#Marc Spector
#Khonshu
#so yeah this is yet another story that ends on the incredibly bitter note of Marc fully handing the reins over to Khonshu
#(with the added bonus of being zombified and eating former comrades)
#but idk this page in particular got me thinking (on multiple things) so bear with me
#firstly I find it increasingly interesting how in these short stories a reoccurring theme if the creators are going for the horror angle
#is Khonshu taking full control and yeah that’s terrifying considering how much of modern MK comics are about restoring autonomy
#both in the literal sense (shaking off Khonshu’s influence and kicking him to the curb) and in a more ephemeral sense (proving that
#while categorically neurodivergent MK’s not just «some loony» but a dependable hero in his own right
#so I guess it just gets me that in this case it’s a matter of sacrifice
#that Marc would give up something he fought endlessly hard for to save civilian lives (although the creators succeed in making this
#still feel like not a complete victory)
#the other major things for me is Khonshu’s «faith has never needed rationality» which is…something I take personal umbrage with
#that’s a common understanding of the term but arguably the strongest faith is born of rationality
#the idea of logically coming to the conclusion that «I have combed through everything on this Earth and determined that there are something
#outside the human understanding and thus I’ll hold strong to a faith in something not of this world
#the fingerprints/evidences of which are still apparent even in this world too»
#thus personally I see Khonshu’s statement there as another example of his oft-used manipulation: his attempts to convince Marc that
#his mind and consequently Marc himself are unreliable and useless without Khonshu’s guidance
#(i.e. overbearing and uncaring control) and tbh that’s pretty horrific
