in Kane Chronicles, Khonshu was depicted as a gambler who would weave you more time out of moonlight if you manage to beat him in a gambling game, if you lost, however, he would eat your essence

@@firxanza5172 Sounds reasonable because one of his original appearances in myths is basically weaving time in order to the goddess of the sky to have her children, she had to win by playing a game, essentially, he gambled time and said he could only give her five days maximum.She had to win fairly, too.

Moonknight appearing in the MCU has been something ive waited for literal years and Khonshu looks sooooo good
Hey Arris, good to see you, I love Variant and you guys!!
Khonshu also has a second avatar called hunter's moon from what I know, but he only got introduced like, last year, so he doesn't really matter that much
His voice in the series is not what I expected but it's growing on me he has great sass
What I love about Khonshu is that there is a big ambiguity about if he is real or not and just a big figment of his imagination, that it's maybe all in his head.

It's like that in the newer comics as well. Originally, he looked like a simple Egyptian God. Then again, all of the elder Gods seem to have alternative forms they can switch between. Like Atum (father od Khonshu) can become the Demogorge God-eater.
Just finished episode 1, pretty dope so far.
0:14 Well, Moon Knight is often considered to be Marvel’s Batman. 5:27 I’m vaguely familiar with the Stone Age Avengers, and would definitely be interested in a video about them.

I love this show so far. As for the shirt that is the classic Adam West Batman emblem.
Definitely need a video on the stone age avengers.
There needs to be a series on all the moon Knights.
I think it would be more helpful if you compared his abilities or lores compared to Gods, Eternals, Deviants, Elder gods etc that are already established in MCU
Fun fact: One of Khonshu’s uncles is Thor through Gaea along with many other Gods in Marvel. Gaea is present in every Earth pantheon as the Earth Goddess under different guises.
Actual video start at 1:43
I love how the cinematic moon knight suit takes inspiration from khonshus mummy theme
Hi l love your videos so much information and you dig so deep and thank you so much 😊
I've heard of Khonshu, the Moon God in Marvel Comics. He took over the earth during the Age of Khonshu story Arc.
Sweet Cobra Kai reference. Moon Knight ep 1 makes a little more sense now. This is the 1st marvel show where I've never read their comics
"Jason Todd, the first Robin" is that some alternate universe?
it's been a while since i've read some comics properly, but each time i watch reviews recently, i'm like 'whoa.. that's.. kinda.. too much'. and it feels weird since one of my favorite arks is exiles where all kinds of crazy and 'too much' happens. it makes me feel like i'm outgrown comics and it still feels weird and sad! oh, and thanks for the video!
wow!!!!!! i needed to see this
Even as a massive Marvel fan I knew close to nothing about Moon Knight. Thus far I’ve enjoyed the series on Disney+. It was so different and so cool! As per usual, thank you sir for this fantastic video

I kind of liked early moon knight when it was kind of suggested moon knight was a unreliable narrator and he may have just gone insane from his experience in the desert and konshu may have just been a voice in his head, but they eventually did away with that ambiguity in order to up the scales and flesh him out more.

Khonshu is kind of a jerk. He tells Mark that he's pathetic, all the time, and since he is a multi-faceted God, with multiple personalities.. And he gave his powers to Mark... Mark ends up having multiple personalities himself. Later on, he tells Moon knight to collect power to fight mephisto, and beats thor and takes his hammer, and obtains the phoenix force. Khonshu doesn't think this is enough though, and goes on his own little rampage.

Great video, I guess though it wasn’t made clear if moon night is a good guy and or bad or similar to the Punisher? Speaking of such character, I would love to start a question of what marvel or DC would you like to see take up the spirit’s power? It would either be Wolverine or Batman for me.

1:38 ad skip.
Do an episode on the various mythological gods and their Origins. Were they created by the Celestials like the Eternals? Who created them or where do they come from? Are any of them aspects of other mythos; in other words is Zeus the clone of Odin or Ra? Or is Odin the clone of Zeus or Ra? We know the Celestials are the Gods of Mutants. As such genes and evolutionary biology are the means of their bestowed power. The Gods, however, have religion and worship as their bestowal on mankind. As such is their a "will" associated with the avatars of the Gods? The rival, but slandered, theory to Darwinian Evolution is Lamarckian evolution. Is there a Lamarckian source to rival the gene theory of superpowers in the Marvel Universe? Not a "spiritual" source as in Dr. Strange, but a carrier of "will"?
