Episode 4 Review



The 4th episode of Moon Knight begins with Layla trying to wake Stephen, who fainted in the sand after all the Khonshu disaster last week.  







 Khonsu falls into a trap and is followed by Layla, who is placed inside the pyramid, and several demonic jeeps follow her and shoot her. Layla lights a torch, throws it into a jeep, ignites bullets, and then it all explodes and saves the day.



  When Stephen is now awake, the couple sets off in their jeeps and goes to the drilling site, where they find him completely abandoned.  






Mark Steven warns that without Khonshu, this is bad news for everyone. There are no more therapeutic or fashionable costumes; Mark wants control.

  Steven refuses to surrender his body, but he tells Layla that Mark is protecting him because Khonshu wanted to turn him into an avatar. Deciding that honesty is the best medicine, their conversation soon turns into a serious awkward kiss.




  In any case, it did not take long for both of them to go deep into the tomb. As expected when Stephen sees these Egyptian jewels, they both run away completely before they decide to go down to the depths.  






As they descend into this maze, the couple realizes that the whole structure is a symbol. A pattern set like the Eye of Horus, which protects the next life. Now the Eye of Horus is also a six-sensory organ, and through some expositions we learn everything about our senses (thanks Stephen) and conclude that the tongue is actually Ammit's voice.




  In front of it there are "flesh pieces" and an altar full of blood. However, the sound of gunfire from afar causes both of them to hide. A body is brought to the camera by a strange creature.




  Both Stephen and Leila are forced to flee, and the latter must cross the narrow slit to the other side; the creature slowly comes upon him. Although he went to the other side, he was killed in the dark.




  Not only is the killer Leyla the main character, but she also has a lot of armor, so naturally she fights the creature, using another torch to scan it and lower it to the depths below.  







Interestingly, Harrow is watching from a distance by chance, and he says that Layla managed it well. He also tells some stories about his father that shook him. In particular, Arthur reveals that Leyla's father was killed by mercenaries. And it seems that Mark is part of them.




  Meanwhile, Stephen manages to come across the tomb of Alexander the Great. By opening it (making sure to apologize to Mr. Great in the process!), He finds a mummified body inside, but no ushabti.




  Given that Alexandra is Ammit's voice, she understands that it is in her mouth. Steven finally finds it, but there's a problem.




  Layla gets angry and wants to know what happened to her father. Mark manages Stephen, promising not to kill his father. Mark was there and saw what was happening.  






Mark Greedy Partner

Mark's partner was greedy and killed everyone at the drilling site. Mark tried to save her, but it was too late. In fact, he was shot by his partner. That's why Mark finally met for the first time.





  Harrow and his men appear with guns and surround Mark. Since Moon is unable to use the Knight's suit, given that it is associated with Khonshu, Harrow pulls out several guards before hitting him in the chest with a pistol. Steven enters the water and probably dies.





  When Mark wakes up, he finds himself in a white psychiatric ward. Inspired by the Legion. Layla is also there, and Harrow is responsible for mastering the various characters.

  Of course, there are hints that not everything that is characterized by Egyptian architecture and surrounding jewelry is right. Mark soon realizes what happened, as memories begin to return.  




 Mark frees Stephen from the sarcophagus in one of the rooms and travels to the psychiatric ward. There is someone else in the next room; someone inside is beating to get out.

  The couple ignores this and instead finds themselves face to face with one of the gods, seeing the face of the behemoth no less. This is Taweret, the goddess of birth and fertility in ancient Egypt. "Hello!" He says with joy.  






Moon Knight Surreal Episode

 So Moon Knight returns this week with a bizarre and surreal episode that almost feels like a simple version of Legion.

  The whole stage of the mental ward is beautifully shot with beautiful cinematography. The problem is that everything has been done before. This does not even touch on the strangeness of the Doom Patrol or the Legion, which more boldly welcomed the Moon Knight's pedal-turning ideas.  




Instead, the series is very similar to The Mummy, but with the charisma of Oscar Isaac, it lasted for 6 episodes.






Dual Role

  His dual role as Mark and Stephen is fantastic, and if I bet, I would imagine there was a third person. This is something we ridicule throughout the season, but the appearance of another thunderous sarcophagus proves it.





  Anyway, in the end a great explanation about hippo is a very nice moment and the sound is also perfect. Although Layla's use of torches to get out of any situation is less ridiculous, she feels a little lazy on the writing front.

  Moon Knight has been a bit confusing so far, but we have to wait and see what the last 2 seasons await us.
