everything we're doing a giveaway for disney plus memberships too all you have to do to enter is be
a subscriber and just leave your favorite moment from the episode on the video and careful for
spoilers if you have not seen moon knight episode 2 yet we'll just start at the beginning and talk
about wtf moments and easter eggs as we go along starting with the episode title it was called
summon the suit which is a reference to layla yelling at him in stephen grant form to summon
the moon knight costume after she starts to learn what's going on with steven grant not totally
believing what's going on yet she'll eventually learn more about the multiple personalities soon
and it's a funny reference to him being in steven grant form when he actually makes the
change summoning the suit kind of unconsciously as he falls out the window but it winds up being the
mr night suit from the comics with the actual suit and tie because he's still in steven grant form
and the way they explain it on the tv show the way they're doing this is that they're saying that the
form that the suit takes is actually based on the way you think so when he's in full traditional
moon knight form he's in marc spector form but because steven grant's mind works so differently
when he summons a suit it's based on what stephen grant is thinking his suit looks like
the difference in the comics is that when he takes the mr knight persona he's still in marc spector
form he's still moon knight but it's when he's working with the police being the world's greatest
detective form of moon knight typically in the comics when he's in mr night form wearing the
suit and someone attacks him or gets into a big fight he would just switch back into the normal
moon knight costume but the way they doing on the tv show he still has access to moon knight's
powers and his weapons like he pulls the poles out of his back when he's in steven grant form not
totally sure what's going on the actual opening scene is then picking up right after the events
of him beating up the jackals in marc spector moon knight form inside his apartment in stephen grant
form after another time jump has gone by just like we've seen in the previous episode although this
time because he remembers everything that happened he knows about marc spector now inside his head
he tries to contact him again in the mirror when the security guard calls him scotty by a different
name that's meant to be another reference to all the different identities in the comics none of
them was named scotty but it's just a reference to him not understanding who he's speaking to at any
given moment which is something very common in the comics like are you talking to steven grant
are you talking to marc spector who knows the way they explain it later too is that when he's
running from the jackal the reason why the camera glitches and you can't see the jackal is because
normal people who aren't avatars of gods of this pantheon the enid can't see the creations that
come from their pocket dimension like they show layla watching the jackal fight but it looks
like it's invisible to her most of you probably understand the reason why there's no security cam
footage of him in moon knight marc spector form wearing the costume is because it's really really
illegal to videotape people inside the bathrooms for very obvious reasons when he's talking to the
security chief after the fact about how they're not going to file charges there's all kinds of
references to his different personalities he's sitting between two different lamps a reference
to both marc spector and steven grant the security chief also reveals that he's probably part of this
cult that arthur harrow leads that's what the pamphlet is about that he slides out to him
just kind of implying that the security guard all these other regular members of society are part
of this in some way they've kind of infiltrated all aspects of life kind of like a hail hydra
type of twist like we are amongst you all over the place and you don't realize it they also reference
this when the police come to investigate him too for the quote-unquote missing item that he stole
the security chief also tries to get the scarab back from him although he's kind of nice in the
way that he talks about it is still a little bit sinister like are you sure he didn't steal
anything from the museum talking about the scarab but then it's revealed marc spector hit it back
in his locker so obviously he doesn't have it on him here then causing the security chief to point
to his name tags just saying like okay leave that here just another reference to him embracing the
marc spector personality more during this episode even though they are still kind of fighting each
other inside his head as he leaves it shows marc spector staring back at him in the reflection on
the desk pretty much any time he passes by any kind of reflective surface in the episode you
always see one of the different personalities it's not really until the end of the episode though
that they switched things up and it's marc spector in the body speaking to stephen grant inside the
reflection he talks to that same street performer again dressed in gold and he actually looks at
him when he tries to hug him so i'm keep wondering if this character is going to turn into something
bigger in later episodes he eventually finds marc spector's storage locker the facility belongs to
when he talks to the security guard he says that it's number 43 that's a reference to werewolf by
night number 43 which was the last issue of the werewolf by night comic who's supposed to have
some sort of appearance at the end of this series setting up his big halloween special later this
year the moon knight character debuted for the first time in a werewolf by night story i didn't
try scanning the qr code on the locker here with my phone so if anyone was able to actually get any
new easter eggs from this qr code post them in the comments below sometimes marvel will
do things like that just like add little qr easter eggs in the background we've seen most
of the footage in the storage locker and all the trailers so far it's all of marc spector's stuff
as a mercenary all of his weapons his spare gear his spare passports the whole idea is that before
he died and became conscious avatar he had been a mercenary when he pulls out the united states
passport though marc spector's birthday on it is the exact same day as oscar isaac's birthday in
real life but the year 1987 is a reference to the year that marvel put moon knight on the west coast
avengers team it's also meant to be a reference to oscar isaac's moon knight character crossing over
with avengers 5 in the next avengers team also a lot of the characters they've been introducing
in marvel phase 4 like the brand new ones like shengshi for instance are coming from the west
coast and a lot of the marvel phase 4 series are referencing west coast avengers easter eggs also
very important detail here too zoom in enhanced united states passports get renewed every 10 years
this is due for renewal december 2028 meaning that he got this one after the snap in avengers
infinity war meaning that marc spector survived the snap for those of you that are wondering
steven grant starts pawing through all of his stuff learning about the missions to egypt
some of the recent history in his life the scarab beetle the reason why it animates and flies around
is because it's meant to work like a supernatural god-tier compass leading them to amit's physical
remains so the whole idea is that arthur harrow wants to bring her physically into the mcu she's
currently trapped in this other dimension with khanshu and the rest of his pantheon they're not
really able to physically change and interact with the mcu that much until they physically enter it
themselves and the way that arthur harrow plans to do that to bring her into the mcu again is
to find her physical remains like the bones of her physical body and then bring her back through some
ceremony using those the thing is is you could actually do the exact same thing with khonshu
you could physically bring kancho into the mcu if you were able to find his bones then marc spector
shows up and we get to see the personalities arguing with each other which is a big thing from
the comics this happens all the time in the comics and it happens many times throughout the episode
too with both of them yelling at each other one of the big arcs during the series is them reconciling
with each other and recognizing that each of them need each of the personalities to survive
he also makes a joke about marc spector being super handsome even though they are literally
the same person marc spector also talks about moon knight in the god khonshu out loud for the
first time of course it takes steven grant seeing khonshu himself to start believing it but he still
doesn't totally believe until later in the episode when he actually sees the suit manifest around him
when he says they protect the vulnerable and deliver conscious justice to those who hurt them
it's a reference to him being called the fist of khonshu in the comics which arthur harrow mentions
later in the episode after he reveals that he used to be khonshu's previous avatar before marc
spector he keeps talking about the vengeance of khonshu the fist of khonshu it's a reference to
khonshu being the mcu god of vengeance in addition to him being the egyptian god of the moon after
khonshu tries to show up and tell him what's what he runs away again this time running straight into
layla who's trying to find his cell phone signal you do see stuff start to move around when kancho
gets really pissed and they kind of clarify this later in the episode is another example of his
limited ability to interact with the physical mcu while he's trapped in some other dimension the
whole idea with layla as they explain is that she doesn't really know anything about what's going
on with steven grant yet but she did know that he died and became moon knight the avatar of khonshu
because she keeps telling him through the episode to summon the suit so to speak
when they referenced him disappearing two months ago and sending her divorce papers trying to keep
her safe by pushing her away it sounds like what happened is they got into a fight with
arthur harrow's men and that's how he died but then because of what kanchi was doing to his
mind trying to take over his body physically it caused him to lose control between the different
personalities and that's why the stephen grant persona was able to get out but also on the side
marc spector has been trying to not contact layla and hide from her just to protect her from khonshu
because as we learn if something happens to marc spector he dies a second time or he decides to
sever his deal with khonshu like arthur harrow did being his former avatar then khonshu has already
selected layla as his next potential avatar layla is a brand new character that they created for the
series but she's meant to be a combination of a couple of characters from classic moon knight's
backstory in the series she's already explained to be marc spector's wife like she's been his wife
for a while now i believe she's meant to be just a combination of the marlene love interest character
and her father who's an archaeologist that's why when she's talking to steven grant she understands
the book's egyptian hieroglyphics in the comics marc spector wound up dying protecting marlene
and her father from the mercenary bushmen trying to pilfer the ruins of conscious tomb as he lay
dead at the feet of the statue khonshu then used that opportunity to make him his avatar later in
the comics they also explained that khonshu had been targeting marc spector his entire life and
just kind of waiting for the right opportunity they referenced that later in the episode too
when they talk about his history of mental health in how he always had this alternate personality
that he kept buried within him but now it's a problem because of what happened with khonshu
and they'll probably say that he initially died the first time becoming conscious avatar when he
was fighting arthur harrow's men she yells about his bad english accent which is just a reference
to the audience yelling it oscarized its bad english accent remember it's meant to be fake
like it's a creation of his mind as steven goes back and forth with layla she tries to figure out
what's going on marc spector keeps yelling at him in all the different reflections around the room
about not telling her what's going on to protect her he also tells her that this is his mother's
flat the person that he keeps calling who seemed like she was fake but then layla says oh you made
up with your mother so apparently marc spector had problems with his real-life mother but i think
part of the idea is that the number that stephen keeps calling is actually something that marc
spector set up so all the messages might have been actually going to marc spector instead
the whole thing with the french poem that he believes is his favorite but is actually layla's
favorite is probably just his memories as marc spector bleeding into steven grant's memories
and steven grant just falsely believing that it was his favorite no no no it was my favorite
and i think part of the idea with her talking about all this egyptian history is that there are
things that stephen grant will have learned that marc spector doesn't know and that'll be part of
the reason why they keep both of the personalities around like why wouldn't you just try to get rid
of the other one in the comics that's because each has their own specific skills and together they
form a much more capable superhero than he would otherwise be just using one of the personalities
when the police who are working for arthur harrow come to investigate him to take the scarab back
it shows his apartment number number 502 that's a reference to avengers 502 which was during the
avengers disassembled air in the comics and some of the things that were happening in the comics
are actually happening in the mcu right now as we speak during the events of doctor strange too like
during a lot of the trailer videos you see scarlet witch just going completely off the rails during
that avengers disassembled era doctor strange was going around believing that something bad had
happened to magic and bad things were at play that was a reference to what scarlet witch was doing
going off the rails during that era which she is now doing inside the mcu marvel phase 4 movies
i also just did a video about why doctor strange is allowing all this crazy stuff with the mcu gods
to take place just because there's so much going on in the mcu right now so i'll link that below
in the description because it's kind of his job to protect this reality from those kinds of threats
all the backstory that these police pull up on him is a reference to his comic book backstory
he was a mercenary initially in the comics the dig site was where the statue of khonshu was
the avatar of khonshu where he made the deal it sounds like what happened is is the arthur
harrow's men killed all these archaeologists that were at the dig site where he wound up
dying becoming the avatar of khonshu but they just blamed all the des on marc spector after the fact
you then see their tattoos of the scales confirming that they're part of this cult that
arthur harrow leads for amid they take him to an area of london that their group controls it's just
another very hail hydra type of moment like all types of people from society belong to our group
were secretly among you and you don't realize it arthur harrow then learns the truth about
what's going on with his multiple personalities and explains to him the truth of the matter the
reason why all these weird things are happening to you the reason why you can hear khonshu and
why i know all about him all of his secrets but i can't hear him or see him anymore is because
i arthur harrow used to be his avatar he doesn't literally explain it but he kind of implies why
he decided to stop being khonshu's avatar and become the first avatar of ammit all the stuff
that he tells steven grant about khonshu being this petulant god acting like a child being
banished by the other gods being a liar never letting his body go just having one more mission
at all times like is always going to be one more mission that's all true khonshu is not a nice
god issues of the gods that khonshu is fighting against during this ammit for example are way
worse so it's very much a devil you know kind of situation like okay khonshu is bad but it gives
me all these powers and i can be a good superhero with them and defeat all these even worse people
it's kind of like becoming ghost writer in the mcu and why he works so well on this midnight
suns type of team this darker mcu supernatural team up because most of their patron saints or
where they get their powers from are very shady sources but they try to use those powers for good
when he references khonshu picking him as his avatar because his mind was broken or easy to
break that's another call back to his origin in the comics which they referenced later in the
episode too like i always kept a barrier between us but now because of khonshu controlling our
body that barrier has weakened and that's why he keeps switching so much between different
personalities when he says that stephen doesn't have to do everything that khonshu asks him to
that's another reference to the comics where a lot of times marc spector will have to fight khonshu
when he asks him to do shady things that put him at odds with the other avengers characters
when he references them learning other languages and starts speaking mandarin chinese i think
that's meant to be another slight connection to what happened during the shangshi movie
with those characters when arthur harrow starts ragging more on khonshu calling him this really
petulant god and getting banished by the other gods i also think a good example to make would
be like early thor in the mcu like thor god of thunder is one of the lesser gods in the mcu
but for a while odin thought that he was really irresponsible and banished him to earth the same
kind of thing has happened between khonshu and the other gods that are part of his pantheon
eventually khonshu will probably help moon knight defeat amit and the other gods will re-accept him
back into their fold you get a little bit of a tutorial between the differences of khonshu and
amit like they're both gods of vengeance in the mcu but ammit wants to go full minority report
killing everyone who will do evil and they turn into this whole big thing about wow you support
a group where people love killing children you want to go around killing a bunch of children
just to remind you how much worse their group is than what khonshu might do i've already explained
his plan to bring amit physically into the mcu from this other dimension like he's gonna find her
remains using that god tier compass the scarab perform a ceremony and then sort of reinfuse
her earthly remains with her spirit to make a star wars reference is sort of like a reverse
force ghost situation if you could somehow stuff a force ghost back into the bones of the former jedi
master that they used to be layla shows up to help him and we actually get to see what it looks like
when arthur harrow is using the artifacts of ammit as her avatar to bring the jackals into this world
eventually enough people start yelling in his ear that stephen grant gets pushed out the window
unconsciously winds up changing into the suit but like i explained the reason why it becomes
the mr knight version of the suit is because he's still on steven grant form and the way they're
explaining in the mcu is a little bit different from the comics and they're just saying that it's
because the way stephen grant's mine thinks this is what a suit is supposed to look like as opposed
to marc spector who knows what the actual moon knight costume is supposed to look like
but for the most part they both have access to weapons they both have the exact same powers
they have this funny moment where he talks to himself as marc spector like what are we wearing
we look like colonel sanders making a kentucky fried chicken reference i've already explained
why the other regular characters from the mcu can't see these creations of the gods why they
look invisible when he gets pushed up against the bus you see a big grc ad which is a reference to
falcon and winter soldier and other current stuff during marvel phase four the grc is the global
repatriation committee and they're sort of like the sinister group in the mcu that's formed by
all the world governments after the blip to send all the people who weren't snapped back to the
countries that they originally came from this is also the second time that he's consciously
switched between different personalities giving marc spector control of the body it's just more
of the show deepening the connection between the different personalities in the comics this is a
very common thing with the different personalities actually working with each other they also explain
what happens to things that come from this pocket dimension from the gods when he kills something
from their reality it just fades into nothingness they explained the scare fell off of him during
the fight arthur harrow got it the reason why this is meant to be super creepy scene is because he
isn't killing the homeless man because he hates homeless people he's like okay it's totally fine
that you're homeless he winds up sucking his soul because apparently the person did something bad
in his past or he will do something bad in most of this last part of the episode it's just clarifying
some of the details and what's been going on in his life this whole time where the stephen grant
persona came from and why marc spector has been doing things this way since becoming moon knight
when he says he's been quote unquote doing this for a long time it's more of a reference to his
multiple personalities having secretly been a thing for most of his life and previously he just
been keeping them completely separate with this big mental barrier that he directed when he says
the barrier was weakened when he lost control of his body and someone else started taking
control of it he's talking about khonshu himself because khonshu then literally shows up and says
whose body do you think this is it's my body he reiterates that if marc spector dies or something
happens to him or they end their agreement he will go after layla as his next avatar and he's trying
to do everything he can to protect layla like i said this is the first time we've also seen marc
spector being the one in the real world talking to steven grant in his head but using the reflection
of the mirror which is why he stomps on it later because he just wants to get him to go away
then at the end of the episode there's another time jump as he wakes up in egypt like the show
is going back to egypt because arthur harrow is looking for ammit's remains which would be in
egypt and he has the scarab but during episode 3 obviously we'll learn more about his backstory his
adventures with layla the event that caused him to become moonai to make the bargain with konshu and
more of what's going to be happening in present day with amit trying to come back into the mcu
also all the exposition at the end of the episode happening at this triangle pyramid monument is
another reference to the history on the show and taking things back to egypt because they literally
go back to egypt next but if you spotted any other easter eggs in the episode that i didn't mention
