Ok so the Moon Knight finale is right around the corner and with next week being a bloody
mental marvel one due to the multiverse of madness, I thought I'd drop our fan theories
today for what we think could end up happening.
Though lots of the show has been based on the Jeff Lemiere run, they've taken things
into brand new territories with the apparent death of Steven Grant which is the first thing
that I wanna talk about.
Now in the comics they have had moments like this where one side of him has passed away
but like my ex when she sees my youtube views, the guy always comes back.
Don't let the door hit you on the way back chump.
-
Now when we look at the condition DID we have to very much view it how it's seen clinically.
Though it's easy to refer to Steven as being someone that isn't real, for all intents and
purposes he is and it goes way beyond what many typically tend to class the condition
as.
Steven is as real as you and I but he just happens to inhabit the same body as Marc.
Thus his death could be final, however it could also be something that they can retcon
because he exists in the same brain as Marc.
Now he was left behind in the field whilst Marc was transported to the field of reeds.
In ancient Egypt this was seen as a paradise in which your soul stayed in for Eternity
and you were basically just one of just one of my best mates who all think I'm a laugh.
Don't they, don't they.
Now to the best of my knowledge Marc has never been in this in the comics so we don't really
know how he's gonna get out of it either.
However in the source material he did exist in a realm called the othervoid and he managed
to escape this by uniting his personalities.
Thus it could be through Jake Lockley who comes in and he might manage to take him out.
They'll either work side by side or the Gods of the Afterlife might realise that his heart
wasn't weighed.
From the way the show is depicting him he's a pretty bad dude so they'd probably take
him out of there faster than I took my Mum off facebook when she started posting bikini
pics.
Anyway that might not happen but I do think that Jake is definitely gonna show up in the
next episode.
He's pretty much become the Mephisto of the series so far with us grabbing onto every
single clue that there's someone else in the body.
There was of course the date that was organised by someone in episode 1.
There was also the killer in episode 3 and of course the accent change up by Marc.
Next we had the sarcophagus at the end of four and there are potentially other accent
changes in the latest entry.
Huge shoutout to 0_0 which...makes a little smiley face when you write it out, who pointed
out on our last video that Jake's accent can also be heard early on in the episode.
-
Now he's still an unknown but I do think that he will be in episode 6.
Though we didn't get Mephisto right, we got Agatha, He Who Remains, Kang and a couple
extra ones I'm forgetting because it is actually more rare than not that Marvel tease stuff
and then don't pay it off.
I'm not getting Ralph Bohner vibes from these tidbits but I am getting a bohner over those
Biki...dear me I can't say that.
Moving on.
Now though I've been talking about this field of Reeds stuff I actually think he'll just
come out for a second and that Harrow will basically have Marc against the ropes at some
point in the final showdown.
Marc has difficulty killing and though he's done it before, he clearly regrets every death
as he not only remembers them but the bodies weigh heavily on his soul.
I'd love to see it if Harrow was raving and ranting about how weak he was and how he couldn't
kill him and then we just got a switch in the persona, seen Jake come out and finally
kill the character.
Lots of WTF moments around that and it would be a pretty big shock to just drop it in the
episode like that.
Now another possibility for how Marc gets out of the field of reeds will be through
Layla and Khonshu.
Tawret was asked in the episode to relay a message to Layla and she's probably gonna
be going to get Khonshu.
From the promos on the series we know that Harrow ends up shooting purple light out of
the top of the pyramid of Gisa.
This is where Khonshu was kept and with Layla being there after he shot Marc, I think that
they'll have captured her and taken them with the group.
So she is probably there with them too which gives her the perfect opportunity to grab
the god and make a break for it.
Khonshu in the comics has resurrected Marc at several points and everytime the character
has died he's brought him back to life.
We also know that the suit regenerates him as it's been mentioned in the show and it's
the reason why Marc was revived at the temple in episode 5.
So the pair could travel back to Alexander and then place the suit on his corpse which
would bring him back to life and pull Marc and potentially Steven out of the field of
Reeds.
We know from the trailers that he'll also be fighting Harrow so I can see that being
the next step before your boy wins.
If you agree baby hit that thumbs up button and I'll not mention the dislikes as I want
them sweet sweet likes.
Also make sure you subscribe so you dont miss our breakdown of the finale which will be
dropping on Wednesday.
Shabow.
Now though Isaac hasn't confirmed he's coming back and he's denied returning to the role,
I think he will cos ey, it's such a cool superhero and yeah, the guy is great in it.
So message him on every social media platform every hour of the day until he agrees to our
demands.
Going forward I think we have a lot of potential with the character and we could either get
a Midnight Suns tease or potentially more nods towards Raoul Bushman.
Now the Sons are basically a supergroup of supes that tackle supernatural forces and
with us getting Blade and Black Night, it makes sense that the team is coming.
They're definitely what I can see Marvel doing at some point and it would make for a great
Disney Plus show to see them all come out the woodwork throughout the next couple of
years.
As for Bushman, we finally got a namedrop for the character in episode 5 and the pair
have had lots of run ins over Moon Knights more than 40 year history.
I was actually surprised that he wasn't announced as the villain for the first season but Mohammed
Diab said he wanted to avoid including him in the show because of how similar that he
is to Kilmonger.
However come a second season with this build up I think it would be great to get him and
he's definitely one of the best moon knight villains there is.
He of course killed Laylas father so there's a lot of things that they can do with the
pair teaming up to take out the guy that both brought them so much misery.
Now there is also the possibility that we'll see Ro-Ro return if we go off the comics.
In the source material, Randall Spector ended up joining the CIA much like Marc but he became
a villain known as Hatchet man.
The pair have had several showdowns and it would add so much to it to see him return.
This would tie further into Marc's trauma and be such a great way to have the character
confront the darkest moment of his life.
I swear that wasn't a Khonshu pun.
We of course never saw his body and beyond that I think we might get the reveal in the
sixth episode that Khonshu killed him.
There was the birds skeleton on the ground which looked a lot like an omen that he might
have been involved.
In the comics it was revealed that Khonshu actually had his beady little eyes on Marc
ever since he was aboy and that he caused a lot of his misery to make him vulnerable.
Khonshu purposely fractured his mind in an attempt to take over his body and that would
be such a great twist in the finale.
Now I know you guys keep telling me off yeah, but I even have a feeling that they will end
the series ambiguously and that you could very muich walk away from it arguing that
it's all in Marc's head.
I don't think they'd ever out and out confirm it but if you've seen our video on all the
clues that tease to the asylum then youll know theres a lot of groundwork in the show
building towards the reveal in episode 4.
Episode 5 made things even more difficult and you could argue that the entire thing
was just an exercise in Harrows office that the pair were going through after being sedated.
There are so many clues to it from episode 2 even down to the little waterfall ornament
all the way up to the pamplet and how Harrow walks Steven through the compound.
There's also his brother drawing a one finned goldfish which Steven later ends up having
in his home.
You would kinda think that it would be the other way around and that the goldfish would
come first because how many one finned ones can there be?
Even the shop owner said how difficult they were to get.
Now Ryan Arey at Screen Crush did point out that Harrows Diploma in his office wasn't
signed because Marc's mind hadn't filled in this detail.
It's a bloody good observation, but I won't stand for him having one over me so if it's
shown to completely all be in his mind then I'm pulling an Elon, buying Youtube and deleting
his channel.
I think we will get something like Inception where theres an object in one of the final
shots that teases towards it still being in the hospital and that the internet will continue
arguing over what's real and what isn't
Lastly is Layla who's come out of this as one of the standout characters.
It is possible that they are setting Layla up to become the Scarlett Scarab and Throughout
the series she's been referred to as one at several points due to the nickname her dad
gave her as a child.
-
Beyond this though her full name is Layla Abdullah El-Faouly and the Scarlett Scarab
in the comics is called Abdul Faoul.
In the hospital she also has a fimble on her finger which when we zoom in on has a little
scarlett scarab on it.
In the comics he fought against Captain America and co and it is possible that Layla might
even end up taking up the mantle come the end of the show.
Now we of course have other disney series to kinda judge this off and it might not fully
happen because of what Disney and Marvel have done before.
Both Eli Bradley and Joaquin Torres were teased as being potential future heroes in Falcon
and The Winter Soldier and though we got some nods towards this they never fully materialised.
Therefore they might just do the same thing with Layla and have it so that we end with
them setting the groundwork for her to become the scarab but they never out and out say
it.
Anyway that's my main theories for next time and I hope I keep up the habit of a lifetime
and get 90% of them wrong.
