It's kind of weird, and hEt even commented.  The whole focus on the personalities and personal story has been really good...but we haven't seen MOON KNIGHT suited up hardly at all. 

I can see why Oscar Isaac signed up for THIS show as it is letting him flat out show off...and I also see why they did it as a one-off because I really don't know how or WHY you would tie any of this into the broader MCU.  IF he does appear in other forms, lets say the coming werewolf by night Halloween special, for instance, it's just going to be the costume bit action stuff rather than the personal trauma, which we have really not set up at all. 

Just a weird balance they're doing. 

[Unorthodox]

Well. 

There we have it. 

Episode 6 is more or less the big CGI slugfest that is Disney + Marvel, but it does do it fairly well in comparison to the other series. 

They clearly blew the CGI budget on the last 2 episodes.

Egyptian gods exist.  Slim possibility it's still just him being crazy but they mostly shut the door on that. 
Suit is definitely mystically powered and grants at least healing and the general physical enhancements.
Steve and Marc know about each other, but they don't know about Jake. 
Steve is a British nerd with a 'bad accent' but is based on a low budget movie that Marc loved so it 'fits'. 
Marc is more or less Marc from the comics. 
Jake hasn't been shown enough to really say.

Layla does wind up as an avatar as I called back in episode 3.
A major portion of the Egyptian gods are imprisoned...[/quote]

I kinda dig the black and white, though they never get it quite right.  Bad/cheesy/campy clear attempt at 40s era monster movies.  I give it a 50/50 at being decent, though I'm not sure if a "special" means movie length or hour only.

...The look's somewhat Universal, but the tone's wrong for that...

[Unorthodox]

Yeah...It's like a lot of recent things I see try to recreate the 'classic' feel and they never get that right. 

Like I said, I give it a 50/50 chance of decent/terrible.  I don't think great or even necessarily good is on the table based off that preview.

-Not that the old Universal pics never had no ladies screaming, but they were somber gothic sorta horror, not quite that over the top...

[Unorthodox]

Forced.  It all feels VERY forced.

Like they're shooting for Universal and instead landed on 50's exploitation films. 

Also, shooting in digital for the black and white look really ends up hurting the look.  Gotta shoot on old school film. 

[Buster's Uncle]

Well, it's not like trailers are reliable indicators of much of anything.


Like, good chance little or none of it was shot in B&W to begin with.
