Start date: March 30, 2022

What it’s about: A man with dissociated identity disorder has three distinct personalities named Marc, Steven, and Jake, and becomes the avatar for the Egyptian moon god Khonshu which gives the man superhuman powers. Marc/Steven must then team up to stop another god from reemerging.

Major new characters introduced (but not killed): Moon Knight (I’m counting all personalities as one), Scarlet Scarab.

Major new concepts introduced: Of course, the Moon Knight character in general, which then opens up the idea that Egyptian Gods are out and about in the world. That there’s an afterlife. And, at one point, isn’t time itself rewound so everyone can see?

Analysis: Though there are no set plans to bring Moon Knight back just yet, that his story was made so purposefully separate from the rest of the MCU makes it hard to see where he could fit back in. Beyond a second season, of course.

Running Total: Just gonna count the two biggies which make for an even 50.
