The Moon Knight Episode 2 Scene That Went Too Far
By NICK STANIFORTH
“Moon Knight” follows a superhero with DID (dissociative identity disorder) and an Egyptian god as their boss, so it may not be surprising that the second episode has a moment that feels a little out of place and unrealistic. However, it wasn’t his interactions with the giant god Khonshu or showdown with an invisible monster that fans felt went too far.
As Steven Grant begins to learn about his alter-ego Marc Spector, he also meets Marc’s soon-to-be ex-wife, Layla. In what feels like a forced attempt to take the story in a direction it hasn't entirely earned yet, Steven is inexplicably smitten with Layla, and we can see where it’s going a mile away.
In this smorgasbord of ancient Egyptian mythology and multiple personalities fighting over a superhero's body, the occasional sacrifice for certain story elements is inevitable. However, many feel that the show’s attempt to set up an unorthodox love triangle was quite rushed and flawed.
