It's been almost a year since the series came out and only now have I mustered up the courage to watch the last thing Gaspard Ulliel starred in.
He was amazing in this role. Tho I'm not sure why his appearance was so short.
This man will stay frozen in time and stay forever young and handsome. </3
Pretty solid for a Marvel show. Not a fan of the PS2 CGI, but it has one of the best ''mindblowing'' endings I've seen in a while.It has also almost no connections to the rest of the MCU.
While Moon Knight has a lot going for it - Oscar Isaac in a dual role, May Calamawy, the intriguing story telling created by the blackouts, all the Egyptian lore, and a slam-bang finale - it also tends to frustrate. At times, it wants to be Legion (the Marvel show starring Dan Stephens), but never goes as far. Ethan Hawke, a very different, more reasoned and subtle villain may not be grandiose enough for the MCU. And at only 6 episodes, you might think there's way too little actual MOON KNIGHT content. I had all these thoughts even if none of these issues actually bothered me. Within the MCU, the show had its own identity - Batman (or maybe Hawkman) meets Raiders of the Lost Ark - and told its story in an unusual way. It has the moments of humor, action and spectacle we expect, but was surprisingly gory compared to Disney's normal fare. And it never shows a connection to the rest of the shared universe, which is also surprising. Oscar Isaac is a MOVIE star, so it's probably only a matter of time before the Fist of Khonshu shows in a film. Between him, the Black Knight and the upcoming Blade reboot, the MCU's darker, more mystical side is slowly evolving, but into what?
