Arthur Harrow

Arthur Harrow originally promised to be a unique villain with genuinely interesting motives. He had a good balance in the first couple of episodes that made it seem he wanted the greater good, yet was still willing to do questionable acts. However, what makes Arthur an uninteresting villain ultimately comes down to the last episode. He seems devout to the ideals upheld by his goddess, but they are tossed aside when Ammit uses him as her avatar. An odd decision on both characters' parts that either made the characters brilliantly hypocritically or lazily written because it was the final episode. Ultimately, it felt flat and Arthur lost much of the complexity he had early on and the final episode ended up turning into another generic superhero fight.

Something that came into my head there the other day was that, did khonshu actually stop Ammit out of good intentions or for his own gain? I believe for his own gain. The reason why I think this is that if you go by what we seen in moon knight and not Egyptian mythology, khonshu seems to be the god of vengeance and the moon or something . So with that said don’t you think that when Harrow was trying to free ammit, khonshu must’ve thought “wait if ammit kills people before they kill people, then there will be no vengeance”. And that’s why I think khonshu wanted to stop ammit, not out of true justice or anything righteous. If ammit succeeded then khonshus purpose would’ve been meaningless. I’m not justifying ammits actions, to me their both in the wrong. That is honestly why I think khonshu stopped her. And taking a look at khonshu he isn’t exactly the heroic type. More anti heroic but still. He also manipulates Marc and Steven, trying to convince them what they do for him is right. So yea that’s what I think of khonshu and his motives. Tell me if I missed something or convince me that this isn’t the case or prove me wrong yano. Enjoy

So initially I replied to a thread about this, but I wanted to see what you guys thought. I know everyone's current favorite show is Moon Knight and I respect it, but I just want to bring out my hot take, and see if anyone can at least try to agree with me some what.

I was very excited about this show when Feige announced it, but when it released, I was very disappointed, I disliked the other episodes, but none of them disappointed me as much as episode 6.

For starters, why is Taweret, the Goddess of Women and Children watching over the dead? That's the job of Anubis or Osiris, even Ammit would have been a better candidate, that's like having the God of Music (Hathor) watch over the battles instead of Montu.

Putting that aside, I was disappointed with Layla, a character I have never heard of, portrayed by an actor I have never seen before. Initially when Diab said that Marc's wife was going to be in the show, I thought of Marlene, Marc's wife in the comics, but since we need to be more accepting, they swapped her race for no reason, Marlene is far more interesting then Layla and the change wasn't needed.

Speaking of swapping, the Scarlet Scarab in the comics was a male super-villain known as Mehemet Faoul, but for diversity points, they turned a male character into a female character for no reason, they could've just created a new role for Layla.

Also, it's kind of a contradictory that the show is called Moon Knight, even though Marc Spector/Moon Knight only got about 15-20 minutes of screen time, while were focused on Layla, and Steven Grant, two of the most insufferable people on the show, it has a Hawkeye problem to a bigger extent.

Also, the whole Jake Lockley thing was really stupid, they didn't even bother showing us what happened in the ending battle with Arthur Harrow, and speaking of the battle, it should've been Marc Spector vrs Arthur Harrow, not Marc Spector Vrs. Harrow Vrs. Layla Vrs. Grant. And somehow, Layla kicks the butts of 300 pound Egyptian mercenaries, makes no sense.

Let me know your thoughts.

What do you think Arthur harrows Moon knight suit look like?
