Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke in Marvel series Moon Knight.
Isaac plays Marc Spector, aka Moon Knight. Though he doesn’t have superpowers, the Marvel comics character is a crime-fighting former US Marine with dissociative identity disorder who becomes a conduit for Egyptian moon god Khonshu.
The series consists of six 40-50 minute episodes and will premiere in 2022.
CGI 3D Animated Short: “Moon Knight Fan film” – by Akshay Tiwari | TheCGBros
TheCGBros
TheCGBros Presents “Moon Knight Fan film” – by Akshay Tiwari – A dynamic vignette about the bizarre and fractured realities of Marc Spector a.k.a Moon Knight. Inspired from writer Jeff Lemire and artist Greg Smallwood’s epic comic run on the character, it is a journey through death, doubt and delirium which culminates in symbolic rebirth.
Marvel recently did a version where Moon Knight went crazy during a Super Moon, which made him very powerful and he took on everyone.
A character that I just don’t know, along with Eternals and Shang-Chi. Never read about the character. I liked the way it looked, but that’s about it. In recent Avengers comics, they rebooted the character and made him amazing. Lots of things can be done with the character, as the powers kind of come and go and the character can be resurrected by a god, so it kind of falls into the category of “re-player.” Also, not sure if the comics ever did it, but I saw one title called “Hunter’s Moon” recently and liked that one. There are many different types and phases of moons, like Blood Moon, for example, so it would be interesting to see what good writers could do with this character.
Today on Variant, we give you the History of Moon Knight!
I liked this comment by a fan:
Moon knight then: a brooding Batman merc with skills, valor, and dr. Fate’s origin.
Moon knight now: random bullshit go
Moon Knight: Most Powerful Abilities Ranked
Marc Spector has one of the most interesting histories in the MCU. He’s one of the only main superheroes living with mental illness and his dissociative identity disorder makes him a fascinating character to watch and read about. On the surface, Marc Spector has an average superhero origin. He was close to perishing in Egypt when he stumbled upon an ancient tomb, then one thing led to another and the Egyptian God of Vengeance Khonshu chose him to be his tool to fight bad guys. But the whole mental illness aspect called into question whether Marc was truly receiving visions from a god, or if that was just another aspect of his personality manifesting itself. It makes for a fascinating main character who I’ll be discussing today!
Because we might all know what Marc Spector’s superhero alter ego looks like, but we might now all know what his abilities are. Sure he wears a bright white suit in order to strike fear in his enemies and he has other personalities that manifest itself, but when Marc Spector is in full superhero mode, what exactly are his powers? Besides the standard super strength, durability and speed, he’s a master at hand-to-hand combat, he’s an expert in just about any weapon he grabs, and he shoots with pinpoint accuracy. But what about more mystical stuff? Did you know he once developed the ability to drain the life out of the people he touches? Did you know he has prophetic dreams? Did you know he once was the host for the all-powerful Phoenix Force? Yeah, crazy stuff!
So join me today as I discuss all of this future Avenger’s powers and abilities.
Marvel Studios’ Moon Knight | Official Trailer | Disney+

Marvel Entertainment
Welcome to chaos 🌙 Watch the new trailer for Marvel Studios’ Moon Knight and start streaming the Original series March 30 on Disney+.
But the whole mental illness aspect called into question whether Marc was truly receiving visions from a god, or if that was just another aspect of his personality manifesting itself.
hmm sounds oddly familiar from certain people in the real world. Reminds me of a cult of mentally ill people causing a riot last january but I can’t point my finger on who exactly 🤔🤔
I think you forgot all the “most peaceful riots/looting”, and all the morons protecting them from being criminally charged for the crimes they committed.
As for the film/trailer, I looked at it (as a non-marvel fan), and I thnk to myself WTF is this? It makes no sense at all? What if anything in this trailer wants me to see it?
The answer to that is…. nothing.
I heard all this talk about how hard it would be to bring Moon Knight to the screen… and it seems those talks were correct.
Not knowing this character, I look at the trailer and ask “WTF is this character?”
I have no f’ng idea!
I think you forgot all the “most peaceful riots/looting”, and all the morons protecting them from being criminally charged for the crimes they committed.
I didn’t, I just thougt this is not the right time for whataboutism since those are different kinds of thugs completely irrelevant to the quote. They were thugs yeah but not mentally unstable bible thumpers causing violence and mayhem because they believe their supreme leader is chosen by god. Different motivation, you see. I just found it ironic how the quote fit these ”revolutionary” losers.
The trailer gave me Batman vibes and it was pretty dark for MCU standards. Definitely gonna watch it, I’m pumped for this!
Except there was no violence, little mayhem and it was not a riot. Small minds may be totally brainwashed by the media, but honest people with common sense know better. You want to see a real aftermath, take a look at Minneapolis after Floyd and see entire blocks in flames and it looks like Dresden. Also, look at the trains being looted in Los Angeles. One meme that made me laugh was showing a janitor in Washington DC sweeping a couple of plastic bottles and the line was something like “look at all this damage!” There is talk that some of the prisoners are being assaulted and tortured in jails there. Tangentially, I almost expect James O’Keefe to end up like Julian Assange, which is, tortured and imprisoned for trying to get truth out.
Moon Knight, like other things in entertainment, is something that strikes my interest in terms of mystique and aesthetic, but try as I might, gotta agree with Legatus. I never liked things that are crazy with mental illness that glorify weirdos. Legion was the same way. I try to get into things that some fans are into, but it just does not click for me. It’s something to check out. Even my own threads have me questioning my own taste, as critics of Matrix and Witcher brought up many things I agreed with.
take a look at Minneapolis after Floyd
🥱🥱 your friend already tried whataboutism and I fully ackowledge their crimes, but unlike you, I can stay unbiased and not protect criminals because they are on your team.
Except there was no violence
you sure about that? Aren’t you supposed to be the people who root for ”facts and evidence”, but claim dumb shit like this when there is footage of the ape brain Trump stans breaking barricades and elbowing through police officers who clearly say no trespassing. Tell me, when they barricade the whole building and have 40 officers with riot shields blocking the pathway to the building constantly commanding you to fall back, does that mean you are allowed to enter? Well according to these monkeys yes, as they tried to breach through with the power of hundreds of people and yanked one officer (Mike Fannone you can look him up) into the crowd and beat him until he got concussion. And he was not the only one injured. Although some people did get to their senses and decided to retreat after that one idiot criminal got shot in the building after not obeying the law.
I can provide evidence for all my statements, I wanna see you prove that there was no violence. But I bet you can’t, you probably just listen like a good little brainwashed monkey to when your supreme commander Trump said there was no violence and believe he couldn’t possible ever tell a little lie.
I’m sorry @SuperSoynic_Speed but you’re having that typical sjw soyjak attitude here… this is the Moon Knight movie thread ffs… why da fuk would you start crying about the Jan 6 riots in here???? :/ seriously what the fuck… I enjoy your diverse opinions in other threads, it’s cool to have different opinions here so it doesnt become an echo chamber, but for real… why start shit with no reason? Are you feeling bored on twitter? :( :/ geez… dude… i was about to talk about the trailer… but reading this kind of unprovoked retarded shit in a thread about a movie is quite annoying.
Cheers ;D
One of my favorite writers actually ended up taking a job in government. He chuckled at the claim of violence, saying that the most armed population on the planet showed up and demonstrated and made a bunch of loud noise, but really, did little else. If they had wanted violence, you would know it and it wouldn’t be grappling over a barricade. The media and the parrots and puppets lied and claimed it was an armed insurrection, but no, that was false. They were unarmed. A buddy of mine who lets the media do his thinking for him did actually admit that, which was fine. It’s easy to go with the flow of media lies, but what is upsetting is how many friends went out and got their vaccines and booster shots like the media told them to. Total followers in a trance. Hypnotized and mesmerized by the peer pressure and group-think. I can totally relate to where people are coming from because I overdosed on media and entertainment until totally tuning out and stepping away years ago.
Moon Knight is a character that I am intrigued by, but really cannot support. Anything with Egypt intrigues me because yes, it does kind of go back to mythology and God, but I really don’t support the character because it’s not heroic to take ketamine and have schizophrenia. Don’t want people emulating that in a hero. Real heroes are the ones like Julian Assange, James O’Keefe and imprisoned protesters being tortured in jails, as they are the martyrs of our time who sacrifice themselves for truth and standing up for what is right.
Not even one problem in our country can be blamed on these activists because they are not in authority positions. It’s so easy to kick the little guy and blame the people who are not in media or government, which you see the political class doing. I used to be the same way, sucking up to the rich and powerful corporate types, thinking the pandering would be eavesdropped on and might lead to some spare crumbs, but it doesn’t work that way.
You are either in already or you are out. I won’t punch down or sideways anymore and, even if a person disagrees with me and it on the other side, they are not to blame if they are part of the masses because even their votes don’t matter in this system. They are just still true believers who have not realized that they are not part of rich, power structure. Truth is, I feel sorry for people. If real heroes like Pat Tillman or Chris Kyle died under mysterious circumstances after being some of our best troops, what are deep state gonna think of someone who does not measure up to that standard?
so it doesnt become an echo chamber
exactly why I pretty much only comment things that go against the common opinion here
Are you feeling bored on twitter?
a bit yeah. I usually discuss with people on both ends of the spectrum, usually left on twitter and right here and I can confidently say there are batshit crazy people on both sides when you go far enough, which is something the far left weirdos on twitter and far right weirdos here can’t accept and just blame on the other side for everything and turn a blind eye to the faults of their own.
He chuckled at the claim of violence
for example this. Either @comicsgate is lying, his 100% trustworthy ”favorite writer, trust me bro” is lying or just so far with his head up his ass that he can’t admit that there was violence when people got killed and badly injured with footage of it. I just don’t get why people try to explain away something that you can see happened. It’s mindblowing.
They were unarmed.
So it can’t be violent because no one used fire arms? Because the thugs started to use impromptu weapons like stolen riot shields, spears from metal bars and anything they could pick up and smack people with. If they actually used fire arms and started to shoot and kill dozens of cops and try to get in the fucking Capitol and possibly kill people inside there then it would’ve been a path with no coming back, which is why the cops avoided to open fire at the thugs becasue shit would’ve gone crazy for those mad apes.
About the show, I hope they go the dark route like the trailers suggest. The MCU is lacking in darker plotlines and an antihero so it would feel fresh, even tho I gotta admit I know nothing about Moon Knight. Altho I didn’t know about Shang Chi either, and it became ine of my favorite MCU movies so I’m going with an open mind as always
News media was already found guilty of lying about Nick Sandmann.
Same in the situation of lying about Kyle Rittenhouse.
The courts ruled against the media in both cases. Yet, some will believe them about Jan. 6th or on the covid vaccines.
One can only pity the followers of the power structure. Forgive them, for they know not what they do. Just the sheer ignorance. What makes me feel even more upset about it is that the youth do not know any better and how would they when every news source and school is controlled? Today, the youngest generation had to grow up in masks. Masked up those kids and programmed them with fear to beat down their minds. Program them for life to lash out at anyone who even questions the control structure.
People have their own tastes. I’ll tune in to Moon Knight with no expectations. I could not bring myself to go see Shang-Chi or Eternals. Just could not do that. Same with Matrix, which I started a thread on. It’s almost like some things naturally repulse me, like the G4 Frosk episode. You’d have to be a fool to listen to sexual harassment lectures from one of the least attractive people on TV. Repugnant. Again, one of those things I cannot even force myself to watch. It’s the same with something like Eternals. They’d have to pay me to watch it.

This is not related in any way. Steven Crowder, Ben Shapiro and other sources of ”information” on the right have also lied, manipulated statistic and said dumb shit to push their narrative. But in this instance I said I can show raw footage of violence happening, and asked if anyone can show evidence about no violence whataoever happening, as you all claim.
Saying ”uhhh crowder said the media lied so idk they probably lie about this thing too, idk you’re a brainwashed sheep if you think there was any violence” is not of any service. Why is it so damn hard for these self proclaimed ”free thinkers” to watch the raw footage and say their unbiased opinion? Like god damn the amount of mental gymnastics you guys have to do to avoid responsibility and deflecting the blame and topic somewhere else with your ”look at what blm did”.

Asians have been wearing masks for a long time during epidemics and flu seasons, nothing new here.
I could not bring myself to go see Shang-Chi or Eternals.
I get that some people had a meltdown over the Eternals cast change, but why are Jeremy, The Quartering and other outrage merchants on youtube and their conservative friends pissing their pants and screeching about Shang Chi so hard? What part of Shang Chi was so woke that it ruins your experience? I thought it was one of the best MCU movies with great kung fu combat, I’d any day watch a superhero movie like that over Captain Marvel, Superman or any other boring character that flies and shoots beams 🥱 I also watched Eternals but it was pretty bad, not because ”reeee it’s woke” but it was a mess and doesn’t fit into the MCU in my opinion
