40. Moon Knight S1E3 Discussion This is the Way Phase Four

    • Nos bastidores

If you ever see the sky spinning at the speed of light at night, it might be Khonshu to blame. We get appearances from Moon Knight, Mr. Knight, Marc Spector, and Steven Grant in this episode AND a pretty big indication we have yet to meet another of Marc's persona non grata. Spector went on a nice little "treasure hunt" for clues to where Harrow would be digging, but kept coming up short. Khonshu signaled for a meeting of the Ennead "eclipse" style and got a dressing down from the five laziest gods on the planet. Maybe Harrow should just run for office if his run-around answer to "Why are you in the desert?" is so readily accepted by supernatural beings. Mere mortals wouldn't have a chance. In the end, the search for Ammit's ushabti by Arthur was allowed to continue while the creation of Khonshu's ushabti happened right before our eyes.

Are we really watching a battle between these lazy gods that just LOOKS like it's between Arthur and Marc? Maybe the Ennead's three triads have been broken and we're seeing some power plays against Osiris and Isis. Those were a lot of ushabti's sitting there in the great chamber. Cross Selim and get chiseled? Maybe Hathor has the hots for one of the gods and our hearts just aren't light enough to be invited to that celestial party. Maybe Arthur is (gasp!) right and releasing Ammit will only be bad for the Ennead. What if Khonshu's quest for justice SHOULD end with his imprisonment? Three episodes remain to clear up questions and for the host of this podcast, a clear connection to the MCU's Phase Four needs to happen or this is just another exercise in wasting time.

Music appreciation time! "Batwanes Beek" from Warda gets sampled by DJ Kaboo for "Enta" and it's beat begins and ends the episode for us. We also hear again from Abdel Halim Hafez, this time "Shaghalouny", another of Hathor's love songs, perhaps? "Walima" by Tito Rinesi gives us some street sound and "Salka" from Hassan Shakosh gets some ferry goers dancing on the way to Anton's house party.
