There is a separate fan base for upcoming films in the Hollywood Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Many images and web series have come from this Universe so far. A total of 28 films have been released, including the recently released 'Doctor Strange Multiverses of Madness'. Marvel has also produced several web series with these movies. The latest in a series of 'Moon Night' web series. However, the characters from the previous Wanda Vision, Falcon and Winter Soldier, What If, and Hawk Eye series have been featured in Marvel movies. But for the first time a Marvel character was introduced with a web series. As always there are huge expectations on Marvel movies and series. And let's see in the review how entertaining Moon Night was released amidst this hype.

Story:

Steven Grant (Oscar ‌ Isaac) is an ordinary man. Works in a museum in Egypt. He suddenly becomes blank at times. He gets up and looks at different places. A few days pass before he gets back to where he lives. For Steven, the dream is something unknown. In this order he gets a call. In that call he is called Mark Specter instead of Steven. At first I could not understand why he was called Mark‌. He later finds out that he has passports in the name of Mark Specter. Gradually Steven realizes that he has a multiple disorder. He realizes that Mark Specter‌ is changing every time he goes blank. Also shocked to know that he has a wife Lela (May Kalamavi). But is his body Steven Grant or Mark Specter? Why did he become the Moon Night, the incarnation of the Egyptian Moon God? Who is the reason for such a change? What is his responsibility? Did it work? How many more people are there in Steven Grant? You have to watch this web series to know that.

Analysis:

The six-episode web series is directed by three directors, Mohammed Diab, Justin Benson and Aaron Moorehead. What happens to the hero as well as the audience at the beginning of the series? Why is he going to other places when he is blank? Is it a dream? Really? Things are shown very well as suspense. The action scenes, such as the change of mark to 'Moon Night', were very impressive. The directors succeeded in capturing the scenes without getting bored. However, it would not be good to show the Moon Night superhero more powerfully. Violence is a bit high here and there. In many places there is less heroism than expected. The climax scene that comes in each episode .. is to increase the curiosity of what the next episode will be like.

Who did it?

The actors in the series were superb. Especially in the role of Steven Grant, who suffers from multiple disorders, Oscar did as Isaac Marvelous. It's like Steven Grant and Mark Specter are two different people. Steven Grant is a soft and intelligent character while Mark Specter is a violent character. The emotional scenes between the two are very impressive. Isaac's acting is a highlight, especially in the emotional scenes that come in the fifth episode. May Kalamawi also excelled in the character of Leila El Fouli as Mark's wife and archaeologist. The action scenes he does are good. It is a privilege to become a superhero himself in the last episode of the series.

Ethan Hawke's performance as the villain Arthur Harrow is also particularly impressive. Made his mark as a good powerful villain. The main strength of the series is the action scenes as well as the actors acting. Music provided by Hesham Nazi, Gregory Middleton, and Andrew Diaz were further added to the Palermo cinematography series.
