Steven is only aware that he "sleep walks" so he straps himself to the bed, and puts the sand down to see if he left footprints and tape on the door to see if he's left his home
about Dissociative Identity Disorder (very different than schizophrénia) - each alter/identify has different story, speech patterns, and act differently in the same environment (like you can see in the show) - dissociative amnesia is one of the most important criteria (losing hours, days, or even weeks sometimes) (so steven can't remember if marc is taking control for example) - this mental health condition is commonly caused by trauma in a form of detachment/protection from it. -one alters tend to be the host "the body" in this case that’s probably Marc. sometimes alters are fighting to take control, sometimes it can be more fluid. -co-consciousness is when you switch alters without the amnesia
heads up that there's speculation marc is still the host here as he is in the comics. much thanks for getting this all down, hopefully the guys read it.
The booming voice did, when they were in the cupcake van chase, say something like, “Marc, if he loses the scarab, I’ll kill you both,” so the voice did speak directly to Marc at one point.
@@ISavant He mentioned Marc when Steven wakes up with the broken jaw and also like @amandadougherty said in the cupcake van chase Kohnshu said “Marc, if he loses the scarab, I’ll kill you both”
Marc is definitely in consciousness everytime even though Steven is there but when Steven is wake up, only Steven is in control not Marc. But when Marc is in control, Steven is not even in consciousness and control. From what i've seen in Ep 1. That is why Khonsu speak to Marc to force take full control of his body, because Marc is there, just not in control. Steven don't even know that Marc is there, but Marc know Steven is there.
I won't spoil comics stuff, but as for the "bird thing", the Egyptology aspect of this show is important in a bigger way than just Steven's interest. The little girl's line about him being dead could also be potentially important. That's my own personal speculation, this show has done things quite different from the comics, but that line seemed pointed.
I think girl just wanted to be edgy and kinda bullied Steven so I doubt she actually knows about all whats happening, but at the same time Stevens response is important because he sounded so unsure about him being dead or not
@penguin0912 Well if the girl was a little creepier and perhaps disappeared from sight or something and did the "Batman vanish" Like the little kid in final fantasy 10 that you see when the town is being destroyed by Sin when time stops, It would be more fitting and that theory would be more obvious. But I thought she was some kind of omen at 1st and was connected to the plot.
Steven doesn’t know that he has the other personalities, in the beginning he just thinks he sleepwalks, so the sand and the ankle strap are to track if he gets up. Only the audience knows he switches in and out of being Steven...
He has split personality btw, and real symptoms is you don’t even know when you fall asleep and stuff, that’s why he wakes up randomly and does not remember or know anything
Ammit is a goddess that works in tandem with Anubis in determining the fates of souls in the afterlife. Anubis prepares the bodies, and weighs the hearts of the deceased against the feather of truth. If the heart is lighter than the feather, the souls pass on to the afterlife unhindered. If the heart is heavier, it was a sure sign of evil, and Ammit devours the hearts of evildoers. Ammit was portrayed as having the head of a crocodile, the front legs of a lion, and the back half of a hippo. If you look closely at the cane and the tattoo on Arthur Harrow's arm, twin crocodile heads are marked on both of them.
31:51 It's one thing i really like about the series, the take on the egyptian mythology. I hope with this, we can get more pantheons of gods in the MCU.
He put the sand around his bed so that he knows for sure he got out of bed and not “dream” that he got out of bed, because for him reality and dreams feels blurred because he was not aware about his DID at the time.
As others have mentioned, Moon Knight does *_not_* have schizophrenia. He has DID (Disassociative Identity Disorder, formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder). He has another consciousness in him, an alternate identity (or alter).
I do hate that comparison. Though, to be fair, that comparison came about from the early comics, and I don’t think that same comparison has been made of any recent Moon Knight runs. But… like this guy has powers given him by and Egyptian God… c’mon people. Batman? Lol
In the elevator, my interpretation is that he's scared to the point he falls unconscious, then Marc takes control. In the bus, on the way to work, Marc then releases control and Steven wakes up. I'd say there are 3 ways another personality can take over: Sleeping, giving up control, and losing consciousness.
Not schizophrenia, he has dissociative identity disorder! Schizophrenia actually has nothing to do with multiple personalities. But that’s a very common misconception
Moon knight falls into the prestigious category of Marvel characters who are compared to other Dc characters even though they have literally nothing in common with said super hero. Like this dude is like literally nothing like Batman
@@tynanwaring3292 I was gonna say that you were wrong but then i remembered that one of Moon knight personalities is a rich guy. So you got me on a technicality
52:35 In the discussion, Left Guy is making arguments similar to a Christian Apologist and Right Guy is arguing more closely to an Atheist. Left Guy is claiming that since we don't know, he can make any type of assertion and you can't prove him wrong, so it's just as valid as saying "I don't know," as if they're equal. Right Guy is saying, since we _don't_ know yet, we shouldn't make any assertion that claims that we do. Instead, "I don't know" is a fine answer and we can't honestly go beyond that point without additional information or being dishonest about what we know. Left Guy is saying, basically, my 'very specific thing' and your 'I don't know' are equally likely to be true. That's not how things add up.
I'm really liking the mystical occult vibe of this show, especially with the music. I'm looking forward to Blade and what comes next. I really hope they don't try to ground it within the MCU too much by constantly referencing New York or the blip because that kinda ruined the charm of the other Marvel shows for me. That and the rushed writing. I get that they exist to interlink the canon but I'd rather they just treat these shows as a jumping off point into something new.
lots of folks saying that d.i.d and schizophrenia is not the same, and that's true! however, that doesn't mean that moon knight *doesn't* have schizophrenia. although it's never explicitly mentioned, it is implied in the comics a lot based on the fact that he does have also have intense visual and auditorial hallucinations. not sure if this'll be explored in the show or if everything he's "seeing" (khonshu/old lady in the hall, marc in the mirror, etc) will be chalked up to magic.
might wanna just do some research into DID, schizophrenia, and all that before theorizing on that front. i'd recommend educational resources rather than anything that's subjectively told. it's kinda clear y'all are only halfway aware about what they even are, so it might be better for your own benefit to read up and not dig yourselves any deeper before someone ends up particularly unhappy about it.
The first thing that fans need to understand is that the MCU is "correcting" the cannon and in doing so making "Moon Knight" WAY more badass. Konshu is a God. "Big G." The Son of Amon-Ra and Mut. This is going to be choice.
I think you all would like Deadly Class I'd love to see you guys react to it for some reason there's no reason there are no reactors anywhere and it was pretty hyped until it got canceled... Oh, shoot me funny DM (you can't do that on RUclips anymore because apparently no one used that feature and they removed it) but just tell me how much you all want to do that. Maybe it was a copyright issue or something I think it was a SciFi original and no one anywhere As a reaction to it
I had to watch a 2nd time for it to click. I’m thinking it may even be a 3rd personality that goes to work at the gift shop and asked that girl out. I can’t see Mark letting Brit Citizen Karen the manager rag on him all day.
The third personalities name is Jake and he is a cab driver. I personally think that Jake is the one who asked out the door guide. Because she would have question Mark having a American accent. I'm also seeing people wonder if the key Stephen found was for Jake's cab
its only two at the moment steven & marc eventually there's going to be 3 personalities. marc is the one that's being used by konsu which is the moon god which makes marc the avatar for moonknight so there one of the same. third one is going to be Mr. knight. in the comics there are way more personalities there only going to do 3 for now which probably works best. there's another version of him where his a taxi driver in new york so maybe he eventually end up there too
Hopefully mk doesn’t go to New York, there’s already a lot of heroes there already. Not only that, but it’s getting boring that these films are set is the us
@@megasauruss well in the comics, marc spector was a normal mercenary until Khonshu resurrected him and made a God to man connection with his brain which caused physical changes in his brain fracturing his mind creating different personalities. Marc also is seen to have a small control of the personalities unlike the real world disorder.
@@5entience626 that might be a special case, but it’s still in bad taste to say that any one of the alters is a true host, imo. Especially since it seems that Steven is actually the one managing everyday life, which makes HIM the Host Alter.
@@megasauruss yeah i agree that there isn’t any “true” identity to someone with d.i.d but in this case there definitely is a “first” identity which is marc spector.
Steven Grant, Jake Lockley and Marc Spector are all one. The Booming voice we heard in the background is Khonshu, the Egyptian god of Vengeance. Marc is the actual person with the past, we see that proven true in this episode with his phone and Layla. Steven and Jake are persona's inside marc's head. Steven also seems to be Marc's go to when his body needs to heal. Anyway, this episode shows Steven is leaving voicemail messages to a mother that doesn't exist, she can't, as he isn't real. We have heard Jake yet, but he was with Marc in the reflection--he was the silent reflection doing as Marc did. I don't know the comic story all that well, but like everything in the MCU, this is quite different. Steven looks to be Marc's cover and he's perfect. We see with the people around Steven that he's a very forgettable guy. Save for Donna, his supervisor, no one remembers his name. Steven blends in, and it helps that no one remembers him, lol. That's the perfect cover for a guy that sort of stands out. I really enjoyed this first episode. I hope they're able to keep up this level of excite going forward. What a first episode!
Steven is only aware that he "sleep walks" so he straps himself to the bed, and puts the sand down to see if he left footprints and tape on the door to see if he's left his home

Pretty sure Marc is the 'primary' alter, and Steven has only come about recently.
@@DizRupTnz yes sorry that’s more likely he’s the main character in the comics and people are trying to reach to him sorry
@@nox_tech_ yes you’re right
Its so crazy how many ppl dont know the difference between schizofrenia and DID

That line is so funny. Especially with the delivery.

Omg, me too! 😁I'm not sure why red liquid is coming out of my feet tho 😅😂🤣🤣🤣😅
0:54 As someone who has a sibling that is schizophrenic... no multi-personalities is not schizophrenic
13 deaths in one episode, I feel like that's the highest count in any marvel show episode

Also only mark can control the moonknights power that’s why he keeps asking for control
44:58 Is my theory that Marc is sending Steven those postcards as his "mom" so that's why we only see Steven sending voicemails to her.
They are exact the same postcards that Steven sells in his gift shop, so this is almost definitely true.
