Moon Knight First Reactions
Critics have seen the first few episodes of Moon Knight and the social reactions are pouring in. So what are the Moon Knight first reactions saying? It sounds like this new Marvel show is unlike anything we have ever seen before!
Moon Knight is banana pants CRAZY & heart-poundingly intense! Loved every second of the 1st 4 episodes. Oscar Isaac = incredible, Ethan Hawke = terrifying. Unlike any Marvel show. Can't get enough. Epic soundtrack, score, visuals & action. It’s DARK. Fave Marvel show! #MoonKnight pic.twitter.com/39BcstEc4s

The first episode of #MoonKnight is everything I want in this show. It’s everything we love about what the MCU can do, but goes way beyond it and positions it as one of the most unique shows/properties that we’ve seen. Isaac is great and Konshu is FANTASTIC. pic.twitter.com/BvQYl5bihv

#MoonKnight is really good. Episodes 1 & 4 are my favorites.
Oscar Isaac is great as Steven & Marc. Costumes look fantastic.
It’s definitely Marvel’s darkest and scariest. The mysteries kept me really engaged and it plays a lot like a movie! Can’t wait to see 5 & 6. pic.twitter.com/tozAPuqtMT

I’ll come back with a larger reaction once I’ve watched the remainder of the episodes available to preview. There are four in total. Episode 1 is a RIDE, tho. Hang on!#MoonKnight pic.twitter.com/T07gZhyHgh

#MoonKnight is so far the best & most different Marvel show yet. It’s intriguing, dark, thrilling Oscar Isaac is the best addition to the MCU since Phase 1 & brings a performance that isn’t just torturing but addicting to watch. It really is Indiana Jones meets fight club. pic.twitter.com/AHfU5Vj6kY

Holy S*** #MoonKnight is EVERYTHING I wanted!
A morally ambiguous anti-hero so different for the MCU
Spector/Steven are beautifully tragic pair & Isaac's compelling performance matches its complex writing
Epic, dark, bold, engimatic & absolutely NUTS@MarvelUK @DisneyPlusUK pic.twitter.com/QsfeX0Hp6v— Ren Geekness (@RenGeekness) March 17, 2022

You get Oscar Issac in his underwear at the end of Moon Knight Episode 2. There's my review in full. Sorry for the spoilers. #MoonKnight https://t.co/4ramG1xomk

#MoonKnight isn’t as dark as the Netflix Marvel shows but it’s still pretty dark for the MCU.

I’ve watched the first 4 #MoonKnight eps and I’m as divided by this show as Marc himself. When it works, it’s a wildly original MCU entry with flashes of greatness, but some of the sillier aspects detract from the horror. Diehard comic fans might not enjoy it as much as newcomers pic.twitter.com/ZWitn1rpn2

I’ve watched the first 4 episodes of #MoonKnight, it’s unlike anything we’ve seen before from the MCU. It’s a psychological thriller with a touch of Indiana Jones, it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. And Oscar Isaac delivers a mesmerizing performance. pic.twitter.com/OWYaWeye41

Oscar Isaac was made to play this character. He jumps between the identities, transforming his physical performance with each one. As Mark, he's intimidating and as Steven he's a perfect cinnamon roll. #MoonKnight pic.twitter.com/OmCBzszjZm

#MoonKnight is a brilliantly bonkers dark globe-trotting adventure; this is Marvel's trippy National Treasure. Oscar Isaac is the best addition to the MCU since RDJ, entwining torment and humour into a morally ambiguous cypher – Marc Spector is a whole new calibre of hero. pic.twitter.com/nlL9QgtbyA

#MoonKnight is a very weird show with no obvious connections to the rest of the MCU but is all the better for it. #OscarIsaac rivaling #TomHardy for best 'regular guy taunted by deep-voiced monster that lives in his head' performance. pic.twitter.com/Zn9l6PEHxC

So looks like the Moon Knight embargo is up so I’ll just say I’ve seen the first 35 minutes of episode one and I liked what I saw! pic.twitter.com/ldsfJvuFnR
