    If you take a good look at the scene where Steven first wakes up on the ground in Germany with a dislocated jaw... The wider shot of the castle (seen when Steven is running away from the people shooting at him) shows that the window he had jumped/fallen out of is well over 100 feet up from the grassy spot of ground that he landed on.
    ...Meaning that he died jumping out of that window and Khonshu had just brought him back to life (again). Which is probably why Khonshu was so ticked off that the Steven persona was the one in charge.

    How come no one is talking about Khonsu calling Steven Grant the “idiot” every time he switched back? One of my favorite parts of the episode especially when he throws the gun at the car through the van’s smashed windshield. I’m really hoping in later episodes we get to see the missing pieces where Mark was in control and kept saving them.

    I love how every time Marc switches back to Steven there is a brief second where we see Marc before Steven fully settles. It flashes back to Steven and he always has an intensely focused face, in proper fighting stances, no fear in his eyes and then within a second he is back to Steven freaking out, flailing limbs and nervous posture. Oscar is doing a great job of switching between the two and keep the two very separate from each other in every way. They are two completely different people despite being one body.

    I feel as Steven gets more aware of his condition then his mind blocks out the unnecessary reflections and becomes more focused on the reflection he truly needs to see, which is Mark. Hence why he no longer saw multiple reflections in the bathroom. It only happened when he started accepting the reality of the situation.

      Interesting. In the original story, Hyde was never an alternate persona. It was just Jekyll having been freed from his inhibitions. In the unrecognized Hyde body he transformed into from the serum, he could indulge in vices and violent impulses without anyone knowing who he really was. It became an addiction. The story focused more on the dangers of being freed from consequences and the addiction to those feelings.

    Hey guys, In relation to DID, and to Systems specifically, the “other identities” or “personas” or “personalities” aren’t just weirdly assumed things as he thinks he’s these people, these are separate parts of himself, with awareness completely apart from each other, and are referred to as Alters. DID needs better representation and Moon Knight i feel may be able to give that, but not if the conversation surrounding it is ignorant to the details of the condition.

    • @themarinefan
      @themarinefan 2 года назад +6

      DID is also most commonly found in adults who have been sexually abused in childhood, and those in complete social isolation. Unfortunately people seem to think the disorder is just multiple people in one body trying to control the other. When infact it is not, and alters are also not all that common in sufferers of DID, most only completely disassociating their waking life, not really changing but not being able to remember what they did as they disassociate sometimes.

      My question is still always, how many ppl in the internet run around and claiming DID for attentition. The answer is a lot. And as long someone isn't diagnosed. I believe jackshit.

    One of my favorite little nods in this episode is the little Ghost Rider sticker seen on the elevator when Steven runs to it.

    I think that in the one scene where Steven is in the castle setting wearing the jacket over the white, it symbolizes the Moon Knight underneath the Steven identity.

    The jackal does interact with the environment btw. Just got done rewatching it. It pulled down the covers on the lights.
    That could still potentially be a hallucination, but I don't think they'd go through all that trouble if they were just going to call it that.

    Helpful hint for deciphering hieroglyphs - Ancient Egyptian could be written in either direction (because Egyptians loved them some symmetry). Start on the side the figures are facing. Also, even though some characters are 'defined' as vowels, ancient Egyptian didn't really use them. The vowel characters you mentioned were used mostly in words with similar characters, just to help scribes differentiate them. One inferred the vowels in most words from the consonants - this results in a lot of guesswork on the part of linguists as to pronunciation. Also, if the designers did their work right, you'll just be transcribing the word sounds of ancient Egyptian phonetically - you won't be able to understand them.

      Well, the scarab itself has mirrored glyphs, so technically it fits one side or the other. :P

      Considering your last point, the hieroglyphs might be transcribing English words put together from Egyptian sounds (albeit somewhat limited or distorted) if they were in fact purposefully designed by Marvel.
