Finally finished watching Moon Knight

Rather mixed views about the finale and the programme overall. The finale wasn't as strong as I expected, and also hampered by being very dark (gloomy, poor lighting) for so much. I could barely see what was happening! And I've never been a big fan of the big fight scenes in this series. However I liked Layla becoming a (temporary) avatar, and having more agency. And I was pleased how it left things open for the possibility of more stories. But I really dislike Khonshu. Maybe I'm meant to, but I'd get exasperated whenever he appeared. And Harrow wasn't convincing for me either. This sounds quite moany, but I did enjoy a lot of the series. But the pacing was inconsistent, often either too slow, or as in the finale over too easily. I do intend to go back into the Moon Knight comics though - I have a Marvel Unlimited subscription, so can easily access the old issues on my iPad. I would definitely watch a second series if they made one. But yes I had issues.

I liked it overall but I didn't like the next-to-final ending where he says, in the "dream asylum" "Back to saving the world" and wakes up back in London. Saving the world how? He thinks he's given up/got rid of the suit so he's no longer a superhero (if he ever was a hero, really) so how is he supposed to be saving the world? It just jarred me out of my suspension of disbelief.
