The second episode of Marvel\u2019s Moon Knight<\/a> has arrived on Disney Plus<\/a>, revealing more details about Oscar Isaac\u2019s troubled Steven Grant\/Marc Spector and the deal he cut with Egyptian God Khonshu.<\/p>\n And as more of Marc\/Steven\u2019s backstory is revealed, the show is delving ever-deeper into the comic-book source material that Moon Knight is based on \u2013 and it\u2019s made a few intriguing changes.<\/p>\n Finally, a face is also put to the mysterious \u2018Layla\u2019 that rang Marc\u2019s phone in the debut \u2013 it\u2019s none other than Marc\u2019s wife. <\/span><\/p>\n It appears that May Calamawy\u2019s Layla El-Faouly is a reinterpretation of Marc\u2019s comic book love interest Marlene Alraune<\/strong>, which hints at a darkly complicated relationship between the pair as the series progresses.<\/span><\/p>\n In this episode it\u2019s clear that Marc is a <\/span>very<\/span><\/i> different man to Steven, with his morally grey mercenary past referenced during the car ride to Harrow\u2019s \u2018haven\u2019, growing those seeds of his past with Raul Bushman and their confrontation in the desert, a prolific event referenced across multiple Moon Knight runs.<\/span><\/p>\n When Steven \u2018summons the suit\u2019 as per the panicked request of Layla, we find rather he emerges not in the typical ancient garb of Moon Knight, but in a surprisingly sharp, all-white smart suit.<\/span><\/p> Comic book fans will recognize the similarity of the appearance to another character from Warren Ellis\u2019 run: Mr Knight. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n In the comics, Mr Knight is Marc\u2019s more approachable street-level investigative persona unlike his ancient, mummified counterpart, blending in with local society easier, allowing him to help the police and people find criminals in order to feed his bloodlust (basically, imagine if Jessica Jones loved her job).<\/span><\/p>\n This time, he appears less like an entirely separate personality and more like an aesthetic choice. The show has cleverly tweaked the purpose of Mr Knight (pictured above) to reflect Steven\u2019s interpretation of the Moon Knight suit as a humorous differentiation between Steven and Marc\u2019s self-perceptions; Steven is the politer, more approachable figure whereas Marc is the aggressive, dominant soldier that Khonshu relies on. <\/span><\/p>\n Steven\u2019s embodiment of the super-powered figure may prove a little controversial for some fans, nonetheless, the look itself is an impressively comic book-accurate adaptation.<\/span><\/p>\n Taking once more from Lemire\u2019s run, there\u2019s clearly a great power struggle and uneasy relationship between Marc and Khonshu \u2013 in Lemire\u2019s run, Khonshu desires to fully control Marc\u2019s body as his own, whilst Marc attempts to retain his autonomy; it\u2019s clear through Steven and Marc\u2019s conversations that a similar kind of deal was struck. <\/span><\/p>\n Overall, it\u2019s clear that the show is attempting to depict Khosnhu as more an opportunistic parasite rather than the god-like figure he once was \u2013 he\u2019s hungry for a vessel, and while we don\u2019t know the full details of his and Marc\u2019s deal yet, it\u2019s not unlikely to believe he\u2019s seeking a full-time vessel to operate.
