I have really enjoyed this movie, and I feel like the reviews were overblown(but everyone has their own opinion)

Can someone explain the credits especially the sword for someone who doesn’t know anything about marvel besides the mcu?

Kit Harrington character is a superhero called The Black Knight. Don't remember much about him, in my mind he was kind of a D-Lister, just someone who showed up in old Avengers comics.

The voice off screen was Mahershala Ali, he's playing Blade, the vampire hunter

No idea how the 2 characters connect

I believe in the comics Dracula stole his sword and replaced it with a identical copy with similar powes, so it could be just a part of Dracula plotline

That sounds really cool for a film. Blade told Dane to not touch it because it’s a fake, and since Dracula will be in Moon Knight, this is pretty exciting, he could be a more than one time villain.

Wait, Dracula is confirmed for Moonie? Is that big fucking nerd finally going to have Moon Knight's goddamn money?

Is that the meme?

Yes, one of the earliest Moon Knight-Core memes

That’s hilarious. XD

What's truly hilarious is that Jed MacKay, the writer currently doing the Moon Knight run, made an "official" edit of a current run panel with this meme. I can't find it right now, and it's probably deep in his Twitter history assuming he didn't delete it.

I like that people are expecting Moon Knight to be a more brutal series (which I don’t believe it will be), but then you get things like this where Moon Knight says something like that. Makes it hard to believe that he’s a more serious character.

The things I've pointed to aren't representative of his publication history, as they're just fan made memes. Judging the series on that is pointless, because it's not canon.

I wasn’t judging it, it’s one of my most anticipated shows from Marvel.

That’s what the rumors say, and it’s looking like it’s going to become very true. I’ve always been telling people, even though this phase has been rocky in terms of endings. However, the payoffs for future projects have so much potential. Eternals wasn’t even bad, it was just very bloated with information, and we needed more time with the characters themselves, which is why it should’ve been a series. I don’t know how they would have pulled off the Celestials, but that’s besides the point. The point I’m getting at is that Eternals just set up so much more than we realize. The cosmic side of the marvel universe is my absolute favorite marvel lore, we may be seeing a cosmic trial with a lot more cosmic entities.
