Disclaimer at the start. Apparently I'm not allowed to warn you in the title that this could bea potentially controversial opinion. If you like Moon Knight or Iron Fist or any other Marvel property that might be mentioned, it's totally cool. These things are subjective, and I would never tell you what you should or shouldn't watch. If you like it, watch it without shame.
That being said. Moon Knight is boring af. I had my doubts when Jeremy Slater said he didn't want to use Bushman because he was "too similar to Killmonger." You know what Bushman and Killmonger have in common? They're both black mercenaries. That's it. And it doesn't explain why he didn't want to use Midnight Man.
The mystery had been completely taken out of the character. You're not questioning if Konshu is just a figment of Marc's imagination, no they've made it pretty clear that this is all real Konshu is boring, Steven Grant is boring, Marc Spector is boring. I feel like they neutered Moon Knight and it makes me question if they're willing to go mature. MK literally cut the face off of one of his enemies before. The fight scenes should be brutal, instead we get some cheap CGI shit. I can honestly say I've never been more disappointed in an MCU property.
Edit: With a little bit of sobriety, I can clarify a few things. First, Inhumans was obviously worse, I won't argue against anyone who says that Iron Fist was worse.
There are two bites from Moon Knight comics that kind of emphasize what I wanted. There's a lot I can forgive, but I still feel like the showrunners didn't apply these two principals. First, Moon Knight wears white because he wants his enemies to see him coming. Because he wants them to be afraid. Second, he's one of the few martial artists Taskmaster doesn't want to imitate, because he'd willing take a hit in order to gain an advantage in a fight.
