i rewatched episode five of moon knight again yesterday, and one thing that finally struck me for the first time is that in the flashback to when marc becomes moon knight, he only begins to genuinely mull over khonshu's offer when he says "do you promise to protect the travelers of the night, and would you bring vengeance to those who would do them harm"

and it's here that you can see something shift on marc's face, and he looks down at his hands covered in blood and sand, and it's like you can see the idea forming. he just failed to protect those who khonshu would consider to be travelers of the night, he was willing to die for them - almost did, and the man who did it got away.

so now either marc can die, or he can accept this offer, and maybe bring vengeance for all the people he just failed to save.

#nym speaks #moon knight #marc spector #it really just HIT me yesterday watching. none of khonshu's initial lures work.#'i'm looking for a worthy warrior' and marc skeptically scoffs and wishes him luck with that #(moment of appreciation for his sarcasm)#and then when khonshu asks if he wants life marc doesn't know.#but vengeance.....that marc /does/ want #and that's what works.#i know they left the bushman stuff intentionally vague for extremely valid reasons and it MIGHT come up later in canon i guess but like.#UNLESS there's smth i'm forgetting in canon that suggests otherwise #i really feel like that man is dead. i feel like that was marc's first mission as moon knight.#also yes we're in danger meme.png i'm making meta posts for marc spector #i've seen this film before. etc etc
