.NSlayton on the MoonKnight finale, and whether the show ever knew what it wanted to be:
, the latest Marvel Disney+ show, has come and gone. And after six episodes, it’s clear the show never really got going.? Like its protagonist, the show never knew what it wanted to be. Despite the fertile storytelling ground the source material offers and the talents of its leads Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke,never quite found its focus. Tonal elements and storytelling routes are introduced and then abandoned with each episode.
The show threw together a variety of premises within each episode.
Some of the show’s biggest cracks were evident in the final two episodes. The penultimate episode, “Asylum,” was a fantastic showcase of Oscar Isaac’s acting ability, as Steven and Marc work through their issues with each other and uncover childhood trauma. Even antagonist Ethan Hawke got to try something new as the eerily toned but well-intentioned “Dr. Harrow.” As its own episode, it was great. As the penultimate one of the series, it’s a baffling choice.
The closest the show came to a wider theme was the dread of being a puppet or servant to a god. It’s interesting and fertile ground to explore, given the presence of the Norse gods in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the rage-against-the-heavens events of. What does it mean that these beings walk the Earth? The only one to really weigh in on that was Hawke’s villain. But that ends up being an afterthought, even when the show introduced a cadre of other avatars who didn’t really do much.
