Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 I enjoyed the first episode. I loved how the scenes cutting back to Steven and he was in total WTF mode. Its also the closest representation to getting blackout drunk I’ve ever seen on TV. I’ve definitely woken up, wide awake, after a heavy night to not know what day it was, be chained to a bed, have a cute girl be pissed off at me and I have no clue why. I sleep walk as well, especially when drunk and have woken up in weird places. So it definitely resonates. For the record, I have never woken up after a night of drinking to find myself in a car chase down a narrow mountain road, at least as far as I can remember. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoFistsJustFlips Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Just caught episode one. I had zero expectations because I know nothing about this character. But man I really liked it. The tone and random drop ins and drop outs were definitely keeping my attention. My only question after episode one is who will the gold statue guy end up being? Lol he's giving all this info to a statue performer, hoping it turns out to be someone that factors into the story. It's only one episode so I will try and temper my expectations. But for me it's up there with Loki as the best Disney shows so far. Did not expect hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted April 6, 2022 Author Share Posted April 6, 2022 Episode 2: I enjoyed this as Steven Grant finds a warehouse with money, stolen artefacts belonging to Marc Spector. Arthur Harrow is after the scarab. Grant conjures a suit, the Mister Knight look thinking he can be in control vs this jackal but is unable giving Spector control as Moon Knight but doesn't let Grant regain his body. I'm liking the confusion Grant has over him, his surroundings with the performances by Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke. I see some on social media and @TheVileOne weren't happy with the treatment of Mister Knight. I'm with others in this thread who going into this was their first experience of Moon Knight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fighting a man with a perm Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Two episodes in a row now where Steven has lines specifically referring to how his name should be spelled. I've lived nearly 40 years with people spelling my name Stephen so I finally have a superhero fighting the truly good fight, "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, my name is Steven with a V"! 2 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitzkrieg Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 The first half of the episode wasn't bad, probably would put it as slightly better than the first episode. The second half of the episode(after the jackal was summoned) on the other hand was pretty bad. The manner they went with Mr. Knight was pretty horrible and the the chase sequence between Marc and the jackal just seemed cringey. Also so much bad exposition in the second half which is a shame because I felt the writing was quite good during the Hawke/Isaac confrontation. I will say I enjoyed the choice of Steven fighting the invisible jackal but at the same time I feel like the show continues to go for way too many cheap laughs. At this point I'll probably wait and see what people think of the next episode and use that to figure out whether I keep watching or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I’ve only ever read a couple of Moon Knight comics, and he was just Kirkland Batman in those. So with only that expectation going in, I’ve been enjoying the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Yeah, I’ll take this version of Mr. Knight over the Warren Ellis stuff. There’s a good chunk of the Lemire run in the show when it comes to the question of what’s real and what’s not and I much preferred that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swift Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Yep, as someone who knows nothing at all about this character or his world, I'm finding the show decently entertaining so far. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Anybody else catch the Global Repatriation Council advertisement on the bus in the last episode? Hopefully that'll shut up these people online that are trying to say Moon Knight is set in the late 00s/early 10s (all because of a fuckin' flip phone), or not even in the MCU.
