When he's Steven, Issac's body language is smaller, his mannerisms and voice are 'smaller', like a man who sees himself as insignificant. As Specter we see a man who carries himself with the confidence of a soldier, his voice is more confident, more decisive.
No it fucking doesn’t. Cuz of episode 5? great but there are far better written shows. Also Oscars are for movies. Emmys are for TV shows. Now if you mean acting nomination then only Oscar Issac deserves an Emmy for his acting.
0:59 I noticed this exact same thing in the first episode. He barely tries arguing with Steven and persuading him. Instead he keeps it real low key. You can tell deep down he thinks what he’s doing is the right thing to do and he doesn’t try to force it on anyone else.
I would love to see Moon Knight run across a lot more of the MCU in the special way only Moon Knight could... like the Dr. Doom amulet story... the fight with Taskmaster... wisecracks with the Punisher and Spider-Man..
@@Pifla He might be Persian-Jewish, but Shaun Toub was born in Iran, which is as adjecent as you can get. Whilst I appreciate the importance of extreme accuracy to some wanting representation, he was pivotal to Tony's survival and arc, was a professor, and was a good man, the last two of which I'd hope would be accurate to at least _some_ Iraqis, regardless of his actual nationality or ethnicity. I'd consider that enough. It's not a perfect analogy, but I wouldn't expect nor desire accurate representation of the British or Irish in Bollywood movies, for example.
@@Pifla Again, all valid and respectable complaints. I personally prefer the greater accuracy too, if only for making the world more believably unique and less comical to the educated. I also agree that less privation doesn't mean no privation, but I race-change these complaints in my head across the entire spectrum of races, for some perspective, particularly the 'racist' part, and all I conclude is that they're of someone with much self respect and a low threshold for offence.
@@Pifla 'The US likes to frame the narrative through media and movies such as Iron man that brown people are either poor and helpless or crazy and fanatical.' Aside from the fact that the Ten Rings were written as an international terrorist organisation for the very purpose of actively avoiding this stereotype, and that The Incredible Hulk in the same year depicted Rio de Janeiro as a suitably developed city in which I could certainly live, I'm staunchly anti-interventionist, too. Maybe they're not brown enough for some, but be they South American, Persian, Middle Eastern, or whatever, to imply that the US military influenced the script is a claim that requires evidence. I also agree with the argument that international impact is different between movie business cultures like Hollywood and Bollywood, thereby imbalancing power for the weilding of narratives. That said, I think it's telling that we've had numerous movies from Hollywood, including in the last decade, with prime, majority non-white casts, telling us that at least some shift has occurred in terms of representation. Not sure how your claim that reality's equivalent of Yinsen would be less heroic than portrayed in the movie helps your argument that non-whites are too often portrayed as little more than obstacles or objects, but I'll take your word for it. 'The people there are not fanatical but become radicalized by US involvement.' I'd argue that blaming the radicalisation of individuals entirely on an occupation by foreigners is to project a bigotry of low expectations of their moral agency, but I've seen how easily anyone can be radicalised by propaganda. The US media has done a good job of sustaining the narrative that US foreign policy is that culpable, but I don't disagree in some cases. That Lybia literally has slave auctions, even after our 'help', is one reason for this.
Really interesting to hear how they handled mental health and accurate depictions of Egyptian backgrounds in the show! Super stoked to watch!

Awesome stuff - love to see more middle eastern representation and enjoyed learning more about the show. Great interviews!
May is so beautiful

No it fucking doesn’t.
Cuz of episode 5? great but there are far better written shows.
Also
Oscars are for movies.
Emmys are for TV shows.

This gets me so pumped for the show!

Wonder film
Phew. Sean Oconnell didn't do this review. He would have found this show hard to relate to and therefore meaning it is unwatchable.
I love the first couple episodes but the 4th and 6th episode was just 🙄😔ehhh.
are u kidding? those eps were amazing
@@iwantchickfilarightnow yeah, our likes and dislikes may differ
