Although I expect him to get ruined now that they're propping him up for a Netflix show...
>>
>>93461873
First I've heard of this. Most of the netflix shows are garbage, but I will hold out hope because I really want to like Moon Knight
>>
>>93461904
It's obvious they're gonna make one. It'll be cheap as fuck to film, they can tackle "muh DiD" and get brownie points, all that jazz. Why do you think he's had a series nonstop since 2014, and all of them have been shitty past the Ellis run?

Funny thing is, they brough Ellis in to streamline the crazy aspect. He did, but then Marvel went full SJW, and retconned that again into a general "Marc, you're mentally ill and that's okay sweetie" story.

He'll get a NF show, but it won't be about fighting werewolves and punk ghosts. It'll be Mr. Robot, but worse.
>>
>>93461951
Which storyline was it where they found out he wasn't crazy, he just had brain damage from housing a god in his head?
>>
>>93461985
The Ellis run. Marvel brought him in to streamline the origin, but they figured out that they can push him as this mentally unstable guy from childhood, so they ignored that and gave us the same bullshit retcon.
>>
>>
>>93462033
So what happened after the Ellis run that was so bad? I don't think I read past his part in the series
>>

The same vol that continued was alright. A Brian Wood story about the psychiatrist setting MK up to get revenge on some African warlord who had raided her mansion when she was little. Pretty average political stuff. And a few one-shots by Cullen Bunn, with a Raptor Cult and a Ghost Slave Trade. Pretty fun.

After that ended, they announced the Lemore run, which was just a series of trippy issues that ultimately, after 14 issues, ended with Marc climbing at the top of a hospital, saying that he's crazy but that's okay because he's not broken, telling Khonshu to back off and... that's it. Khonshu dissappears, and Marc is happy he's now accepted that he's been mentally ill since he was a kid.
>>
>>93462153
Yeah that sounds pretty dumb.
>>
>>93462309
Yeah, well, prepare for more of that.

>>
>>93462870
>baww, I'm a little bitch who has to attribute everything to the filthy SJWs and not a part of the character that's been around for literal decades

I don't even get what you're saying about the "I'm crazy and that's alright" bullshit. Acknowledging his mental issues so he can try and get better is something terrible?
>>
>>93462901
Boy, you sure don't know shit. Original Moon Knight, from the Moench run, the only worthy one, just used different identities the same way the Shadow did. He started getting lost in some of them, but it was always implied it was a case of Khonshu messing with him.

All the current runs have done is make him legitimately retarded. Khonshu always goes on and on about him having a "weak mind". Ellis streamlined him and made him actually scary. Lemire just turned him into a crybaby for brownie points.

Fuck you and your shitty "muh mental health" plots. MK works because he's a badass supernatural hunter with ties to Egyptian mythology. He's even tackled the pseudo-Illuminati. Fokin casual.
>>
>>93461951

I think the thing that needs Moon Knight to work as a TV series is for all the mentally unstable and supernatural elements to be subtle implied to be a psychosis Mark is suffering from. Then again I have no idea how normie SJWs are going to react to a Jewish character appropriating a North African religion but the fallout will probably be beautiful, of course we're going to get the retarded normies going "HURR DURR WHITE BATMAN" but it's ridiculous comparing the two since it's like comparing Trump to Hitler.

I however expect Scarlett to be a very popular character if Moon Knight does well in a Netflix series but I'd personally like each episode to have a different feel and tone, I'd hate for it to be incredibly cold and sterile each episode.

Like I said above, the Khonshu/Ellis explaination is the most interesting and creepy. Pre-Khonshu Marc was an angry chad, but after getting a crisis of conscience, he had his mind infested by a literal Eldritch Abomination (Low-Tier). That's infinitely more interesting than "muh mental illness".

The supernatural stuff need to be real. He needs to fight ghosts, and werewolves. Making everything be in his head" just neuters the character. Doing thatin one or two episodes is okay, but having all of the SPN stuff be imaginary is just bad.

Not really. Ellis did a horrible job and left too early. People just like it because it's light and action-y.

It may have been just a well-done action book, but the origin/explaination he provided was both creepy and streamlined. Khonshu exists, fact. Marc's crazy Post his Rebirth was Khonshu infecting his brain and making it his nest.

I mean, what is more interesting? "Mental Illness, uwu" or "Eldritch Abomination borrowed inside your brain"?

Both him and Booster get very little respect as legitimate super heroes, since it's always easier to make them a joke than actually write them as characters who like to joke.
That's cape comics for you though. Everybody is defined by exactly one thing.

That'd be an interesting angle. But the weird stuff NEED to be real. He can still be crazy due to Khonshu messing with him, but the supernatural stuff need to be real and scary.
