The God never had any plans to take an avatar in Marc’s wife, Layla (May Calamawy), rather it appears he had Jake in his arsenal.Įarlier in the episode, Harrow unleashes the alligator Goddess Ammit. Harrow gets in the backseat where he’s sitting across from Khonshu. Harrow, in a wheelchair, is wheeled by Harrow out to the Rolls Royce. In the epilogue, we see Ethan Hawke’s cult leader Arthur Harrow (who has been Ammit’s avatar) is punished to the Asylum realm where Steven and Marc have been imprisoned toward the latter part of this season. Left to Right: Steven Grant and Khonshu MarvelĮssentially, Khonshu wins in the season one finale. It’s just another personality Moon Knight/Khonshu can pull from.Įssentially the character reveal indicates that there’s bound to be a second season of Moon Knight. Who is he? He’s a rough-around-the edges cab driver (seen here tonight behind the wheel of a Rolls Royce) who’s highly connected in the criminal underworld. We learn that the superhero has a third personality, in addition to Marc Spector and Steven Grant (both played by Oscar Isaac) and we see that’s Jake Lockley. This leads us to tonight’s grabber in the coda of Moon Knight. While such precious shenanigans delights fanboys, how about, Marvel, we call a duck a duck, and just simply tell us who the heck she is and why her cameo is so important?! All it takes is a few more seconds of dialogue. The latest example of Marvel keeping the general populous of dummies in the dark, is in the first epilogue of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness where a female action star shows up as a new superhero colleague to Doctor Strange (we’ll leave it to Google to tell you who she is). In regards to complexities in the Disney+/Marvel series, perhaps that’s part of the streamer’s algorithm: To confuse and Easter egg-out viewers to the point where they need to rewatch episodes continually. Improv guru Del Close used to preach to his students to play their comedy at the top of their intelligence, but when Marvel plays to the 1% who truly know who these comic book characters are, what hope is there, Disney, in crossing these projects beyond the faithful to a greater audience? Should Doctor Strange 2‘s opening grosses come in lower than expected ($160M+ domestic, $300M WW), it’s only because the confusion that ensues in the sequel doesn’t play broadly. But can we get some dooming Kang cameos? Anywhere? (L-R): Xochitl Gomez as America Chavez, Benedict Wong as Wong, and Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. And throughout all of this, where the heck is the new multiverse baddie, Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror? I know, I know, Moon Knight isn’t connected to the greater multiverse motif that’s being established (at least at this point in time).
