    I don’t think it’s likely (at least in this show) unless it’s a post credits scene at the end. I imagine the gift shop won’t play a huge part going forward due to Marc becoming known to Steven

    I didn't like the Steven Grant personality. Bumbling and awkward is not what I want from Moon Knight. It doesn't feel right. Behind that I enjoyed the first episode. I have to question why Marc kept giving control back to Steven during the chase scene when they were still in danger.

    It’s an acquired taste I guess, but to me it makes sense - someone who is the complete opposite to Marc and has a completely different life. I think they haven’t really been able to crack MK’s alters in the comics in making them feel that different to Marc, so it makes sense to me. If I’m correct Marc did mention that Steven wasn’t letting him take control

    For the type of hero Moon Knight is having a persona that's a socially awkward doofus doesn't click. I would have preferred if the show went the cabbie route but I guess there's no way they can tie Egypt with that.

    Was it even named? I don't remember.

    Excellent point. What the hell?

    How could he, though? He didn't know Marc existed.

    What on Earth makes you think he was giving it? That's the problem. Steven has somehow become dominant and seems able to TAKE control back even at inopportune moments, without any conscious awareness of what is happening. Which is why Marc had to convince Steven to willingly give him control at the end.

    Marc isn't giving Steven anything. He's losing control to him.

    It’s all subconscious right? There must be some part of Steven that realises, not to mention we actively see him trying to avoid sleeping because he knows he’s getting blank spots, which is seemingly when Marc takes over.

    For me it does. It’s cool to have him be completely different to Marc. It’s given a nice contrast between them and made it seem like Marc is a bit of an older brother, which I like. I also think Moon Knight/Marc can still be badass/capable without Steven being so too; again, I like them being opposites.

Somebody who is completely a part of what is going on, but who knows and understands absolutely none of it right along with the rest of the audience.

    The bit with the replaced goldfish had me cracking up. The "replace it and he'll never notice" trope with the fish pet used to tremendous effect.

    Overall this was a really strong start. And the suit looks fantastic. Really curious about the villain and what's going on here. Hopefully the rest of the run can maintain this level of quality.
    Agreed. I thought this was a great opening episode, and Isaac is giving it his all.

    Fair enough, I guess.

    I don't need him to be a total badass in his civilian identity as well. For who Moon Knight is I would have preferred Marc's parallel to be a down to earth everyman type than what Steven got turned into.

    *woosh, as context flies right over your head*

    Take a look at the half dozen posts before mine, and you'll see why I made the comment I did.
