MoonKnight S1 :E6 Season Finale

Previously, our review of episode one of Moonknight ,much promise was hinted at with this series. And for the most part, it delivered. A fresh take,on superhero genre coupled with skilled delivery in portraying a very complex hero juggling with multiple dissociated disorder.A big globe-trotting adventure, and lovely set action pieces galore, coupled with a very engaging performance by Oscar Issacs ,in skillfully hopping from one persona to another. It only needed a good ending to the series to tie up numerous loose ends.However with so many internal and external battle to resolve, all in one episode it certainly bit off more than it could chew. And like it's protagonist, (struggling to know what it wants to be). We have both a World building season finale to an ongoing Marvel TV series in its first season or a very much limited series ending. Well like Marc and Steven..it decides to be both. What results is a surreal romp , that makes you feel like you are watching a not so good sequel to one of the Brendan Fraser's ‘The Mummy’ movies from the early 2000’'s. So to the spoilers then... This season finale picks up at a crossroads in the afterlife of Marc and Steven, both personas of our hero coming to terms with each other, and now united return from physical death from the last episode to reunite as an serving Avatar with Khonshu,with the aid of Layla El-Faouly and Taweret as another avatar /God pairing , and ‘Egyptian super hero’ All allowing for a big battle showdown with a newly super God powered Ethan Hawke, and a revealed plan to end humankind. All this against a backdrop of giant-sized ancient gods fighting across the skyline of Egypt.Epic?Yes ,in fact there is alot happening on the canvas of a confined one episode running time . So much so, there is no time to breathe, and it feels cramped and clumsy,like a badly scripted comic book, with not enough pages.In fact, it is left to the mid-end credits to answer a central running story thread in this whole series, with respect to Marc Spector's, and Steven Grant’s troubled mind. This is really where this series shone in the scenes between them both. In the end you feel there are a lot of old doors closed, as well new ones opened, in the space of this single episode. What you have as a result is a rushed epic climax, that despite the great visuals and fight sequences, highlights the message.. 'we really need a Season 2'. And that would not be a bad thing, just take your time telling your story , next time.
