Phil Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Looks fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Trailer looks great, but there's a severe lack of 'Random Bullshit Go!' meme and with how edgy the show looks, I'm not sure how they'll fit that in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Such a cool look! I've always liked Oscar Issac, so I'm interested to see his portrayal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash or Czech Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Finale was awesome. Great standalone series. Really entertained from start to end to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Agreed. Arguably the best one yet on Disney Plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siddious Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 This was such a good show and a nice surprise since I had no clue about about this universe. Glad it’s going into season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Same. I loved the first season. Super exciting. Completely out of the realm of normal MCU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 (edited) I liked it, but it's just another moneygrab/Disney+ hook because it's an 8ep show that could have been a 2.5 hour movie. Edited August 21 by Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 As good as this was for me, I wasn't expecting a second season. Yeah, I agree with Pete, and really, that can be said for a lot of streaming shows on all platforms. I feel like most 8-10 episode seasons could be movies, or at very least, cut in half with the number of episodes. I think Netflix may be guilty of that more than the other streamers, but it's a trend with all of them. Speaking of Star Wars, as good as the Obi Wan series was, that could have easily been a standalone movie. It wasn't many episodes, but there was still some filler there that could have been trimmed down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 I don't really agree. The problem with movies is they're big chunks. I'd personally rather watch a four-episode mini-series than a two and a half or three-hour movie. It's not even an attention span thing. I have two kids. I just don't have that kinda time lol. I gotta digest stuff in smaller parts. I think it's why I'm a big fan of limited series. Some of the best TV in the last decade has come out this way — The Night Of (HBO), Godless (Netflix), Chernobyl (HBO), Midnight Mass (Netflix), Sharp Objects (HBO), When They See Us (Netflix). A lot of these are like four to seven or eight episodes long. Band of Brothers (HBO) was ten episodes, and that's top-3 of all-time in my estimation. I'd argue the opposite here — not that Moon Knight should be a movie, but that it should be a mini-series. Give me four to six action-packed episodes. Cut out the filler and I'm all the way in.

There's nothing stopping you from watching a movie in chunks. It took me 3 days to watch that abortion last matrix movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, of course. I usually do, lol. I tend to start them after the kids are in bed and I get through whatever I couldn't during the day, and then fall asleep after like 45 minutes. I'm just saying, because of this, that's why I love mini-series. I know I can get through it, and if I fall asleep during a 30, 45, or even 60-minute episode, it's easier for me to know where to go back and start over. I just think it's easier to digest intentionally broken up mini-series than it is to with a movie because you can't really know where the best place to stop/pause is.

I just think a lot of series drag on because they feel they need 8 to 10 episodes instead of three to four episodes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally. Really depends on the show. Something like Band of Brothers, for example, really needed the extra time. The Night Of, on the other hand, was perfectly succinct. Just as examples, I feel like almost every Marvel series on Disney could trim to four or six and be better for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindG1000 Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 I think when you have an interesting story like Moon Knight, an entire universe of different shit to introduce, and bluntly, someone like Oscar Isaac as an enthusiastic, willing contributor, go for the stretch goals and go for the 6 hours of episodes. I just wish they were more mindful of the filler. Or, you know, not making a shitshow of epic stories like Secret Wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
