MOON KNIGHT EPISODE 4 | Tomb of Alexander the GREAT

Moon Knight episode 4 â€" out now on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar â€" was yet another humdrum episode of a TV show that"s made a habit of them, but by the end of it, I was left more intrigued than I have been so far with the Oscar Isaac-led Marvel Cinematic Universe series. Of course, I"m also cautiously optimistic owing to multiple factors. For one, just two episodes are left in Moon Knight"s run. Dealing with a major distraction while also figuring out its endgame will be a lot to do in two episodes, moreso for a series that has routinely given us episodes in which barely anything happens for 50 minutes. Moon Knight hasn"t instilled any confidence in its abilities yet, but it could still suddenly produce something wholly brilliant and pathbreaking. It"s not as though what Moon Knight might be doing is that unique to begin with. Moon Knight episode 4 ends by suggesting that Marc Spector (Isaac) has been essentially dreaming everything so far. He"s just a patient at a psychiatric hospital, where he got the idea of the Steven Grant personality from an ‘80s movie playing on TV, and everyone else we"ve come to know is just a fellow patient or a member of the staff. To me, this sounds like Marvel Studios riffing on Legion"s series premiere â€" Noah Hawley"s visually inventive FX superhero series that started out in a mind-boggling fashion â€" except with the script flipped in a way. Or is it? We"ll only know once we see next week"s Moon Knight episode 5. I really hope Moon Knight creator Jeremy Slater knows what he"s doing, because otherwise Moon Knight is going to end up at the bottom of the MCU Disney+ pile where it already belongs. Moon Knight episode 4 â€" directed by Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson, and written by Michael Kastelein â€" opens where we left off, inside the Great Pyramid of Giza. Osiris"s Avatar Selim (Khalid Abdalla) places the stone Khonshu, trapped in what"s known as a ushabti, near an earthen lamp. As Selim walks away and the camera pulls back, we see how many other gods have seemingly been imprisoned in stone over the years.
