Asylum

This episode is my favorite thus far! Marc and Steven travel through their memories, which gives us their origin story....and OH MY GOD! It was creative, emotional and dark at times! I hope you can enjoy this episode without getting spoiled cause there is a lot of crazy moments! I have no Idea how the final episode will pan out!

Oscar Isaac gave an Oscar worthy performance, if this was a movie... I don't consider an Emmy as a worthy award like an Oscar.

Roller coaster of emotions in this episode.

This episode was by far one of the best stories Marvel Studios has ever told.

The acting was fantastic as usual, you would be forgiven to think Marc and Steven are played by two different actors, Oscar Isaac is that good.

But the story itself was magnificent, the techniques they used on this episode were very effective in conveying the emotions they wanted the audience to feel.

This is so far the best episode this season, I would be amazed if the finale outdoes it.

A very visually stunning and amazingly acted episode. I guess most of the visual effects went to this episode and that hippo lady and they gave like 20 bucks to the VFX team to make that chase scene in the first episode.

This penultimate episode, much like the penultimate episode of WandaVision takes us to the childhood and past life of our protagonist through their memories, and just like Wanda's, Marc's childhood and origin are as tragic and depressing as it gets.

I really like this introspection episode of our character(s) as we get to know who really Marc and Steven are, which one is the original, and the reason Marc joined the military and became Moon Knight.

Oscar Isaac and Oscar Isaac have been phenomenal in every episode so far, but I think this is their best performance yet. Of course, there are other actors in here too but the majority of the episode revolves around this character. (I guess you can say that about all the other episodes too, but this one has more screen-time for Oscar)

Aside from all of it's good parts and great acting though, I kinda wanted a little bit more from the memories and "we're doing flashbacks but we call it a memory recalling session so it doesn't seem like a flashback even though it's totally flashback", you know what I mean? I wanted to see more memories, and also more from the memories they showed and didn't show the whole thing.

And there's also another thing about the third alter that bothered me but I can't say anything about it without spoiling it, so there's that too.

The thing that happened at the end was very surprising too. I'd be way more surprised if it's permanent, because it's a good character development in my opinion, but I won't be shocked if they don't reverse it in the next episode.

I also gotta mention again, that these episodes feel like they need 3 or 4 episodes each to truly use their material's potential and not cram everything in just 45 minutes, you know what I mean? Like the whole psych ward thing could've been a whole half-a-season story arc but we get only one episode, or the whole Marc's past could've been a season in itself, but Disney says only 6 episodes so they have to cram everything they have into it. So I would've been more happy if they did more things with the memories, but the episode is still great and the writers and directors did a good job with the time and episode limit they were given.

Overall, a really well-paced, well-acted, well-written, and visually stunning episode and a deeper look inside Marc Spector's mind. This character and his story had a really big potential for more episodes and more seasons, but it is fine what they've done with the 6-episode limit they had to work with.

Resumes binary bodied, with Taweret in the surreal sanctum, the perfect god/setting combination to respectfully explore the Marc/Steven origins story.

Oscar Isaac renders a magnum opus, painting a full emotional palette onto a bizarre monologue/dialogue canvas. He portrays both men using distinct, fine brushstrokes, depicting a bold poster-art image of each avatar and their ambiguous affinity.

Again Moon Knight self-eclipses, a celestial luminescence in the night sky.
