The fifth episode of MoonKnight finally dives into its protagonist's history, honoring his history in a striking penultimate episode. Our review:
As though fans of the show ever doubted it, apparently Moon Knight doesn’t even need to live in the present to be the best show Marvel’s ever put out. It doesn’t even need to feature most of its main players — sorry to May Calamawy, the show’s breakout star — to transcend the idea of what it means to be a superhero television show, moving so far beyond alien threats and hyper-choreographed fight scenes that it this week’s episode almost creates a genre of its own.
Marc is, unsurprisingly, still resistant to Steven reliving his past, a past that has been shrouded in mystery up to now, and this week plays out like a kind of bottle episode, entirely within memories hidden behind psych ward doors.
Within all of these memories, we also finally get visual and verbal confirmation of Marc’s Jewish heritage, a core part of his identity in the comics that many fans were afraid would be wiped out entirely, particularly given that Isaac is not, in fact, Jewish himself.
