That is really interesting. I was obsessed with Moon Knight in middle/high school, I have the entire 2006 series run. I always wondered if they would end up doing this, and I'm real curious how it's going to be executed. MK has had some real weird shit in it

Wonder how risky this'll be. I hope they embrace the weirdness Spazz just mentioned!

Weird? I like weird ... O _ O Oh yeah, they really go off the rails later on. His alter egos literally become alternate personalities, he's haunted by the god of the moon who appears as various apparitions, including Bushman, a rival mercenary who MK murdered. (He also skinned his face off) Bushman does wise cracks and such, drips blood everywhere, encourages him to kill, ya know. MK also gets tortured a lot. Oh there's also another series where he runs a TV show, and thinks he's Wolverine, Spiderman, and Captain America! That's just scratching the surface. His arc is generally him trying really hard to learn not to indiscriminately murder people, and not go Crazy™. (generally) Alas, not the most sensitive treader in the realm of mental health portrayal, and extremely violent lol. As Web said, I am very curious how Marvel is gonna work their way around this one. My guess would be well, safely, and just revive the older series narratives where he's more just a supernatural Batman with a mercenary past. However, while I am critical of certain aspects of MK, and kind of find the later series to just be comically edgy nowadays, I really do hope Marvel takes this chance to at least step outside the box just a bit. Moon Knight is a strange character of middling beginnings who they got real wild with, and never really pushed that hard but, he still bumped elbows with all the big guys. Especially during the Civil War. He's also probably a moderately? recognizable? like, B? C? tier guy? I think? There's some expectation but, largely they could really do whatever they wanted.

Wait, you're on Facebook Spazz? Or did you add yourself lopli? The world may never know... Anywho, I'd like to add you on what is now considered "old people's social media". *The points right back at me too, as the geriatric member of this forum.

No worries. Heaven forbid this place ever shut down, but until then, it's a nice social space up in these parts.
To steer this back on topic, I'm excited for this show mainly because I just don't know enough about Moon Knight. Sure, I could go on YouTube and Wikipedia and Marvel's Wiki, but I kind of just want to go in as I am.

I only really know fragments of him from Marvel Knights. I just remember him teaming up with spider-man is all

Yeah, he's awesome. So, will we ever get Keanu Reeves in the MCU? I'm wondering when this show will come out. Hopefully we're not waiting as long as LOTR fans have been waiting on Amazon.
