Searched for a show thread and couldn't find one, so I figured I'd get one started, with just under an hour to go before the premiere...

Sure wish there was a second episode released tonight. Thought it needed a little more time to really hook me. A bit underwhelmed by the premier.

Yeah it took a bit to get going, but Oscar Isaac was just absolutely chewing the scenery while his character was slowly going more and more nuts. This is gonna be a fun show.

I don't know why but Moon Knight hooked me big time back in the teen years (late 80s), so I'm very excited for this one!

Enjoyed the first episode and looking forward to watching the series play out. The flashes reminded me of the Globetrotters episode of Futurama.

Way better than I expected. I was expecting generic spookiness, a few jump scares and mostly just wasting your time with intrigue and not plot development.

I guess you can get a lot done with only one character to focus on.

your post helped me temper my expectations, but yeah, this has some potential. i really enjoyed that episode. i also like that I don't really know anything about the character, so it's just going to be a fun ride (hopefully).

The big question is....is there a mid- or post-credits scene?

Nice opening episode. Built out the character of Mark well without giving away too much. Also introduced a villain and made him interesting and menacing without having a ton of backstory. Most of the trailer footage was from this first episode as well, so the rest of the series is pretty much unexplored.

No, but, according to Screen Crush" the graphics during the credits do give some backstory.

Enjoyed the first episode. Liked how they handled the personality shifts in the beginning. Ethan Hawke already has the makings of a great villain. Glad they have Oscar Isaac for this. I think the guy is just a fantastic actor. Really looking forward to more episodes.

It was ok but I couldn't help and think "this would be so much better as a Jake Johnson show"

Looking forward to watching this tonight. Hope it's not too scary for the kids. They are getting older, but they can have money for either college or therapy, not both

No mensuration. So it's family friendly

Interesting first show. I know nothing about the character or villains related to him, so we'll see where it goes.

I thought it was a pretty good opener, had just a great weird horror vibe. Kinda has some Lovecraft type tones.

Yeah, that was pretty good. Just the right amount of funny, weird, creepy, and intriguing. I really loved the structure of only seeing the events from Steven's point of view, but then revealing Moon Knight in the end. That was really smart, and gave us a nice little character arc, with Steven finally letting go and allowing Mark to take over. It was also nice to have one of these Disney+ Marvel series be an actual origin story for once. Really looking forward to seeing where it goes from here.

I love sh-t like this, and I know nothing about Moon Knight. I can't imagine deciding to give myself an ankle restraint rather than see a Dr about my sleep walking, or whatever it is Steven thought he had.

Can't wait for more.

Also, had to mention how well acted it was, by Oscar Isaac. His Steven persona was so atypical to what I have come to expect from him.

For anybody who watched the first episode, think there will be any connection to the larger MCU or will this probably be an independent series? If it's the latter, I'm just going to wait and binge them all. Easier to consume that way.

Yes but I don't think it will be one of those things where Iron Fist randomly shows up or whatever.

Every other series (the new ones done by Marvel) have tied in directly to the MCU in pretty major ways:

Wandavision --> Dr Strange
Loki --> Kang the Conqueror, Multiverse timelines
Hawkeye --> Kingpin, Lots of references to the Avengers

So I'd say this will do the same. Haven't watched yet, but I would guess it will connect to Blade and Black Knight (Jon Snow's character).

i'm hoping Moon Knight is actually the one that connects the MCU to Star Wars and that Poe Dameron is one of Moon Knights personalities

The ScreenCrush guy thinks it'll eventually connect to Blade in some way as well, along with a new Ghost Rider at some point too. Basically, it feels like it could potentially be setting up a new corner of the MCU, and all the more supernatural stuff.
Duncan Idaho

The more supernatural stuff that doesn't include (checks notes) scarlet witch and sorcerer supreme

Timeline is way off for that to occur.
