Marvel Studios’ Moon Knight: Series Episode 3, The Friendly Type – Phil and Chuck dive into the first Marvel Cinematic Universe show of 2022, which brings us into deep cut Marvel territory!
Marvel Studios’ new Moon Knight series takes us into the twisty-turny world of former US Marine Marc Spector. Operating as a mercenary in Sudan, he turns on his colleague Raoul Bushman when the latter kills an archeologist as the man’s daughter watches. Mortally wounded by Bushman, Spector dies in front of a statue of the Egyptian moon god Khonshu who revives him with a mission to serve as the “moon’s knight.”
In episode 3, we follow Marc Spector to Cairo where he attempts to hunt down Arthur Harrow and locate Ammit’s tomb, all the while vying for control of his and Steven Grant’s shared body. Despite Marc’s best attempts to stop Harrow, the villain’s efforts to resurrect Ammit and bring Judgment Day upon the world go on as planned, aided by the other Egyptian gods’ banishment of Khonshu.
