MOON NIGHT
This week, I finally watched what turned out to be one of my favorite Marvel shows so far, MOON KNIGHT (trailer here). The show stars none other than the extraordinarily talented Oscar Isaac, alongside iconic supporting actors like Ethan Hawke and May Calamawy. The show is about a man who has Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and is battling with two identities: Marc Spector and Stephen Grant. Their lives eventually become intertwined when Marc’s identity becomes a superhero vigilante called Moon Knight. I loved how the show was able to tackle the subject of mental health in an entertaining way while simultaneously not creating stigma around the disorder. Most of the show takes place in the Egyptian desert where the characters go on adventures to find clues to defeat evil wrongdoers. The show consists of hilarious sequences of Oscar Isaac going in and out of English and American accents while playing Stephen Grant and Marc Spector. Not only is the humor in the show on point, but the action sequences are incredibly impressive and the CGI is other-worldly (quite literally).
