38. Moon Knight S1E1 Discussion

Move over Batman! Moon Knight is on the...



No. No, that definitely doesn't feel right. Marvel Studios brings another entry to the Disney Plus streaming service, for the first time featuring a character that has absolutely no previous ties to Avengers and may never tie in to the MCU. Yes, I know the "Defender" series were moved over, but those existed first on Netflix.



Steven Grant is a mild-mannered "gift shop-ist" who seems to just want to stay under the radar and stay awake. In the first entry to the short (and maybe limited) series, he comes to grips with his dissociative identity disorder. His best friends seem to be a fish with one fin that he has already replaced and a gold painted street performer that won't say a word. Donna, Dylan, and JB don't seem to wish him harm (yet), but Ammit's scales are the new trend in tattoos apparently. Arthur Harrow might enjoy an Annie Lennox tune ("Walkin' on Broken Glass") just as much as Bob Dylan. Englebert Humperdinck, Wham!, Nagat and DJ Kaboo (as well as Abdel Halim Hafez's "Khosara") all get sampled before we finally hear that sweet, sweet new theme music.
