"Your Scales lack balance"

Moon Knight not only inaugurates a fresher superhero character but also incorporates (deliberately) a much deeper psychological element into its core narrative. I would go as far as to say that this felt more like an innate character study on Steven Grant/Marc Spector rather than a typical origin story of an ancient Egyptian God.

I may sound like I'm complaining but trust me I am not. Matter of fact, I love when a story provides much more than it has promised. It's just that I didn't expect such kind of depth from Marvel. Even though, I knew that they would eventually feature a psychologically troubled character in their show but never in my wildest dreams did I imagine Marvel would nail the execution.

It is incredible, whatever it is that they had done with the character, it's freaking brilliant. And we should also give props to Oscar Isaac for such a tremendous enactment as well. Again and again, this man proves to be one of the most versatile actors we currently have in the industry.

That being said, has it all been perfect? No, absolutely not. There were indeed a couple of noticeable discrepancies regarding the rest of the supporting cast; particularly with the main antagonist; who for all intents and purposes, came off as one dimensional and uninteresting.

Where are the Writers? I need a word with them. I mean come on, you got none other than Ethan Hawke to play the bad guy here yet you gave him nothing significant to work with?! That's a shame. We all know how great of a performer he is, yet it looks like the very thought of properly utilising his acting chops never crossed your minds. Disappointing!

May Calamawy as Layla was a neat addition though, I don't have any qualms about her portrayal other than the fact that her presence in the story, her screentime could have been lengthened, for the sake of her character and her portion of the narrative.

So to conclude, I did take a liking to whatever Marvel had in its offering this time, although I must confess, I haven't read any of the comics nor do I claim to possess vast knowledge about the 'Lores' so I cannot pass any comments about how much 'Comicbook Accurate' this whole show has been. You are more than welcome to put your two cents in.
