Will they answer the question on whether Moon Knight gets his money from Dracula?

I want to love Moon Knight, but he's definitely one of those characters that has never quite landed a definitive take. It's not the kind of thing I'd go into with expectations from the comics.

In particular I like the idea that people are not sure if Moon Knight is enhanced or not. Like... he COULD have super powers gifted to him from some crazy moon god. It would explain why he keeps surviving the suicidal gak he does. Or maybe it's something like 2 parts hes actually that good and 3 parts he is insanely lucky? WHO KNOWS!?

I like that version best, I think.

The all white look kind of sucks.

I seen it explained that he 'wants you to see him coming' - at least, at a certain point.

And maybe that Khonshu asks (demands?) that he be this visible too?

Protecting those night time travels and all that...

Yeah, I don't mind the REASON for the white. And I don't mind a LOT of white. But the all white both just doesn't look good aesthetically and would look terrible on film. (all white doesn't film well) A big white hooded cape drapped all over his body still shows up real easy.

Having not read any Moon Knight, my vote is we get the Bendis version. Most of my favorite books are written by him.

Bendis fails to stick the landing too often for me. I really enjoy his dialog, but the stories themselves always seem to stumble across the finish line. He's like the JJ Abrams of comics for me. I go in expecting both enjoyment and disappointment and that feels really weird after seeing it happen enough times.

I don’t know if I’ve actually ready a Bendis story end. I generally don’t pay attention to the authors of the books I read, just the characters. I only took notice of Bendis after the made the big deal of him leaving Marvel and going to DC and suddenly my favorite books got worse and I found they were all written by him. I’ve been really enjoying his Superman stories since.

A lot of people started following authors instead of characters. Good writers do great things with a variety of characters. Good characters still have terrible stories by bad writers.

Hickman and the rest of the Dawn of X teams working together to tell a singular story has been the highlight of comics for me recently. Since Dawn/Powers of X it's been some of the best comics writing in the last decade.

Following writers will leave you a lot happier than trying to follow characters for sure. Sometimes its good to stick with a character just to discover new writers though.

We are on the verge of the original Netflix deal expiring, so might be plausible.

(Same chatter hinting at Luke Cage/IF reboot, which would be a shame as I liked Mike Colter in the role, even if the shows weren't always top notch.)

My never-gonna-happen dream would be a Power Man & Iron Fist series set as a period piece in the 70's.

Rumour that the role Disney wanted Keanu Reeves for is apparently the lead in Moon Knight.

I love Keanu, but hiring an older actor puts a natural cap on how much we get out of a given character in the mcu. I prefer if they cast younger.

Anyone else and I might agree, but I don’t think that’s a concern when you hire an immortal.

Yeah, a whole series is unlikely, but I could see them do a dream episode of two of that if one of them were to suffer a concussion/coma.

Here here. Bendis has good grasp of the characters, fun dialogue, it all looks so good, and then his plotting gradually falls apart.

I'm a little late to the Iron Fist party, But I wanted to put in my own anecdote. I was working in the film industry in Atlanta while that first season was in production, and from what my stunt actor friends said, the iron fist actor put in basically zero effort to learn his fight choreography and that is part of the reason all the fights in Iron Fist felt so odd and disjointed.

Oscar Issacs in talks to play Marc Specter.

Reportedly.

That'll work!

Again...depending on what approach they take here.

I'm still concerned they're going lean into the "Is he crazy?!?" angle a little too hard though.

I can absolutely see him with the mustache being a cabbie (Uber driver?), and clean shaven. I think it's a really good choice.

Will he get his money back from Dracula?

Probably not, as that is an edited image meme and didn't really ever happen "for real" in the MU.

Too bad though, I guess!

I mean... hopefully Moon Knight gets some cross over with Blade and they get to go after Dracula. That would be pretty great.

The worst part, really:
