Is ‘Moon Knight’ Marvel’s Weakest Series?

Date:

The reception of the jump to the real image of this superhero has been good from the fatal fans of the Cinematic Universe of the House of Ideas, although the result seems annoying

While the influencers, streamers, youtubers or whatever we want to call the prescribers of the new millennium aren’t biting the hand that feeds them, it’s smart to let every Marvel-labeled production go through the roof – with the exception of the involuntary share of the Sony label, with B-series nonsense like ‘Morbius’ that will win over time-, some outcasts of today’s cultural journalism, veterans with perforated brains and weary minds, we find ourselves in an almost moral obligation to was to air an audiovisual invasion of irregular quality that has an unbeatable promotional campaign when we talk about La Casa de las Ideas. Thanks to social networks and our need to share what’s trending in our profiles instead of supporting those who really need it, that colleague with worries and their ingenious crowdfunding, there are proposals that sell themselves and dance the water for multinationals. ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ has revived the box office, thanks to the touch of Sam Raimi. A few days before its premiere, the first season of ‘Moon Knight’, arguably the most overrated series from the great team, ended. After a fun and hopeful pilot chapter, the turn of events was tedious and revealed itself as an undercover remake of ‘The Mummy’ -closer to Tom Cruise than Brendan Fraser, far from Universal-, unable to reap the benefits of launching. funny. While we’re disregarding the vignettes, because every medium is a world, we already know that, the fact that the comics explain his personality disorder to you in just a few pages, while his jump to the real picture takes a full season. , and we don’t make it quite clear, it says a lot about the result.

Aside from that, why is Doctor Strange no longer Doctor Strange and Moon Knight translated as Moon Knight? One of the great mysteries of the present. Mass finally became the Hulk to make the sale of toys and merchandising universal, but there is no clear policy with a subject so present in our lives. Returning to the Disney + star series, after the ironic break, it must be remembered that Oscar Isaac is fully engaged in trying to reflect, sometimes by drawing accented faces, the dissociative personality of the main character, whose duality does not go well narratively. , although it works on other levels. You immediately feel in his role, with a promising beginning, but the development of his different existential variants does not stop stumbling over itself. The reflection of mental health issues is scarce, and we’re not at all for the Marc Spector of the comics, and he needs it. ‘Moon Knight’ entangles and pretends to be psychologically dense so that the viewer feels intelligent, something Christopher Nolan manages to do very well, although the audience isn’t exactly in front of an intelligent show. The first steps of the story are on the right track, the portrait of the main character is endearing, but the plot evolution seems extremely boring any way you look at it, unless we embrace the fandom in a sectarian plan with a connection to the eyes (an option as valid as any other).

“Moon Knight” doesn’t take advantage of the path opened by “Legion,” a commendable adaptation of another Marvel header with which it shares points in some passages, and squeezes Egyptian mythology with questionable willpower. The villain embodied by Ethan Hawke fades, deepens just enough and that attempt to emulate Indiana Jones looking in the mirror of ‘Fight Club’, as Isaac himself pointed out in an interview, doesn’t end with getting married, with a very discreet season finale. . Perhaps it is the weakest series in the Marvel catalog, within the famous canon. Hopefully a werewolf will appear in his continuation, right?

‘Moon Knight’ is available on Disney+.
