Moon Knight - SPOILERS

I also heard they had a lot of easter eggs and connections to the larger MCU planned. But seeing the end result of the series, they liked it so much that they removed most of it, because they were certain the series could hold it's on without the connections.

About that ... they are making it harder to connect this to the other shows. I think this first episode was great. But, I'm not sure what it is doing in MarvelVerse.

It's opening the door, along with Doctor Strange, to the mystical side of the Marvel Universe. After this you've got Blade, Black Knight, Damien Hellstrom (Take THAT, name give-aways!), Magik (though unlikely, because she's also a mutant), and many more.

She's a mutant, but Marvel has those back under their wing now.

However, Magik was in the not good New Mutants movie, so....

It is hanging out, being interesting in and of itself, without having to be inextricably connected to everybody else's stuff.

I was unaware of that, as I haven't seen it. I guess there's good reason for that.

It actually had promise. I was okay with the plotline they chose, and the themes. The actors were (mostly) up to the challenge. The special effects were okay, but... it wasn't good.

But, if you have morbid curiosity and time, it is available on Hulu and HBO Max, I think.

One thing we have going for it is the geography. Being in the UK lets it share a world with the avengers without being right next door. Beyond the "Khosu may not want to interact with other people", it adds more credance to why the avengers don't just show up as soon as the stakes get too high".

HBO Max only until the exclusivity deals the Fox signed run out. It shows up in a Hulu search, but you still have to buy HBO Max through Hulu to watch it.

I enjoyed it and think it was better than several of the X-Men movies and the 2nd Wolverine movie, but The New Mutants was one of my favorite comic books and Magik will always be a favorite character.

Two plot holes in Moon knight: Oscar Isaac saying he can’t date anyone because the ankle restraints on his bed are a red flag and the other is him renting that apartment in Central London while working in a gift shop.
