Marvel’s Moon Knight (Disney+, 2022) TV Show • Page 6

this wants to be Sentry so bad

 

Just started but I can’t see how I’ll hate a show that opens with a Dylan song

 

This was very intriguing.

 

It was pretty good overall. Had some cool visuals here and there for sure. I'm sure we'll get a better look at some action next week but I was hoping for a bit more in this one. Very happy hearing F Murray Abraham though and cant wait for more of him.

 

I thought this was great.

Shocked to get a Last Airbender reference.

 

That did make me laugh, although I hope the writer didn't actually think it's an anime...

 

Could just be part of the joke in that Steven thinks it is

 

I was curious about this, so I've been Googling some things and so far what I've found is a lot of people debating this topic that probably have no business debating it to begin with.

But what I also found is some places indicating that in Japan, "anime" refers to any and all animation and so under that umbrella, Avatar technically would be an anime because all animation is anime.

TV Tropes lists has an interesting wrinkle to this. It's indicating that the word "anime" came from the Japanese word "animeshon", which is itself an English loanword. So does this mean Japan took the word animation from us, and then we in turn took the word anime from them? The circle of life?

 

absolutely loved this. I already know some people are mad at the departure from the comics but Moonie basically gets reinvented every decade anyway. I'm fine with it as long as the interpretation has vision, which this clearly does. final sequence was a knockout

 

I always considered Avatar an anime because it's in the same style as many other animes.

 

I’ve met more TLA fans that dislike it being called a “cartoon” more than an “anime”


I hope we get some more emotions with Hawke. Hopefully the script allows him to go out and he just doesn’t walk around slowly with a cane.

 

I'm really curious where they're going with Hawke's character. seems to be a totally original villain so they have carte blanche to go crazy with it. he was great in this anyway though, especially his delivery of "I am trying to help you"

 

So happy to see this character on screen. Smiled the whole way through.

 

Loved the first episode

 

CG was rough at points, but I liked this a lot

 

Really enjoyed this episode and the acknowledgement of Duchamp made me smile.

Wondering how accurate this portrayal is and will be to actual DID.

 

No hate, do people just watch to nitpick CG? Cause I didn't see anything that bothered me or jumped out

 

One thing I'm curious about now is who he's talking to when he's appearing to be talking to his mother. Because there's two possible scenarios I can think of.

Either he's talking to Marc's mother and she knows Marc has DID and is just treating her son like her son no matter which personality, or he's talking to someone else. Or nobody.

So three scenarios, I guess.

 

There was a shot during the car chase that stood out to me as looking off and can only assume it was the cg. I didn’t bother to go back and really look at it, but it was noticeable to me. I can’t really say whether the monster at the end was well done or not because I feel like I wasn’t given a single good shot of it. I can’t picture it in my head at all and I just watched it.



beyond that, I liked it. Was bummed that they only showed us Steven’s POV until that last scene. I think that’ll change moving forward, so I won’t view it as a negative since we have 5 more episodes. They clearly wanted to give us a foundation of what Steven’s life was like as far as he knew. I know nothing about the character, so I can’t compare it to anything, but I dig it so far.

 

So, Marc is the primary personality? Based on the episode I assumed Steven was the primary and Marc is the other, for lack of a better word. I don’t know any of the DID terminology so sorry if I said something improper.

 

Marc is the primary in the comics, and I assume it's the same here for multiple reasons, but perhaps the biggest is that they've cast Marc's parents.

 

I was thinking the third option

 

Seems odd that they’d focus on Steven so much in the first episode then. Interesting.

 

I think I mentioned this earlier in this thread, but I once wrote a concept of what I thought a Moon Knight show would be like for funsies, and I also had the idea to start with Steven and work backward, just because Moon Knight's origin is so convoluted it makes more sense to unravel it than it does to fly right into it.

 

I thought this was fine? I’m really nervous for Marvel’s TV and movie team attempting a story with DID so heavily involved. Really liked both Oscar and Ethan Hawke though so we’ll see
