Moon Knight Marvel Studios' Moon Knight General Discussion Thread

They also just have a lot of content and don't want to add more things. They were arguably too enthusiastic at first because some of the original characters could use a second season, but there is now a cap on the number of productions at once.

Considering the Moon Knight's potential it should've been much better. It didn't feel like a Moon Knight show to me and was very wishy washy.

I think the show definitely could have been better. That being said, if it nailed the landing, every other concern would have mitigated significantly. It was sillier than we wanted, but Moon Knight is arguably sillier than people give it credit for and there were a lot of different components that they had to juggle.

Honestly, in the grand scheme of things, I'm not sure why it got greenlit when it did. A lot of the shows around that time have clear movie tie-ins. It wasn't until Echo that we get the first show that doesn't seem likely to lead to a movie tie-in. Moon Knight is the exception. The only thing I can think of is they wanted to set up other gods besides Asgard for Love and Thunder.

I mean Werewolf by Night doesn't have a movie tie in either. It got greenlit because they were launching a new streaming service, and they needed shows to support the service. Moon Knight was a Marvel IP who had some notoriety but wasn't really big enough to support his own film, so he got the nod. Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel, and She-Hulk were the three shows that got announced together at D23 2019.

Hmm given the track record of Marvel Studios at the box office, they could definitely launch a movie for Moon Knight and Daredevil and make them both successful. I think those are more comic booky/more appealing than something like Eternals and Shang-Chi which both did pretty well in early post pandemic months.

She Hulk could too but I bet they cannot move forward with a She Hulk movie even if they want to, because of Universal. I kinda dislike how some of these ips were set aside for the Disney+ platform, yet we are getting movies for Thunderbolts* and a Sam Wilson feature film (and possibly War Machine).

I mean with Isaac already attached, Moon Knight should be the vehicle to launch the Supernatural Midnight Sons and/or Marvel Knights
Opening the door, for the reboot Blade and Ghost Rider franchises, towards assembling them as a team.
If they want to skew more so called street-level, then yeah add the already established Daredevil, Electra(Élodie Yung) and Punisher(Bernthal)

What about Werewolf by Night?

 

[Breogan]

For an episode Full Moon Crossover would be great!
As part of Midnight Sons?
I'd be all in On Legion of Monsters - Marvel Films - Werewolf by Night
