My big pet peeve is that for some reason they decided to portray the Natural History Museum as a school?

I love the use of Kid Cudi in that Moon Knight trailer.

I think it's more they were hosting a school trip, don't museums have educational rooms for that sort of thing? Although why you'd go to the Natural History Museum for a school trip and just sit in another classroom instead of looking at cool dinosaur skeletons is a legitimate question.

I don't know how it works over there but most natural history museums in America have classrooms for children who want to learn about dinosaurs over the summer, it's not that weird

It looks like the museum may be the same place that Sersi and Dane work at.

Most likely it's gonna lead to Moon Knight teaming up with Blade and Black Knight in a Midnight Sons/Marvel Knights team. Hopefully they get to fight Dracula.

In the trailer when Ethan Hawke says something about chaos is he talking about chaos magic in the same way that Agatha was talking about Wanda's magic?

Moon Knight has traditionally involved weird rear end magic, but it is specifically the magic of an Egyptian moon god and nothing to do with Agatha Harkness. They seem to be taking a lot of liberties with the source material, so it could be possible.

Ethan Hawke's character is a weird reference who was a minor character that only appeared in one comic and Moon Knight's different personalities seem to have different origins. So, they are most likely taking bits and pieces from the comics and spinning them into new things. It's like the MCU version of Ultimates.

This kind of reminds me how funny it is that in Marvel canon every single major polytheistic religion is proven to be 100% correct, but the Christian/Jewish/Muslim God of Abraham categorically cannot exist and the Bible is explicitly wrong about creation and humanity.

The_Doctor posted:

In the comics, he has different accents and personalities. One of which is a little girl and another is a fancy aristocrat. It seems like they are definitely playing the accent up and will use different voices to designate different personalities.

I just want them to be comics accurate and have him spend 1/4 of his screen time as a school girl.

It reminds me a bit of the thing in Avenue 5 where people kept complaining about Hugh Laurie seems to be forgetting if he's supposed to be using his House accent or his regular accent from scene to scene.

As for the alternate personalities, traditionally it's only been

1) Marc Spector, an American son of Jewish refugees and former marine/soldier of fortune.
2) Steven Grant, millionaire playboy
3) Jake Lockley, cab driver

The "little girl" personality is strictly from Ultimate Spider-Man, where he had Grant, Spector, "The Inner Child", and Moon Knight as four distinct personalities, where she appeared for about three pages shortly before Moon Knight got beaten into a coma.

Then there's a second arc where Moon Knight comes out of a coma (and also survives getting shot in the head) because a fifth even more powerful personality (Ronin, the same Ronin as from Hawkeye) manifests. That last appearance was in 2007, and Ultimate Moon Knight has only appeared once or twice in group shots/flashbacks since then, and the Ultimate Universe itself stopped being published back in 2016.

Which is to say I keep seeing the Inner Child getting mentioned in articles about the TV series, which is confusing and unless there's been a production note to suggest that they're bringing in a wildly deep cut, it probably won't factor into the television series.

Absolutely this. They’re going to have a ‘Wait, you’re actually American? No wonder your accent’s dreadful’ moment.

Marvel put out a video of Isaac and Hawke watching the trailer and Isaac makes fun of his own accent so I'm thinking he knows what he's doing.

Celebrities tend to be wealthy, and winter sports are very expensive unless you live in the mountains or work as a ski instructor. Same reason helicopters keep racking up kills.

I don't know about that. It's dangerous sport (compared, say, to golf) that tends to attract wealthy people (which celebrities tend to be). The celebrity body count is probably quite proportional. Sort of like how small aircraft tended to kill rock stars back in the day.

That’s because capitalism has poisoned your mind. No one should have to work, we should have 5G robots doing all forms of manual labor and Amazon and Microsoft and Apple should subsidize artists, academics, and athletes so that they can pursue their goals the same as craftsmen or tradesmen without having to sacrifice everything to afford to follow their dreams.
