We had such high hopes for Moon Knight....and Falcon and the Winter Soldier.... and Wanda Vision.... and all the other Disney Plus Marvel shows, but they keep seeming to fall short of expectations. We as a community come up with complex theories of tie-ins to other movies and other franchises, and discuss what's next week after week, but in the end there's just a big CGI battle and the show's over without leaving us satisfied. We review Moon Knight and discuss why it, and so many other Marvel shows seem to trip at the finish line.
