Moon Knight's Finale Left Itself Far Too Little Time to Tie Up Loose Ends

Editor's note: The following contains major spoilers for the finale of Moon Knight.The newest Disney+ series Moon Knight has now come to a close with an uncertain future ahead for the character. Over the six episodes of this uneven limited series, a committed Oscar Isaac took on the dual task of playing the two personalities of Marc Spector and Steven Grant as they struggled to find a sense of balance in their shared existence. This hasn’t been easy as they also are the avatar for the moon god Khonshu (F. Murray Abraham) who often takes over control. On top of this tumultuous tension, the duo also has to battle Ethan Hawke’s menacing ​​Arthur Harrow, who was attempting to free the Egyptian goddess Ammit (Saba Mubarak). Oh, also Marc and Steven have to come back from the dead which they spent the prior episode hurtling towards. This and so much more all came to a head in "Gods and Monsters," an episode that would have had a lot to wrap up even if it had the full room to do so. Making matters more challenging, it inexplicably left itself with a finite amount of narrative runway to work with as it struggled to take flight without having to jettison anything to take off. Despite some initial promise, it all ended on a flat note.
