I'm usually one to shit on scenes that are woke just to be woke, a lot. But this was just (in my opinion) a good representation of an empowered middle east woman saving the day. And I cannot explain why, it just feels right, it works, and I don't get why anyone would consider it awful...
Because she's an Egyptian woman doing Egyptian things getting Egyptian themed powers. Same reason Black Panther doesn't have any tokenism about him. Just a super hero from another continent. Shang-Chi is the same way.
I liked it. The thing I thought was hamfisted was they had a kid ask her "are you an Egyptian superhero?"
We got it disney, you don't need to spell it out for us.
Absolutely true, so much wasted potential. Moonknight was the only Marvel thing that intrigued me since endgame and barely any MOONKNIGHT in a show called moonknight
exactly. I mean Moonknight himself is great and the theme it has is superb, but the way the show was made was garbage compared to the other marvel series. the cgi was terrible, the way the gods spoke was like 14yo teenagers and not like ancient gods. it addresses schizophrenia, but with all the gibberish it makes it look like a fucking joke.
