The song in the end translates to ( hush hush, here comes the kings!) and thats a good choice of songs by the director!

Oscar's transformation between his characters tells what a great actor he is!

About the episode, it was definitely well written and kinda better than the first one. We finally met Mark and understand his background story. Next episode gonna be in Egypt so that sounds good considering the show whole story.

The entire team over at Moon Knight deserve a round of applause.

With fantastic scripts, gorgeous visuals and a masterful display of acting by Oscar Issac, this MCU show has the potential to become one of the best.

The tension in this episode is astounding!

Much like the pilot episode, it makes you feel as lost and confused as Steven; this episode successfully utilised the confusion to build tension!

Really good and tense episode, not once did I think to check the progress bar. Easy 9/10!

"I eat one steak and I go bonkers" is probably the best line in this series yet. Also this episode really shows how difficult it is for an American to play a Brit.

Apart from Isaac's acting i hated the show in the first episode, i thought the cgii was bad and the time jumps silly but then i decided to give the second episode a chance and wow this one was amazing on its own. Everything worked for me and even tho i don't take Marvel seriously for a while now this was actually very good. The camera work was mind blowing and that end credits carried the quality weight of this episode. Idk if this show will be good or not but this episode will stay good regardless of what happens next. Quality and stylish work!

The first episode was gripping, humorous, tense, atmospheric.

This second episode shifts more to the funny, ridicolous, not to say to the slapstick side and doesn't keep up the interesting and gripping atmosphere from the former episode.

We get more background story, thats ok. As the storytelling is fast-paced, it's in the construct of this show to keep the story going and leave some subtleness beside.

Still entertaining, because of some action and fight scenes, but not that gripping and atmospheric than the first episode. A pity.

I hope that the upcoming episoides will get back on track.

Feels like over half the episode was just rehash of episode 1. Oscar is giving a top level performance but the writing for the show so far is incredibly weak in my opinion.

Moonknight is actually in such a fantastic path to be the best MCU show to date. Nice to see Marc's backstory and his transformation as avatar for Khonshu. Brilliant 2nd episode, can't wait for next week.

This episode and so far the show is very disappointing. The char is not likable and the writing is just awful. Who in their right mind would bring the one item that villain is looking for into the villains lair. Thinking oh yeah I can protect it for being taken. NO Just stupid. I already grow tired of Steven avatar and would like to see more MK and less of everyone else. The Knonshu is not even likable. I was hoping that the jackals would kill all the heroes (Steve/Marc, Layla, anyone else).

The only good thing is that it ended and now we are in Egypt. Well 2 in and lets hope the last 4 gives us something to look forward too.

Remember the temple scenes from Season Six of LOST? Episode II of Moon Knight feels like that.

Whereas I couldn't wait to watch the pilot episode a second time, episode II is just not nearly as engaging, intricate, funny or exciting. I kept wondering while watching, was this even the same director and editor as the first episode?

May (Layla) is especially uninteresting as a character. How are we supposed to believe that she and a complex character like Marc ever teamed up? I don't know if the actress, the writers or the director is responsible for the flatness.

People said the CGI of the first episode took them out of it. For me, it didn't, then. But it definitely does here. Distractingly bad: the cape, the fight scenes, the claw coming up from the ground. Felt like a '90s show.

This 2nd ep is giving promise that the show will be consistent in quality. The pilot was strong and ep 2 continues from strength to strength.

We see the majority of the ep from Steven's eyes and because of that we feel the frustration when no one believes him which is great and it really pushes that mystery theme of keeping the character and the audience in the dark.

The cinematography picks up with its lighting and use of long tracking shots and I don't think I'll ever get tired of the shots that involve reflections. They add so much to the show and even seeing them talk via reflections with cracks splitting his face up. This ep gives us more character motivations and a bit more depth and the action may be not as many were hoping but it definitely shows what's in store for future eps as it gives us more of a taste but leaves us itching for more giving more of that frustration in a good way.

I'm glad they're still steering clear of connecting to the wider MCU and so far they haven't ruined any tense moment with a cheap joke - a MCU trademark it seems.

The only gripes is that some of the jokes do fall a little flat but not enough to take away from the moment and that British accent, I can get used to the accent as the episode goes on but it's the actual dialogue that doesn't fit with the accent, you can tell a non British person wrote it. The CGI is soft at times which makes me think they're saving the budget for the bigger fights towards the end of the season.

Overall the episode is consistent but a little flatter but seems to be shaping to be one of the better MCU shows.

P.s. I do think they need to make a MCU TV intro for the TV shows.

P. P. S. The suit is definitely a fantastic outfit, if not one of my favourite superhero outfits in live action.

This episode is everything i wanted from this show. We got more lore, some answers, still a lot to be discovered, incredible acting, amazing visuals, great pacing, on point humor, badass action. Yes, this was a joy to watch.

A lot less anxiety and more action. Overall this episode improved compared to las one and there was some exposition. I think this going to be a good series but let's see what's next.

I like a good split personality/amnesiac yarn as much as the next guy, but this show spins its wheels to an annoying degree.

Especially when confronted by overwhelming odds and imminent death, Steven's prolonged refusals to allow Marc to step in and take care of the threats always end up feeling forced and lack credibility.

Summon the Suit is a strong second episode to the great opener that was The Goldfish Problem, and it delves deeper into the chaotic mind of Steven Grant.

This episode has basically everything, character study, great performances, good storytelling, and action.

I absolutely loved the conversation between Steven and Arthur about their beliefs and morals, something that I think was needed more in Infinity War. The villain's motivation is like the plot of The Winter Soldier and what Hydra wanted to do, but the conversation around it is much better.

And I really like this protagonist/villain dynamic we have here, and the villain has a fair share of screen time too. The "villain" of the story, Arthur, is of course really familiar with Marc's boss, and it gives another layer of depth to their relationship.

Summon the Suit also has another great reveal that I didn't expect to see this early and I'm really thankful that they don't waste time showing us what our protagonist can really do.

We have a really nice addition to the cast of characters that we have already seen in the promos, and she's a really good character and has a great dynamic with Steven.

I have to mention, that this is how to do a protagonist! This is how you write a great, flawed, and actually interesting character as a protagonist, something that Disney Star Wars has no idea how to, as we have seen with Rey and recently Boba Fett.

Our protagonist isn't exactly a righteous and flawless man who doesn't do the bidding of a questionable authority like Captain America, he's a man who has killed people - who might have deserved it - and will do it again because if he doesn't, he'll lose what he loves.

All in all, this show has been really great so far and fun to watch, and this episode does a great job of establishing our trouble-minded protagonist and the antagonist further and has great dialogue and good action.

And I like that Kevin Feige just gave the helms to this actual Egyptian director to depict his country's culture like what it is and not some American guy whose only knowledge of the Middle East is just putting a yellow filter on the screen.

Also, I gotta mention that I don't really like Arabic as a language, even though mine (Farsi) is really close to it but I kinda cannot stand it, but I gotta admit that end-credit Arabic rap was lowkey fire! The Armenian Genocide Really Happened and Taiwan Is a Country.

Firstly, only one episode had aired and the show already got downvoted to hell. I've got to admit that I was quite skeptical of another MCU series, after how Loki and Wanda Vision turned out. The early reviews on here nearly drove me away from giving Moonknight a shot and that's a shame.

Some people complained that it isn't dark and gritty enough for them and they expected more of a Punisher / Daredevil kind of show. I'm glad it didn't go down that route and is incorporating humorous elements as well. Without giving to much away, in the second episode things are definitely heating up and we learn a lot about Steven's inner conflict and the overall story. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait for more episodes. I love the ancient egypt theme and in my opinion it brings something totally new to the MCU table. I'm no Marvel fanboy at all and have been very disappointed with the direction the MCU has taken lately but Moonknight is worth your time.
