Review of Moon Knight

Moon Knight (2022)
3/10
Superhero with mental issues
18 May 2022
The moon is beautiful and knights can be cool. But the Moon Knight has nothing of each. It is a confusing and boring show for which I needed two months to get through.

There are Egyptian Gods who somehow need avatars to act on Earth. Some of them want to punish the evil but there are philosophical dilemmas here. Ammit wants to eliminate those who will do evil in the future which results in the killing of a lot of people.

Our main guy wants to prevent this but he has problems with himself, getting blackouts and changing his character through and through. Somehow, he can also manifest abilities which is when he becomes the so-called Moon Knight. It'll turn out that these will apparently all be related to some mental illness with childhood issues but the entire revelation just seems contrived and unappealing.

The fighting is absolutely boring and it is not really clear what abilities the heroes even have. The villains are boring as well and Ammit has done basically nothing even though she was so feared upon.

Oh, and there is a talking female hippopotamus.

Yeah, nothing of the story ever remotely peaked my interest and I was a little confused by the attempted revelations in the last two episodes. The finale was very weak, there was a lot of build-up, but it was building up towards nothing. Bummer.
