The season finale of MoonKnight wraps up all of its loose ends perfectly, creating the best Disney+ show Marvel has made yet. Our review:
We can call it now: Moon Knight is officially the best Disney+ show in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After an agonizing cliffhanger, the show returns for a short but no less sweet finale this week, managing to wrap up all of its loose ends while also opening new doors, proving that the show is at its best when it not only embraces its mystical roots but also its characters’ own struggles.
RELATED: 'Moon Knight': Oscar Isaac & May Calamawy on Layla's Real Superpower and What Their Moon Knight Costume Would Look Like The moment of reconciliation between Marc and Steven is touching, and perhaps one of the best moments of the entire show, with Isaac pulling off a monologue to himself as he tells Steven that he’s the “only real superpower [he] ever had” and acknowledging what he’s always needed to: that Steven saved him, and that he cannot live his life alone.
It feels like this turn of events was a long time coming for Calamawy, who’s carried Moon Knight on her back just as much as Isaac has, earning her place in the superhero canon and breaking away from the roots tying her to Marlene Alraune, Marc’s mortal love in the comics. She is her own badass, mystical, incredible heroine, and she’s exactly what Marc needs as they enter their final showdown against Harrow, a third pair of hands as they interrupt Harrow and Ammit’s plans of destruction.
Not only is Ammit finally defeated, but Marc comes to his own heroic end as well, refusing to kill Harrow and reclaiming his own free will against Khonshu. This choice is paramount for him to shed his past guilt, and even though he seemingly relinquishes all the powers and perks that come with being Moon Knight, the series ends on a more than satisfying note, with Marc blacking out in the tomb before waking up back in Steven’s flat in London, with “A Man Without Love” blaring in the background.
