Dare I say... Perfectly paced Pilot episode!?

And we finally got the suit in the first episode in a marvel project, instead of edging the fans until the last episode.

And some good shots of konshu. I like how they didn't waste any time for a 6 episode season

At least right after the 6th episode MoM comes out. 😁😁

And there's only three weeks between the finale of this and the premiere of Obi-Wan!

The preview for MoM will be showing when the last episode of MK drops for me. It's gonna be a hell of a night.

Preview = opening night showing. It'll probably start around 6pm - 6:30pm while MK will drop at 7pm. Same thing happened with the fifth episode of Loki and the Black Widow previews, it's the timezone I'm in.

And then Obi-Wan right after that!

And having Moon Knight meet the antagonist before episode 1’s halfway point? Ballsy.

Oscar Isaac: “I produced this, I ain’t gonna skimp!”

NGL the CGI shot of him coming up behind him looked kinda blah.

Not sure what's going on at Marvel but some of the CGI has been pretty wonky these days.

u/Hummer77x Mar 30 '22

The whole thing bit with the van, while coolly executed with the blacking out, looked straight up bad cgi wise

u/InnocentTailor Iron Patriot Mar 30 '22

Love it! Now we can move past the obvious and dive right into the plot.

u/NomadPrime Mar 30 '22

I'm not always a fan of trying to tell an origin backwards, but this might go well if they execute it properly. Helps a ton that the personality-splitting, amnesia, and some clever editing can really play into the disjointed storytelling (again, if they do it right).

Some good steak ep1….finally

u/Pietru24 Mar 30 '22

I think they'll build up to the Mr Knight suit, glad we got the classic right off the bat.

u/hemareddit Steve Rogers Mar 30 '22

He has two suits in this show, so they can afford to do that.

Heck, there may be three suits in this show. I wanna see the skeleton suit in live action.
