Moon Knight Reaction (non-stream) Is Up!

Television

It always takes me a little longer than I’d like, but I finally got my reaction to the new Moon Knight trailer posted to my channel. While I may not be able to respond as quickly to content like this as the YouTube content creators who are doing this for their livelihood, I’m nevertheless happy to be able to make content like this in my spare time and work my regular, full-time job. I can even (slowly) invest in my channel by occasionally purchasing equipment and watching the odd YouTube channel creator video on work time, since I’m actually teaching (a VERY rudimentary) YouTube basics for content creators program at the library.

Getting back to Moon Knight: while he’s not the most well-known Marvel character, Moon Knight definitely has a small but hardcore cult following among Marvel fans. My understanding is that he’s Marvel’s answer to Batman, but with several significant twists, including lunar mysticism and the presence of dissociative identity disorder (DID) that plagues Marc Spector, Moon Knight’s alter ego. He’s fairly “street-level” in terms of his power set, to my limited knowledge, but we’ll see how true that is when the show comes out on March 30.

Moon Knight is also the subject of a really funny meme that may be (until possibly now or very soon after, at least) the main source of his reach among casual audiences. I know it made me laugh out loud the first time I saw it.

And that’s pretty much all I know about him. The show will feature Oscar Isaac in the title role, along with Ethan Hawke as someone who appears to be the show’s main antagonist. Both of those actors are amazing, and I’m eager to see how they bring these Marvel characters to life, and hopefully make Moon Knight and his world a compelling and intriguing addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Come March 30, we’ll certainly find out!

Here’s the link to my trailer reaction. Enjoy!

Moon Knight Trailer! Reaction Stream Tonight!

Television

It looks like Disney Plus released a trailer for its upcoming show Moon Knight yesterday, and while I haven’t streamed a reaction to it yet, you can rest assured that I’ll have a live stream reaction tonight, and an edited video upload of said reaction in the next day or two!

It’s been unusually silent on the announcement end of Disney Plus’s Marvel content, which after 2021, where we typically knew things several weeks–if not months–in advance, feels a little… off. There’s plenty they’re apparently going to make and release this year, but until yesterday, we had no idea when any of it was going to drop. At least now we know Moon Knight will be premiering on March 30 of this year.

And, of course, it’s on a Wednesday. Disney Plus is nothing if not consistent.

I always look forward to new Marvel content on this platform, but what they’ve got in the works will definitely explore some of the less tread-upon territory in the MCU. In addition to Moon Knight, I believe we can look forward to Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, Secret Invasion, and season 2 of What If…? And that’s in addition to the feature films due out this year: Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness, Thor: Love and Thunder, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

So, there is plenty of content on the way this year! I’d just like to know more about when the Disney Plus stuff will be gracing my small screens.

Anyway, speaking of small screens, keep an eye out for tonight’s live stream, which you can easiest do by subscribing to my YouTube channel! I’ll be mostly gaming, but I’ll also carve out a few minutes to film a reaction to the Moon Knight trailer!

Until then, here’s a stream from yesterday, where I squeeze as much Marvel Contest of Champions as I can into a couple of hours. Enjoy!
