Just watched Moon Knight web series 4th episode on Disney Plus Hotstar. So let’s analyze the cast, release date, story, positive/negatives and at last my personal view on this web series.

Story: The third episode ended with Konshu (Karim El Hakim) being imprisoned in stone thanks to his manipulation of the night sky. Meanwhile, Marc and Steven (Oscar Isaac) are left without powers and without access to the Moon Knight suit.
Grant and Layla (May Calamawy) find a deserted camp site at the location of Ammit’s tomb, which is a maze in the shape of the Eye of Horus. They discover that some of Harrow (Ethan Hawke)’s men have been killed by undead Egyptian priests which then attack them. Layla defeats the priests but encounters Harrow, who claims that Spector was one of the mercenaries who murdered her archaeologist father, Abdallah El-Faouly.
Grant and Spector find the tomb and discover that Ammit’s last avatar was Alexander the Great; they retrieve Ammit’s ushabti from inside Alexander’s body. Layla angrily confronts Spector who reveals that his partner killed Layla’s father and Spector himself before Khonshu revived Spector as his avatar. Harrow arrives and shoots Spector who fall into a pool of water.
He wakes up in a psychiatric hospital populated by people from his life. After escaping from Harrow, who appears to be a therapist at the hospital, Spector finds Grant in a separate body trapped in a sarcophagus. They also see a second sarcophagus with someone else trapped inside before being greeted by a hippopotamus-headed figure.

Durgesh Tiwary’s View : When I have watched the trailer of this series planned to watch on premiere day because it is presented by Marvel and always liked superhero films.
Episode 4 of the successful series explores the absence of super power beautifully. It is no longer about summoning the almighty when in need, but believing on their own self and chalking out a path while battling their vulnerabilities. Steven might be a scholar, but isn’t brave enough to fight an unearthly species. Marc may be brave but isn’t quite clever to crack Egyptian riddles. The makers take this mixture and blend them so well that the line between Marc and Steven is almost blurred. While we know them as two distinct individuals, we also believe they are one and we aren’t even confused.
Moon Knight continues to be delightfully offbeat and constantly expands its layered characters to keep us captivated even in its quieter moments. It acknowledges the presence of every element other than the magic in this fantasy drama. The complexities of the central love story. The fact that Steven/Marc is the same man and Layla was married to the braver alter ego. It ended on a cliffhanger, where we are introduced to an anthropomorphic hippopotamus. My View on this web-series Recommended.
