Great episode 5. I missed the booming voice of Khonshu.

lol. It’s coming. I had to watch Manchester City beat Real Madrid today in leg 1 of a semi final! ;-) Good lord, man! Skipping the final season of Saul to watch European foot hockey? Unforgivable! Hey silly American, that stupid children's show is no compare to the biggest thing on Earth. Please stick to your silly plastic sports and your demented politics and let us men have passion for the one true God that is Football!!!

For the record I actually am a soccer fan. I live in the us soccer capital. The sport is actually very popular here. I was just giving Archie a hard time.

Great review...just to play along since I couldn't make it.
Will Jake show up in episode 6? Buy...only because he's been hinted so heavily. It may just be a quirky end scene where someone is talking to Marc and says something like 'Are you listening Marc?" and he responds "Whos Marc?" But I think we'll see him in some way.
Jake will free Konshu? Sell. Although I could see Konshu wanting to use Jake more in the future if Jake is actually a maniac.
Is the whole series a hallucination? Sell. Because that would ruin so much of this series for me. So I'm selling out of shere hope.
Great episode that gave us plenty of Marc...so now Im eager to see the resolution of this Konshu-Ammit beef.

Great work on the production, Grandmaster ! Listening to this week's discussion, I now think that Moon Knight is really a show about a guy with DID who happens to be a superhero when time and circumstances permit. All power to the panel!

Bold prediction! As I type this, it is 11:50 EDT. Grandmaster , Merv , Lord Death Man , LokisMom ,@phistosgauntlet , ArArArchStanton , Grandmaster , Merv , Lord Death Man , LokisMom ,@phistosgauntlet , ArArArchStanton ,Moon Knight drops on Disney+ after midnight EDT. I swear upon an oath to the Grandmaster, I have not seen or read any spoilers. Long live Sakaar! Layla is already Moon Knight. Marc has been in the psych ward since Khonshu departed his body. Indeed Marc is an assassin who is known in mercenary circles as Jake Lockley. Now that Marc has reconciled his soul for all the evil deeds he’s done in the name of some twisted being’s justice, he also comes to realize he was not the author of who he became. His mother’s mental and physical abuse, plus Marc’s own guilt as his psychosis progressives from soldier of fortune to cold-blooded killer, Jake Lockley, as well his negligence in Roro’s death, which circles back to his mother’s abuse who creates Steven Grant, Marc’s alter ego who is unburden of memories. We last see Marc in the Field of Reeds after Steven has help Marc through the corridors of his mind, as it were, leaving Steven in the sea of sand locked as a statue. While Marc goes to the resting place for the dead who have been forgiven their sins. The one doing the forgiving is Marc himself. The “real” world is Marc sitting in Dr Harrow’s office, living inside his guilt-ridden delusions. The “fantasy” has a Moon Knight in it coming to rescue him. Layla falls off the map once Marc wakes up to his reality in the insane asylum. Layla is just another patient, but one he is attracted to. And yet, he asks Taweret to get her a message. Remember, we she her separate from Marc/Steven’s POV when she’s getting a false identity. Therefore, Layla I predict as Khonshu’s new avatar, will recuse Marc from Harrow’s objectives at the behest of her master Khonshu, who is also locked inside Harrow’s psychiatric hospital for insane superheroes and aliens from other dimensions. Wish me luck.

My plan is to do Jeff’s show tonight, then rewatch it to do a psychological deep dive on Champions. I reversed it for episode 5. I got very Freudian last night. I’m doing a Jungian angle for episode 6. 😜

Kinda crazy that Layla's wings are orders of magnitude more practical than Diana's walk-in-closet wings from WW 1984. Hey, at least they looked good…

Well, that was a let down. I hope there’s a second season.

Oscar Isaac made it sound like a second season isn't going to happen, at least anytime soon.

Mixed feelings about the finale...but largely due to how abrupt the actual ending of it felt. I'm just gonna chalk that up to a pacing issue for now, maybe on a rewatch Ill be able to pinpoint what didn't feel right about it.
Loved the god fight and Marc doubling back for Stephen and the whole action oriented ending in general. It just felt like once that was over the credits rolled immediately.
Definitely make sure you've seen the post credit scene too. I actually hate that its post credit because I think its a vital moment to the understanding of this season rather than a fun easter egg or lead in to something bigger. It should have been pre credit.

Wanna say I really enjoyed the look of Ammit...and all 3 gods we see really. Konshu, Ammit and Taweret. But check out this alternate image of Ammit.

The imagination is real inside our heads. The characters we create there are real if we believe they are real.
As children, most of us believed in a real person called Santa Claus, aka Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Sinterklass, St Nic, etc. It paid off to believe in him and when reminded, we would be careful to not displease him. Others acted as his avatars to perpetuate his largess on Earth and we got tangible proof he was real on Christmas morning.
Then we figured it out.

If this crocodile with a blowout spoke, it would be too creepy. Konshu and Ammit's designs are standouts for me, Taweret's less so, but that has more to do with my aversion to hippos and less to do with the quality of the design. I can see why some of the CG in the earlier episodes was borderline. They saved it all up for the finale. I've always considered the Egyptian pantheon of gods to be either poorly or underutilized in popular media. I'd be keen to see more of them in a second season.
