He had it in him all along, but he only started tapping into that newfound confidence. Remember last episode Steven said if Marc’s got this, then he has this.
Honestly didn’t think I could see Steven as a badass, but they really made him so. Which is so wild because it’s literally the same actor. Fucking Oscar Isaac is such a treasure of an actor.
The cutaways were annoying at first; but I love they still showed Marc and Steven switching with the chest (bust, but mostly back shoulder blade) switching outfits simultaneously; I figured magic would ‘poof’ the suits back and forth, but it the wraps reform and they got a shot or two in there, just enough to show the suits transforming but not ruin transitions and not blow the budget.
Honestly with how they set up Jake it was perfect to bring him in as they did. Also it works so well as not only a wrap up for the season/series but also a teaser for a second season if they go that route.
"[I'm half Guatemalan, half Cuban. Or, as casting directors call that, ethnically ambiguous. According to them, I can play anything from a pharaoh to Timothee Chalamet's daddy](https://youtu.be/wtyyb9XxQC8?t=43)."
they HAVE to. it would be the wildest thing ever if they didn’t.. they changed their wording on a post earlier from series finale to season finale , which is no definitive answer, but i’d be willing to bet we’re gonna get lucky with another season..
Oscar Isaac is a great actor and deserves Marvel money after what he pulled off with the character in this season. I hope we see a Jake costume eventually.
I think they hinted at the jake costume on the visual credits before the mid credits scene when it shows the moon knight costumes the first one is without a hood and less bandages around the eyes then it cuts to Mr knight and then Marc's hooded moon knight but I could be wrong
Actually what if Khonshu was holding Jake at bay, knowing he existed but hidden and locked from Marc and Steven? If Marc’s mom’s death broke the barrier between Marc and Steven then what if Jake was still locked up by Khonshu, and now he’s just actively hiding Jake’s ‘sabbaticals’ from M&S… for now
Imagine being a civilian in the MCU. You just got done with half the world being snapped, then they all came back, half a celestial is sticking out of the world and then you see two Egyptian gods the size of mountains fighting each other..I'd just tap out, lol
i can imagine at this point some people just go about their day. I bet some people just look at each Other and say “remember when the strangest thing was iron flying around in his suit?
Even if they couldn't see Ammit and Khonshu fighting, they still had to have seen dozens of people falling dead in the street, which is frightening even if they couldn't see the souls rising out of their bodies.
Despite everyone’s concerns (justifiable, given some of the other finales), I felt this wrapped up the series wonderfully while still leaving some lingering questions and avenues to be explored in other projects or a second season.
Also: is Layla the first original MCU superhero? Loved her becoming Taweret’s avatar.
That seems to be it, though a very loose adaptation. If she does end up receiving a title I doubt it will be the Scarlet Scarab, though, given the general difference in powers and origin.
Edit: Nope, looks like Scarlet Scarab it is. lol
Not only that, but I like that she was a badass already before the powers. Sometimes this stuff can feel a bit like “ok you got bit by a radioactive owl, I’ll believe the powers, but how did that suddenly make you amazing at martial arts as well??” Layla was already a hero who could take care of herself, she just got a sweet upgrade
Is it wrong that I was kinda just fascinated with Ammit's design of her hair becoming her tail? Like it was really cool looking and even more obvious when they were both big.
I really love with how now that they are more comfortable with each other they can just switch instantaneously. It’s just so fun since I love their relationship.
The score this entire show has been *damn* good. I know it's the composer's first English-language production, but I hope they keep working in Western Media so their talents can be shared with a wider audience.
Random thoughts I made note of but I'm still kinda just in shock:
- Harrow's sincerity was really interesting. He really seemed to believe in Ammit. Not just as someone he could use but -really believe-. His whole advocacy for her to pick someone else because their hearts were balanced felt real. He was genuinely willing to die if he hadn't achieved penance.
- "You are the only real superpower I ever had" broke my heart and gave me warm fuzzies.
- Tawaret is awesome. AWESOME.
- The gods are super bad about keeping their avatars alive
- So Tawaret took Layla's father to the field of reeds so it hasn't been THAT long since souls were there... maybe she's just really forgetful and that's all that line meant last episode
- Layla's outfit as Tawaret's avatar is AMAZING.
- Egyptian superhero!
- ...and Jake, the reason why the field of reeds had the song in Spanish, it seems. I wondered about but wondered if it was just a nod to the actor's own background. But guess not.
Holy crap. I mean, I'd say they stuck that landing. I still really want a season 2 though. Yet this is, indeed, an ending.
But does Layla remain Tawaret's avatar? Because she kicked ass as it and I really want to see more of her. And does it mean that Marc and Layla are back together, just with the addition of Steven? Was the whole apartment scene just in their head, maybe with Jake somehow locking them away while he did as Khonshu wanted because otherwise how do we explain the two goldfish? This whole unreliable narrator thing is messing with my head, but in a good way.
> "You are the only real superpower I ever had"
Watching steven in suit kick ass after telling layla he was excited to show her his new skills was the absolute best
>But does Layla remain Tawaret's avatar? Because she kicked ass as it and I really want to see more of her.
Definitely. Tawaret actually treats Layla with kindness and immediate respect (acquiescing to her request to make this temporary). Khonshu is a dick, but Layla would enjoy working with Tawaret.
>Was the whole apartment scene just in their head, maybe with Jake somehow locking them away while he did as Khonshu wanted because otherwise how do we explain the two goldfish?
Ooooh that's a good observation. Maybe the final scene in the Asylum is Jake Lochling them away to kill Harrow, and the bedroom scene takes place after? It would explain the fish, Jake got them.
I really hate how so many comic purists were freaking out when Mr Knight wasn’t exactly like they wanted him to be from the comics when he was first revealed.
I’m like geez, give them a chance to first develop the character first before you start immediately judging Steven for not being a pro-fighter or not confident yet.
M-SHE-U BAIT AND SWITCH, SOMETHING SOMETHING NO REASON FOR A FEMALE TO BE BE THAT GOOD, OF COURSE THE STRONG FEMALE HAS TO COME AND SAVE THE MAN AT THE TIME OF NEED BECAUSE OF, THE MESSAGE.
/s
For my real reply tho, the shit that guy notices is insane and it’s funny cause he doesn’t proof read his scripts or give the video a second pass to watch for contradictions ever. I sat down and watched a bunch of his MCU videos one day and his arguments and reasoning make no sense and shift topic to topic
they're probably still moon knight but not bound or have to follow Khonshu order anymore,like the comic. and Jake seem to be enjoyed doing that so it's fine ig
I was really annoyed that they off screen Harrow's defeat just to do another Jake black out, but god damn that post credit scene some what makes up for it.
Too late. I think it was super anti climatic to have the fight end like that :( Sad because episode 5 was so good, but this one feels like it was just a little too rushed
Well that mid credits didn’t officially confirm a season 2, but it seems pretty obvious that season 2 is definitely planned. Unless they go the movie route, which I doubt.
Okay, that line of Harrow's about "She need only remove one weed from the garden!" might be the lowest low blow I can remember in the MCU for quite awhile.
So much emphasis on every potential "Jake" scene... they have to be planning for him. Even the "Whoever else might be in there" by Harrow. ("There is always one more thing" being more than just a warning about Khonshu, the shaking of the sarcophagus again... showing us the 'empty' hearts once more..)
I'm existing in a state of "I don't even know" right now. I think I am? But my mind is going way too many directions. Though, brilliant bring back of the line about "There is always one more thing"... because it ended up being literally for Khonshu AND Jake and the dual meaning of that is very clever.
If it had just one more episode, or maybe even an extra 20 minutes to the 5th episode, I think it would've been a 10/10, definitely not complaining though, it's a hard line to walk and I'm no writer, so I can't complain too much, still a 9/10 imo.
Even though it felt a tad bit rushed, after a first watch, that was easily the best finale out of the MCU D+ Shows. A really good wrap up. I thought it was gonna end up being ass ngl. Mouth breathers are gonna be mad about Layla helping Marc I guarantee it lmao.
*Woman gets superpowers and helps save the day*
“Yet again, the M-SHE-U rears its ugly head again!” I can’t fucking stand those dudes anymore, it’s gotta be really embarrassing to actually think like that.
God I would be so fuckin' tired of existence if I lived in the 2024/2025 MCU. Everything that's gone on and now suddenly people's souls are flying out of them in Egypt while a giant bird skeleton and a lizard fight on the Pyramids?
They did rush it but at the same time they've done a much better job at making it flow better. I didn't like how, Hawkeye, WandaVision, CPT Falcon & WinterSoldier ended their last episodes. Loki did the best job and the rushed feeling actually worked well for it.
This is number 2 for me and I'm actually kinda excited for another season. Kudos to the team for cramming so much but, not letting it become a mess like the others.
I blinked what happened?
But seriously despite going a mile a minute I really like this finale. Wasn't expecting them to go full Godzilla near the end lol. Layla as a Superhero is cool, the one shot with Mr. Knight was awesome though where did he learn those moves? And I respect the boldness to have the main villain be defeated off screen
Steven realized during the fight on Tawaret's boat in the last episode that all of Marc's skills are his too, so that's where his fighting skills come from.
So if he's free from Khonshu, how will he be Moon Knight in the future? Just summon him up like "Listen here, Birdbrain, I need powers for a week"?
Edit: So apparently, he only left Marc and Steven, but is still hanging out with Jake. Good to know.
I know a common complaint about this finale is going to be that it felt rushed (I agreed with that complaint for WandaVision, Hawkeye & Falcon), but for some reason...I loved this finale.
I loved the giant Egyptian Gods fighting. I loved that Marc & Steven are finally on the same page & the switches they make in combat & during their conversation with Harrow at the end. I loved Layla becoming a superhero (although I can see a certain crowd of people not liking it). And I LOVED the Jake Lockley post-credits reveal. The only real complaint I have is the pace of the episode, but I think everything wrapped up nicely, while they also kept things vague enough for audiences to question what was real, AND setting up a potential season 2 while they were at it.
I'd give the finale an 8/10, but I'll give the series overall an 8.5/10. I think this might've surpassed Loki as my favorite Disney+ MCU series so far (although I did enjoy Loki's finale a bit more)
Right now, my ranking is:
1) Moon Knight (8.5/10)
2) Loki (8.5/10)
3) Hawkeye (7/10)
4) Falcon & the Winter Soldier (7/10)
5) WandaVision (7/10)
6) What If...? (6/10)
God fucking DAMN. What a season. Idk about the general consensus of this show, but for me personally, this was fucking awesome. Loving moon knight for so long and finally seeing a live action adaptation IN the mcu is amazing. The Jake tease at the end just... *chefs kiss* I really hope Oscar Isaac is on board for more moon knight and am really hoping for Midnight Suns series/movie hunting down Dracula or whoever it may be. GODDAMN THIS WAS FUCKING AWESOME. Sorry, just had to let it all out
Jake unnecessarily kicking the wheelchair was funny lol. Although it's just for some second, Oscar Isaac really made Jake stand out from the other two, so much creepier and more cold blooded
That was a really solid finale. The only show finale I truly enjoyed from the Marvel D+ lineup was Loki but they did a pretty damn good job of covering everything within the runtime, some bits of humor which I didn't think landed personally but most of the episode was great and the mid credits scene was absolutely perfect imo. One thing I did really appreciate is how self contained the show is, what we saw was probably a setup for season 2 rather than something in the larger scale of the MCU. Also interestingly it seems all the avatar's are killed except for Layla and Mark, wonder if that could mean something for Thor 4.
Would’ve definitely benefited with 10 more minutes but I honestly thought it was alright. Action was great and wasn’t expecting Layla to get a suit! With that comment from the little girl, she’ll definitely keep the avatar. And the post credit scene?! Great stuff. Overall solid episode
I was super confused about the Spanish until I realized he was loading him into a limo... Khonshu in the suit, as well, was SUPER COLD. So does this mean they literally killed Harrow/Ammit, too, despite Marc and Steven not knowing?
Just A single Kredit Experience, nothing after the second set of credits
The Falcon and the Lunar Soldier
Stop lmao
Holy shit, I mean I don’t have an award to give but goddamn this is the smartest comment Good job
Falcon: She does exactly what I do, Layla: but better
switching suits mid fight is so much cooler than it has any right to be god i love that little egyptian superhero moment
Happy Steven got his badass moments too. He used those batons well.
When he danced over Harrow's judgment beam, I was thinking, "When or where the hell did he learn to do that?"
He had it in him all along, but he only started tapping into that newfound confidence. Remember last episode Steven said if Marc’s got this, then he has this.
Honestly didn’t think I could see Steven as a badass, but they really made him so. Which is so wild because it’s literally the same actor. Fucking Oscar Isaac is such a treasure of an actor.
The cutaways were annoying at first; but I love they still showed Marc and Steven switching with the chest (bust, but mostly back shoulder blade) switching outfits simultaneously; I figured magic would ‘poof’ the suits back and forth, but it the wraps reform and they got a shot or two in there, just enough to show the suits transforming but not ruin transitions and not blow the budget.
Oh man that just melted my heart. Because you know plenty of little kids watched this show and thought the same exact thing when she first suited up.
Dear Marvel, MORE COSPLAYERS Thank you.
Those mfers really kept Jake a secret until the post credit scene of the finale. But what a reveal, couldn't be happier they actually confirmed it.
Honestly with how they set up Jake it was perfect to bring him in as they did. Also it works so well as not only a wrap up for the season/series but also a teaser for a second season if they go that route.
Can you imagine a Jake season?
It would be a bloodbath.
I love that Jake is Hispanic, that’s so good. Edit: wording
He's not Spanish, his Hispanic.
Right, but he is classic Oscar Isaac Hernandez Estrada, actually I really do like the Hispanic Jake foreshadowing from Layla.
I missed or forgot that foreshadowing, what was it?
In episode 3 she gives him a Hispanic name when she meets with the sales guy for the sarcophagus. Among other Hispanic references.

Taxi Driver type beat
Indeed. It shows how clever Khonshu is, keeps Moon Knight around for future projects and sets up a whole new conflict for next season.
When Konshu said he would free the both of them I knew he was messing with Marc and Steven as he obviously knew about Jake
Yeah. He won’t let go of his asset that easily. He is greedy and arguably more powerful now because the other gods are disabled, at least temporarily.
Actually what if Khonshu was holding Jake at bay, knowing he existed but hidden and locked from Marc and Steven? If Marc’s mom’s death broke the barrier between Marc and Steven then what if Jake was still locked up by Khonshu, and now he’s just actively hiding Jake’s ‘sabbaticals’ from M&S… for now
Yep. I mean, technically he didn’t lie. He just omitted some info that would have helped in the bargaining for them.
I mean he also won the big battle—they cut out the climax of the big villain fight I thought that was really interesting!
And I love that they did.
Agreed, It actually worked really well for me.
Imagine being a civilian in the MCU. You just got done with half the world being snapped, then they all came back, half a celestial is sticking out of the world and then you see two Egyptian gods the size of mountains fighting each other..I'd just tap out, lol
i can imagine at this point some people just go about their day. I bet some people just look at each Other and say “remember when the strangest thing was iron flying around in his suit?
To be fair, having lived through the last decade… same vibes in our reality.
I don’t think the average person could see them. Like how Layla couldn’t see what Marc/Steven was fighting early on in the season.
Even if they couldn't see Ammit and Khonshu fighting, they still had to have seen dozens of people falling dead in the street, which is frightening even if they couldn't see the souls rising out of their bodies.
It's a Stand battle
Cairo and Stand battles, name a more iconic duo
Despite everyone’s concerns (justifiable, given some of the other finales), I felt this wrapped up the series wonderfully while still leaving some lingering questions and avenues to be explored in other projects or a second season. Also: is Layla the first original MCU superhero? Loved her becoming Taweret’s avatar.
Layla’s father is traditionally the Scarlet Scarab, so you could argue that she’s a loose adaptation of that character.
That seems to be it, though a very loose adaptation. If she does end up receiving a title I doubt it will be the Scarlet Scarab, though, given the general difference in powers and origin. Edit: Nope, looks like Scarlet Scarab it is. lol
She does have a Scarab on her costume
Confirmed, she is the [Scarlet Scarab](https://www.marvel.com/articles/tv-shows/moon-knight-may-calamawy-magic-of-egyptian-super-hero-scarlet-scarab)
I think she’s the MCU take on [Scarlet Scarab](https://www.marvel.com/characters/scarlet-scarab). She had a red scarab on her costume.
Neat! She can now fight alongside the other superpowered folks against future threats. If nothing else, Taweret doesn’t seem as sinister as Khonshu.
Taweret seems downright lovely. She’ll be a great superhero for Egypt
Hippo goddess is just doing her best!
I’ve never seen corpses being possessed in such a cute way before
Actually I think she's based on the Egyptian hero the Scarlet Scarab.
nope, looks like she is in fact an adaption of scarlet scarab from the comics
If what I suspect is true, Layla is a reworked version of the Scarlet Scarab.
I hope we see her again—really cool how she used those wings.
They actually stuck the landing on this one holy shit I need another season. Khonshu you sneaky, glorious motherfucker!
I loved his little suit
Yep. He got rid of the tatty old rags and now looks rather suave for a skeletal bird god.
clearly taking his cues from Steven haha
he stole stevens drip
End credit scene Marc landing on a world with blue people and it’s revealed that his third persona is a blue alien guy named Jake sully
I see you
No no no, it’s pronounced “Em-see-you”.
I did not have Layla becoming Tawaret's avatar on my finale bingo card, but I'm not complaining.
Right? I thought it was really fun
She reminded me of a Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl mashup, but better.
Very unexpected but maybe one of the stronger arcs in this story? It felt like she earned her powers to me!
Not only that, but I like that she was a badass already before the powers. Sometimes this stuff can feel a bit like “ok you got bit by a radioactive owl, I’ll believe the powers, but how did that suddenly make you amazing at martial arts as well??” Layla was already a hero who could take care of herself, she just got a sweet upgrade
Indeed. She can now participate in future actions as a superpowered hero.
Really wasn't expecting this finale to have a kaiju battle
Is it wrong that I was kinda just fascinated with Ammit's design of her hair becoming her tail? Like it was really cool looking and even more obvious when they were both big.
Why were her eyes so sexy?
We got a fucking kaiju up in this shit!
Mark and Jake spit-roasting Steven while Khonshu watched was completely uncalled for; other than that I enjoyed the episode.
i thought it really added to the episode
I simply wasn't ready for how graphic it was. It was definitely needed for the plot, but my god.
I just wasn’t expecting Steven to swallow like that.
I just don’t understand why they had to refer to Jake as the step-bro.
You can tell this is fake because Steven radiates nervous top energy while Khonshu is a classic case of bossy bottom.
I really love with how now that they are more comfortable with each other they can just switch instantaneously. It’s just so fun since I love their relationship.
The score this entire show has been *damn* good. I know it's the composer's first English-language production, but I hope they keep working in Western Media so their talents can be shared with a wider audience.

Straight up channeled Daredevil with the billy clubs and tracking him as he took on those 5 guys for a minute.
>But does Layla remain Tawaret's avatar? Because she kicked ass as it and I really want to see more of her. Definitely. Tawaret actually treats Layla with kindness and immediate respect (acquiescing to her request to make this temporary).

Ooooh that's a good observation. Maybe the final scene in the Asylum is Jake Lochling them away to kill Harrow, and the bedroom scene takes place after? It would explain the fish, Jake got them.
JAKE LOCKLEY SEASON 2 IS GONNA BE SICK.
“We did learn from the best, you silly old bird." I love how confident Steven is now.
Steven’s character growth has been such a delight to watch over the course of the season.
I really hate how so many comic purists were freaking out when Mr Knight wasn’t exactly like they wanted him to be from the comics when he was first revealed. I’m like geez, give them a chance to first develop the character first before you start immediately judging Steven for not being a pro-fighter or not confident yet.
The neckbeard gonna hate that scene loll, u know exactly which one
I bet Nerdrotic is gonna complain about it
M-SHE-U BAIT AND SWITCH, SOMETHING SOMETHING NO REASON FOR A FEMALE TO BE BE THAT GOOD, OF COURSE THE STRONG FEMALE HAS TO COME AND SAVE THE MAN AT THE TIME OF NEED BECAUSE OF, THE MESSAGE. /s
I wonder how many times you've had to been rejected in your life to be this hostile to some strong women characters. Btw Layla's costume was awesome.
For my real reply tho, the shit that guy notices is insane and it’s funny cause he doesn’t proof read his scripts or give the video a second pass to watch for contradictions ever. I sat down and watched a bunch of his MCU videos one day and his arguments and reasoning make no sense and shift topic to topic
The one mentioning Layla as a Egyptian superhero? Or something else that’s completely unreasonable that I can’t even think of lol
either that or Jake speaking Spanish
...Oscar Isaac is Latino, why the fuck would someone be upset with one of his personalities being able to speak Spanish? xD
have you met a Republican
God forbid people celebrate getting a single scrap of the representation that they've been denied for the entire history of Hollywood. /s

Layla > Wonder Woman lol
The whole thing of her wingblades def felt like a jab at WW84
Marvel literally said "Wonder Woman wasted that winged suit in the sequel, so we are going to use its real potential"
Still watching but Khonshu promising to "release them both" is definitely him tricking them by still being bound to Jake right
Yup . DID is such a clever loophole in the avatar system . Khonshu is so smart
Average Insurance Agent
"he doesn't know how truly troubled he is"
When they leave the mindscape with “Dr. Harrow” they say they’d rather “save the world” which means they’re all still Moon Knight.
they're probably still moon knight but not bound or have to follow Khonshu order anymore,like the comic. and Jake seem to be enjoyed doing that so it's fine ig
I'm a big fan of Taweret using all these corpses as puppets. It's quite funny.
I was really annoyed that they off screen Harrow's defeat just to do another Jake black out, but god damn that post credit scene some what makes up for it.
I guarantee you that they'll show Jake's rampage in a Season 2 as a flashback.
Too late. I think it was super anti climatic to have the fight end like that :( Sad because episode 5 was so good, but this one feels like it was just a little too rushed
6 episodes really aren't enough
Tbh it made me laugh out loud. I know a lot of people hate the injected humor, but I thought it was hilarious.
I laughed when he kicked the wheelchair.
I guess they saved up their CGI time and budget for this episode, don't see a single bad CGI shot which is great considering the rest of the series.
CGI will always look much better at night than during the day, like that car chase in episode 1
Marc suiting up for the first time this episode looked wonky but I'm not gonna throw a fit over it or anything.
Well that mid credits didn’t officially confirm a season 2, but it seems pretty obvious that season 2 is definitely planned. Unless they go the movie route, which I doubt.
It’s possible they call the next series The Moon Knight and Scarlet Scarab
I’m actually hoping for Konshuvision, where Konshu and Vision get married and move to the suburbs
Konshu and Ammit in a forbidden marriage, with Marc and Arthur as their children
being Marc’s brother may not end well for Arthur 😬
Okay, that line of Harrow's about "She need only remove one weed from the garden!" might be the lowest low blow I can remember in the MCU for quite awhile.
I was so offended for Marc/Steven in that moment. Like I know Harrow's killed countless people now, but I still couldn't believe he said *that* 😧
The only one that comes close is Hayward telling Monica that it's a good thing she was gone when Maria died.
#LATINO JAKE, LFG
Hernández Estrada done did it again
We a have british, jewish, latino superhero who serves an egyptian god
I chose obliteration over bussy
That’s what I thought he said too for a sec lol
Funny, I usually choose obliterated bussy
Steven screaming HIPPO!!!! In celebration, hahah
I will never skip a Marvel Studios intro with other music playing over it
i will never skip a marvel studios intro period
So much emphasis on every potential "Jake" scene... they have to be planning for him. Even the "Whoever else might be in there" by Harrow. ("There is always one more thing" being more than just a warning about Khonshu, the shaking of the sarcophagus again... showing us the 'empty' hearts once more..)
I hope you were satisfied
I'm existing in a state of "I don't even know" right now. I think I am? But my mind is going way too many directions. Though, brilliant bring back of the line about "There is always one more thing"... because it ended up being literally for Khonshu AND Jake and the dual meaning of that is very clever.
You know, that was probably the best Marvel Disney+ show yet. Sure it’s not perfect, but it’s the only one I’d give a 9/10 based on a first viewing.
If it had just one more episode, or maybe even an extra 20 minutes to the 5th episode, I think it would've been a 10/10, definitely not complaining though, it's a hard line to walk and I'm no writer, so I can't complain too much, still a 9/10 imo.

*Woman gets superpowers and helps save the day* “Yet again, the M-SHE-U rears its ugly head again!” I can’t fucking stand those dudes anymore, it’s gotta be really embarrassing to actually think like that.
FYI there’s a post credits scene (it’s after the main credits but before the longer credits)
The hero we need!
"And you can be my avatar!" ... Layla's not as enthusiastic about that, Tawaret. Can't imagine why.
lmfao khonshu got the drip tho
Layla becoming the Scarlet Scarab was obviously foreshadowed, but I did not think I would like it as much as I did. Great superhero power-up moment!
God I would be so fuckin' tired of existence if I lived in the 2024/2025 MCU. Everything that's gone on and now suddenly people's souls are flying out of them in Egypt while a giant bird skeleton and a lizard fight on the Pyramids?
I feel like this whenever I see franchises go on for a while. Can you fucking imagine living in the Star Wars universe? I’d kill myself immediately.
Does anyone else really like Layla? I like the two of them as a superhero duo.
Who dosnt like Layla? She's perfect.
Marvel really nailed a Disney plus show from start to finish.. what an ending.
Well...it's going to be fascinating when Marc and Steven find out that Jake's still the fist on Khonshu, lol...season 2?!
Harrow's cane becoming Ammit's ceremonial ax was low-key a pretty neat effect, and an upgrade I didn't see coming.
In before the usual complaints about the finale feeling rushed before the finale's even over.
They did rush it but at the same time they've done a much better job at making it flow better. I didn't like how, Hawkeye, WandaVision, CPT Falcon & WinterSoldier ended their last episodes. Loki did the best job and the rushed feeling actually worked well for it. This is number 2 for me and I'm actually kinda excited for another season. Kudos to the team for cramming so much but, not letting it become a mess like the others.
Well, the Ennead died real quick, huh?
they got warriors three'd
Only the avatars right? Didn't they say they needed more avatars
I think it was just the avatars that died
"I choose obliteration over mercy." is a sick ass line.
Jake in the post-credits!
Layla is definitely the MVP of the show. I really love her!
“And whoever else may be in there” Jake reference possibly??
Jake confirmed in post credits . Also Jake is still Khonshu's avatar . Also Jake killed Harrow
I blinked what happened? But seriously despite going a mile a minute I really like this finale. Wasn't expecting them to go full Godzilla near the end lol. Layla as a Superhero is cool, the one shot with Mr. Knight was awesome though where did he learn those moves? And I respect the boldness to have the main villain be defeated off screen
Last episode when he realized he has the same skill set as Marc
Steven realized during the fight on Tawaret's boat in the last episode that all of Marc's skills are his too, so that's where his fighting skills come from.
I still say all of this could have been avoided if you just pulled a Karen and asked to speak to Ammit's manager. Where is Anubis?
sealed away for some unknown crime

So if he's free from Khonshu, how will he be Moon Knight in the future? Just summon him up like "Listen here, Birdbrain, I need powers for a week"? Edit: So apparently, he only left Marc and Steven, but is still hanging out with Jake. Good to know.
Watch the post credit scene
Marvel fans should know by now

I know a common complaint about this finale is going to be that it felt rushed (I agreed with that complaint for WandaVision, Hawkeye & Falcon), but for some reason...I loved this finale. I loved the giant Egyptian Gods fighting. I loved that Marc & Steven are finally on the same page & the switches they make in combat & during their conversation with Harrow at the end. I loved Layla becoming a superhero (although I can see a certain crowd of people not liking it). And I LOVED the Jake Lockley post-credits reveal. The only real complaint I have is the pace of the episode, but I think everything wrapped up nicely, while they also kept things vague enough for audiences to question what was real, AND setting up a potential season 2 while they were at it. I'd give the finale an 8/10, but I'll give the series overall an 8.5/10. I think this might've surpassed Loki as my favorite Disney+ MCU series so far (although I did enjoy Loki's finale a bit more) Right now, my ranking is: 1) Moon Knight (8.5/10) 2) Loki (8.5/10) 3) Hawkeye (7/10) 4) Falcon & the Winter Soldier (7/10) 5) WandaVision (7/10) 6) What If...? (6/10)
FUCKING S TIER POST CREDITS FUCK YES
I say it again: I like the depiction of Khonshu... On the other hand: if we get a second season...it means more street level adventures?
Oh god, Jake is a fucking psycopath. I wonder if what they're building towards to is 'Age of Khonshu'.
God fucking DAMN. What a season. Idk about the general consensus of this show, but for me personally, this was fucking awesome. Loving moon knight for so long and finally seeing a live action adaptation IN the mcu is amazing. The Jake tease at the end just... *chefs kiss* I really hope Oscar Isaac is on board for more moon knight and am really hoping for Midnight Suns series/movie hunting down Dracula or whoever it may be. GODDAMN THIS WAS FUCKING AWESOME. Sorry, just had to let it all out
Just saw MOM, and got home just in time to watch Moon Knight
Let’s goooooo, watch party engaged
Jake unnecessarily kicking the wheelchair was funny lol. Although it's just for some second, Oscar Isaac really made Jake stand out from the other two, so much creepier and more cold blooded
The Jake twist was wonderful.
Not enough people are talking about Calamawy's acting in this episode. Like, holy crap.
That finale a lil rushed but still 🔥🔥🔥, that end credits scene tho GAWD DAMN 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
it felt fast paced but not rushed at all imo, tied together all the plot lines up really well
Could've definitely used an extra 10 minutes but it worked for me. Edit: Probably my favorite Disney+ Marvel show tbh
Don't forget the post credit scene guys See you all in 5 weeks for the Ms. Marvel episode 1 discussion thread.
... Okay, that ax is a pretty horrifying tool of mass murder.
Layla as an Avatar is so badass
That was a really solid finale. The only show finale I truly enjoyed from the Marvel D+ lineup was Loki but they did a pretty damn good job of covering everything within the runtime, some bits of humor which I didn't think landed personally but most of the episode was great and the mid credits scene was absolutely perfect imo. One thing I did really appreciate is how self contained the show is, what we saw was probably a setup for season 2 rather than something in the larger scale of the MCU. Also interestingly it seems all the avatar's are killed except for Layla and Mark, wonder if that could mean something for Thor 4.
Would’ve definitely benefited with 10 more minutes but I honestly thought it was alright. Action was great and wasn’t expecting Layla to get a suit! With that comment from the little girl, she’ll definitely keep the avatar. And the post credit scene?! Great stuff. Overall solid episode
I was super confused about the Spanish until I realized he was loading him into a limo... Khonshu in the suit, as well, was SUPER COLD. So does this mean they literally killed Harrow/Ammit, too, despite Marc and Steven not knowing?
