Moon Knight - SPOILERS

[Ryujin]

Tawaret is my new favourite superhero
)Though lets spare a thought for Antonia Salib - cast as a fun loving Egyptian woman, then only seen as a Hippo, her super hero form played by someone else!)

The death of Osiris was unsatisfying though, especially as he’s god of death and ressurection!

and why a spanish speaking assasin?

The death scene of the god of death and resurrection should be unsatisfying, because it's not permanent.

Why not a Spanish speaking assassin? Isaac speaks fluent Spanish.

His name is the anglosaxon Jake Lockley though, other than that no reason not to speak Spanish, it just seemed a bit random - until I reflected that the personalities are in Marcs head, so maybe he knew some spanish gangsters in his chicago childhood

Quite an ending! They really did so much but it did not feel too rushed. I loved the Layla/Taweret exchange, with Taweret exuberantly exclaiming "we're gonna have so much fun!"
The battle between Ammit and Khonshu in Cairo was epic, a reverse mirror of the fight between their avatars on the streets below.
I also liked the bargaining scene between Khonshu and Marc/Steven, but I noted that when Steven made the deal he said "both of us" leaving Khonshu free to continue his work using Jake (who seems more than happy to oblige).
Really hoping to see a second season of this!

The one thing missing was Layla's superhero name. Marc/Steven is Moon Knight, so is she Duat Defender? Hippo Woman doesn't quite seem right.

A quick search turned up "Scarlet Scarab."

Thanks for that. The only Scarlet Scarab I know from the comics was an Egyptian villain (and male, too), and had no ties to Taweret as far as I recall. It's a cool name and I am glad to see it redeemed for a hero. My only complaint is she does not seem to have any scarlet in her costume that I could see.

Laylas an entirely new character created for the show, so (maybe) theyve taken an old hero moniker and applied it to Layla - the only connection is that the characters are Egyptian

Also, Layla was badass as Taweret’s avatar!

I have to wonder if after her experience there, and particularly the one young woman's response to her, she's going to be in as big a hurry to make her relationship with Taweret "temporary" as she went in thinking.

Would that make her the first hero in the MCU that's not from the comics?

Also, a pretty great series all the way through. We even got gods fighting gods kaiju style so that's awesome. Seems like a season 2 should be in the works for these characters.

yes it would
thats quite a significant milestone - lets see if she gets canonised in the comicbooks too
