Marvel TV Schedule: what are you excited about?
- Thread starter Morrus
- Start date
Moon Knight is a favorite of mine of old, but I have since realized how problematic the character is - in the comics, due to trauma*, he has what a layman would call a "multiple personality disorder", and that brings up tons of issues about mental illness that could be handled very badly. I still think it can be done well, but.. it'd be hard. Oscar Isaac probably has the chops, but we'll see...
He's in many ways a Batman analog, dude who goes out an puches people in the night, but with a big lampshade on Bats' mental health issues.
My understanding is that this will be a live-action series.
* And possibly an Egyptian moon god (Khonsu, who among other things is thought to watch over those traveling at night - much of the real world Temple of Karnak is centered on Khonsu - he was a big deal)) talking in his head - while we accept it as a real thing in the comics today, at the character's beginning, there was a question whether his patron actually existed or not.

I used to like the What If? comics a lot but not sure I'd invest the time in a TV series. Possibly if its small amount of episodes and I'm able to binge watch them. I still have about a years worth of unopened Spider-Man comics I never got to from 2010 so chances are small.
EDIT: That's coming soon Aug 11th, is that on Disney+?

Yep. "What if...?" comes to Disney+ on Aug 11th. There are reportedly 23 episodes, where several of the later live-action series are like 6 episodes.

All of them honestly. But What if...? because it is next, and Hawkeye because I am a sucker for Archery and lower level power stories.
There's talk of Charlie Cox being in the next Spider-Man movie, and Kingpin being a major antagonist in Hawkeye.
