Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis episode is dedicated to Gaspard Ulliel, who portrayed Anton Mogart / Midnight Man and died two months before 'Moon Knight' premiered, due to a brain injury caused by a skiing accident on January 19, 2022, at the age of 37. 'Moon Knight' was the last project that Ulliel finished filming. At the end credits there is a title card that reads, "In memory of Gaspard Ulliel". This was the first time that Marvel paid tribute to Ulliel. Nearly 20 hours after the episode was made available on Disney+, Marvel Studios' official pages shared a tribute to Ulliel that read, "Moon Knight's episode 3 is dedicated to our talented friend Gaspard Ulliel."
- GoofsNeeding the coordinates of Ammit's tomb, Steven lets Khonshu turn back time, knowing the other gods will imprison him in stone for doing so instead of just using a decent astronomy app on the Internet with Layla's iPad.
- Quotes
Marc Spector: So? What about the other gods? Are they just gonna stand by and allow somebody to unleash Ammit?
Khonshu: To signal for an audience with the gods is to risk their wrath.
Marc Spector: Why? What's the worst that could happen?
Khonshu: Anger them enough and they'll imprison me in stone.
Marc Spector: That doesn't sound so bad to me.

Featured review
If you loved the first episode and saw the second as a stumble...
... you may now have very good reason to hope the show has regained its balance.
I think Moon Knight really shines when it allows the actors to really feel the depths of the drama, and when it doesn't shy away from being informative. An action drama can be educational and guttural alike, with both intellectual and emotional range, and it makes the show all the more compelling. Speak to my mind and to my heart.
Two things that were significant detractors for me, in this episode, I will say without spoilers: (1) The fight scenes in the suit feel way too much like CGI Neo fighting in the Matrix sequels--yes, truly that bad--(2) and there's also a scene toward the end that's meant to be visually dazzling, but I couldn't enjoy it without a clear sense of exactly what was physically happening, and what catastrophic effects must have therefore occurred throughout the inhabited cosmos.
Even so, a very good episode. I especially liked the subtlety of acting, and the meaning it conveyed, in the non-CGI fight scenes (like slapping the adolescent Egyptian instead of punching him hard) and how Marc responded (quite believably!) to the feeling of being inhabited by Khonshu.
