night which means we're at the halfway
point of the series so far and i gotta
say this episode was great this was
definitely indiana jones meets the mummy
we get more backstory with mark and his
relationship with lila and what happened
to her dad we get this incredible
conversation amongst other gods and
there's another personality that's in
the mix and i'm so excited to break it

night well make sure to give this review
a thumbs up and also share the review
but more importantly in the comments
below we're talking full spoilers let me
know your thoughts in the comments pros
cons what did you think about the acting
the the backstory the reveals match
report was brought up in this episode
what do you all think about the gods and
the conversation we have in the chambers
and of course who do you all think is
this new personality and what other
easter eggs big theories and predictions
you all have for the weeks ahead let's
talk about that in the comments section
first impressions
i still think episode 2 is my favorite
but boy episode 3 was fantastic again
the production was great the
performances were great the fighting
sequels that we get later on in the
episode the little easter egg of
magipore but my scene that i'm going to
break down and i love so much the
conversation amongst those gods
that's some of the stuff that i was
really looking forward to in the show
and kind of seeing other things other
entities other gods within the mcu and i
love that conversation there but man
this episode is great i do have some
criticism that i'll mention here in this
breakdown but overall i was very
entertained by this episode but hey let
me know your first impressions in the
comments but let's break it all down
full spoilers ahead as we get into the
conversation here we open the episode
with lila who again she's still in love
with mark and i love this relationship i
still want to get more backstory and get
a little bit more of them as a you know
husband and wife and how they came to
meet how they came to be all that stuff
but we get some information here from
lila as she's getting her passport to
save her husband in cairo but he learned
this scene that she has some tragedies
she has a darker past that she lost her
father he was murdered and i'm just
gonna say it now i think it's safe to
assume even though arthur manipulates
people there was some truth in what he
said about what happened with mark and
his past and his history as we know from
episode two he was part of a mercenary
team who killed a bunch of men shot them
in the head on a digging site we learned
that her diet her dad that was murdered
was on the digging site i think we could
put two and two together now i don't
know if mark was a trigger man if he was
the one that like directly killed her
dad but i think it's safe to say mark
spector was involved in those murders
let me know what you all think about
that and speculation there but getting
into the conversation here we go to
arthur who at this point him and his
crew have found the location of the tomb
of ahmed but they also learned that mark
specter's on their trail which speaking
of mark specter we get to see oscar
isaac in the daylight which i love a
good fight in the daylight marvel in
their nighttime scenes sometimes get a
little bit frustrating but we see oscar
isaac put in a network we saw the video
a couple years ago him training for this
exact role well he can handle his own we
see mark taking out these men pretty
easily i will say uh and i like the the
fight and choreograph fight there but we
get a moment where he's about to do what
mark specter is known to do which is
kill people but steven steps in stops
him from doing so he takes control for
temporary moment and he takes you know
we see mark in a in a taxi he's like oh
i'm not going to the airport i need to
get this information to save the world
and we see those same men that he was
fighting with on the roof they're you
know running off and i would imagine
when stephen took over he was just
probably like hey mike can we just go
ahead and not fight anymore and just go
about our day all right toodles we see
mark unfortunately he's not about that
life he wants to get information that he
needs so he chases the men yet again but
this is an interesting point
we're at the point now where we see you
know mark wakes up and he kills these
men there's a bunch of blood and there's
a knife he just literally killed the men
there which i would have loved to have
seen that scene but we get an action
scene a little bit later but he's like
stephen did you do this and of course
steve is not a killer and i mentioned it
last week as far as comic book goes you
know mark specter is one personality we
have steven grant we have moon knight we
have mr knight and we have jake who's a
taxi driver which i imagine jake won't
be in this series and he's not a killer
by the way so it could have been jake if
they're introducing him but who is this
mystery person that just killed these
men they obviously have hand hand combat
who is this person let me know your
thoughts and theories in the comments is
it a new character that the mcu is
introducing as far as a new personality
is it a comic book you know personality
that i i'm not aware of from moon knight
let me know who is this new personality
that just killed all those men let's
talk about that in the comments but we
see at this point kanju is like
listen we need that information and we
and i love that mark spector he has a
line he doesn't cross the line of
killing kids but desperate times call
for desperate measure he wasn't
intending to kill his kid he takes the
advice of conju hangs him over the ledge
and unfortunately the kid is a believer
he doesn't want to give any information
on arthur so he kills himself and this
recon was like well
you know maybe that wasn't a good idea
was speaking of good ideas how are we
gonna stop arthur and find his location
well here comes a bad idea from kanju
and when i talk about production value
this was fantastic this is one of many
manipulations in this episode as he
manipulates the sky which was just
visually stunning and later on oh my
goodness that scene with him and then
playing this guy again production very
cinematic in this episode but getting
back to the conversation in him doing
this this invokes the other gods and
this is one of my favorite scenes of the
series so far we set up the scene here
as we have mark spector speaking on the
behalf of kanju amongst the other guys
in the chambers
oh my goodness that was so fantastic
because i'm a big you know i used to
play video games back in the day and it
reminded me this is completely different
but this reminded me so much of like god
of war when you see kratos talking to
the other guys having an intellectual
conversation amongst the gods about
humanity life and death and all that
stuff but this scene here was great and
i would love more scenes with the gods
but we have all the gods being conjured
up and their avatars speaking on their
behalves and this is obviously mark his
whole thing is i want to call arthur to
the stand to go on his trials because
he's trying to take out humanity so we
see the scene play out they call arthur
to the stand and arthur i do have to say
as far as like a little critique i found
a little bit convenient that they were
just like they just took his word for
what it was worth but i can see how the
show is kind of building up to exactly
what arthur said listen first off you
want me on trial and you're taking it
from a person that's been you know been
banned has been shunned from you other
guys he's a role guide in regards to
khan jews so that's a fault there that's
a tally for kanji in regards to negative
also he's unstable he's an abusive
person he's abused me and then not to
include just that but his avatar is
broken his avatar has he's unstable and
i love how again arthur he can
manipulate a situation get things get
people inside very easily and manipulate
the guys themselves but which by the way
these gods these egyptian gods have a
very similar mindset to the eternals
right in the celestials we stay away
from human affairs which i thought was
so you know interesting that they have
very similar mindsets she's like well
damn you guys and they also mentioned
the gods say you know kanji says you
abandoned humanity they abandoned us so
they have their reasons i guess you know
humanity we we aren't the greatest of
size right but neither you know there
i'm so intrigued and this is just a
deeper mcu conversation one of my
criticisms with marvel is the power
scaling like i don't think they've yet
to really establish the pecking order
and like in the comics it's very like
established who is the higher upper gods
and power scaling but in the mcu i'm
very interested to know okay right now
i'm safe to assume right now as far as
guys go celestials are number one like
the celestial space guys are number one
then you have like the odin's of the
world the thors of the world the low
keys of the world the hell of the world
and then you have the egyptian god so i
think right now as far as and let me
know if i'm missing any other gods in
the mcu but right now i think that's the
pecking order let me know if you are on
the same page with me in regards to the
you know the pecking order of the gods
of the mcu but getting back to it
arthur convinces them i'm not gonna take
over the world i'm not bringing back
anyone i'm just you know digging in the
sand that's not a crime right so he
convinces them and then again they say
kanju we're not gonna listen to you
arthur you're good to go enjoy your
digging in the sand but if you pull
something like that again kanju we're
gonna imprison you which we'll get to
that a little bit later but it's at this
point that we transitioned to the
conversation between mark spector and i
believe her name was yet still and she
was the avatar of hat thor she gives him
a location of a man that can help them
find the tomb which then we get and i
don't want to skip over this
performance by arthur or i should say
well ethan hawk was great in that moment
convincing the gods of his truth of his
lies but he you know he's truthful in
their eyes but oscar isaac when he is
taking on number one him being mark
specter the scene number two steven
being that scene number three kanju
being and possessing him listen
kudos to you
isaac you're doing a great job in this
role like he is really doing his damn
thing in this show and then also like i
said the production team
very cinematic very much beautiful
scenery as we kind of transition to this
scene between you know mark and his
current wife lila as they're talking
about their past and they got married
and and just seeing them in cairo in the
in the beautiful shots and also too just
from a production standpoint an mcu
standpoint being in cairo being an
egyptian i love that the show is giving
us new scenery going to new places that
we've really never traveled in msu and
expanding the world i love that aspect
of what we're getting from this show so
far and again the production is great
but again it's in this moment that we
hear mark say to lila i had control of
steven for a very long time but for some
reason most recently i don't have
control which he doesn't reveal why we
don't know why what was it that sparked
him was it this other personality was it
something else more you know
intellectual or something more in in the
mental health aspect something we have
to look forward to finding out and i'm
really looking forward to know how long
has mark spector been around how long
has stephen been around how long has all
these other characters like i'm very
intrigued to know
the breaking point and i hope we get
that flashback hopefully in the next
episode or two but getting back into it
we finally get and correct me from wrong
this might be the first easter egg in
the in the first three episodes that
have connected to the mcu in
particularly matchapoor we hear the beck
i believe his name was as he's you know
greedy and lila and he's like oh you
know anti-i'm just going to be happy to
see you after what you pulled in
matapore if you all remember that was
the city that was established in the
falcon winter soldier it's high for
people that sell black market items that
take a lot of you know just crime city
essentially right and we learned early
in this episode that lila has you know
history for taking things and you know
maybe selling them and keeping them for
herself but uh neither here nor there
again we get the matripore uh reference
which was cool again speaking to the
greater mcu already established and i
wonder
if she knows
the power broker aka sharon carter i
wonder if they have some connections in
that moment but uh let me know what you
all thought about that reference to
madrid poor and if we will get
a power broker in this series i hope not
because i'm not a fan of the power
broker you can watch my falcon winter
soldier reviews to get my thoughts on
that character but in comes uh rest in
pieces after here gaspardo yell who
portrays this antique collector by the
name of anton who from if i'm not
mistaken was also going to be a villain
by the name of midnight man now i
thought he died in this episode maybe
he's resurrected you know next week but
you know again rest in peace to the
actor i thought he was great from the
the scene that we got on hope we get
more of him later in the series but
again we established that him anton and
lila they have a history with matcha
poor together and this is uh the first
time that mark needs steven's help as he
needs help kind of translating this
information on where they can find the
tomb and we see mark doesn't want to
give up the body he's having this back
and forth conversation and again it's
just so interesting to see that mark
actually needs help for stephen which i
love that there but we see at this point
he tells lila that mark isn't telling
the truth because we have arthur who's
coming in at this point he's like hey
mark is lying he hasn't telling you
everything and you know your dad and all
that stuff so again i think it's safe to
say that mark had something to do with
the death of lila's dad again he might
not have been the trigger man but i
think he was on site when all that
happened but then arthur shows anton um
you know his powers and what he's
capable of and this is where we get mark
in the suit and this to me
easily the best action sequence of the
show so far as moon knight is not just
beating these men up
he's killing these fools left and right
he's breaking limbs doing this awesome
it was awesome it was incredibly awesome
i love this moment again it's getting
there again daredevil up here to me as
far as just like the best produced
marvel show period you know i still
think it's number one and as far as the
action goes moon night is is creeping up
there the action this moment here was
fantastic again it's not as bloody but
it's at least the most blood we've seen
in the mcu so we're making baby steps to
the more mature stuff i'm looking for in
the show but it's in this moment that
stephen comes in yet again he's trying
to stop mark from killing he comes into
his you know uh mr knight outfit he's
like hey guys let's just calm down
everyone calm f down and this is where
the power of kanju thank goodness they
have that power because he gets impaled
we're seeing him get stabbed we're
seeing moon knight stab left and right
and they're just literally i'm like this
this power that he has which he ain't
gonna have much longer after what
happens in this episode
this is great this is fantastic here but
again moon knight he's manages to escape
he kills all the men we see antoni comes
in he's about to kill lila but this is
where i said i think moon knight when he
took you know his moon and threw it at
him i thought he killed him but we don't
see a body we just see the horse and him
on the horse so i'm hoping we get more
of that character because again i
thought that he was going to be i
believe it was uh you know midnight man
so i i think that we will see more of
him later on let me know what you all
think about that in the comments but as
we get back to the conversation as you
know we see mark and lila having a
conversation about him lying he's like
no i don't know anything that he's
talking about again i think he had he
knows what happened to her dad again he
might have not killed him but i know he
was probably there at that moment but
this is where he's trying to again
separate himself from the relationship
he tells her yeah you don't know me you
never knew me and i'm just thinking to
myself
yeah i understand what you're doing now
mark but why even bring her into your
life
you're possessed by a guy you have other
personalities i'm just so intrigued i
really do hope that we get more
backstory of how they met and why he
chose to
again he they're not saying you can't
love anyone but knowing who he is i
wonder what made him marry her right and
we all know superheroes they can't have
love because they risk their loved ones
getting hurt but neither here nor there
i hope we get more of that backstory but
mark really needs stephen and he finally
gives steven the control he has his
hands on the wheel steven being the
intellectual the smart person the
situation knowing all the kyogrifics and
all that stuff he manages to come up
with this kind of device they get the
coordinates but he needs some extra help
in comes kanju to help them out
oh my goodness this scene was absolutely
fantastic i wish i could see it in the
theater it was that beautiful kanju yet
again manipulates the sky and seeing him
turning the knight back and getting
those coordinates such a beautiful the
score was hidden the visuals were hidden
it was so fantastic and this is where we
see kanju say hey when they imprison me
tell mark to save me which i don't know
if mark's gonna do that but if mark
wants to be able to take and you know
getting stabbed and getting impaled and
not dying he's gonna need kanji because
his armor that he provides him with
keeps him safe so i wonder
well i hope we get more of moon knight
because if he's in prison i wonder if he
could still conjure up the suit because
that's tied into kanju so i hope kanju
isn't imprisoned by the end of this show
like finale wise i hope that they figure
it out by next episode because i don't
think we're gonna get all the moon night
all the cool stuff because the powers
are gone by this moon god being gone so
hopefully mark i hope you you help him
out uh by next episode but we wrap up
the episode with again kanju being
imprisoned by the gods and this is where
arthur comes in and he has his moment he
tells him his final words in regards to
you you did this you made me to be this
person as he is in prison so
we'll see how long he's going to be in
prison because again correct me from
wrong for the comic book readers and
again this is a show they might not do
the exact thing from the comics but i
would assume
with kanju now off the table that means
no more of the
powers of the gods from the moon god i
don't know if that affects him being
able to conjure up the moonlight suit
the mr knight who's that other
personality uh in this situation but i
don't know if moon knight is going to be
able to be as powerful without kanju
providing him with the armor providing
him with the power so we'll see what
happens there again midnight moon guy is
he going to come back later in the show
but more importantly lila dad did mark
spectre have anything to do with that
and again matcha poor first big easter
egg to my knowledge were there more
easter eggs that you all found in this
episode and of course what we hope to
see in the weeks ahead again i hope
they're able to help uh kanju get out of
this imprisonment i hope they're able to
kind of get more into the conversation
with other guys getting on the table and
again the greater mcu
does anybody else know what's going on
right now in the mcu in regards to again
i don't want the cameos but i just
wonder how this affects the greater mcu
in regards to
once they get that tomb
it's heaven on earth aka hell on earth
so i wonder if they're gonna need any
help with kandra being off the table
will mark spector being a missionary
does he know anyone that can help him i
don't know there's some other people
that might know a thing or two about
being a missionary in the mcu and some
people he might know i don't know he
might know a black knight a blade
potentially uh you know a daredevil call
or two a punisher or maybe even a
writer by the name of ghost so i don't
know we'll see if we're gonna have some
help by mark spector in a future episode
but let me know what you all thought
