This episode and maybe the show as well just seems less polished than I'm used to

That episode was a bit of a mess.

I noticed the dedication at the end but didn't know the story

It's the worst show I could ever imagine Marvel making…

I hate that game. if not for discord friends and my boyfriend I'd be very over it.

I have a decent Shang chi.

Morgan Le Fay, What if Dr stange, 4 horseman of nose., mornings, Dr voodoo, all the releases now.

I feel like your first line describes just about everyone who still plays it at the late game level. They manage to take a fun core loop and bury it beneath a lot of bull**** game modes, unfun mechanics, overpriced packs, and buggy code.

Regarding the actual show, I found the episode fun, but I was distracted, so missed a chunk of it, so need to go back and rewatch it.

I don't know how I feel about the Moon Knight suit as a whole. It looks a little weird (hoods are hard to pull off) IMO, hearing Isaac's regular voice in it is weird, and it does the whole "turn off the mask for a dramatic moment thing, then back on before the action" trope too. Also - he can just get impaled and he's fine? And he has some enhanced strength?

Just kind of weird. It makes sense to make it mystic in origin rather than your standard Batman "make your own suit" thing - but its capabilities getting more and more vague and undefined as we go on.

Suit heals him. Looks like for now, he's lost his powers, so there will actually be stakes to the fights now until he frees Khonsu.

I liked this episode and I'm really liking this series.

One thing that would normally bother me but in clearly in Phase 4 we need to just let some stuff go, is the eclipse and the night sky thing, I guess we're assuming those were both illusions? He didn't actually like, move the moon. And he certainly didn't rearrange the stars.

I took the "trial" scene to basically be like the other gods were mad they were brought there, don't believe Khonshu anyway, and just wanted to get the whole thing over with. They didn't notice the tattoo because they weren't even looking.

The third personality, which we did see in this episode, is interesting in that both Mark and Steven seem to think it's each other.

The line that he (paraphrasing) "had it under control until recently" makes me think the blip theory from a page ago might have some possibilities.

I like this series. Perhaps me having zero expectations is why it has been so easy to enjoy?

Moving the sky was an illusion of course, but big enough that everyone else saw it too. They showed random people in the city reacting to it.

I think the other gods are just d*uchebags when don't want to be bothered by petty human stuff.

When did we see the third personality? I must have missed it/not realized it.

And Oscar Issac is American, so Marc is his correct accent? I think the whole "talking to each other in reflections" thing is cool, and shows what a good actor he is.

Steven and Mark kept arguing about who was doing the killing in the knife fights and both of them claimed innocence.

---

Ah OK, yeah, I do remember that. Thanks.

When he kills 2 of the 3 guys in the desert. Marc comes to and asks Steven what happened. Steven says it wasn't him.

EDIT: jeffk already answered.

This also makes it seem like it was probably personality 3 that killed those people (including Layla's father?) that the fake policemen were talking about when they picked Mark/Steven up last episode.

I'm leaning toward Marc probably being framed for the killing of Layla's father. Something happened and he ended up with some sort of trauma that ended with making a deal with Khonshu. Khonshu probably lied to him about whatever happened and convinced him that he killed Layla's father.

Did Marc actually ever see Harrow doing the scale tattoo thing? It was it only through Steven's POV? I assumed Marc didn't know about it, so that's why he did not bring it up at the trial. But you would still think a god would realize someone was tapping into another god's power.

That could kinda still be true even if it was a third personality that actually did it. Marc obviously doesn't realize there is this third personality, so he might think he did it.

Trial was lame, just needs to say that he has the scarab and that they are out there digging.

Also, since everyone portals to the trial, why not follow harrow back thru his portal?
