Moon Knight Episode 4 Review
Warning: This review contains spoilers for episode 4 of Moon Knight.
Four weeks in, Moon Knight is past the midpoint of its run and well on the way to its finale. This is usually where Marvel’s Disney+ shows start to stumble as they juggle too many disparate storylines and struggle to bring them all together. The fourth episode of Moon Knight, “The Tomb,” avoids that problem by unifying all the plot threads before throwing into question everything that’s happened in the series so far with a bombshell twist.
“The Tomb” gets off to a slow start as a pretty standard episode with plenty of expository dialogue and a smattering of straightforward action scenes, but it takes a bold turn and becomes the show’s craziest episode yet around the last 20 minutes. The wildly unexpected turn that the show takes about two-thirds into this episode redeems all the slow-paced storytelling up to that point. After a lot of wandering through the desert, exploring caverns, and shining flashlights on ancient artifacts, “The Tomb” becomes the most mind-blowing installment of the series to date. The final twist completely changes the game – fans have no idea what to expect in the next two episodes.
Moon Knight: Marc and Steven Have a Familiar Dynamic
In the opening scenes of “The Tomb,” Marc/Steven and Layla embark on a quest to find the long-lost tomb of Alexander the Great. These two characters (or three, technically) make up the most interesting Marvel romance since Loki and his female self. Layla is on an adventure with a stranger who lives in her husband’s body. She shares romantic tension with both Marc and Steven in different ways. This unique dynamic is bolstered by the terrific on-screen chemistry between Oscar Isaac and May Calamawy.
