#MoonKnight #Episode5 #Review
There’s this trend in Marvel Disney plus shows where the penultimate installment is used for introspection. Wanda re-examines her past with Agatha acting as therapist. Same reconciles the legacy of Captain america with amharic’as relationship to race. Loki literally speaks to himself. And Clint wore the ronin suit to confront his old sins. It makes sense, in the hero’s journey, the hero always has to reach a bit of self-actualization before crossing the final threshold and being granted a reward.
Episode 5 did all of this, with Steven learning about his true nature. But also, Mars facing his past and having his own therapeutic breakthrough.
The episode shows how much Oscar Isaac shines in this show. Hands up if you were really starting to think of Marc and Steven as different people. He adds all these little touches to Steven. It’s not just the accent, it’s his friendliness. Like heavy spoilers pointed out. When Tawret waves at him, he’s terrified, but still tries to give a little wave back.
When Steven was left behind, I was genuinely bummed out. I hope he’s not gone forever.
But what stood out for me about episode 5 was also kind of the weak point of the series: the structure. Not many superhero shows would save the origin for episode 5. I guess we’ve seen so many hero origins, that they wanted to take a risk and show us something new. So instead of Moon Knight being a superhero who happens to have DID, this show presented a person suffering from DID that happens to be a superhero.
It was a bold choice to introduce us to Steven first, and to show the story through his eyes. It puts the audience in the mindset of someone who suffers from this disorder, and I think it was a cool narrative choice.
But still, something about episodes 2 through 4 bothered me. The structure of holding back information made the show feel a bit disjointed, like it wasn’t telling a single story.
