The fifth episode of “Moon Knight” has a lot to accomplish in the space of an hour. “Asylum” follows an example set by “WandaVision”: The penultimate chapter of a Marvel miniseries exploring a superhero’s past, finding them at their lowest, most vulnerable point. It’s a bit of delayed origin story with high stakes for the hero understanding and overcoming their limitations. But “Moon Knight” tells a trauma origin story thrice over: one for haunted mercenary Marc Spector (Oscar Isaac), another for addled museum worker Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac), and yet another for the masked-and-hooded crime fighter Moon Knight (still Oscar Isaac).
The show is doing all of this while drawing on Jeff Lemire’s “Lunatic” run from the “Moon Knight” comic, using a psych ward as the staging ground for visionsthat include Marc/Steven’s troubled childhood and a fight with vengeful sand spirits aboard the deck...

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for Moon Knight Episode 6.] After last week’s trippy, sad stroll through Marc’s (Oscar Isaac) life, Moon Knight’s final episode returns things to the superhero status quo. We get fights aplenty, as well as a meaningful new outfit for a certain character… and by the time the end credits conclude, we realize there’s more to Marc than even Khonshu (voiced by F. Murray Abraham) knew. Arthur (Ethan Hawke) gets the idol and makes it to the chamber of the gods, where he kills all of their avatars and releases Ammit (voiced by Saba Mubarak). Even though his scales don’t balance, she still wants him to be her servant. Meanwhile Layla (May Calamawy), who snuck into the chamber with Arthur’s people, releases Khonshu. They form an ...

Warning: The following review contains major spoilers from the season one finale of Moon Knight “Episode 6” and also Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
There’s a moment in the season one finale of Disney+/Marvel’s Moon Knight when the good guy God Khonshu (F. Murray Abraham) tells the bad-girl god Ammit (Sofa Danu) in the midst of their battle, “I only punish those who have chosen evil!”
Clearly Khonshu forgot to mention the innocent Disney+ viewers who’ve been lost in what is arguably been Marvel’s most confusing series to date.
In this great multiverse thread that Marvel has set up between last year’s movies like Spider-Man: No Way Home and TV series WandaVision and Loki, the studio has moved beyond those measured, pristine orchestral movements to utter, Byzantine chaos in regards to storytelling. Despite the lush production value of Moon Knight, its exotic locales,...

Well, here we are. At the end of the endless sea of sand. “Moon Knight” has reached its season finale (more on that in a minute) and it went out in style, with a lot of calamitous spectacles and a smattering of fun character moments. The Marvel Studios shows on Disney+ have had an awkward relationship with their finales, sometimes erring on too showy (“WandaVision”) or too talky (“Loki”).
With “Moon Knight” (like “Hawkeye” before it), they seemed to find the right balance, with Marc Spector/Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac) attempting to return from the afterlife to thwart Arthur Harrow’s (Ethan Hawke) insidious plot and also come to terms with unruly tangle of his own psychology. “Moon Knight” is nothing if not an extended, hieroglyphics-etched metaphor for owning your shit. And the finale owned.
Let’s get into it, shall we?
Major spoilers follow for episode 6 of “Moon Knight.

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for Moon Knight episode 5, “Asylum.”] Going into Episode 5, Moon Knight had left plenty of questions unanswered. Was Marc (Oscar Isaac) really dead? What on Earth was that talking hippo? What’s going to happen with Layla (May Calamawy) and Arthur (Ethan Hawke)? Will the show incorporate Moon Knight’s third alter, Jake Lockley? In a move similar to WandaVision’s “Previously On,” “Asylum” takes a detour to give viewers some answers. It serves as a backstory episode for Marc framed by exploring rooms in an asylum, as well as a near-complete pause in the larger “Ammit and Arthur vs. Khonshu and Marc and Steven and Layla” story. From Taweret (voiced by Antonia Salib), the goddess of women and children — and the talking hippo from last episode — Marc and Steven learn that they’re dead and in the Egyptian underworld, awaiting judgment. On a boat, she rips out their hearts (!) and places...

This week on Disney+’s Moon Knight, Steven and Marc went on both a literal and psychological journey, as Taweret (the talking hippo!) forced them to confront the dark truth of Steven’s origin. And along the way, it seems we briefly met a second alter…?
Following a brief snippet of a watery cave, a boy’s cry and a woman growling, “It’s all your fault!,” we find ourselves in a different version of last week’s asylum, where Dr. Harrow is trying to explain to Marc that he did not “shoot” him, but instead the patient’s mind...

"Moon Knight" episode four is a wild ride from start to finish. The Marvel series for Disney+ stars Oscar Isaac as Marc Spector, a man with dissociative identity disorder who also happens to be the titular hero. He has at least one other personality that the audience knows about, Steven Grant. But in episode four, what's real and what's not becomes even more complicated.
At the start of the episode, the Egyptian god Khonshu (F. Murray Abraham) is trapped by the other gods in a statue. That's important, because he's Moon Knight's sponsor, who helps protect him via a magical healing suit. Now Marc (and Steven) are without this supernatural protection and in some major trouble.
Together with Layla (May Calamawy), Marc finds a tomb they believe will lead them to Ammit, the Egyptian goddess that Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke) is trying to free in order to bring around the end of the world.

We know you came here to discuss the final moments of Moon Knight Episode 4, which co-director Justin Benson calls a “massive turning point in the story,” but there are some important events we need to work through before we arrive at that truly bonkers conclusion.
