Moon Knight (Marvel TV series)

Finally got round to watching the the last 2, couple of cringe worthy moments, nothing so in your face blatant as f&was. Think the fight choreography is still poor for the money spent personally, still waiting on a really compelling villain in these marvel shows.

I Think my favourite villain out of all the Marvel shows, Netflix and Disney+, was probably Killgrave from Jessica Jones. Fisk/Kingpin from Darevil was also brilliant too.

The Disney+ ones haven't hit that level just yet. But I suppose they also haven't hit the poor level of Iron Fist either

I thought Hawke's villain was great, I'd certainly put him on the level of everyone except Fisk. Most of the shows haven't had a main villain for a lot of the series (Loki, Hawkeye, Wandavision) as they've been fairly non standard structurally.

Cause only alpha men saving a damsel in distress is representative of the real world.

The Moon Knight they showed on TV was not the character from the comics. They deliberately broke the character for agenda rather than adapt the source material as written.

I'm not fragile enough that it bothers me seeing a man being saved by a woman. In a show dealing with Egyptian gods and super-powers I'm able to distance myself from reality and see it's just entertainment and in no basis reality.

But if using terms like 'soyboy' and '****' makes you feel like more of a man then do whatever makes you feel good. Amusingly I feel it actually proves the very opposite though. Clearly not comfortable enough in your own skin and manliness that you can just appreciate a TV show for being entertainment that it is.

Don't they both end up saving each other a few times through the series? But that's your beef with the show? Not the fact that the finale has a giant ******* crocodile and bird skeleton fighting. No, it's the fact a woman dare saves a man.

Get a grip.

Wouldn't bother arguing, is a loony. Absolutely zero "woke" in this show.

50/50 on it really.
English accent was awful, story was all over the show and got very weird at times.
Atthe same time I love a Marvel show, but honestly this one was a bit crap.

Wife and I were quite impressed with his English accent.

Thus far I thought its been good, though I didn't like this weeks episode. I though the main guys been quite good. English accent is ok, its just a little too fawning.

Not a bad show, enjoyable watch. Not as good as some of the earlier shows though, it seems they have been toned down for disney.

Really, it sounded like any America trying to do an English accent that they're all old time cocknies. Thought it was terrible.

But there is a reason it's terrible...

Agree to disagree. Thought it was good.

Amazing how many people seem to miss this. It's an intentionally poor accent.

Exactly, he came up with it as a child, copied from a movie, it was the start of his Dissociative identity disorder

Oscar Isaac said the English accent is intentionally bizarre and unconvincing, apparently he based it on Karl Pilkington of all people.

chroniclard · 15 May 2022 at 18:09

So he based a cockney accent on a manc? :cry:

Finally decided to watch this. It's easily the best Marvel TV show so far - as in, all the others have been garbage. It's a solid 7.5 - just very entertaining, actually quite funny and Oscar Isaac is excellent.

I agree. One of the 2 shows I actually enjoyed on D+ before I cancelled. It was actually good!
