Another Side Of ‘Moon Knight’ Rises In Marvel Show’s Season One Finale

deadline.com:

Warning: The following review contains major spoilers from the season one finale of Moon Knight “Episode 6” and also Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.There’s a moment in the season one finale of Disney+/Marvel’s Moon Knight when the good guy God Khonshu (F.

Murray Abraham) tells the bad girl God Ammit (Sofa Danu) in the midst of their battle, “I only punish those who have chosen evil!”.Clearly Khonshu forgot to mention the innocent Disney+ viewers who’ve been lost in what is arguably been Marvel’s most confusing series to date.In this great multiverse thread that Marvel has set up between last year’s movies like Spider-Man: No Way Home and TV series WandaVision and Loki, the studio this year has moved beyond those measured, pristine orchestral movements to utter, Byzantine chaos in regards to storytelling.

Despite the lush production value of Moon Knight, its exotic locales, stunning action, and great use of standards (the finale opens with the sublime Earl Grant tune “The End (of a Rainbow)”), the story was indeed a confusing slog between alter-realities and a poor man’s dissociative identity disorder.

At times, I felt Marvel was trying to put their own spin on Mr. Robot, but even that was significantly more clever, and hooking.And, yes, this complex storytelling runs a mock in this coming weekend’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
