Moon Knight Episode 4

'Moon Knight' Episode 4 ends with a major cliffhanger, showing the debut of the Egyptian deity Taweret. Here's everything you need to know about the hippo ...

Also per Marvel.com, Taweret is the Egyptian goddess of childbirth, and "ceases aging at adulthood and cannot die by conventional means." “Right from the very first week, Marvel provided us with a ton of reference material on Egyptology, and on ancient Egyptian gods and deities,” He continues. Struggling to come to his senses, Marc undergoes some mildly stressful questioning from Harrow, who seems to be something akin to a social worker in this dream, reality, or illusion. “One of those pieces of material was a laminated poster that had like a little kid, cartoon drawings of all the different gods — one of those gods was Taweret. I spent that entire first week of our writers' room, just staring at that. Marc wakes up in what seems to be a psychiatric hospital, seeing various items from his recent adventures scattered around the ward. etc. Before we get to Hippo God, who, yes, has a name, let's briefly discuss the surreal ending to Episode 4 of Moon Knight. At the end of this week's edition, villain Arthur Harrow shoots and kills Marc Spector, which kills Steven Grant as well.

Steven and Marc somehow met despite sharing a body, there was plenty of tomb-based fun and things got a bit One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest in a hospital ...

The scene where Layla and Harrow speak about her father was written in because Calamawy and Ethan Hawke wanted to spend more time on screen together. Is it going to be another person – and if that is the case, I don’t believe it’s a character we have already met. Overall, I thought it was the strongest episode of the series so far. When Marc smashed that window, I was fully expecting the desert to be on the other side of the door, reminiscent of the scene in The First Avenger when Captain America realised he wasn’t in the 1940s and escaped into modern-day New York. But no, the illusion, if it is an illusion, runs deeper than that. Thankfully, Marc smelled a rat, even in his heavily sedated state, seeing one too many details in the room for it to be coincidence – the cane, the Egyptian artefacts, the drawing of Khonshu, the repeated line about not being able to help him, those awful sandals – and made a dash for it. I was merrily watching Oscar Isaac playing second fiddle to May Calamawy in his own show and thinking about how, even though the series wasn’t going in the direction I thought it would, I was still really enjoying it.

I mean, it goes alright for a while, before Marc confesses to being present at the mercenary raid during which Layla's archaeologist father was killed (Marc ...

And the show is aware enough of its pulpy B-movie/syndicated-TV roots to make a joke about it in the form of that Tomb Buster video. In short, it’s a show of simple pleasures, and simple pleasures are worth celebrating. (For what it’s worth, the hippo is most likely Tawaret, a fertility goddess with a protective reputation. I mean, it goes alright for a while, before Marc confesses to being present at the mercenary raid during which Layla’s archaeologist father was killed (Marc himself was shot by his own partner), then gets shot by Harrow, then tumbles into a pool of water and floats off into nothingness. Anyway, after passing yet another sarcophagus, the contents of which are unknown, Marc and Steven run straight into a chipper-sounding anthropomorphized hippopotamus, who greets them with a cheery “Hi!” Both men scream like frightened children. What good is a Moon Knight who’s no longer a knight powered by the moon?

A new recap of Moon Knight's fourth episode posted by Marvel has revealed a deleted scene not included on the final cut of the installment found on Disney+.

At the same time, Arthur Harrow is already leagues above a lot of MCU villains when it comes to the depth associated with the character. In doing so, his time for further character development is far from over, so maybe the absence of the above scene can be made up for. That said, any further details to flesh out the villain of the piece would have been welcome. with victory in sight, Harrow speaks to his congregation to reunify and invigorate the weary acolytes. "Meanwhile, at the dig site, Harrow and his disciples uncover the entrance of Ammit’s tomb. It looks like, at one point and time, an earlier cut of the installment had even more for audiences to process.

Spoiler alert: If you haven't watched Episode 4 of Marvel's 'Moon Knight,' you might want to turn back now.

There are also plenty of familiar faces in this facility: Layla is a fellow patient, while Arthur is the counselor overseeing their progress, and he sucks just as much in this reality as in the last one. Big fans of the comics who do know his history are going to be happy.” Marc is a patient in this new reality, where he’s a huge fan of Steven Grant, an Indiana Jones-type action hero. The episode begins with Layla and a now-powerless Steven arriving at Arthur’s dig site, where a series of discoveries rattles the couple beyond the point of comprehension. Arthur shoots Marc multiple times in the chest, sending our hero tumbling down a dark abyss. Their journey brings them through all manner of historical nooks and crannies, including the long-lost tomb of Alexander the Great, who was apparently Amit’s most recent avatar.
