Without further ado, moon night season finale.
Here we go.
The fact that we're all talking right now is a good sign.
Yeah.
So, it's soaking him.
Just absorb it like, it's like using him, but not letting mark it on it.
Yeah.
So he's the true assassin mercenary, like, all controlling.
He doesn't even need a suit up?
Nope.
He takes them out as a cabby limo driver.
And I like the conchue was in the suit because he didn't need to suit up.
That's cool to like, because they changed Stephen Grant to be like this British guy
who's not a billionaire.
And then to change Jake Lockley from like New York cabby driver to, I don't know, honoring Oscar Isaac's roots a little bit more.
So why did the randomly have an accent a couple times in the in the psych war?
To throw us off, dude.
That wasn't hit.
That was, I think that was purposely done for this.
scenes. I said it. I said it wasn't...
Maybe I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe he actually has a weird accent but he speaks Spanish.
Well, I was thinking was that they were just doing that to throw us off.
Yeah. Because that's what I thought, like, to really distinguish better, especially when he's, like, switching in and out of accents in a particular scene.
Because it sounds like Mark has, like, a Chicago accent, and it just comes out a little bit more.
An extra annunciation of the...
Yeah. That's one thing I chalked up to.
But I also thought I was wrong, too.
But it would also make sense for something like that to come out into a more drugged up state.
Yeah, I get a boss when I drink.
Yeah, yeah.
No, I thought that I said, yeah, it's just like when you're a little bit more uninhibited, you know,
it'll come out of your subconscious.
No, it was a mistake on Oscar Isaac's.
Yeah, no, he's very much credit.
He's messy with his acting.
If I think of anything.
Too much credit.
If I have one complaint, it's Oscar Isaac.
And his messy vocal work.
This whole episode was great other than Oscar Isaac's acting.
Yeah, really threw me.
Yeah.
If we could just redo this, but like,
somebody else Pedro Pascal it's a weird feeling when my favorite moments that's not my
favorite moment but it's definitely like probably my favorite moment
post credit scene yeah it's not even like truly a post-credit since it's kind of the ending
like you know in its own way it's it's less of a post-credit than most like it's an actual
it's key to the story definitely in a way that i don't think post-credit scenes generally are
they usually set up something as opposed to this which concludes something so they're gonna
going to go around hit many people yeah i hope oscarly comes back all right let's discuss this show people
all right guys we got microphones yeah because we got a podcast where this goes up so i was like
hey let's let's let's mic up to be professionals it's not going to be any different
just going to really improve the quality of our conversation yeah i feel much more entitled i'm so
much more I like
just a drastic change
from okay audio
to drastically
better audio
this feels good
in my eardrums
just a massive switch
4K audio
now people will never be able to go back to the old
audio
Dolby sound
so this
this episode
really showed us that
they're getting all their
diversity out of the way with one character
here
He's got every ethnicity and nationality within him.
He's got a Spanish, Latino guy, a Jewish guy.
And then Egyptian girl.
British guy.
Yeah.
That sounds good.
British guy in the MCU.
You know what?
We haven't seen a lot of British superheroes.
So, look, we talked a little bit while I was prepping some footage and was taking longer
than usual.
And so we're going to have to naturally regurgitate some of those conversations.
Not a lot.
We've got to talk for like five minutes about it.
But hey, John,
why don't you kick us off with your thoughts
on what you thought about the Moon Night finale?
Be honest.
That's all that's required.
Absolutely.
The Moon Night finale, I thought, was pretty decent.
I liked it.
I had a good time.
I really enjoyed the imagination.
I enjoyed some of the crazy circumstances
that came to pass.
I do feel like this could have easily been
a couple episodes worth of material,
especially coming out of the last episode
that reached such wonderful depths and heights
of character exploration.
Felt like that stuff
definitely had to be fast-tracked in this episode.
So, yeah, it left me wanting some things,
but I had a great time,
so it's not like a slam dunk of an ending,
but, you know, I mean, it got there.
I would definitely watch more.
I would be thrilled to return to and expand this world,
but yeah, it feels maybe a little bit limited
from this vantage point.
quite i thought we got a lot of the things we'd been seeking but i do think we got them very quickly
i would have loved another episode in the field of reads and finding out what it was like for mark
specter to enjoy peace what his experience of peace would even be beyond that one beautiful shot
where it looked like they let oscar go to the spa but i also think there was a beautiful moment
between the brothers that could have been earned a little more by pushing it now obviously they
have a format of you know six episodes at marvel but i think the
flexibility of letting the scripts and the story they're telling breathe and let it be seven let it be
eight i think what marvel the way marvel can improve is by letting that flex you should tell
the story in the amount of time the story takes to tell not in a certain allocated amount of
episodes you shape your story around i think that's kind of backwards the way they're doing
it right now and i think this episode was the first time in the moon night series i felt that in
all of the marvel series i felt a little bit of hurry up and wait except loki i think loki i think
Loki is the one that I thought the pacing stayed consistent throughout and as such has my favorite Marvel finale and as such is personally my favorite Marvel show because it has six episodes that all feel justified whereas Moon Knight I said if it stuck the landing was going to be my new favorite Marvel show it's very good I really really enjoyed it but I think Loki is a stronger arc and I do think if Moon Knight had been perhaps seven had been you know more in the psychology at the finale and a little bit more pay off.
off, it could have taken that number one spot.
And as it stands now, I think it's my number two.
Really enjoyed the finale, but I did feel some wanting.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'd echo everything you guys said.
I think I would say I liked it a little bit less than you guys.
Because I'm just trying to push buttons in the comments.
Marvel Hater now.
I just want people to disagree.
This isn't a Captain Marvel movie.
You can't talk like that.
Engage.
Edge.
Say it isn't so.
It's like 80s.
Engage in the comments.
If you're listening on the only the podcast,
you can't see what I'm talking.
You don't see the biceps.
The rippling biceps happening.
My flannel biceps.
The 90s are consuming your arm.
He's got 90s nirvana biceps.
No, I would say that this episode had some of the coolest moment.
that I've seen in the entire series.
They're like, the fighting, while not long,
there's not one really, truly long fight scene
in any of these episodes, is there?
They're all brief.
Everything's brief.
This one, you got two fight scenes, effectively.
I thought that was very creative
because they distinguished the fighting
between Mr. Knight and Moon Knight very well,
and especially Jake Lockley.
It's all off screen.
Everyone's dead.
If it's a bloodbath, it was Jake, luckily.
So that must have been Jake, was that Jake in the first episode?
I think so.
And I also think it was Jake, obviously, in that one time they were both like, what, what was that?
But I think there's probably, if you rewatch it a couple episodes where the blood bath means it was Jake.
I think we saw Jake probably more than we think we did.
Probably, probably.
There's going to be a lot of people doing videos about that, racking hundreds of thousands of views on them.
And so, yeah, I think that some of the fighting was some of the cool.
coolest we've gotten. I actually was really worried once I saw massive omit, like growing
omit was like, oh, crap. I was like my first thought. And then as it progressed, I actually
thought it was really cool. Kiju fight. It was a kaiju. Does that he say it? I'm George to Kee.
Kijun, Kijun's fight. Kijun. Yeah, I thought that was a really cool fight. I mean, it wasn't
like the coolest fight ever, but it was better than I expected to be.
I like some of the phasing of even just conch you on the ground level of how he moved there.
So, yeah, I like when they go giant and, you know, that slow motion.
When they swoop the-
Feel the scale.
I love them when they swooped in the car was so tiny.
That was one of my favorite shots.
Well, and that was a good establisher that like, oh, yeah, these are physical forms
and they are wreaking havoc over here.
Yeah, yeah, I thought that was really great.
Layla
Layla
I like the acoustic version
better from Eric Clapton
unplugged more than
the actual rock and roll edition
Wow
That's right guys
He's an artist
I'm an artist because I've named
one of the two Eric Clapton songs
I like a more obscure version of a popular song
You might know Eric Clapton but I know his B sides
I know his
The Concert
So yeah
I thought Layla's costume was great.
And full disclosure, we don't know who she's playing.
It might be an original Marvel character.
But if you guys know who the character is from a comic book, please let us know,
which would be very interesting for the MCU to have like another female hero.
We don't have too many lady heroes in the MCU.
Girls get it done.
An Egyptian hero.
and if it's going to be completely original.
And honestly, I think it is,
and I feel like this is a really cool way
to start introducing new heroes in this direction.
Like, Harley Quinn came through the animated series
and then became a comic book character.
Oh, I get what you're saying.
So, like, having a TV show introduces,
through women, through the TV show.
Comic book artists don't like right of male females.
But I feel like that's a really, like, smart way
for the MCU to start to be unique from the comics.
Yeah, yeah, very true.
I thought her powers were really cool.
It was Wonder Woman-esque, sure.
At the same time, it still felt like its own thing.
I like the use of the flight, the wings.
I was a bit concerned that it was going to be.
Once I said that, and I saw where my thoughts were going,
and then I heard what some of the comments might say.
And now I'm going to stop there.
Self-edit.
I'm going to say this instead.
Well, no, I'm going to say what I'm going to say.
I'm going to stop you from saying what you were probably going to say some of you people out there,
was that I was concerned that it was going to be.
Layla was going to save the whole day.
and now I know a lot of people
I'm like oh freaking woke agendas
and whatever you're too
yeah and I didn't
that's not where I was going with
I just thought of what
I might undercut the show a little bit
just for the fact that your title character
is not the one who's the hero
or like actually saves the day
but that's something I did like about this as well
like it gave us the arc
of the character fully
Stephen and Mark coming together
embracing each other as
brothers and learning to
literally just live during the day
like with each other.
They just,
they know how to alternate
back and forth.
It kind of,
kind of happen a little quick to me.
So that one more episode,
I really would have loved one more episode.
This should have been two episodes.
Like,
if you,
if you play the episodes back to back of five and six,
Steven's gone for like 15 minutes.
That's it.
As opposed to like having the reads,
having the breakdown,
having the bond,
having the development of the two voices,
having all of that take longer,
have the psychology back in the psych board,
have that developed,
have the Harrow stuff last a little bit long,
have the fight work in the same way, probably the same pace,
but just letting the moments breathe other than the fight.
Because I feel like the fight was the right amount of time.
I feel like the fight, especially the switching between Mr. Knight and Moon Knight
was so special because it was so rapidly between the two.
If it was longer, it wouldn't have felt special as long.
And then juxtaposing the small contained fight with the Kaiju fight was really cool visually.
So I loved all that.
But whenever it wasn't fighting, I did feel like they were like,
we got to get back to the fighting.
And I was like, but there's so much psychology that we're resolving here.
Yeah, I didn't feel much
I wasn't really hooked it
Like nothing was really like
Latching into my emotions
During this episode, you know
And the rest of the series I have been
Other than the probably
You know, the part when they do actually bond with each other
I mean, where Mark does rescue Stephen in the sand
Well yeah I was gonna say this was
And then this isn't to spoil
Multiverse of Madness
I had a similar kind of complaint about that movie
Was that this kept giving me these scenes where I was like
This is so wonderful
Like I love that back and forth
between Stephen and Mark, or even the back and forth between Layla and Conschu, I thought was great,
where she's like, I'm not going to be your slave.
Like, there are all these moments that hint at some really great character unpacking.
And even for Harrow, I think he got slighted maybe the most in this episode because I, again,
have been loving Ethan Hawke's performance, and he makes that ultimate sacrifice.
And there are all those moments where he's like, hey, I have dedicated my life to you,
but you know what?
If my scales aren't balanced, I accept my fate.
Like, I loved those bits.
And then, you know, he becomes Amit's avatar.
And then pretty much from there, it's just like, well, okay, so we got to bind her to him.
And there's the physical stakes.
And as long as we can kill them, we'll be good.
And, yeah, it was one of those things where I feel like it's all there.
It just could have been more graceful, and it could have come down to more than just the plotting.
Yeah.
I still feel like it got a little too big for my taste.
Too big too quickly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because, like, omit, for some reason, just doesn't leave much of an impression on me.
And why does her avatar not get a cool outfit?
I don't know.
You just get to say it in the same ropes.
At first, when she shut up, I was like, interesting.
And then she started talking.
And I was like, yeah, I feel like this buildup to Amit being unleashed really wasn't anything special.
I didn't find, other than like cool visual of Giant Conshu and Giant Amet, the character of Amin and the buildup to, ultimately what she was doing.
I really think this needed to be two episodes.
I hate that this is a comic complaint.
It didn't drop my stomach the way I wanted it to, yeah.
Nor did it feel as.
didn't start feeling actually scary or menacing until she was like,
we're judging everyone in Egypt right now.
And there were a bunch of moments that were cool like that.
Like there were a bunch of moments where we got excited that.
Like I want to give the episode a lot more credit for those things that did work.
It's just the major, major thing of wishing it was more length is the undercurrent.
Like we can say we love, you know, the emotional ties of seeing that giant rapture.
We can say we enjoyed the emotional connects between them too and the.
fights and all those things but without the time between those moments it did feel like that's all
we can talk about well yeah it's like there's there's moments and then there's scenes that's like
there's a big difference between them and i think that a lot of the the actual scenes were just
not having the effect that i think they were intending that that were desired you know like there's
a lot i feel like you go pick a part here and there's a lot i think you can isolate and look back on
and go well i appreciate that like you brought up the scene for podcast listeners john brought
up the scene.
That's me.
About, you know, like when Conchue is debating with Leila.
I do like that reveal, though, of Conchue being like, I never wanted that girl.
Yeah, that was nice.
The Jake reveal, I think this might be one of the first times we had the show end in a post-credit scene.
We were talking that this isn't like a continuation into the future and further.
It is obviously setting up things, but it's also kind of the end of the show.
And it's interesting to do that after some credit.
And I don't know if I've seen that.
Well, I think what's neat about that reveal,
I know we're kind of hopping around all over the place here,
but that's kind of the vibe that's left here,
is that Conchew is, he has a negotiation with Mark and Stephen,
you know, and then it makes Mark and Stephen feel like
they're finally in control of the situation with Conchew.
And then the ending reveal shows you, no, they're not.
They're not in control.
And they probably have never been in control.
And they're not even aware of it.
There's only, like, T's...
By now, they should be like
there's a third personality in me.
They have to at least somewhat deduce that.
They haven't even said that to themselves.
I'm like, this is the second time.
Maybe that's a defense mechanism.
Like, maybe they're, you know, protecting that much.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, you get it here in that one bit of, like,
that definitely wasn't me.
That wasn't me.
I do like that he's a Spanish-speaking character
because, you know, Oscar Isaac being Cuban and Guatemala
and totally did not look that up
in between setting up microphones.
being Cuban Guatemalan and being able to represent that here is awesome.
Also, the ability that he has to go between languages and accents in the same sentence is staggering.
Some of the acting in this, obviously the whole show, we've been praising the acting,
but every time he transfers in between moments, and in this one now that he's doing it in real time,
like he's actually both Stephen and Mark live at us, incredible work, like truly staggering.
yeah definitely how do you guys feel about harrow overall as a villain throughout the series
i think it felt like ethan hawk personally his character i really liked him more in the psych ward
more than i did as actually arthur harrow i like what he represented inside of mark and stephen's
mind more but i know you really yeah i parked on him a lot throughout this series so i'm curious
to know like how you feel about arthur harrow in total yeah i mean MVP in terms of
one of the MVP's in terms of performance.
I mean, like, you know, all the flowers
to Oscar Isaac, absolutely, but I
really do love what Ethan Hawk
has brought to this. And
again, I liked the
notes with him that carried
through this, but I got to
kind of agree with you that the most interesting
and part of the interesting thing
about the way he is the doctor in,
you know, the mental
asylum, you know, sort of spiritual
way station is based on your
association with him on Earth. But yeah,
I feel like that is the most interesting stuff when it comes right down to it.
And I kept wishing that there was, again, more time to explore him personally.
Because there's so much really interesting connective tissue between him and Mark, Steve, and Jake, et cetera, his relation to consue and everything.
And, you know, he gets kind of a raw deal with Amit.
And I would have liked to have, I don't know, it's interesting.
It's a badass and very kind of cold-blooded ending that they give to him.
but it's like, oh, he's dead now, I guess.
That's that.
I don't really like that cliche anymore
where character kills people constantly.
And then when it comes down to the big batty,
they become a moral hero.
That was my time to get a good guy
because the bad guy is left.
And I especially didn't like it here
because that was,
ridiculously rushed.
He's been killing so many people.
Like, as the monster is constantly
in this episode alone, he's like,
stab, stab, stab, stab.
But until the guy that's trying to kill the planet,
no, he's still.
And the fact that
so much of the conflict between Stephen and Mark
is Stephen going, dude, you're a savage.
You kill in cold blood.
We can't do that anymore.
Like, that's cool. That's fine.
Except this episode also then goes to
swap that round and go,
well, Mark's actually not that much of a savage.
is Stephen Lockley, he's the savage.
So it kind of muddies that up too.
That scene felt very perfunctory to me in the way that was handled,
and it just was just like, get the lines out of the way.
That's how it like read to me in the moment, just so quick.
And especially after we had just had this really cool moment of introducing a new hero
and having this really cool, like, power couple moment,
to have that undermined by this very traditional, oh, this is a hero moment.
It felt like, oh, we're subverting expectations and expectations.
and that the rest of the show
hadn't felt that way for me
that's very good point
because I personally really liked
how you know Jake Lockley
you don't see him
take out all the bad guys
you don't see
although it might have been cool
to do one of those like
fight club montages
or joke of montages
where you like go back
and you see
speaking Spanish
because I told you when he popped
in the cab
and he was like
what's that accent
I would love to see him
speaking Spanish
just cut away to him
killing five people
and say via condios
it's the El Mariah
There's like a whole Robert Rodriguez movie that happens.
That's episode eight, I want.
Borrowing from Hobart.
I didn't care for that scene.
Well, because you could have come down to something interesting
between the two avatars and between, again,
somebody who has known Conchus service but also now under Amit's service.
You could have made an interesting conflict that also plays off of
or bounces off of what is literally gigantically happening in the backdrop.
Harrow didn't get the chance to really manifest his being the official avatar,
nor did we really have the actual conflict of the avatars greeting Ethan because they got killed off camera.
So, like, you've set up this thing where Ethan Hawke has been forgiven inexplicably
because Oscar Isaac's like, yo, he's doing some stuff.
They're like, we don't believe you, Oscar Isaac.
And then he marches in.
They're like, oh, I guess he was right, dead off screen.
I would have liked to have had some more there.
To me, the biggest disappointment of all this, the biggest disappointment is that it did exactly
what I was worried this finale would do, which was go big, go big, have a lot of action.
But we had five episodes prior, even the third episode, which I personally thought, a lot of
people love that episode. I thought that was the weakest of the five. I really felt like
the thing they dropped the ball on the most was they dropped everything about conversations,
psychology, and they just went for big. You know, they had that one great scene where you do
see, you know, Mark and Stephen entering back into their own mind, working together.
Beautiful.
Defeat, you know, like overcoming the manipulative psychiatrist, therapist in their own mind.
I thought that was a really great acceptance scene on top of it all.
That was a really good one.
But, like, all the, they had such good debates and conversations and philosophical, existential conversations
woven in throughout this series in so many ways and, like, discussions.
even with Arthur Harrow, with Layla, with Mark, with Stephen,
and then the gods debated in episode three at least, you know, discussing this.
And then here it's just like, zip, zip, bang, bang, bang, you know?
To me, that's my Wanda Vision problem, is I really, really loved Wanda Vision,
and there was literally a transition from Ship of Theseus to Punch Vision.
Yeah.
It goes very quickly.
Episode 6 felt like the Marvel episode, and I like Marvel,
but if you're going to let me have something that's a...
psychological and philosophical
conversation and then suddenly pivot to
punching, that's not the show.
And to me, there was, if this could
have kept the punching, but also
kept the psychology, if there was one more episode.
That's the balance they got
a strike. And that's why this had to have been
two episodes. And I don't think every show
was six, was Loki six episodes? Yeah.
It is, yeah. Wow. I think
it's a structure issue. And WandaVision's eight?
Yeah, but they're shorter.
That's true. Well, they grow, because yeah, they start
out being like 30, 25, 30.
minutes and they become like 45 50 55 and i really think that like you need like that flexibility
worked and i think moon night could have used a little bit of that like let this be seven this felt like
studio notes in a lot of way of like we got to go back it's still a superhero show so you know
let's let's get a little bit more lively here you know like with the whole thing when they're
the stakes of when stephen and mark are reunited and they're walking back to to get out and there were
still so many cool things but yeah it's just like that's the thing and then the
The Cyrus, the boat, and the friggin, yeah, I'm going to stop the waves.
Like, it starts to feel a little like a Disney movie at that, at those points.
It's silly. It's silly.
So.
Yeah, and it's also.
And if Koi's having issues, you know this is a real thing.
You know what, you guys.
I'm trying to be a person that hasn't painted.
We're back.
We're back.
I got three more minutes with Koi before he turns to do a pump.
Before I am a pumpkin.
Before I turn into Stephen Locke.
But yeah, you know, it's like last episode, a lot of these episodes just like are so invigorating that no matter how tired I am, they just spark a thought process.
And here I'm just like, my feelings I'm left with are some of the coolest moments.
Like the action was really cool.
Like that was really getting me a lot of the time.
And it was also that feeling, too, of like, I really want to keep loving this.
So I'm really trying to give in to the cool even more.
But then by the time it wraps up,
literally it was the scene when Mark is like,
I'm not going to kill me to do it, you know?
At that moment was when I was like,
okay, yeah, this has totally lost me at that moment.
For me, like the problem was how good the rest of the show was
that my expectations were at that consistent A,
that like high concepts, a really interesting,
thought-provoking situation.
And then for the last episode to be,
You know, a B-B-minus, it's not bad.
It's not, you know, it's just below.
The average show is not even a B for me,
but the average of this has been an A,
so a B feels like a downgrade.
So comparatively is the problem,
and that's what's hard about these six episode shows,
is if you've got this momentum with five
and then six doesn't stick the landing,
it affects your whole experience.
And I do think there could have been a bit of a different way to handle
the what was left of the story to tell.
Especially after that remarkable fifth episode.
Five, man.
Well, because it makes that fifth episode
then feel like it's out of a separate show
and got dropped into this more sort of fun
and swashbuckling thing.
And if we could have had that,
because I feel like five in general
stands separate from all of them
because they all have a certain reliance on adventure
and we've got to keep things moving and stuff
and we're building the psychology.
And they're all crescendos there, and it doesn't feel like we gracefully came out of that crescendo into this.
You know, it feels like we started in one show.
We had that fifth episode to really kind of flood it with this saturation of emotion.
And then the last one kind of ends up somewhere in the middle, kind of like floating in the middle of those things.
I'm curious rewatching it now that I have the expectations of the last episode being so action-packed if it'd be feel better.
Now that, you know, like now that I know that's the route if the whole show, you know,
knowing where it lands feels better.
I just don't think you can get back to light, to lighter without feeling a little bit of that
kind of, without feeling the difference in the weight, you know, because this does just feel
like a lighter thing at the end.
And there is something, too, about that that I think narrows the scope or makes the scope
again feel a little bit more like a cartoon.
And I think, you know, in reveling in some of those harsher, darker, more challenging emotions,
you can then help legitimize all of the crazy magical circumstances around you.
But the faster the circumstances have to unfold,
the more everything starts to feel like a roller coaster ride.
I like what you just said about lighter and darker.
I wish we had a couple moments to like appreciate the fact that
that so many people were dying in the streets of Egypt.
And we were seeing these people like judging each other.
And then we were seeing like this massive horrific event.
And it was like 30 seconds.
Like we didn't get time to realize how traumatic that was.
We didn't get time to realize like these people are.
judging their neighbor and killing
them. And that's all happening. And we've
set up the whole show to that. Like, this is the
revelations we were like waiting for
Amit to come back for them. It was like, we've got to get back to the
fight. And I just, I wanted to live there
more. I just keep,
I sound like a broken record. I just want more.
And I love that this is my problem, but like, I want more.
Yeah. Yeah.
Well,
here we
are again, another Marvel finale.
Good moments. Some great
moments. A lot of great moments.
A lot of great moments.
A lot of great moments.
Overall, where you guys rank the shows.
Oh, boy.
I like ranking stuff.
I'm a list guy.
I'm a Virgo.
How many shows we got now?
It's top five too big.
V.
Low key.
I'd still give the edge to
Moon Night.
Falcon.
This would, yeah.
You got two left.
There it is.
I was letting you get there.
Then episode four of what if of Dr.
Strade and then what if?
It's its own little category.
It would probably be
Loki, Wanda Vision,
this and Falcon and Winter Soldier
can grapple for the next slot
then what if Hawkeye?
So this is a little slightly above for me.
It goes Loki, this,
Wanda Vision for me.
But those three are like this beautiful
like different, you know,
top category.
And then Falcon Winter Soldier
Hawkeye,
what if?
Man, it's tough because
this one I really
I don't know why
I feel especially
as much as there were like
some really cool exciting moments
it's one of those things
that the more I think about it
the more I feel like
I'm in the sand
just like
I'm feeling empty and cold
because I think it hurts more
when the show proves it can sing
and can be so great
and then it doesn't keep it.
So when we talk about it
I'm like
oh I'm withering away
And I'm over here going like I like that
Moon Night Mr. Knight fight and I really like
the dichotomy between the sizes
and I really liked the moment where they're brothers
and bonded again and I'm going to say in the happy space
I'm going I'm over here like you know
somewhere out there there's a timeline
where this was incredible
somewhere there's a timeline where there's seven episodes
so I was very excited about
every show on the seven episode timeline
there's a multiverse collie very excited about the seventh episode
of Moon Night
all right well what did you guys I at least had fun at the time I was watching it with you guys
yay that's what I'll say I'll leave it there it was fun at the time of watching it and the less I talk
about it the more I can just appreciate the enjoyment I had I wasn't bored the real fist
of conchie was the friends made along the way you see the only real problem I'd have is if I was
bored but I wasn't bored so if I'm not bored then all right fine I'll give it to you
in the morning not bored yeah and i was up till 630 yesterday's and i would rather i'm good now i would
rather want more of what we're seeing which i do than want less of what we're seeing which i don't i would
absolutely be excited for a season two 100% yeah i think we can all agree there the imagination
and the tonal expansion alone is is worth the effort i'd also love to see him pop into other different
tones and how weird it would be if moon night was just suddenly like hanging out spider man moon night and
Deadpool.
I shouldn't have given us mics.
We're talking way longer than usual.
Definitely. Good luck at it.
We like our voices.
Here we are.
I'm not any shit.
