Disney Plus' Moon Knight gets off to a promising start
The Marvel TV show's premiere episode finds an ace Oscar Isaac in capital-L loser mode
When crafting the pilot episode for Moon Knight, a Marvel show focused on a lesser-known character who has yet to be introduced in the MCU,
the driving question is, "What's happening to Steven Grant?" No more, as you might have assumed, "Who is Moon Knight, anyway?"
That's not to say that the latter question doesn't structure this first entry in Disney+'s latest Marvel effort.
The final scene, after all, is as thunderous north as you'd like,
a moment that punctuates an episode of television that deliberately obscures some of its most action-packed plotlines.
Car chases happen, yes. And henchmen are kicking to the curb, too. But in the throes of being an exercise in prevention
the blood-splattering fights that happen when Steven Grant (Oscar Isaacs) loses consciousness and finds himself in danger are left to our imaginations.
