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.

Too ill to sleep much, not well enough to sit up and work on my laptop. So glued to the bed, but just managed to rewatch the first Tobey Maguire Spidey film. All of it! Enjoyed it, though it’s far too gloomy lit for much of the time. Tobey Maguire is also often overly flat in his delivery. I was pleased to notice a wheelchair user having a fairly prominent repeating role. Surprised at the homophobic joke in there though. Checking I see it’s been cut out of some more recent repeat airings. Willem Dafoe was excellent, though the Green Goblin was a bit too over the top. Oh and nice to see Octavia Spencer in a brief part.
