Mohamed Diab basically explains that Oscar did the whole scene of Marc and Steven conversing in a take with the camera just panning between himself and the mirror as a transition between Marc and Steven. Like??? Oh my GOD
Oscar literally manages to change his whole demeanor, his facial expressions, accent, and his posture in SECONDS while the camera pans from Stevenās reflection on the mirror to Marc. I honestly thought that this scene was filmed separately, and they had VFX for Stevenās reflection but nope. It was filmed in a shot with the camera panning back and forth between Oscar and his actual reflection and gODDAMN.
Iāve said it before, but Iāll say it again. Oscar Isaac is so damn talented and if he doesnāt win an award for thisāif MOON KNIGHT doesnāt win any awards for the production as a whole, I will riot. I swear.
so I am a member of a did system, and I'd like to share some terms you should start using!
"fronting" it means being in control of the body, but it's much more comfortable to see as a system
"alter" different people that make up the system, like marc and steven are not two 'personalities' they are two alters
"cocon" it's when two alters from at the same time!
"DID" disociative identity disorder, do not call it 'multiple personality disorder'
thanks, you are legally obligated to reblog this if you post about the show please make this fandom a safe place for systems trying to find representation
not me waiting for the moon knight assembled episode to get released today, only to find out that they postponed the premiere until May 25 and they just never announced it š„²š„²
just a random thought, and im not sure if it makes much sense BUT in the series, do you guys think Crawley has been wondering where Steven has been? The man does seem to come drop by every night after work at the least, bringing him food with Pralines, tipping him, and talking about his day, but it just stops? Like,,, the last time heād seen Steven, he gave him a hug? I honestly donāt think he thought that would be the last time heād see him for a while? Makes me wonder if he misses Steven in one way or another idk š¤·š½āāļø
On another note, I feel like Marc would end up visiting Crawley as well, after all the events of episode 6. Just to say a quick thank you for keeping Steven company (even if he was technically doing his job and Steven just vents to him). Since we do know that Marc knows about Crawley because of this scene in the asylum episode:
I genuinely cannot go a single episode without praising Oscar Isaac.
Like???? The slight flinch that shows how Marc transitions into Steven? The quick change in accents and facial expressions? The overall shift in the aura as Steven fronts???
And here too? The transition from an extremely confused Marc to a very worried Steven? The way his furrowed brows shifted to a more surprised position? The way his eyes ALONE expressed these types of emotions so clearly, that one would know Marc apart from Steven without even having to look at their armor?
And HERE?? THIS ENTIRE SCENE?? God DAMN.
And!!! Jake lockley, baby! He gives off a completely different aura from Steven and Marc. (I canāt add more photos because of the tumblr media limit š)
Oscar???? SIR?? Youāre a damn LEGEND, and thatās still an understatement. Hopefully we get more moon knight soon too š„ŗ gonna miss everything about this show </3
Bro I need to know, does Steven come back in the final ep in moon knight? I wonāt be able to watch it for another few days and I need to prep myself if he doesnāt come back š
This is asking me to spoil it, right?? Just making sure?? But either way, spoiler warning just in case!!
yes he does!! I wont tell you how he does so you still have that to look forward to, but donāt worry!! heāll come back stronger than ever š„°š„° I understand the anxiety though, I wouldāve started a riot if he didnāt š„²
basically?? these two would never leave each other to save themselves, and thatās a fact.
Exhibit C:
This scene when theyāre about to get claimed by the Duat again.
Marc turns around to look at whatās happening, then Steven turns and they both try and help each other get out of it??
Even if Marc told Steven to go ahead because heās slowing them both down, Steven kept his hands on him to help them both reach the gates on time <3
In the same way, when Steven gets so excited the second he realizes someone came to buy them time, let alone realizes itās Taweret, Marc just has his hands on him for support and so he could help him move so they can both get out on time as well š„¹
Til the end, baby <3 my precious darlings š«¶š¼ they have my entire heart honestly.
Hereās another little detail from a scene that I will never shut up about:
Steven throwing one of his batons at Harrow, who deflects it, and Marc catching AND using it as well?? I SOBBED LIKE???? Theyāre working together now š„¹
My darlings š«¶š¼š«¶š¼ I love them so much š„¹ā¤ļø
Can we just admire Marc Spector for a while? How he was in paradise yet the only thing he could think about was Steven?
He most definitely had a choice here: Staying in the field of Reeds, which Steven spoke so highly about, and going back to the Duat and sacrificing eternal peace.
Taweret did make a fair point, with Marc being in the field of Reeds, he was at peace. The peace he always wanted but was never granted in his entire life. Away from danger, from loneliness and hurt.
He technically didnāt need Steven, but he needs Steven, if you get what I mean? He made the choice to go back so quickly because he loves Steven with his entire heart, and he believes that Steven deserves peace just as much as he does.
Bringing back another thought I had while watching episode 5, Marc considers Steven to be the little brother he lost when he was younger. He doesnāt have the heart to abandon him, not after everything Steven had unknowingly protected him from.
He sacrificed the field of Reeds and went back to the Duat for Steven, even if he already knew what doing so would entail. He didnāt know the gates would open, and quite frankly, he didnāt care. All he wanted was to tell Steven what he was feeling, baring his heart to him and being so much more vulnerable than ever. Even if it would be the last thing he did.
Despite the pull of the sands of the Duat, he managed to bring his hand up once more and bring his heart to Stevenās hand right before he was taken as well. And this entire scene just ā¦. Itās beautiful.
āYou are the only real superpower I ever had.ā
Can we talk about how Steven replies with āit wasnāt that little.ā !!! He heard absolutely everything when Marc opened up to him even if he was claimed by the Duat š„ŗ
OH MY GOD. EPISODE 6. EVERYTHING ABOUT EPISODE FUCKING 6. THE POST CREDIT SCENE. I JUST FUCKING FINISHED IT ANDIM OUT OF BREATH??? I SCREAMED CRIED CHEERED N LAUGHED IN THIS FUCKING EPISODE THAT REALLY THREW ME IN SO MANY DIFFERENT DITEHCJDBAHAKABAKAHFG
IN CONCLUSION: WE NEED MOON KNIGHT SEASON 2 PLEASE
Just in my thoughts again!! I havenāt seen anyone talk about this, but this might be a long post again idk
Can we talk about how Randallās nickname is RoRo, and that day they went into the cave, he specifically said that he wanted to play Rosser,
Which means that Marc would be Dr. Steven Grant? So one of Marcās last memories of Randall was his little brother calling him Dr. Grant?
Dr. Grant. Doctor STEVEN GRANT. The one who protects Rosser and leads him throughout their expeditions? The one who assures Rosser that nothing could hurt him?
Marc Spector dissociated, and Steven Grant became his alter due to the trauma Marc went through with his past and with his mother.
āWhen danger is near, Steven Grant has no fear.ā
Steven Grant, one of his idols from Tomb Buster. It was also one of the last good memories he had of his brother, Randall, who had chosen to call himself āRosserā before everything in the cave took place. ļæ¼
In addition, I would also like to point out a couple little details that may have slipped past anyone:
āHe drew the fish with only one fin.ā When Marc said this line, it was almost implied that this was not the first time Randall had drawn this, and in this scene?
Look behind Steven. Marc has one of Randallās drawings of the āfish with only one finā. Itās definitely a different one, since the drawing he has framed on his bedroom wall hasnāt been colored in completely, unlike the one Randall was drawing on the picnic table.
