Fresh Take - Moon Knight Ep 6 Gods and Monsters Season Finale Thoughts

 Available on Disney Plus

Thoughts

If you watched the Fresh Take podcast last Sunday I said that I thought this was going to be one of the longer episodes of the season. I  was completely wrong. This episode is in fact the shortest episode of the season. The episode begins where episode 5 left off with Marc in the Field of Reeds. This whole season I thought they did a great job on the CG and this episode is a little more CG-heavy. With Ammit being freed you know that there is going to be a titanic battle and the episode pretty much gets right to it. Layla is back and she gets her own upgrade which I thought was a good addition, I just wish it would have happened a little sooner. I really wish we could have gotten to see a little more of Ammit and some of the other Egyptian gods. I liked how they adapted some of them for this story but I also feel that it was a missed opportunity. The fight choreography in this episode was very well done. It just looked so smooth and I kinda liked how it ended, kinda. I'll explain more on the podcast on Sunday. 

There are a couple things that I didn't like about the episode. The main thing being with the fact that I felt like it was rushed. The episode is forty-four minutes long and it just felt like something was missing. I don't know if they had to deal with certain time constraints but I thought that this episode could have used an extra 10-15 minutes.

For Parents

This episode is your standard Marvel superhero climactic hero or heroes do battle with the villain fanfare. It is the shortest episode but the action is good and it is straight and to the point. It pretty much follows what the majority of the MCU shows have done in the last episode so you know what to expect.

Overall

I have enjoyed this season and I think this is a good way to start off the supernatural side of the MCU. There is a post-credit scene that just screams this show is probably going to bet a second season. In my opinion, it should as I would love to see where they go with this character and I think the Disney Plus format works best for Marvel characters like Moon Knight. Have you seen the episode? What did you think? Leave a comment and let's talk about it.
