Moon Knight - SPOILERS

[Umbran]

I don't think I buy that Ammits endgame is to kill everyone, we have already seen a person being judged and found "good" and allowed to live, so its not like Ammit thinks everyone needs to be wiped out.

Well, for now, anyway. But, you figure that Ammit will keep an even, steady keel... forever?

But, even so - unless Ammit can actually see the one and only future for each person, that means that innocents will be killed in the name of maybe. And that's not really acceptable.

And since they can be killed, logically it isn't their one and only future.

Ammit is lying. She gets hungry and plays eenie-meenie for a meal.

My current hunch is that Steven is the alter. He may have started as a legend, a cover for Mark, but something happened, right around when Mark left Layla.

I'm actually eager to see some more Steven scenes with Layla, and for him to start digging in on how long she has been with Mark, etc. I feel like that could lead down the road of "wait, am I the alter?"

So, note something - if the writers wanted Steven to realize that he's not "the original", Marc could just tell him. There is no need for a long trail of realization on Steven's part. But Marc rather pointedly hasn't done this.

My expectation is that their take on it is that while Marc still keeps the name, he's not really the original Marc Spector any more. That man was traumatized until he shattered. The one calling themselves Marc is also an alter, not the original. The "original" is no longer present as a single individual, so the distinction isn't relevant.

Marc was very worried about exposing Layla to danger. I suspect that the Steven alter was initially given control because knowing nothing about Layla, he couldn't expose her to Harrow and his search for the scarab.

That is plausible. An alternative explanation is that Marc does not think Steven could handle the stress of the realization (which considering how poorly Steven has reacted to some of the realization's so far....is not an unfair assessment).

Plenty going on in today's episode. Seems like there's at least one more persona, and we get lots more revelations about Khonshu and the other gods.

The whole white-eye-flash thing combined with Egyptian deities felt very Stargate. Not sure if they were going for that, or just a coincidence.
