This is definitely a show that would have been better to binge.
Good episode in execution but it stands or falls on whether what happens next pays it a off in a satisfactory way.

Kind of interesting how Bushman has been pushed off to the side--not sure if that's because they're saving him for more Moon Knight later or because they just think he's not very interesting per se.

If the internet is to be believed nobody is under contract for more Moon Knight. So given the care Disney has gone to wrt other contracts, seems unlikely they are planning any more.

Yeah I think Oscar Isaacs himself has commented on that being a reason he accepted. |

I finally went back and gave this another go. Episode 1 is definitely not good (non-comic reader perspective). It's tedious and meanders. The rest of this season surprised me as I binged it over 2 days. It's better than I thought and TBH, wouldn't hate another seasonn. But I'm also happy where it ended.

I'd go for a season of Hippo-God-Dame.
Not fussed about more Moon Knight if I'm honest.
I enjoyed this but didn't particularly leave me thinking I want to see more of it.

I liked the Layla character. She might struggle to find a good moniker. "Mighty Water-Pig"? "Hippo Warrior?"

It really did feel like a Netflix show, bad and good. Including being an episode too long.

Bingo. Read an article talking about how proud they were when they stripped out the intro and outro that had MCU connections. Apparently doesn't understand why the ABC/Netflix stuff struggled, though I think this stuff is better than all but a handful of the Netflix stuff (S1 DD/Cage). I don't mind it being a limited run, as that fits the Marvel comics formula. I'm pretty sure we'll see a new Moon Knight at some point. The main problem with the current phase of the MCU is some really odd director choices that aren't working out very well. My solution is just to have Taika Waititi direct everything. |

Turns out she has an official name: "Scarlet Scarab".
I didn't see anything red on her costume though.

Scarlet Scarab is based on a really minor Marvel character that her father was named after. Her costume was supposed to be evocative of Isis, but Isis is too serious and they felt that pairing serious Laylah with Isis would’ve been redundant.
That said, I love everything about her character, from the Rachel Weiss, “Mummy” vibes to the badassery of the costume and powers.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something. We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail
