Hot take: I wasn’t impressed by the Moonknight series. It was actually kinda boring.

I would say that the highlight of the whole series was Oscar Isaac’s acting. He was very believable and it was crazy seeing him play two roles and can tell the obvious difference between the characters.

The reveal at the end that there was a third persona was pretty good too. But other than that, everything else about the show fell flat to me. It didn’t even feel like it was in the same universe as all the other MCU projects. It was just all around confusing. Maybe I’ll get it better if I rewatch it.

Overall, I’ll give this series a 6, maybe a 6.5 out of 10. I would like to see his character again at some point but I’m not really looking forward to a second season.

Lies

Live_Answer_38752025-11-06 05:42

Agreed. They cut away from all of the action until the very last episode. Weird creative decision.

Special_Kestrels2025-11-06 05:47

Probably a budget decision

ChaoticReality2025-11-06 05:42

Yeah the big climax was underwhelming. Had cool aura but didn't live up.

danohaggard2025-11-06 05:42

I agree. I wanted to like it but didn't see all the hype. I wanted a more street level hero like Daredevil and Punisher.

FewWatermelonlesson02025-11-06 05:45

The sad thing is had they waited a few years later until the current restructuring we’re seeing of Marvel’s TV division, we could’ve gotten a pretty kickass gritty, street-level Moon Knight that was just as brutal as Feige was hyping it up as before the premier.

As it is, what we got suffered from the obsession with putting big world-ending stakes in projects that don’t need them, not unlike Ms. Marvel and Shang-Chi, which had the same problem.

A person calling their own take hot is a convenient way to alert me I'm about to read some bullshit

hell20_2025-11-06 05:48

If the person didn't address it as a "hot take" it'd still be bullshit for you.

Subject-Ad50712025-11-06 06:03

“Every opinion that isn’t praise for what I like is bullshit” is what a lot of what you fans think.

morphballganon2025-11-06 06:05

"Kinda boring" and "fell flat" are the extent of OP's criticisms.

The post is *bullshit* because it lacks substance, not because I liked the show.

Subject-Ad50712025-11-06 06:30

Alright, I jumped to conclusions. Tbf, I’m gonna defend him by pointing out not everyone has time to write a whole review. Also, if you write a review, sometimes you’ll get “too long” or “a whole lot of nothing”. Believe me, I wrote long and short reviews on here. Even my long ones are “not long enough” sometimes. If people want a whole review, just watch a video review. Or you have to make one. I don’t know why everyone expects such long and detailed posts on social media. If you have a life, you don’t have time. I choose my life over writing long posts.

morphballganon2025-11-06 07:24

That's all fine. But then why post?

Subject-Ad50712025-11-06 07:31

Your comment isn’t a good idea because it says every hot take is bound to be bad.

morphballganon2025-11-06 07:37

That is not what I said. Try again.

N7orbust2025-11-06 18:39

Reddit isn't there just to appease you. And a person doesn't even HAVE to have a long thought out reason for disliking something. If I found something boring and uninteresting and was talking about it, I probably wouldn't have a million examples to give buv that doesn't stop the fact that that feeling is what I felt when watching the show. And all I owe others is however much I'm willing to share. Stop trying to low-key gatekeep just because you clicked on a post you didn't like. 😘

morphballganon2025-11-06 18:45

Everything you're saying here is exactly right.

A person CAN post bullshit. And I CAN berate and/or block them for doing so 😘

N7orbust2025-11-06 19:04

You are entitled to your entitled opinion.

Wooden-Radish-90082025-11-06 06:47

This isnt even remotely what their comment said or even implied?

Shabbadoo10152025-11-06 15:15

My issue is anyone quantifying their post as a hot take. It’s like, just state your opinion. Support that opinion and move on. Maybe that’s nitpicking over semantics or wording here. But for me, starting a post as a hot take, at this point, signals to me that we are just trying to get a reaction out of responders and not necessarily sharing a well thought out opinion. Comes off as a bad faith way of starting a discussion.

And that’s not in defense of the show. I found it entertaining. But certainly not my favorite MCU media by a long stretch (though I do like the concept of Moon Knight and woukd love to see him return).

Barokespinoza232025-11-06 05:49

I actually enjoyed it. As a DC guy, I find it hilarious how Marvel keeps one-upping DC on almost everything, now including Egyptian mythos, before DC even gets a chance to further develop the Hawkman-Hawkgirl ancient Egypt connection on tv or film.

justalittlebear012025-11-06 05:56

Glad to know i'm not alone. I wanted to like it, but it just wasnt good. It and secret invasion are the only tv projects i couldnt be bothered to complete.

Subject-Ad50712025-11-06 06:04

Not a good idea to criticize anything on this subreddit.

Wooden-Radish-90082025-11-06 06:49

That's funny, my experience is the exact opposite. Not a good idea to enjoy anything on this subreddit.

Subject-Ad50712025-11-06 06:55

This fandom, at least when I’m on for some reason thinks this franchise can’t do anything wrong… I looked at the Peggy Carter Elektra and it looks like most of the sane people saw the post because anyone who commented an hour later with criticism got downvoted. My god you love Peggy Carter Elektra. And that concept art looked shit. My fucking god this fandom is wack.

You guys probably look at Secret Invasion and think pretty good lmao.

Wooden-Radish-90082025-11-06 07:21

This comment kind of sums mine up, lol.

Subject-Ad50712025-11-06 07:23

You guys would be okay to enjoy stuff if you didn’t force the opinion that it’s “peak” or the “best” and attacking anyone who says otherwise… You guys bring this on yourselves, too. I can’t post any criticism posts without getting attacked and “how dare you.” And you wonder why people call fans that do this cuckoo.

Wooden-Radish-90082025-11-06 07:35

I feel like you don't really know enough about me to be lashing out at me like this

Subject-Ad50712025-11-06 08:02

You’re defending who you think are just people enjoying and loving stuff when that’s not true. Those people aren’t content to just enjoy the MCU. You can look at any post I made reviewing say Thunderbolts. People are not content with my having my opinion even if it’s mostly not opinion based. If fans like that are content with that, they’d just say whatever I liked it at most and that’s it. But you criticize say Zombies as being crap and they order in the troops.

Wooden-Radish-90082025-11-06 08:09

I think you would be better suited explaining all this to a therapist. No one should be this angry about people's opinion on the internet. Good lord.

Subject-Ad50712025-11-06 08:12

You don’t know me enough to say that either…

I am justified because I see that almost no one can criticize this franchise on this subreddit without big backlash.

Wooden-Radish-90082025-11-06 08:28

I know that youre going on long, angry, self victimizing rants about other people not caring about your opinion enough. Thats all I need to know to know youre not all that healthy

matty_nice2025-11-06 06:38

It suffers from the same problems as the other shows. It's too long. It's 6 episodes, 4.5 hours long. Cut it down to 4 episodes, 3 hours long and you got a great series.

There's a lot that can be cut out, like the Sacrab lady stuff and even the wife/love interest stuff. Throw in a Dr Strange cameo at the end and it could be great.

Quality, not quantity.

Correct-Chemistry6182025-11-06 09:05

I really liked the character, one of the most interesting in the post-End Game MCU. It's a shame he was wasted in a story that was an Indiana Jones clone.

N8CCRG2025-11-06 15:29

The series starts *great*, but the middle feels like it was 3 or 4 episodes chopped up and spliced together to make 2 episodes.

Endgam2025-11-06 21:49

"Hot take: I don't like unpopular thing!"

.....Does anyone know what "hot take" actually means anymore?

shotbydarrell2025-11-06 23:10

What would you consider a hot take? I’ve always thought it was the same as an unpopular opinion. Emphasis on opinion lol
