Ok so Moon Knight Episode 4 probably has one of the most head scratching endings in a TV Show since before Lost Lost it's audience with it's stupid final season. Yes I'm still bitter.

What you, what you doing.

Anyway there's lots of things that could be going on with this and the Heavy Spoilers team have been talking every week about where we think things are going. Now huge shoutouts to our editor Matt for coming up with the theory that the entire show is actually a show within a show and though I initially fired him at first, I think the guy might be right.

Every week there's been more and more evidence towards it and throughout this video we're gonna be breaking it all down along with some of our other theories about what's really happening.

So sit back, hold onto your butts because sh** is about to get weird.

With that out the way, welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show, now let's make it Even Stevens and get into the breakdown.

Ok so before we go into the evidence I feel like we have to discuss how this actually pulls from the comics and what they're doing in Episode 4. Jeff Lemires run is pretty much the entire basis for the twist in Episode 4 and in it Marc finds himself inside an asylum run by a character called Dr. Emmet. Revealed to actually be Ammit, she uses jackals disguised as orderlies to try and convince Marc that all his memories of being Moon Knight are fake and that he's actually just imagined the entire thing due to his psychosis.

Eventually Marc breaks out the illusion and he discovers that he's really trapped inside another dimension known as the Othervoid which exists outside of time and space. Marc and the rest of his personalities battle their way out of this with us getting the story told to us from different perspectives. Firstly is Marc who sees himself being chased by Mummies much like what we got in episode 4. There's also Jake Lockley who believes he's being framed for murder and Moon Knight who thinks he's a space pilot.

Now Steven believes that he's actually a tv show producer working on Moon Knight and all of his sections are told to us with him believing he's on set shooting the show.

So there's definitely precedent in the comics to have this all be just part of one big tv show and once you see the evidence you might see how stuff actually goes beyond this.

Huge thank you to David Lee for sending through the theories!

[AlvinHolguin]

the "green screen" on the roof is a homemade kite. I grew up in the Dominican Republic and we used to make kites out of plastic bags and sticks just like this. The stringy bits of plastic you see on one end is to keep the kite leveled in the air like a rudder or vertical stabilizer on an airplane.

Minor thing, if you take a closer look at the bingo card in the promo images, and within the episode, it uses numbers that aren't valid on a US bingo card, IE larger than 75. However, British Bingo cards, also called Housie, use the numbers from 1 to 90. This could be an indication of the mental split between Mark and steven, merging the US and UK bingo cards.

[domblue]

What a rollercoaster: the first part with a lot of “Mummy” and “Indy” vibes and the second in contrast in the strange mental hospital- cannot wait for the next one

[domblue]

Oscar Isaac's Performance in this show is next level. That ending scene and the expression on their faces and the fact that both of them actually move differently when they get frightened is just brilliant. xD

[TheMultiverseofSpidey]

I don’t know if anyone else thought of this, but the way the “mental asylum” was swaying reminded me of the way objects move on a ship on turbulent seas. And there was that trailer that showed a boat swaying on the sands. Is it possible THAT boat is the embodiment of where Marc/Steven’s “mental hospital” is? The journey through the reeds?

[DBunkYoMind]

The end of episode 4 reminded me of the beginning of the show “Legion”…

The “show within a show” concept is interesting, as is the theory that “it is all in Jake’s head” (St. Elsewhere style).

Moon Knight could be 100% enclosed within itself and the character could end up never interacting with the rest of the MCU!! 😱

[domblue]

By the way for anyone who doesn’t know, Jeremy slater has a huge part in the making of this show. Jeremy slater being the creator of the exorcist TV show too. Now you can see why this episode and all the previous episodes have had that hint of horror.

[domblue]

I’m pretty sure the “mental state” is just Marc/Stevan having to escape death once again. Maybe that third tomb, was their other personality(Jake Lockley) trying to escape as well. 👀

[brianhogg]

More likely than it all being a tv show within the show seems the idea that he's been hallucinating his death, or on the boat he's apparently on being judged, since the beginning of the show, and that we've never actually seen the "real" world yet. There's the girl in episode 1 that asked him if it sucked when he died, and Steven says "but I'm not dead."

[TheMultiverseofSpidey]

I had a couple thoughts.

1. I don't think Marc is going through the Field of Reeds. That is a form of afterlife for those who pass the trial of the feather of truth. I think Marc isn't dead yet, but Tawaret has shown herself to be a guide to him in this purgatory he's stuck in.

2. The reason I think Marc and Steven are stuck in purgatory because of Jake and his unseen suit persona. Marc and Steven have their suit alters in Moon Knight and Mr Knight, and we're yet to see Jake and his suit alter. I think Harrow shot him twice for the two alters he knows of, but he doesn't know about Jake. Three human alters and their three suit alters also fills out the six points of the Eye of Horus, where each 'sense' is an alter, either a human or an avatar of Khon-shu.

3. Marc is the primary alter, which is why he is the one who 'wakes up' in the asylum, while Steven and Jake are locked inside sarcophagi. Without Marc, the other two can't exist.

[Sweetmanthanks]

6 episodes, 3 personalities. 1 & 2 = Steven, 3 & 4 = Mark, 5 & 6 = Jake.

[UC_Fran]

So Mark/Steven/Jake are dead and on a boat headed to the afterlife, like the Egyptian boat drawn on the wall of the tomb, and also I noticed that in the goldfish tank there is an Egyptian boat as well. The hallways sway like the hospital is on water.

[janetgraham-russell]

I love how Tarawet is introduced. All the other gods are massively serious, while she gives a perky 'hi'.

[TheMultiverseofSpidey]

As a person who loves Egyptian mythology I immediately started screaming when I saw all those people being kind of empty shells of themselves. When Tawaret appeared I wasn't surprised but very glad (especially since they do make her nice). But if she's here then.... Is everyone dead? She takes care of lost spirits and gods who are being forgotten. Those people have lost themselves and can't remember their lifes. But that once again would mean that everyone is DEAD 💀 also why is Harrow there. That's destroying all my theories
But it totally makes sense that she would be banished because she's very attached to humans and as the goddess of birth directly wants to help them. The other gods are against interference ofc.

[domblue]

I enjoyed their reaction to Taweret, and I liked her high, sweet voice in contrast to her imposing body. Did anyone else notice that Harrow shot twice, once for each of the alters he knows about? That's almost certainly Jake in the other sarcophagus, and I'm wondering if he's going to have to save the day (the other 2 alters each having been incapacitated by 1 bullet).

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

I've been wondering if, with the new Thor coming out, they're going to use this to introduce Gorr the God Butcher, having him kill Ammit.

[alexanderdumas-]

Dr Strange alluded to the root of existence where the mind controls everything. Whether it’s the Norse “BELIEVING” in Valhalla, T’Chala seeing his father on a savannah, the Egyptian field of reeds/Mental Institution, or Kakashi talking to his Dad at a fire, when so disconnected from the body in the moment

of death you inability to sense your surroundings allows the soul/conscious to create a plane of existence it BELIEVES in. It may be why the gods have retreated to the overvoid. The domains they reigned in are manifested at the root of existence by the literal belief in it and humanities waning faith has literally left no place for them

[domblue]

That second sarcophagus has to be Jake, begging to finally be introduced into the show. Was left super confused yet insanely hyped to see where this twist takes us in the last two episodes. Such a well directed series.

[Cissablack]

What I love most about the ending is that Steven and Marc have two completely different screams and I am here for ittt!!
