Oh yeah it did get mentioned in a very not important line that also namechecked Hitler, Nero and Pol Pot.

Still weird to think that this character got its own show. I only know of Moon Knight from when I was a kid and excited to get a comic of a character that had a connection with Ancient Egypt. :blush:
Marvel scrapes the barrel ever more.
And I thought it was weird when they made a Thor movie.

Let's talk when any of these get a show.

Gotta say episode 1 was better than I expected. Got me interested. It's certainly much better than the last time Isaac played an Egyptian-themed Marvel character.

Egyptian theme? Anyone freak out about a Latino playing the role yet?
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Watched the first ep. Its interesting. I like how they have the balance between comedy and violence, the black outs then oh, beaten up guys, stuff was awesome.

Not getting however how when he transforms to this 'Marc' he suddenly has a superhero costume and an accent.

The director is Egyptian so I guess that helps any silly why are you denying Remi Malek a job complaints?

I've looked up a viewing guide for all movies and series in release order (I prefer watching release rather than chronological order, just personal preference). If I started watching this casually, I am unsure if I would finish before I shuffle off this mortal coil. :D

I believe they suggested his faux-British accent is fake (part of thst alter) via the phone call he has.

The character isn't Egyptian. Wiki suggests he's actually Jewish in the comics.

We watched all the MCU films during lockdown on a casual pace. -_-

Split personality has always been part of the character. I don't remember the narcolepsy bit, but granted I didn't read that many Moon Knight comics and it was decades ago.

Well, the list includes the shows too - that's where it balloons considerably, esp. in recent years :D

It's a shame we don't do lockdowns anymore. :(

Well, of the old shows, you can skip Iron Fist and Luke Cage. The Defenders is so-so, but it has some Daredevil backstory for the last season.
Of the new shows, you can skip Marvel What If.

Luke Cage series 1 was good. Probably third best after Daredevil and Jessica Jones s1 (possibly Daredevil s2 too)
