At this point, Marvel is the longest-running film franchise in history, in terms of the sheer number of projects that are linked together. For that reason, I enjoy it when one of their series or films comes along and feels distant from the rest. The new Disney+ series, Moon Knight, has just concluded, and even though I'm still scratching my head at a few things and while it does feel unfinished (especially for it being called a Mini-Series), I still thought it was great and very different from the rest of the franchise. For how weird and bizarre it sometimes gets, I can see casual viewers being turned off by it, but if you let it take you on its crazy journey, I believe it's satisfying. Here's why I believe Moon Knight deserves attention.

There's way more going on in this series than in this description I'm going to give, so keep in mind that everything I say here probably has one or two more things going on as well. Steven (Oscar Isaac) is a man who suffers from a multiple personality disorder. Trying to live a normal life working in a museum, he quickly learns that an Egyptian God has taken over the body of both himself and his other personality, Mark. Who is the real person, Mark or Steven? Is anything on-screen actually happening or is it in their head? These are all questions brought up throughout the series and many questions are still left unanswered by its conclusion.

I loved watching this series for how unique it was, but I'm also left a little confused as to where they're going with this character in the future. I want more Moon Knight, I at least know that, because Oscar Isaac is stellar in this role. From the way he portrays each personality and goes back and forth flawlessly, I couldn't get enough of it. In particular, episode five was crazy and weird in all the ways I wasn't expecting from this show and it made me love the character so much more. If for nothing else, this series is a nice stepping-off point to be able to take this character on wacky adventures in the future.

Overall, I'm still quite perplexed as to what I really watched, so I can't go into too many details right now. I will add that the directing work Mohamed Diab did was terrific and I look forward to more from him, but what made me so intrigued to check this out was that Aaron Moorehead and Justin Benson would also be directing. Their indie film work has impressed me in the past and Kevin Feige hiring their expertise for a Marvel project like this was genius. From thrilling moments to crazy visuals, adventure scenes to jump scares, Moon Knight had it all. Again, I'm very much questioning the point of the series in the grand scheme of things, but I had a great time watching it.
