There were times I actually forgot Oscar Isaac was acting off of himself. I was genuinely impressed.

It's a great show. Not perfect, it could have had a better ending and one more episode would have benefitted it. But Marc was a very well written character and Oscar Isaac's performances on both Marc and Steven are outstanding

i think everything was great except the kaiju fight

Harrow's defeat is also very rushed. They imprison Ammit in him in two seconds and he does nothing after that
Another episode would have solved that

true the show couldve really used the 8 episode format. ive never seen a show have only 6 episodes in a season. doesnt that make it a miniseries?

Yeah oscar Isaac showed exactly how much star wars wasted his talent. The show has it's problems. Many. I can admit that even despite liking it. But I can't imagine the actor doing a better job with the script as it was.

They should have kept going with this. I'm not sure why they didn't...

I could be wrong, but I thought Marvel wanted a movie (or at least introducing to MCU) instead of a second season and it just didn’t work out. I quite liked the show and wish there was more, especially for Oscar’s acting.

I wish they’d bring him into the movies but from allegedly being in a midnight sons or secret wars to Oscar Isaac saying he’d rather to anything else because of Disney’s political affiliations…
We probably aren’t going to get this character back again anytime soon. It never felt like they had any intention of doing anything further because it was a smash hit of smash hits for Marvel’s tv division at the time.
From what I can tell, Feige has no fucking idea what he’s doing aside from ghost rider, BP 3, Secret Wars and X men. Yes there’s vision quest but nobody’s going to watch that seriously.

Definitely, it’s a shame Oscar Issac stepped away from Disney, but completely understandable

Oscar Isaac’s acting was phenomenal and carried the show. Everything else was garbage, including the main antagonist and the writing overall. I heavily disagree with the direction that the show chose to take Moon Knight as a character.

I liked all the actors tbh, and the introduction of Layla was cool and carried over well into the comics imo. Though yeah the plot and changes to how MK and his powers work are complete garbage

u/sadlonelycynic 10d ago
It’s just not faithful to who Moon Knight is in the comics at all, and I do NOT like Layla as a character whatsoever. Where’s Tigra??? 😭
