Moon Knight - SPOILERS

[Enevhar Aldarion]

I know it’s just the one episode so far, but I usually watch MCU content with my children, and I’ve heard this one is “brutal”, so I’m wondering if I should watch it by myself first.

If you let them watch the Netflix Marvel shows, yes. If not, no, as I am guessing the violence will be a similar level.

"Humans have been studying Egyptian mythology since the 18th century"? So, no ancient Egyptians ever looked into the subject?

I am sure they mean modern day, starting with Napolean and the founding of Egyptology.

I haven’t even watched those, so I wouldn’t know. We’ve only watched the movies and shows available on Disney+ up till now (plus the Tom Holland Spidey films).

I believe the Mark identity is the original personality, so it's very interesting that they start out with Steven instead.

I think it is an excellent choice - it allowed Marvel to do its frequent playing with genre - from Steven's point of view, this episode is horror, not superheros.

I really enjoyed the first episode, Oscar Isaac is great as usual.

It got a TV-14 rating is the US, instead of TV-MA, which I think is the rating for the Netflix shows. One review compares the violence level to that in The Dark Knight.

OK. I have seen that.

This is not long, but it is informative:

The museum setting made think of the old joke:

"You know the only reason why the Pyramids are still in Egypt?
"No, why"
"Too heavy for the British to take."

Funny, since The Eternals had scenes in Babylon, and the literal gates of Babylon were stolen brick by brick and reassembled in Berlin's Pergamon museum. I've actually seen it, and the blue bricks in the movie were very distinctive.

(But anachronistic inn the Eternals, because that particular blue stone came hundreds of years later.)

I know nothing about the character — does his alter ego have superpowers?

Initially, the character was just a Batman-style costumed vigilante, but he's sometimes gotten powered up -- whether due to the influence of the Egyptian moon god or his own mental illness varies from telling to telling -- to have super-strength and associated talents. What's going on in this account remains to be seen.
