I'm saying that if suspension of disbelief is hard for you, then the genre of TV with super powered people running around in tights might not be the one for you. Obviously. Was that honestly hard to understand?

I said nothing about suspension of disbelief being hard. You built that strawman and are now attacking it. Suspension of disbelief is easy but when the writers inject obvious SJW bullshit into a scene, it breaks such suspension.

You're being disingenuous. Whether or not it's easy to keep disbelief suspended is inherent to discussions about whether or not a given bit of writing causes the viewer to disbelieve what's happening.

It was a fan nod fourth wall break no worse than Robert Downey Jr.'s "I am Iron Man" at the end of Endgame.
Which I did think was shitty writing but hey, fan nod fourth wall breaks are par for the course here, I didn't think it was shitty because it messed with my suspension of disbelief.

Yeah he was a pretty shit character. Isaac was really good overall, but between the shit villain and uneven writing through the season it falls short of being particularly good

It had the same problem as Wandavision in that it felt like something awesome was always just on the verge of happening, but never did and then it ended.

I kind of get that, yeah. I feel like I was waiting for my 5 minutes of solid action at the end of an Airwolf episode but it kind of fizzled.
One question I have, when Steven was being tracked by the beast in the museum it didn't show up on the cameras, similarly with the fight in the street where he can only see the monsters, so did the entirety of Egypt miss the fight between two giant gods?

Im thinking yes, the gods and their minions (not avatars) only appear to whom they choose. Its why Harrow could no longer see Khonshu after he stopped being his avatar.

Not sure how the jackals fit in since they weren't Khonshu's and Harrow could see them, too

The Jackals were summoned from the Ammit's staff that Harrow had. I assume since he could summon them in the first place he was able to see them.

Could he see them? I don't think that was ever established, if so I missed it. Regardless, Im guessing as the avatar of Khonshu Marc / Steven were given "spirit sight" and thus were able to see all the mystic shit around. I wonder if now Layla could see them as the avatar of Taweret.
I quite enjoyed this series, I actually liked that they focused more on Marc / Steven and his mental health than they did on Moon Knight. And that final fight was just simply bad ass. The scene with Mr Knight straightening his suit mid fight was baller.

Ah, another "there has to be a girl shoehorned into everything" show. Got enough of that with Canada Chavez getting CGI'd into the background of every important conversation like Forrest Gump.
So is Moon Knight worth watching? I liked Wandavision, I'm starting to like Loki, haven't seen Hawkeye, What If, or Falcon Lectures Congress.
