This was a change Isaac and theMoon Knight crew decided to make for the series, which helped to establish Steven as a kind-hearted and relatable protagonist early on. His humor and genuine nature — as well as his opening song «A Man Without Love» by Engelbert Humperdinck, thanks to TikTok — captivated audiences from his very first appearance in Moon Knight episode 1.
