In the city, Marc fights some punks on a rooftop for morsels of information about Harrow’s whereabouts, and we get a strong, daylit look at how Oscar Isaac’s Marvel Studios fight training has paid off – pretty good! We also establish that although Marc can be a brutal mercenary, he often stops short of being deadly with his human combatants. I suspect this information will become very important in later episodes.
When Marc threatens one of the men with a knife to the throat, he sees Steven begging him to stop in its reflection. He then flips into Steven and leaves the scene, with the men allowed to walk. Marc takes over again, fighting back Steven’s incursion, and resumes his pursuit. They’re naturally confused. “You just let us go, man!” they complain. “That wasn’t me,” Marc replies, before getting a nasty blow to the head.
When he awakens, Marc is covered in blood, and has killed some of the men at a remote location. He blames Steven, but Steven denies causing the bloodshed, and we believe him. We don’t get to meet the mysterious alt responsible for the carnage in this episode, but is it premature to assume that the missing Jake Lockley identity from the Moon Knight comics is already alive and kicking in the recesses of Marc Spector’s mind?
Marc thinks the other gods and their avatars should be summoned to take stock of Harrow’s plans to raise Ammit, but Khonshu isn’t too sure about the plan – mainly because they can’t stand him, and they’ll be eager to imprison him. Still, Khonshu brings about an eclipse to catch their attention and Marc makes his case, which requires him to be possessed by Khonshu.
The scene is one of the wildest that the MCU has ever dared give us, treading a truly wobbly line between funny and unsuitable when paired with the unsettling nature of Harrow’s defense. It’s a bold strategy, Cotton. The show is clearly not afraid to go for broke in pursuit of its vision, but it was frustrating to watch! Not just because of its uneven tone, or because this confrontation with Harrow in front of the gods should have been a slam dunk, but also because it was gaslight o’clock, with Harrow using used Marc’s DID as a weapon. The whole scenario also kinda proved Harrow’s point: that maybe some people should be taken out of the equation before they commit an atrocity, not after as the gods demand. And by “some people”, I mean his diabolical ass.
Failing to get the gods on side, Marc is forced to find another way to move forwards. He reunites with Layla and pushes her away emotionally before they attempt to acquire a sarcophagus clue under the watchful eye of notable thief and Marvel villain Midnight Man aka Anton Mogart (the late Gaspard Ulliel).
