Review of Moon Knight

Moon Knight (2022)
7/10
Enjoyed this more than I thought I would

I'm completely surprised by how much I enjoyed this "superhero" show from Marvel.

The first episode dragged a bit and was somewhat confusing at times. But, it had enough to keep me watching a second episode, then a third, fourth... well you get the idea. I think what kept me interested was the fact that Moon Knight is not your typical superhero.

The basic plot is that there is an evil cult that worships an Egyptian goddess who has been imprisoned by the other Egyptian gods. Said cult is trying to free her so she can rain down her judgement on our hapless planet. Our hero, Marc, serves a different god and derives his power (and a cool suit) from that god. Needless to say, they want to stop the cult's nefarious plan, but there's a hitch. Marc is stuck in the body of a meek/mild souvenir shop employee named Steven, who doesn't want Marc taking control of his body.

LOL, as I was writing the above description, it struck me as to how inane the plot sounds; but, believe me, the writers did a great job of making it work.
