Moon Knight is in the same boat as the Punisher: not exactly a saint, but you can understand his situation even if you don't agree with his actions.

Oscar: “Powerful”
May: “Complexity”
Ethan: “Moon Knight”

[MA-lsbj]

I love Ethan Hawke's portrayal. His calmness makes him that much more sinister. He is definitely portraying a villain who is the hero of his own story.

[dangdroideka]

He is an antihero for sure, and at times a pure hero but he’s definitely more the former than the latter and we will see this later in the show

One thing Marvel mostly never disappoints on:

- Their casting choices.

Describe the show in one word
"Moon knight" 🌙
Man Ethan hawke had me cracking up

[DeividManuRos]

Moon Knight met our expectations above and beyond. Oscar Isaac fits the role so perfectly. Can’t wait til Wednesday.

“Describe the show in one word”

Ethan: No… I don’t think I will.

[DeividManuRos]

Moon Knight exceeds expectations. Seriously, can't believe that Marvel took yet another turn to give us a brilliant storyline.
Great horror-comedy fusion.

[DeividManuRos]

It’s crazy how hard these people work to bring us an amazing show!

[Regular_Jo]

I've been enjoying Ethan Hawke's character so much.

[BigPou]

I read the comics and he is like a kind of an anti-hero. Right now he is my favorite currently hero of this year lol.

[blue_kenney]

I love the Moon Knight series so far Marvel has never failed to bring me joy

[Korbynnator]

He is a hero, but more often than not an anti-hero. Most heroes wouldn’t beat a foe so brutally as Moon Knight, or the Punisher tend to do, so they end up falling on a line in between hero and villain, in other words an anti-hero. Captain America or Spider-man try not to hurt their foes too bad and either try to throw them in jail or knock them out and let the police handle them, Moon Knight however tries his hardest to either kill them or beat them so bad they no longer have any function.

[griffgames]

Ethan Hawke has paid his dues and experienced every type of role.

[boreddude]

I know recently Oscar Isaac's had a bad time in Hollywood with apocalypse and starwars, but I hope this was a genuine change of pace for him! even if he never plays moon knight again he's done an amazing job, the effort everyone put into this series shines through every scene!

[YasminMarcelo]

May Calamawy is so beautiful 🥹 Here’s to seeing more of Layla!

[smoothie]

it was so creative to have the relatable character that’s learning everything with us be in the same body as the hero. The story just worked so smoothly that way

[ArcadeAssassin]

I didn't even recognize Ethan without the long hair 😳
