I don't care one bit about this show

I'm not even caught up. I only watched episode 3 last night. I just don't care that much. The costume looks good, but nothing about this show interests me.

Somehow the character design / origin is just uninteresting. Feels like random.

The show allows the character(s) to be discovered, to be revealed, and it is a masterful performance by Oscar Issac.

For those who say that they are tired of Punchy-Punchy Superhero movies, or cookie cutter films, or predictable tropes..(well almost all heroes have a tragic, painful beginning).... this series is fantastic.

Also, Egyptology, the music choices, absolutely inform and influence the directions of this series and even deftly threads into the MCU.

I hope Marvel figures out a way to keep Oscar Issac and his Moon Knight character on board.

The hippo god is just too goofy.

[–] NorrinRad (5468) 3 years ago

That is interesting. I knew very little about Egyptology and or Middle Eastern myths. One would or could think about the potentially blasemphous representation or the sheer spectacle as an introduction.

Instead of taking me out of the moment I just leaned in and allowed the show and the character to take me along.

I found the character fascinating in a show about D.I.D. and superheroes.

Ok, I think you really really like this show.

[–] NorrinRad (5468) 3 years ago

Not exactly, I am just allowing myself to consume the show without expectations.

Didn't know I would get a Hippo with the deal!

His design is one of the few things I like about it.

[–] NorrinRad (5468) 3 years ago

The character designs of Marc, Steven, Moon Knight, and "Jacob" are also well done right down to the presentation of the physicality in how Oscar makes them all distinctly different.

I dropped it after the third episode too. I just couldn't get into the story. It's all over the place.

[–] kuatorises (7467) 3 years ago

I will probably finish it, but yeah. Same. I have zero interest in it. I like Ethan Hawke - and am glad he's in the MCU - and Isaac, but it's just so flat.

Same here, 3 episodes was too much. Only MCu series I didn't finish. Don't have time for Egyptology as well.
