Every Marvel TV show on Disney+, ranked from worst to best
6.?Moon Knight
Marvel?s latest Disney+ series,?Moon Knight, is worth the watch. First and foremost, this series did its homework on Egyptian culture and tradition. Not only did it bring on Egyptian writers, directors, and actors to make it as authentic as possible, it also incorporated cultural elements into the background music, the language, and production design. I was simply in awe of how genuine everything felt. As a Pakistani American, this makes me feel very excited for?Ms. Marvel, who is a younger Muslim Pakistani superhero living in New Jersey.
Anyway, for those that have not yet watched?Moon Knight, it follows a man named Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac) who finds himself grappling with multiple personalities, one of which — Marc Spector — is the avatar for an Egyptian god named Khonshu. There’s no shortage of twists and turns in this series, and the performances from Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke (who plays the villain) are top-of-the-line excellent.
While Moon Knight doesn?t rank as my number one favorite Marvel Disney+ series, I did enjoy that it took a different approach. The show has almost no references to the wider MCU, so we were able to spend quality time with a completely new character; it was nice to sit back and enjoy the series rather than theorize about what guest star might pop up. Moon Knight is a wild adventure through the mind of Steven Grant. More often than not it leaves the audience in the dark about what’s going on…and I loved it.
Isaac?s performance as multiple characters is tremendous. You never have a question of which personality he’s embodying at the moment; you could see the switch turn off and on every time he teeter-totters between identities. It?s unlike anything I?ve seen before (except for maybe James McAvoy?s performance in?Split), and it continually bowled me over.
The future of?Moon Knight?is unknown, but given the way it ended, there’s more story to tell. Whatever Marvel decides, I am here for it!
