Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Lemire run dude. Layla’s presence (Marlene), the gaslighting by Dr Emmet (Harrow) and him being told he made it up because of the media he’s consumed. I’m shaking.

Here's a little headcanon 🙌 #1
*Marc and Steven as they look at the sarcophagus*
Steven : Do you have any idea what's inside ?
Marc : I don't know. But the thing seems angry.
Steven : Wait, it stopped screaming...
Marc : ...
Marc : I'm gonna open it.
Steven : please no
*Marc opens the sarcophagus*
Jake, with his arms crossed over his chest, his eyes closed : ...
Marc : It's us ?
Steven : It looks dead
Steven : Poke him
Marc : You, poke him--
Jake, raising his hands to them : FEAR MEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Marc and Steven, holding on to each other : AAAAAAAAAHHH !!!!!!!!!!

every time May Calamawy is on screen, I’m mesmerized by her acting, everything she does is so sincere and real and charismatic and guttural and beautiful
you can see so clearly everything she’s feeling as Layla: her confusion and anger about Marc, and her desperation to get him back, her growing feelings for Steven, the grief about her father, her fear when she was fighting that mummy motherfucker, and frustration and relief when she finally ‘killed’ it, the betrayal when she realized Marc’s involvement in her father’s death, etc.

So just for fun, I turned on the audio description option, and…
Narrator: -[Now, she helps Steven into a harness.]-
Tumblr media
You know how hilarious this is? Poor Steven, our favorite socially awkward alter, probably never seen a climbing harness in his life, just stands there, probably gazing DOWN at Layla (who’s being resourceful and crouching down before him helping get this harness up his legs), he’s probably feeling a bit hot under the collar, looks back up, and says,
Tumblr media
And pauses. He freakin’ PAUSES. 😂 Steven looks back down, probably realizing that what he said came out the wrong way, and goes,
Tumblr media
Layla pops back up, and Steven tracks her movement, never taking his eyes off her face.
Tumblr media
Layla grins, likely holding back a laugh herself at Steven’s poor attempt at course-correcting himself.
Tumblr media
He can’t take his eyes off her.
Tumblr media
Layla adjusts her position, tightening a strap somewhere on the right side of Steven’s harness. Our sweet, lovestruck dumbass keeps watching her.
Tumblr media
The narrator continues: -[With two ropes hanging nearby, she leans close to secure the harness.]-
Tumblr media
Steven’s just enjoying her presence, I think. Her face is so close to his, and it’s almost like his heart is going a million miles per minute. It’s a miracle he can keep still at all.
Layla comments, “You smell like him.” She pauses, then wistfully adds, “I mean, why wouldn’t you, right?” There’s this little moment where Steven has this sad look in his eyes, because he realizes that he knows how much Layla loves and misses Marc. Perhaps it might feel a little greedy on Steven’s part because while he does want to be with Layla, he understands that he’s a factor in Marc and Layla’s relationship that neither Spector had seen coming.
Tumblr media
The narrator goes, -[Layla leans in to kiss him.]-
Which she almost does, but Steven, carrying some of that guilt within him, speaks up before she can kiss him.
“Marc's trying to protect you from Khonshu,” says Steven. Layla’s taken aback. “What?”
Steven explains, “That’s why he’s been pushing you away. He thinks Khonshu wants you for his Avatar, and he won’t let that happen.” Layla looks away, trying to process this new piece of information. She’s downtrodden that this is something else that Marc had failed to tell her. She’s pained on the inside, trying to reconcile her love for her husband Marc and her obvious feelings for Steven. Seeing Layla distressed, Steven, true to his honest nature, tries to bring her some measure of comfort, and says, “It’s alright. I just felt like you should know that.”
The narrator states: -[Turning away, she puts on a glove.]-
Steven sees Layla’s mood souring a little, and apologizes. Layla turns back to Steven and asks him, “Why are you telling me this now?” He’s not too sure why he disclosed this set of information to Layla. “I dunno, I just thought you deserved to know,” he says softly.
Layla finishes putting on her gloves, looks back into Steven’s eyes, and tells him, “Well, it wasn’t his call to make.” A beat. Then, “I don’t need protection. What I need is honesty.”
Luckily for Steven, honesty is one of the hallmarks of his whole being. He’s been nothing but honest from the get go, having nothing to hide or keep away. He gazes at Layla, and sighs. “Yeah, I get that,” he tells her. She preps the climbing rope, and asks, “That’s more of a ‘you’ thing, isn’t it?”
Layla hooks a carabiner onto the front loop of Steven’s harness and secures it with a tug. Distracted, Steven stammers, “What, being, uh… Honesty?”
Layla exhales and, despite her inner conflicts and pain that has settled deep within her, looks up into Steven’s eyes, and smiles. She decides to humor him a little. “Yeah. Being honesty.”
A little pause. Layla and Steven gaze into each other’s eyes.
The narration continues.
-[She smiles ruefully at Steven, who rests his hands on her shoulders before pressing his lips to hers.
Tumblr media
Her eyes closed and face tense, Layla returns the kiss, then breaks away. Steven’s lips broaden into a smitten smile.]-
Layla returns the smile, looks into his eyes before she turns away and says, “I’m going to go down…” Into the tomb, she means. All too quickly, Steven agrees: “Okay.” Layla cuts in, “…first.” Smiling, he tells her, “Yeah. Great.”
She continues, “Before I belay.” For some odd reason perhaps known only to him, Steven says to Layla, “Thank you.” She picks up her backpack, which has been resting on a rock this whole time. With both his hands over his racing heart and mind reeling over the fact that he and Layla had just shared this wonderful moment together, Steven stumbles over his words a little. “What’s… what’s ‘belay’?”
Layla is amused. “I still can’t tell whether you’re joking or not.” She chuckles, which brings a little smile to Steven’s face.
The narration continues: -[She clips one of the ropes to her harness.]-
“All right,” quips Layla.
-[She steps onto the edge of the pit and jumps in. Steven looks down after her and smiles… then suddenly punches himself in the nose.]-
“Oh, SHIT!” 🤣

Steven being the adorable little history nerd he is in the tomb is so funny to me in the way he’s excited and wants to keep everything safe and Marc is just like “who cares? Get the ushabti what are you waiting for?” And Steven is worried about a mummified gay icon being preserved

I love that the first thing they did was hug.

So, besides Marc & Steven hugging, I thought people would...get into that scene with Steven sticking his hand down Alexander The Great's throat because of Marc's words of encouragement...but yeah, the hug was wholesome enough than Steven breaking a skeleton's jaw. Lol.

Marc: If I didn't know better, Steven, I'd say you were scared.
Steven: Heh, scared?
*absolute silence*
Steven: DID YOU HEAR THAT?!

What I love the most about The Hug in episode 4 is that when Steven goes in for it, he's still hesitant — you can see it all over his face. After all, he and Marc have been arguing up until this point. But the second Marc returns the hug just as desperately, Steven's eyes widen comically in shock and then squeeze shut in relief. It was a beautiful moment. I will never shut up about it.

Episode 4 Moon Knight Thoughts:
(This is no necessarily chronological, just fresh from my head) (Also it's kinda long so yeah)
So it's clear they're taking a lot of inspiration from the Lemire & Smallwood run of the comics, which is really fucking cool
Layla being a badass and fighting the guys while Steven just takes a nap off to the side
I remember reading a headcannon a little while ago talking about how it's almost like Steven has the muscle memory, but in the wrong situations (I've forgotten who it was, I'm sorry), but that's all I thought of when Steven said that
Marc and Steven squabbling over Layla
"If I need a recipe for a protein shake, I'll call you" "I swear I'll thROW US OFF A CLIFF" These bitches god bless
But also Marc telling Steven he's not alone!! Honestly I love these two
Steven fucking kissing Layla anyway
It was so awkward, but so very in character
When he leaned in like that, I involuntarily looked away, but it was in character for him which I love
Honestly though I don't blame him, it's Layla El-Faouly for fuck sakes, who wouldn't fall in love with her
Steven just gushing about being in the tomb
Equally, Layla being patient and encouraging his enthusiasm!! We love to see it
Harrow is a little bitch, but I kinda like him. Like, I like him in a hateful way. Does that make sense?
ALSO when that mummy thing grabbed Layla and pulled her into the dark, I was so sure it was going to be the trope of love interest gets kidnapped and main hero has to save them, BUT SHE FUCKING ROCKED HIS SHIT!! QUEEN BEHAVIOUR!!! I WAS CHEERING SO LOUDLY!!
I've been given no choice but to stan!! But I really appreciate the fact she didn't need anyone to save her because she's strong enough to deal with it herself!!
I also really like that Marc wasn't actually the one who killed her father. It was foreshadowed, but once again, Moon Knight subverts typical expectations and. I'm. Living. For. It.
Steven calling Alexander the Great 'Mr Great'. Adorable
The seemless transition from Steven to Marc when Layla is angry. I love the idea that Steven was like 'oh hell no Marc you're in'
Another example of Oscar Issac's incredible acting skills
Also, backpeddling a bit, the drawing of the Eye of Horus was beautiful. And Steven figuring everything out!! There goes my boy!!
The breathtaking cinematography of this show. Honestly can't get enough
The continuous shot of everyone around the asylum though. Continuous shots like that aren't easy, and they did it really fucking well
Donna finally where she belongs 🥺❤
WAIT OMG I ALMOST FORGOT that clip of the old show in between was fucking awesome!! And then when the guy was introduced as Dr Steven Grant. The way I gasped
Harrow being the therapist. My guy at least take the glass out your shoes before you start playing psychologist I'm begging you
They honestly almost had me for a second though. Even though I know the general idea of the comics, the shots of everything around the room like puzzle pieces almost made me believe they were going with the "all in his head" route
Marc being sedated. DO I NEED TO REPEAT HOW TALENTED OSCAR ISSAC IS?? PEOPLE IN THE BACK AM I BEING LOUD ENOUGH??
Steven in the sarcophagus. The way he was panicking though. And when he sees and hugs Marc?? 🥺
No but honestly that hug was really great. It really conveyed the desperation and the relief at seeing someone they recognise (even if they look the same)
LET JAKE OUT
I KNOW HE'S IN THERE LET HIM OUT
I WANT MY BOY PLEASE
The difference in the screams when they see Taweret
Steven being all high pitched and shrill, while Marc is all deep and tough
Peak comedy
And when she speaks and it's like a discord trap. I can't with this show it's fucking incredible
And yeah, thats pretty much it, but I loved it as always and I can't wait for the next one (the one Jake is in, because if not I will take to the streets and riot)
